Straight from the Tokyo 2020 web site.

"In the skateboarding competitions, there will be two disciplines: park and street. For the park competition, a course called a "combination pool," which contains bowls and pools in a complex combination with ramps and course bends, will be used. For the street competition, a street-like course with stairs, curbs, slopes and rails will be used. In both disciplines, skaters will be scored based on the degree of difficulty, consistency in completing tricks, the overall routine, speed and originality."


"Skateboarders are judged mainly on the degree of difficulty of tricks; however, speed and scale can make a significant difference in scores of the same trick. A routine performed within the time frame is a major factor in demonstrating the skater's characteristics and abilities. In the park competition, tricks such as high-speed sailing through the air and somersault dismounts like in gymnastics are attractions; in the street competition, tricks in which it is difficult for skaters to keep their balance, such as a skater jumping off the skateboard while rotating it intricately and jumping on it again, are considered challenging tricks. "Cool" is frequently used when praising skaters. Cool skaters who perform difficult tricks while staying calm can be potential winners.

"Tricks such as high-speed sailing through the air and somersault dismounts like in gymnastics are attractions!"

Annnnnnd they just compared the thing we love to gymnastics.

"... such as a skater jumping off the skateboard while rotating it intricately and jumping on it again"

I picture Carnie jumping off, hand flipping some ridiculous quadruple helix shit while not even letting go of the board and jumping back on dressed in that I Skateboard costume.

I'm def not a "cool skater". My potential to win just nose dived.

Kill me now. Please. X Games was bad enough. Then Street League. Now this. I mean it doesn't change skateboarding at all for me but you gotta think of the kids, man!!! The kids!!! I wanna see all you guys practicing your somersault dismounts and intricate rotationals! You wanna be cool, DON'T YOU!?! Get to work!

Desperate attempt by the Olympic committee to stay relevant. If it gets more people to enjoy skateboarding so be it...

He would be a worthy representative from our point of view.
I wonder what the qualification criteria is to take part?
True punkism is most probably the least one.
