Personally I don't like the cruiser classes. I don't think the Elite Men or Elite Women take it seriously but use it as an extra possibility to win a title at a race like the European Championships and the World Championships like this weekend in Taiyuan, China. They hardly ever ride the 24" and I'm glad it's no Olympic discipline. All the cruisers do is confuse the outside public of what BMX is about. BMX is about the 20" wheels. Anyway, here are the results of the Elite and Junior classes of the World Championships in China. Whatever man. We've got some funny photos to go along with them. Enjoy the pics. Forget

about the results.
