MTB will not be televised as far as I can tell, but you should be able to watch it online with live streaming video. It will be live at midnight Pacific time (3 pm Beijing time the next day). I have it set so they will send me a reminder text message 30 minutes before the event so I don't forget.

Thanks for the Thanks, Mr. DownHillPhil, but I probably don't deserve them for the last post. I was just trying to leach info off of others. However, I then decided to take the initiative to look it up for myself, and it turns out that it will be broadcast on NBC, from 10pm-12am tonight, along with other sports including but not limited to mens gynmastics (Parallel bars and my favorite - the high bar) and womens gymnastics (balance beam), track and field events (womens hurdles, mens 1500), and mens springboard diving final.

Thanks for this post are by no means necessary, but at least they would be relatively warrented. Thank You, and have a great day.

Edit: whoops, BMX is gonna be on tonight 12:30-2:00 am, not 10-12.

I'm actually looking forward to it and really don't even know squat about it.
Matter of fact, what does BMX stand for?

I tried out for the Olympics in BMX, but I didn't make it past the first jump.
Oh wait that was somewhere else.
