At a press conference for the "Good Luck Beijng" 2007 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup held on August 14, the event organizing committee briefed the media on preparations for the upcoming event.

On August 20, the newly-built Laoshan Bicycle Moto Cross (BMX) Venue will host its maiden international event - the "Good Luck Beijng" 2007 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup - as a test event for the 2008 Olympic Games.

It is the first time in the history of the Olympic Games that BMX, or bicycle motocross, is included as part of the Olympic sports program.
