I think they were more talking about how it's always been a huge part of counter culture all around the world, and in times past if you were a skater you were just seen as a delinquent
I would say most sports are lifestyles. At least if you're an athlete. Maybe not poker, or chess. But any sport that requires you to be in peak physical shape, is all about lifestyle.
@@joeybaseball7352 well actually a healthy lifestyle and exercise affects your mental cognition, so any sport (esports, chess etc) do benefit from exercise. Aint that cool
Can anyone explain why Mario McCoy and Jamie Foy are not competing at the Olympics? I cant find anything online and I thought they were on the team and competing?
Nice to see skateboarding being added. 😁 I admit I'm surprised it took this long- I would have thought it would have been added yrs ago, back when Tony Hawk and the X games were big names.
Will there be a downhill luge or a hill bomb/race competition or flatland freestyle in the Olympics? Anyone remember when xgames had that stuff? There's more to skateboarding than riding on/off ramps and stairs.
I seriously can't believe my eyes. I thought this was fake news omg this is such a beautiful thing 😍 I hope I see Tony hawk and the old school skaters there competing 😍
It's going to come down to the U.S, Brazil, Australia, and Japan. U.S will win Gold, Brazil will win Silver, and Japan will win Bronze. You saw it here first.

Jennifer Godstrey you are correct. Skateboarding is not diverse. At least not in America. And unfortunately, that's the image they have. And that's what's holding it back. I have tried to urge the world skateboarding federation to make skateboarding more diverse in America. I feel they had a huge opportunity in the 90's to present skateboarding to other cultures, the way tennis and golf did. As the 90's was a time of great prosperity. There was even an episode of reading rainbow all about skateboarding. But they never did. It's really a shame because skateboarding is quite diverse in other parts of the world, but in America, it's almost exclusively white.
Bhaak Saala cricket is typically too long to be practically held at the Olympics, seems to be the reasoning. I think that it will be added someday soon, though, with some new shorter format (T10?)
Kiryienka A t-20 format game takes about 3 hrs to finish so that format could be added in the olympics. You just can't isolate a game which is being played and watched by more than 2 billion people around the world from the Olympics.

Being told to reevaluate a silly throw-away comment by people who assume drugs refers to cannabis disheartens me. You can expand your mental horizons through research or consumption of a plethora of various substances, preferably both. Remember kids, read up on the side-effects and assess the health factors, be they deleterious or beneficial. Do drugs responsibly.
They should have scooter kids as a specail obstacle in the course you have to try and dodge
LMAO
hahahaha and angry scooter mums
Bro I'm loosen full right now bwahahaha!!!!!
🤣🤣lol
Hah!
The Olympics needs skateboarding, not the other way round 😂
Very true!
🤣🤣🤣🤣true that
word, we need them to remember this.
So excited for TOKYO2020!!
This aged well....
*2021
Getting a very 2000-era vibe from this video.
Good luck with the drug testing.
Craig Terris 😂
For what? Cannabinoids?
@@joeybaseball7352 you're kidding right lmao
@@since4everrr r/woooosh
weed ain't no drug
If Rodney Mullen competed you might as well just give him the gold medal straight away...
Scott King no he wouldn’t man unless it was frestyling
Scott King agreed
Hes old y'all have no idea of the new talent thats out there
Maybe if it was a 1980s freestyle contest but it probably won't be that.
Looks like the Olympics might be giving the X Games a run for their money.
West Coast Emerald Bull nah, because only a few people from each culture. X games you can have all the best rather than the best from each country
x games every couple of months
Olympics every four years
.
Love it. Keeping the games fresh.
Luan Oliveira needs to do this to put skateboarding on the map. He'll kill the whole competition
*Took them long enough.* (Also, aren't most sports "lifestyles"?)

"I love skateboarding so much that i want it do die!"
Looking forward to the skateboarding event in Tokyo Olympics 2020
I'd like to see Tony Hawk here skateboarding. 🤣
0:38 on the left, there is a legend....
How will the event work?
Good question.
from the research ive done on it, it looks like it's gonna be pretty much like x games and street league. there will be a Street and Vert
Not vert but 'park' - so like the Vans Park Series events.
Josh Sanchez slalom
Prob a park contest and a vert contest
Can anyone explain why Mario McCoy and Jamie Foy are not competing at
the Olympics? I cant find anything online and I thought they were on the
team and competing?
scooter kids, will they make it in?
it better go Olympics this is jim mann 15years ago i was on tactics board shop this should of happend a long time ago

