Nemo CD Mark Lewman is out in Beijing checking out the BMX events, a big first for these riders – BMX, China, Olympics no way! They are all stoked check out the NYT piece. Meanwhile there was a crazy pile up that laid Kyle Bennett low – here’s pics of the action leading up to the crash.

Kyle Bennett, a team USA athlete racing for a slot in the finals, gets tangled up in the first turn. This was the gnarliest crash of the day.

The berms are asphalt and riders carve through the corners held in place by G-forces. Their bikes are almost level against the wall of the berm. So rad.

But one fuck up at this speed and it all goes to hell in a hurry.

The Dutch guy leading the pack buckles under the G-forces and he goes down, starting a chain reaction of bad stuff…

…Which ends with Kyle Bennett on the ground, completely jacked.
