Bicycles used to be the main means of transportation in many Chinese cities. They are making a comeback these days with the ubiquitous shared bikes. And cycling fanatics are grabbing our eyes from early mornings, late afternoons all the way to the middle of the night. Perhaps it is not too surreal to assume that Bicycle Motocross will only surge in popularity with more exposure at the Olympic Games. / Why do employers post job vacancies on lifestyle platform Xiaohongshu, or Red (14:40)?

  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is round table.

  • Bicycles used to be the main means of transportation in many chinese cities.

  • Today, they are making a comeback in their ubiquitous shared bikes, and cycling fanatics are grabbing our eyes in early mornings and late afternoons through the middle of the night.

  • Perhaps its not too surreal to assume that bicycle motocross will only surge in popularity with more exposure at the Olympic Games.

  • Hello, Im Lai mi.

  • And this is roundtable today with Yuxian and Joshua Caudreau.

  • Lets continue our special program celebrating the Olympic Games and find out what fun it would be to watch a competition of, and perhaps even to participate in, freestyle bmx.

  • Get ready for Paris this summer, where tradition meets the cutting edge.

  • This year, we're thrilled to introduce a fascinating series of sports that will redefine the excitement of competition.

  • We will witness exhilarating heights of sport climbing, gravity defying tricks of skateboarding, and epic waves of kayak cross.

  • Join us as we celebrate the spirit of competition and see history in the making.

  • Experience the thrills of new sports in Paris.

  • Don't you miss a moment of it.

  • Today we are talking about another relatively new addition to the Olympic programs, that is freestyle bmX.

  • And we are lucky to have someone who is quite familiar with the sport.

  • Joshua Cotterell, you mentioned before the show that you have practiced or done freestyle BMX or BMX as your main sport as a teenager or as a boy.

  • Yeah, I feel like I've got serious impostor syndrome even saying that, because I don't think my level was very high.

  • But I absolutely love bmx, and it's been my favorite sport along with football ever since I was young.

  • When did you first learn of bmX, and when did you begin to take an interest in that?
