    If you thought some of the sports so far at the Olympics were a bit **** then brace yourself for BMX. How this is ever a medal sport is beyond me. Do they put lolly sticks in their spokes to make them sound like a motorbike?

    Why don't we have conkers, penny up the wall (only if Penny lets you) or hopscotch?

    Of course when Team GB bring home the gold medals BMX will become the best sport in the world. FACT.

    What other games from your youth should be an Olympic sport? Answers on a postcard.

    If ****s mincing about on gay horses is an Olympic sport then why not BMXing?

    I had one of them but ended up swapping virtually every bit of it for fancier bits: OGK wheels, bear trap pedals, lean back saddle, mushroom grips, etc.
