It has?

I mean, I guess why not. Half of the winter olympics are things that could be at the winter X games. And it probably has more potential participants than equestrian or whatever the brony sport is called. Why not.

I am a skateboarder. Its fucking retarded but I can see why the Olympics are doing this (trying to appeal to the youf etc). However skateboarding is not a sport. There is no skate federation of any real authority. Skateboarding is so anti sport that we would get into fights with the chads and jocks. I hate that in the near future some pushy parent and their shits will come to my park to push their brat to win gold because some mountainjew in Switzerland wants to defile something i love for some petty cash. Fml

do you remember what year this is??? it'd be oppressive to leave any sport out

Why doesnt Austrailia just annex New Zealand?

Their flags are already identical and theyre basically the same people.

>still no squash

>Olympics so desperate to appeal to youth that they introduce angst plank

So sad

same reason we don't annex you, sport

You really want to compare militarys, leaf?

Xtreme with just a X bro

They're a few decades too late but

They want to attract newer younger fans and this is their attempt

Pop your mountain drews and play your Tony Hawkings

>DUDEWEEDLMAO: the event

you guys lost to sandniggers and jungle chinks mutliple times lol

also
>literally conquered by boxcutters
>muh military

that shit is literally already happening with the rich folk of southern california and casl contests

Lol, germany hasnt won a war ever. Hostorical fact

why not? skateboarding is done around the world and will have loads of viewers

>still no Paintball
its the one thing i'm decently good at

kinda goes against the spirit of skateboarding desu

like skateboarding is not about competitiveness

its kind of an art ( I know that sounds really gay but idaf)

when will masturbation be added? i can cum in under five minutes, i probably would get gold.

>Skateboarding is added
>MMA still not added, even though it was one of the biggest ancient olympics events

When did people become such huge pussies?

Wearing tapout gear and drinking monster is not a sport mongol

I didn't claim it was, Ahmed.

Speed Spurt is a meme event

Marathon, Distance Jizzing and Team Fill-The-Cup are where the heroes of the sport come from

Because its fuckin radical you gaylord.

>angst plank

What do you do? Besides sit on your ass all day?

The summer Olympics can use anything they can get.

Glad baseball and softball is coming back. Not many watchable events.

which country do you think would be best?

Cocks would need to be small as big dicks would be innefficient at the elite level. But they also need to be muscular, which rules out asian micropenises.

Probably south America and Central Europe

oil wrestling when?

Upboat xp

Skateboarding has been in decline since THPS UG2 came out.
X-Games also killed the informal system of competition.
The big companies became all corporate subsidiaries and said fuck off to the true spirit of skateboarding.
Skateboarding isn't what it used to be.
Nowadays everyone has their own deck company it seems for no fucking reason besides "muh graphics".
It's about to get much worse.

How did /asp/ take the news?

LOL mmafags on pooicide watch

Wtf i hate skateboarding now

something something actual wrestling

I bet you don't even skate

How retarded are you, mma is not a sport you could have a 2 week competition for

Because millenials
Isn't that the standard excuse these days?

what about shooting in its current state? any fat fuck could become gold medalist, its not a sport, motorised sport drivers is more a sport than shooting
you need to be in shape to skateboard

lets talk about archery, current bow require no strength, any fat fuck could become gold medallist, and they did

Because there is literally nothing that attracts young people

Because it somehow makes a shit ton of money.

I'm really excited for this. The only skateboarders that are against this are posers and old grumpy fucks that say
>muh hardcore trve skating!

I can't wait to see skaters from all over the world including fucking african countries

>Skateboarding allowed into the Olympics
>Skateboarding threads are now allowed on Sup Forums

What I can't figure out is why they haven't added Pro Wrestling to the Olympics yet.

It's really a greater show of endurance and strength than half of these other "sports".

Greco-Roman wrestling? Fucking pussies.
Skateboarding? Rolling around on a plank aint shit.
Baseball? Ping-pong? Walking? Not sports, sorry.

Face it, you'd love to see Brock Lesnar go up against some Chinese behemoth and drop him from the top rope.

They won the war of our hearts

you're aware that fucking figure skating is an olympic sport right

this whole thread is stupid. the average age here is probably like 22 but you have the mentalities of old men automatically against anything that's new without putting any thought into why

I know you're memeing but a pro wrestling showcase during the olympics isn't that bad of an idea

I'm lookin forward to it desu. Probably have some sick tricks

>Tony Hawk is too old to compete in the Olympics
At least he got all that vidya money

conkers when?

So tony can get a free medal

When will they make BJJ an olympic sport? This shit is so unfair,

to tap into the edgeteen market

Cheap event, most of the world practices it, attracts young people and so. If done right, it could be an interesting event (big air or vert)

Skateboarding is a sport. It requires dedication and years of training. Good cardio and not being a fatass too

das gay mane

Pro-wrestling should be an Olympic sport tbqh

Have judges score matches based on choreography and shit

CS Go should also be at the olympics

Cause choreography and shit

>theconversation.com/ollies-at-the-olympics-why-having-skateboarding-at-tokyo-2020-is-a-winning-move-63349
"street league" type contest was the first step, it's only logical

AND THEY WANTED TO CUT WRESTLING


REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

FUCKING NIGGER IOC

bc niggers, drop-outs and general lefties have more publicity than chess geniuses.

J O U S T I N G W H E N

winning olympic medals is litterally the only purpose of figure skating

hello, internet :^)

it's basically gymnastics on a piece of wood
and it takes far more skill than most of the sports in the olypmics

*lights joint
DUDE!!!!

no and no 2bh
t.skater

if we can have snowboard halfpipe then we can have skateboards too

but winter has always been for non-sports

stonerplank fags just mad their sport is becoming totally commercialized.

do you know what choreography is or what that guy was trying to say

Jesus christ that's fucking hot as fuck.

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

Next you'll tell me Olympic esports and LARPing will be a thing.