Fukushima 2020:Cs-137 Olympic games
isn't the guy on the left of Leticia the old owner of woodward
Yo it’s Gary from Woodward
Will there be a downhill luge or a hill bomb/race competition or flatland freestyle in the Olympics? Anyone remember when xgames had that stuff? There's more to skateboarding than riding on/off ramps and stairs.
they should add Futsal and Beach Soccer too.
Lol the Brazilians are gonna win especially if Bob Burnquist is on the team 🤣😄😃😅
sabre norris yeah
FREEGARD YOUTUBING I am also looking forward to sky brown
Haha let's get the Olympics committee to get a megaramp in
I am fan of india
Really wish Sabre Norris could be in the olympics 2020...
These days skateboarding is all mutual. Soin its going to be a race between countrys and extremely competition oriented.
Oh yeah now it is with Skateboarding and it should be both Street and Big Air or half pipe!
Downhill Longboarding?
What about rugby, netball , cricket??
Rugby sevens is already a thing
Ha,scooter kids are watching this and remembering why were they born to be a scooter kid
It will be good for Olympics and for skateboarding!
wrong. it will b good 4 the olympics and for those who make money from skateboarding. popularity goes up and the sk8parx are overcrowded
Bring teamgym to the olympics!
Where's my downhill longboarding 🙂
anyone can do that
Pongan subtítulos en español
Who will represent team USA?
All this will be is Street league/xgames with Olympic logos.
I wonder if helmets are going to be obligatory
Anyone understand the heck that dude was sayin?
i didn't understand a word the guy in the suit was saying
Yay Skateboarding Sport in the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020❗️😲😃😍🤩😎
I seriously can't believe my eyes. I thought this was fake news omg this is such a beautiful thing 😍 I hope I see Tony hawk and the old school skaters there competing 😍
Tony Hawk at 50? I doubt it.
It's going to come down to the U.S, Brazil, Australia, and Japan. U.S will win Gold, Brazil will win Silver, and Japan will win Bronze. You saw it here first.
Brazil gold
wait for me .. i will join will use the TABLA
Build a park at pireus greece
I think of 2020 Olympics skateboarding as an extension of SLS except your representating a "country"...so i dont know what the hullabaloo is about.
I don't understand what the bald guy is saying
He was just saying that Skateboardinhos are way better than scooter kidinhos
ОМГ. Я в шоке
with skate at olympics REST IN PIECE Xgames
Espero a tony hawk
WHERE'S SHA CARA RICHARDSON?🤑nJOSH
idk about this
invest. NOW.
word up
The boomers who are saying this shouldn’t be here- Think of skateboarding as cycling during your time
Renzi pt2
Wow

The problem with skateboarding, is that there's virtually no diversity. When you think skateboarding, you think angsty white boy living in the suburbs, who listens to punk music.
stereotypes much
The problem is people who talk about things they know nothing about.

Makes me feel sad
Does this mean skaters are jocks now?
nice
Park or street !!!!!!!!!
Add tricking.
What?
Guys don’t go the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo
just why
Why cricket which is the 2nd most popular game on Earth isn't a part of Olympics???
Bhaak Saala cricket is typically too long to be practically held at the Olympics, seems to be the reasoning. I think that it will be added someday soon, though, with some new shorter format (T10?)

Cricket isn't the 2nd most popular game. That would be basketball.

I hpe skating wont get competetive based now
Skate is not sport
i hope airsoft and bb gun battles become an olympic sport in 2020
so the public will see bums and total losers playing with kiddie boards. big deal just go to skid row and see the same
Any skater who passes the Olympic drug tests is a disgrace. If they want to market it as a lifestyle, make them regret it.
dougalsii you know they only care about PEDs right? If they dqd everyone for THC there’d be significantly less athletes in every sport.
I really hope Duane peters and Salba show up and start spitting at all the Kooks during the bowl runs again.
G R A S S W I Z A R D lmao
Stupid comment. No skateboarder is obligated to smoke weed you need to reevaluate.

They should probably wear helmets in front of such a large audience. You might be made fun of for wearing a helmet but it’s better than dying
ooo look at my nike SB sticker on my board. sellouts
how is that selling out
nobody wants to watch street style just show the vert and mega ramp
Shish.
wack!
Cringy
First
Skateboarding is not a sport
It’s a lifestyle also a extreme sport
I guess my knees didn't get the memo. It's a full contact nut defying sport.
kiddyboarding is so trailer trash, Olympics is stooping low. Should have gone electric instead
I hope your joking dude, let me see you do anything other than ride forward on one of those glorified hoverboards.
