• MrSmith tommy. I don't even ride bmx as i lack any bike skills, i just think that the general public just see a bike if i was a researcher/producer for top gear looking for a story on bike v's car i would look at the stuff on dvd and the net and from a non cyclist point of view pick the kind of bikes and riders to make a 10 minute piece about a particular car. i don't think they would pick a fixed wheel cyclist to do the story, they have done dan atherton on his downhill bike the idea was nicked from the red bull race in lisbon and a couple of bmx's as lets face it getting airtime or manualing along a wall and grinding a hand rail is far more visually exciting than a fixed skid and barspin.

    i don't hate fixed tricks i just think they look a bit tame compared to what's out there in the world of 20,24,26, that chinese girl knows her shit though.

    Yeah I know what you mean when it comes to the tv view-ability point of view (horrendous bit of grammar there). Sorry if I seemed a bit short, we all get internet cranky some times.:)

    Anyone got a yotube link to this episode? I tried top gear + bmx and topgear Budapest (or was that just word play on hippies part) and had no luck.
