I think that would be great if it did.
I'm tired of the "skateboarding culture" ... Bunch of whiney-ass kids or adults without jobs, pushing people around, demanding taxpayers build them parks, paying no attention to traffic laws.
They are considering making skateboarding an Olympic sport, do you think this will ruin the culture of skateboarding?
I personally don't think of skateboarding as a sport. I'm not against skateboarding, I feel the same way about golf, cheer leading and synchronized swimming.
No, it might make it more main stream. I think that would be great. The great thing about skateboarding is anyone with a board can do it. It keeps kids out of gangs and gives them something productive to do. I personally don't have a problem with something that encourages kids to dream big. Some of our best skaters are the ones who started out just street skating with friends, who became known after posting videos on YouTube.
On a personal note I have a bunch of young men who are skaters in my life. They are a loyal bunch who would help any one in need. I've seen them raise money for the homeless in their parks and help younger kids with skating and homework. Sure, your going to have some jerks in the bunch. But over all I've never met a kinder group of people.
they had bicycle motocross in japan so why not. When they have dominoes or poker we will have to let some players out of prison to ne on team usa
