OLN & Unis

[SloMoJo]

I never really tuned into OLN, until watching the tour this year. What a great station! I love the countdowns. 25 greatest overcomers, 10 most radical outdoorsmen, etc.

Watching last night, and 2 guys ride MTB unicylces. (top riders)
It was just amazing what they could do. Hude drops, crazy decends, stunts, you name it. They rode across some country in the far east.

I heard about mtb unis, but first time I actually saw it on film.
Nutz!

Gotta tune into the Lance Chronicles tonight. 2 hour special starting at 8pm.

OLN .... 2 thumbs up.

Agreed OLN is great.

There was a guy last year at the 24 hours of Great Glen that was on a Uni, he did the plunge!

Despite the saturation coverage of all things Lance this year, OLN is generally cutting way back on cycling coverage compared to the past. They used to show all the Classics, daily coverage of all 3 Grand Tours, even some MTB racing. Thursdays prime time were all bike racing.
Just this week they cancelled previously-announced coverage of September's Vuelta a Espana (tour of spain) and there will be no coverage of any of the fall classics or world championships. Interesting, given the record ratings and all the new bike racing fans OLN trumpets in their post-tour PR. Plenty of bull riding and bass fishing for them though.
This is the subject of much ranting on the forums at http://www.olntv.com/olnbb/index.php
