Crashed Ice: Downhill, Competitive Skating

This was on the Bicycle channel when I got home this evening (and when did VS become NBCSP? ), and I'm still on the fence as to if this is one of the neatest sports ever or if it's just blindingly insipid. Judge for yourself.

and when did VS become NBCSP?

In the past few days.

Thanks. They sure were quiet about, eh? I don't recall seeing a single tv spot or any sort of print media (let alone internet) announcements about it. Then again, considering what passes for content on that station (reruns of Tin Cup and that dreadful Rob Lowe hockey movie from sometime in the 1980s, offroad trucks, ect), NBC might have been to embarrassed to0 say anything.

Yeah, they didn't make a big deal out of it, I caught a quick promo about it on the Golf Channel, which is also affiliated with NBC.

But I do love the movie Tin Cup, Roy McEvoy reminds me quite a bit of myself in some ways, LOL.
