Skateboarding

I think that skateboarding should not be put in the Olympics. Some people believe that in order for something to be a sport it has to be in the Olympics. That is false because skateboarding is not a sport it is a lifestyle! Skateboarders do not want skateboarding to be in the Olympics because skateboarding is not a mainstreem sport. Its not supposed to and it is not for the average kid to just learn because he wants to learn something new. You have to be literaly a skateboarder before you even start. But thats just what I think about the topic but I'm pretty sure I speak for most all true skateboarders.

  1. Jake...I have always heard the skaters' motto: Skate or Die! I don't know why skaters get such a bad rap...most skaters I know are incredibly passionate about their "sport." They care about something...unlike many kids who don't care about anything. If you've never seen the old school '80's movie "Gleaming the Cube," you have to see it...it's a skating CLASSIC!!!
