I am going to be watching Mike and the other BMX racers. I have a 10-yr old grandson who is a 10-novice with the National Bicycle League (NBL) and he won his first race at the age of 7. He is in his 4th season and has the talent to be an olympian some day. Lance started in BMX and look what he accomplished. I look forward to a very positive result from our BMX Olympic team.

I have been a big fan of BMX since I was in junior high. I’m now 37, so you do the math. And yes, I still wear Vans.

I have to admit, seeing BMX on a TV commercial for the Olympics gave me chills. Good luck, Mike, we’ll be rooting for you.

I am so glad to se BMX in the Olympics. Go USA!

Finally, after 30 years, BMX and its riders get some well-deserved respect. Best of luck to you Mike, I’ll be rooting for you in August!

BMX is such a great sport. I did it when I was a kid 25 years ago. I hope it gets the attention it deserves!

I wish my friend, Dennis Dayrit, the 13-year-old expert 1985 BMX World Champion, could have been around to witness this exciting event. He passed away 3 years ago, but I’m sure he’ll be watching from above. I never saw him ride, but he was an awesome wrestler. Good luck to you, Mike.

I was pulled into the BMX scene a year ago by my husband and two daughters (6 & who race, and it has been a ride like no other. I want to wish the USA BMX team the best and thank you for showing the world our sport. Bring home the Gold!!

Mike won Silver! Congrats Mike!

Hey Mike! My family and I are so proud of you!! You went from 9 year old tyke to super biking champion. Hope to see you at the Grands!—-Munoz Family

I grew up with mike and bubba and everybody out in Palmdale and Santa Clarita. We were No Mercy racing in Palmdale. Its cool to see these guys finaly get the big break they have had coming for a long time. Its just to bad i couldn’t be apart of it with them.

Most people seem too fearful of the term “socialism” when it really does support capitalisim. The USA is too capitalistic and needs a balance. True socialisim starts from the bottom up. Politicially people complain about it, but they didn’t complain about it (socialisim) when they got the tax rebate check in the mail. Capitalism started when they shipped jobs overseas to countries like China and India that pay 10 times less than that of the us paid jobs. Fair trade would help fix this…… Not Free Trade! Nothing is free not even freedom! Just add up the cost. Cut off welfare at the hip, and make people work for a living. Increase Loal law enforcement inside the usa not just abroad. Right Now not just the USA but the rest of the world needs a “ROBIN HOOD.” Who takes from the rich and give to the poor. People who make less than 30,000 dollars shouldn’t even have to pay into social security.People who make more needs to pay more.
