Surprisingly, it (mtb-ing) doesn't televise very well; terrain is flattened
out (both in terms of pitch AND technical...er, ness). Best example was the
Olympics -- BORING.
They (OLN, ESPN, etc.) did try showing some "dual slalom" stuff, but it was
more like BMX/Snowboarding or something and not what I consider true
mountain biking. Also pretty boring, IMO.
