I Compete: Racing

	MOTOKING BMX CO. says: 4/25/2008 7:27 AM
	BMX To Get Nationwide exposure on NBC TV's Today Show! BMX is going to be getting some major U.S. TV time next week, when Kenan Harkin breaks out a little BMXin' on NBC TV's, Today Show which is seen in tens of millions of homes across America every morning. Kenan will be the BMX Racing commentator during NBC's coverage of the first ever BMX Racing event at the Beijing Olympics this August and has been the racing voice of the UCI's international TV broadcasting of the UCI Supercross and UCI World's events for the past year. According to Kenan, the show airs on April 30th. The BMX portion will air during the 8:00 A.M. hour and again during the 10:00 A.M. time frame. Being seen in the TV feature will be Team USA's, Donny Robinson, Kyle Bennett, Arielle Martin, and Kenan. Evidently, a small BMX track will be built by UCI Track Builder, Tom Ritz and will feature a Pro-Gate starting system. Both of the U.S. sanctioning organizations, the ABA and the NBL are helping this get off the ground, as well as GT and Free Agent Bikes. The Today Show has been on NBC for 56 years and is the top rated morning television show in the U.S. market. It's quite an opportunity for BMX to get some great exposure....Hats off to Kenan and all who have helped get the whole thing goin' on, it's bound to be a hit! Now, if they can just get Matt Lauer (Today Show host) on a bike and clearin' some doubles, it'd REALLY be new.
