Mctwists are only Mctwists when you grab mute, everything else are variations of backside 5's, The girl commentating is ex UK pro Lucy Adam, presenting for the BBC , so in the heats they're not allowed to get too excited. Ask Neil Blender about the Lien airs because I reckon every one she called was correct.
I don't care what your thoughts are- as a former street and mini-ramp skater ( late 80s / early 90s ) , the fact that Skateboarding is now considered an Olympic sport is amazing !! They're all winners in my book !!
They barely know any tricks because they are paid actors with no idea how to even skate bruh. Who hires these people? Seriously get someone who knows how to skate themselves and that can give some insight on the sport.
LIPTRICKS are much harder than airs and need to be judged higher. the scoring is completely subjective on who the judges are who they know and their status in the industry. Get older pros to judge and pay them well enough to want to do it.
Lip tricks aren’t necessarily harder then airs, to blast around like pedro you have to have a deadly accurate reaction time and there is a great amount of precision that is required for them.
Now if we're talking about lip tricks in the street no I don't think they're harder at all and even in the bowl I don't think they're harder then catching air. The first couple tricks I learned were lip tricks bc they were easier to get down and built confidence in my skating. Don't get me wrong I learned the kickflip, Pogo, Casper (which is my favorite trick ever to do!) and stuff like that. But catching air is way harder and scarier to do then lip tricks any day. That's just me everybody else is different
this is exactly how I expected olympic commentating to sound like. A.I. would have more flavor. oh, and when do we start taking points OFF for another 540 and another kickflip indy? 10 seconds of everyone's run is already 100% predictable. If originality and self-expression count then please reward those who dare to skip the standards.
Could we please get rid of the commentators. They’re terrible. It just makes me want that. to mute the TV. However it would be great if we could get better people on there. It’s like they’re reading a book about something they don’t know. I’m trying to watch a sport that I ideally enjoy and it’s just ruining it for me.
Watching gnarly skateboarders with the professionalism and energy of golf commentators
I think it complements pretty well like ice and fire you know
It's essential to put the results up at the end....ESSENTIAL.
All of these guys are insanely talented. Such high level tricks done effortlessly.
The consistency is crazy too
Top elite skaters, this Olympics will be heater sessions.
Street and park Jagger is talent
Great comp. fire the announcers, they're terrible.
Yea
I think they're great, makes for a relaxing watch. Skateboard is a sport now not a drug anymore, in sports being relaxed is the key
when they had gary the normies bitched
Watch the women's semis highlights. Not sure why they couldn't get that crew to do double duty.
Indeed! Pedro Barros did a stalefish 540 and she said indy 540 :/
Antiques Roadshow presents …what used to be skateboarding
Crazy Jagger can skate street and park
I enjoy watching park skateboarding so much more than street.
The announcers didn’t even know what to call the mctwist
Everything is a lean air according the announcer lmao
Didnt look that inverted tho 🤔

I thought the same thing ... they're not calling the tricks...
Announcers sound like golf is being played...
Why is there no Vert Contest?
The announcers are brutal.
1:31 ssssssssliding around
Impressive skateboarding, once you hit mute on the monotone commentators...
I didn’t know a finger flip lien disaster was an actual trick these announcers are really knowledgeable
What if, you know, you had any other commentators? This is why the olympics have such low viewership on what should be a huge event.
Flower show level commentary

what's the meaning of a stream where you just name some of the tricks. Where are the results?
It feels like vans park series
i had to mute and put music over the commentators 'cause it was draining my soul, massacring my boyz
Where are the results? Who edits those summaries?
are the commentators an AI? Just kidding, AI can simulate emotions now.
they got a little excited when the aussie was in there
Show the scores and positions after each run
Vamoooss Danny!
Commentators have so much energy
Aussie monotones.
They barely know any tricks because they are paid actors with no idea how to even skate bruh. Who hires these people? Seriously get someone who knows how to skate themselves and that can give some insight on the sport.
They have taken skateboarding, the most fun and exciting thing ever, and made it boring. Go away and take cariuma with you
How can these monotone commentators not mention Keegans perfect eggplant revert? NNNNEEEERRRRDDDDSSSS!
Where's Sal masekela?
Who? Lol never heard of him😂😂

This feels like I am watching golf. No hype at all
or Antiques Roadshow.
i was ready to fall asleep
Nose blunt not a switch blunt
Hard to tell on that one. Didn't really see a fakie pop.
Same same
PB

Fire commentators they’re shite
