Skateboarding in the Olympics

[SkateOrTry]

separate events held for the ledge-dancers and hammer-heads at existing spots in whatever city. Where we need the most PR is out in the streets, and Olympic type exposure to real street skating would probably help open some minds and diffuse some of the kickout situations for the rest of us...

No one will give a fuck. Just like in the numerous other sports that no one cares about in the olympics. It'll basically be archery. It'll be Chad Fernandez and that douchebag Greg Lutzka. My random family members will say shit like "Are you excited to see your sport be in the olympics finally? It's a long time coming." Shaun White's popularity will peak when he stars as Rocky Dennis in a re-make of Mask. Some asshole will want to interview Kevin Staab to see just what our culture is really about, and the medals will look like bagel bites....now that I think about it I might just try and qualify.

I refreshed the page quite a few times to read the different quotes, pretty funny. "What would Brian Boitano do" made me chuckle.

sorry, but you're wrong. in essence, street skating is trespassing and destruction of private property. period. no amount of x-games, olympics, dew tours, or street leagues will change that.

DERP.

No, but if we have suffer skating in the Olympics, maybe seeing real street skating might make old ladies less likely to think you are from a dysfunctional family and call the cops on you for trespassing and destroying private property.

well, to me, the skateboard culture is too much involved with artistic side than competition side. As I'm a brazilian, my opnions will be according my realities. The Olympic Games, for one hand, may give us more visibility on Tv and break some preconceptions of our society about us, but with it game, may have, too, a deviation of skateboard way, entering completily in a commercial side, in other words, without every fun.
two sides of same coin, which will be chosen, I don't know!
