spartan Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hey Guys, I wanted to know what you think of getting trials to be an olympic sport.Would the pros want to go and who would sponsor such an even. Is trials diverse enough to have enough countries send a rep.I wanted to petition the olympic committee to consider bike trials but need to get support for both the UCI and BIU and i would need several pro to add their support.Any opinions??Cheers,Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I very much doubt both the UCI and BIU would support the same event, they do their own event's which are completly differant, and the pretty much disagree on fundamental rules.

trialmil Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think it would be great, and it could work.they took it out of X-Games because of beeing so "slow". But in olympics, there are slower disciplines.I'd watch it on the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
