So, looks like the skateboarding industry's leaders had a summit to discuss the inclusion of skateboarding in the Olympics in 2020. No much concrete is written in the article, but it looks like drug testing is a prerequisite and it will be coming to the big contest next year:
Of course, there isn’t a lot of drug testing in skateboarding, but it could very well become part of the major contest circuit. WSF Founder Tim McFerran plans to incorporate drug testing for the upcoming Kimberley Diamond Cup in South Africa.

Even weed? Im pretty sure all the best street skaters were massive stoners at at least one point in their live

What's the dirt on this Tim McFerran idiot? Who is he, why is he? Can he take his olympic skateboarding and fuck right off? Yes please.
-
so i guess the nike team will shrink significantly then.

This might be the point where these O-limp-dicks, call their creation "competitive rollerboarding" and just do their own thing...

is weed a performance enhancing drug?

Nick Merlino off his meds tearing up Olympic Village might just be worth the rape and pillage of our culture.

Like it or not, but this dude or Gary Ream at the International Skateboarding Federation may be representing skateboarding on an Olympic stage by 2020.

His `Linkedin page says he started working with basketball until he was

Right lol. Well I guess we can't count on anyone from Baker, Flip, Deathwish, or DGK entering contests anymore (with the exception of reynolds i guess).
I can also somehow predict Prod making some kind of motivation speech on how skateboarding keeps him focus and away from drugs..blah blah that kind of crap.
-
It's not like they are saying drug testing to be a professional skateboarder, how many people that you like actually skate this contest?
Also if its anything like other professional sports, you just need to be clean during the "season"

Im assuming Nyjah likes amphetimines, from the rumors and parties, but doesn't smoke weed cuz it 'makes him tired'.
I wanna hangout with blazed P-Rod.
Maybe Pros that smoke will take the month before the contest off so they can pass the test and just train, creating a new breed of contest skaters ridding the image of clean cut Nyjah and Chaz.

Probably. They tested for it for ski and snowboard slope style when those got introduced and a lot of those guys smoke. Some famous skier wasn't allowed in because of it.

Heard there's a sliding scale based on tricks landed and how far over the .08 legal limit during "contestants performance"

I don't criticize people for taking corporate sponsors and getting money and all that, because hey get what you're worth, but quitting drugs is a bridge too far. That's what will finally make me think skateboarding has sold it's soul.

Tracer with the Ross Rebagliati reference!
Snowboarder who won gold medal the first year they had snowboarding in Olympics...was drug tested afterwards and it came back positive for THC. He was disqualified and lost his medal, but that was eventually overturned because THC wasn't on their list of banned substances (somehow, in 1998). Luckily for all those athletes who are sober, it's since been added to said list by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

I never understood the big deal about THC in sports. Its not like its a performance enhancer like steroids or something. And even if you test positive that doesn't prove that you're currently high at the moment. Could've been from a week or more prior to that. And even if you were high at the moment, what's the worst that can happen? Get the munchies? LOL

I suggest people to read the link...a lot has to do with the involvement of https://www.wada-ama.org (https://www.wada-ama.org)
Totally agenda driven...has nothing to do with our culture/sport/hobby/lifestyle/art....It's not about joining the Olympics and becoming a sport that we're so fearful of...that is what they want us to think...it's for other corporations, non-profits, and various bullshit government to profit from us...We are not going to reach enlightenment or whatever the fuck by joining the Olympics...we've already accomplished that...And all the celebrities that vouch for skating NOW, understand that, and will know skateboarding in the Olympics is just a joke to help views/ratings and sell apparel, and and opportunity to add in rules and politics. It probably will happen because of Nike. Whatever...free ride for some...

You do realize that Nyjah was raised Rasta and has been around weed his entire life, right? His mom even said that prior to Nyjah's skate career the weed sales were the family's primary income.

I think they should let jereme Rogers in street league then.

