    No Men's XC on Saturday on SD Time Warner???

    I checked the San Diego TV schedule for Time Warner and they don't seem to have on the Mens XC finals on Saturday! :?:

    They do seem to have the Woman's finals on Friday so that is good.

    Guess I can watch on the net but the games are looking sooo great in big screen HiDef. Can't wait for the BMX tonight :bang:

    Holy Crap, those gaps are huge! The track looks artificial, are the black turns rubber? The dirt is well packed, it looks like a fast track. Mike Day from the US was super fast. BTW won't be on till 1:15ish am, then 1:45am again Pacific time, I'm watching an east coast feed.

    I've checked the schedule a bunch, I can say this much - if you have Dish Network in Los Angeles County then you can watch men's cross country mountain biking sometime between 12:00am and 5:00am on Sunday, August 23 on NBC 4 supposedly in HD. women's race doesnt appear to be on tv...

    online coverage for women is 12:00am to 2:15am on friday, august 21....and men is 12:00am to 2:45am on saturday, august 22

    this link is helpful in finding when it may air in your specific area...

    Hilarious hearing the commentators explain "casing" and "OTB" to the insomniac and tivo-ing masses.... :lol:

    Well I managed to stay awake to see it.Track is sick and the action even better.I guess it might take awhile to catch on and get in the spotlight.The track ( like all) is about rhythm, but the thing is if you mess up,the race is over with the size of the gaps on the track.:bang:

    The track was awesome, especially the start hill and gaps over the track itself. But I am pissed that I deprived myself of sleep for only three motos worth or racing. They could have shown the semis, and maybe the womens Quarters as well. Oh well, I guess BMX doesn't have the viewer count as the other sports that feature people with Perfect-10 bodies in very little clothing doing amazing things.

    I have "Olympic Fever". The symptoms are what we shall call "Olympic Flu", which is the aches, pains, fatigue, & exhaustion from staying up waaaay too late watching BMX.

    I literally got teary-eyed watching Kyle Bennett get up, put his helmet and shoes back on, and finish riding the course after he got taken out in his 3rd moto. Heartbreaking.
