Episode notes

This chapter explores the differences between street style BMX vs. park riding and the increasing popularity of BMX freestyle in China, including discussions on introducing the sport into school programs, emerging professional players, and Chinese athletes qualifying for women's freestyle BMX events at the Olympics.
