I feel like freestyle flat ground is a perfect analog to other types of events that already that exist in the Olympics. It's weird that they took street that's all style and vibes instead of the older style of competition that is literally modeled after Olympic figure skating and gymnast routines.
Not dissing, but Sheckler/ Nyjah ushered in the "Dad/Coach" vibe...... BUT what do we think about the influx of Asian skaters?? Do we have any energy for them??
I grew up skating in the 90s when it was still a fringe activity that was looked down upon. If you skated you were considered a dirty troublemaker. We got our assed kicked for being skaters. There are now two streams of skating: the crusty punk skaters, and the competition skaters. The crusties made rebel skateboarding their whole personality and they feel their identity is threatened by mainstream competition skateboarding.
Back in like 2010, there was a parkDad at my local park and while was just doin my shit, the guy was yelling at his kid saying "SEE HIM(about me), YOU GOTTA DO IT LIKE HIM!!" ....and I was instantly over that session. The people close to me didnt even believe when I said that because they treat me like a lazy piece of shit and never saw my drive
these days things are way different. if you dont force your kids to do things they MIGHT enjoy they definitely will just sit on their phone and never experience it. you almost have to force them to do things until they are competent and have fun with it, or they will just always revert back to drooling over their phone. and if you take the phone away, you 100% are now the villain
how about dont buy them a screen to get glued on at age 4.... play with the kid outside show them what life is before they know theres screens to waste life on and they will pick to have a life not screens 24/7
@@AustinWilsonGlass ok then they are alienated by every other kid who has one. you dont get it and you wont until you have kids. you get tired of trying to explain, they dont care, wont listen, and the moment they are back at school they are swept back into that world, and like I said if you are the reason they dont have a phone, you are the villain so good luck trying to enjoy free time with them
I know you think it’s as simple as “my way or the highway” but things don’t work that way. And unless you got money for private school trust that you are going to make som compromises about what’s popular, so that you kid doesn’t stand out from the rest and can be comfortable, rather than you always getting your way
Clay wouldve washed the floor with everyone. If clay has 1 fan it is me, if clay has no fans i have died, if the world is against clay, i am against the world
Love the show, but honest question how long do those shitty Skull candy headphones last. Maybe 4,5 months then the inside starts fucking out. Just my personal experience with skull candy headphones.
If this is sarcasm, then you need to travel more. When you get shipped around to strange places and environments, having someone to talk to can save your sanity. I know this because I didn’t know anyone when I joined the Army. You think you know anxiety? Bruh 😂
Olympics skateboarding is not a real representation of skateboarding imo its just a watered down contest of skating n puts friends against each other with no real reason to win. This medals r trash why even bother doing the crap they expect to b judged so harshley n no real reward imo
f the olympics lets do away with this tradition, we aint had nothing but 2 world wars since it start now we are on the verge of a 3rd? get rid of this institutionalized competition between nations
Gotta respect that
Olympics need skateboarding, skateboarding dont need olympics!
I mean... the olympics have been around for more than a century. I think they'll do just fine without skateboarding too
You got that from.someone else
biggest dichotomy of the olympics is how you cant use pot to participate but snoop dog gets the lead host pop star cameo.
You forgot to mention Snoop Dogg MURDERED someone also! Clown World 🤡
RIGHT!!! A bunch of hypocrits
I dont like skateboarding in the Olympics. Just my opinion
Same here
No one does

@@drren1229 out of all skateboarding freestyle would most definitely be the most fitting for the Olympics
@@drren1229if no body was excited by seeing people do shit on a pretty big course what makes you think flat ground is gonna translate?
Much respect.
nailed it
Weed before glory= Legend Status
i agree with Clay

Nyjah.
Weedmaps for Olympics. That's cheating.
I skate but my son isn't really into it he likes soccer. Can't force him to skate.
Street competition is one the Olympics is way too political for core skateboarding
