I concede that it takes a lot of skill to hit a small white ball to a very far small hole, I'll give you that. But BMX is a sport where you have to employ a variety of hand-eye, feet-eye, coordination. And try speeding down one of the those hills going 45+ miles per hour, and lets see if you don't eat shit because those guys have to have a lot of discipline and skill maintaining their balance on a sport where you can actually get injured!
