08.23.08Freestyle BMX More My Styleposted by NicoletteBeardAs an Xtreme sport newbie, I mistakenly thought that all BMX was created equal. Reading a recent online Bloomberg News opinion piece clarified the matter. If you watched the Olympic BMX motocross final, it became clear to anyone under the age of 40, that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) doesn't quite know how to blend Generation Y's action sports with it's institutional inertia. And as any marketer knows, Gen Y is all about changing the dynamic, turning concepts on their proverbial head. It's why the real cult heroes of BMX are in Portland, Oregon, this week headlining the AST Dew Tour. John ...

08.22.08Toronto man caught with nearly 3,000 stolen bicycles(Alan Benard for Poor Mojo’s Newswire)Toronto Journal - In a Cyclist-Friendly City, a Black Hole for Bikes - NYTimes.com Mr. Kenk’s legacy now fills a former police garage with a leaky roof.

08.20.08Fred Dreier’s Olympic Notebook: Jill Kintner’s long road to BeijingThe Jill Kintner that will compete in Wednesday’s Olympic BMX finals is not the same woman who took her third world title in four-cross mountain biking just 11 months ago. Sure, she still boasts the same chatty personality, curly ponytail and toothy grin — those qualities aren’t going anywhere. But the Kintner of today is a bigger, badder, stronger version of her former self. Bulging triceps flex from under her shirtsleeves, thick hamstrings and quads fill out her jeans. She’s ...read more

But today... today was the final stage of the 2008 Tour de France, a race which has finished on the Champs-Élysées every year since 1979. It has to be one of the most beautiful sporting stages in the world. Just watching the race, I can remember every time I've strolled the Avenue, picture the shops, visualize the insane traffic in the circle around the Arc de...
