I hate that the olymipics has become some kind of outlet for subliminal messaging for the wokey agenda. That’s a huge insult to the individuals that dedicate their lives to being the best at what they do. Not to mention the time and dedication and sacrifices that their families make in order to support them.

I’m on the fence as to if skateboarding should be an Olympic sport or not. Whilst it gets some great exposure and will attract many extra people to it. Skateboarding is not a sport. It’s an art. IMHO anyway.

I'm not a fan of the Olympics, too politicised for me but artistic events are rife. Dressage (dancing horses),synchronised swimming, ice dancing, tumbling gymnastics to name but a few. Without these "sports" it would be track and field only and over in a weekend.

Actually, I reckon that would be way better!

insult? the athletes only care about 🥇

Why not both.🤙🏽

They learn, train, land tricks and repeat.

Mo tech, mo points.

I guess so. Maybe it’s just me

I get the art thing. There was only xgames growing up 😂

I just wanna see all the kids skateboard and the Olympics has done that for Japan and probably more💜

That is true. Since Tokyo Olympics. Japan have been spamming out skateparks like there is no tomorrow. Not silly little ones either. Proper ones. If you are interested. Check out mbm skateparks on instagram. Build good skateparks and you will get good skateboarders! 👊