There is a banned substance list that comes out every year. As many athletes in the world of competitive sport know, it's not hard to figure out how to get around the rules.
The drugs listed in the conference actually made me laugh as it seems to say the kids that skate may be ones to have concentration problems or hyperactive problems, or are at least are in some way medicated including self medicated, NOT for performance reasons.
Everything is about parts per million and how fast things can clear the blood stream or at least be under IOC levels.
The show STATE OF PLAY on HBO has an episode all about the exciting world of pharmacology in sport. They's all cheaters!!!!
-
is weed a performance enhancing drug?
As a matter of fact it may be considered one. If it is found to increase the heart rate enough to increase oxygen flow which benefits athletes it could be considered one. That is how lame the rules can be.
-
so long as they let the cocaine slide, everything will be fine. I do hope that nyjah gets disqualified for flagrant levels of amyl-nitrate in his system. Party hard!

But because the broadcasting of the Olympics is a multi-billion dollar facet, it warrants some attention to the question: “How can you showcase skateboarding in a way that’s true to the core, but digestible for the television audience?”
You don't.
-
I have a pretty good friend who is plugged into the pro ski/snowboard scene. It's a big deal when Olympic time comes around. Those dudes have sponsorship levels that dwarf skateboarding and their sponsors want them in the Olympics. You just have to quit for a few months prior. It's tough. I don't know how this would work in skateboarding.

Skateboarding, Olympics, yuck

Skateboarding, Olympics, yuck
I agree. One of the best things about skating is that there is no way to "Win" it. It goes with the old SLAP analogy that people would rather watch Gino ollie than watch some Berrics kid 540 lazer flip. The thing is that when you bring the sports/soda/energy drink companies and their money into skating, they actually expect something from their "athletes." I can see vert or even mega ramp in the Olympics because it is more easily judged than street/park. It's going to be a strange road.
-
I'd say vert, mega and downhill longboarding would make the most sense

Skateboarding in the olympics would be a joke. For both, skateboarding and the olympics. But it would be fun too see what kind of commotion it would start when people would be wearing weed themed gear and getting tested positive for whatever.

This is the olympics bru the skaters would be wearing country themed gear, and probably have some form of head coach wearing it also.

I wonder what kind of madness and training the government formed Chinese team is undergoing in preparation for this...
-
is Monster considered a drug? because its killed way more people than weed has.
but i imagine all the street league guys could easily quit smoking for the contest, except maybe torey.
I always guessed prod smoked because of certain interviews he looks hella baked.
And surprisingly i dont think nyjah smokes, he seems hyped enough on drinking and being that guy who owns a frat house.
-
Train racing in the Olympics would be sick, as long as they used regular commuter trains.
Hawk hit the nail on the head when he said the Olympics needs skateboarding more than skateboarding needing the Olympics.
These things have become farcical these days. The next two world cups should be boycotted, for sure...
-

Doesn't mean the contest would have to accept them though, only saves them from legal prosecution. Even if marijuana became legal employers would still have the right to not hire people who can't pass a drug test. Alcohol is legal but you can't be drunk at work. Hell, nurses at a lot of hospitals can't even smoke cigarettes these days.

Don't know how big a deal it will be for street skater's alot of people won't really be captivated by it, I assume the main thing the general public will watch is vert because of the name recognition of Sean White. And the person making anti-drug speeches will clearly be Andy Mac covered with amazon stickers and advertising helmets.

just without invitation,maybe some underground ripper

I don't see how skateboarding could be an olympic sport. All the other competitions are possible because everyone no matter of their nationality everybody is skating for themselves in a pool of individual skateboarders. Like for example how would France be able to be fairly represented in the Olympics, all the french skaters that I'm aware of are incredibly talented and stylish, Puig and Bastien Salabanzi for example, but how would they compete with Bob Burnquist or Danny Way types who I'm sure would be favored in an olympic competition because of the athletic factor they incorporate into their skating? Sure I'd rather watch Lucas Puig skate any day, but that's only because I'm a skateboarder and can pick up on the nuance and style of his skating which the average Olympic viewer would not be able to pick up on because they would be looking for athletic feats. Look at ice skating in the Olympics, they treat it like some sort of sport where they analyze the athletics prowess when it's more of an art form based upon style, like dance or skateboarding. Snowboarding was easy to bring to the Olympics because it could be turned into a race or who jumped the highest/furthest competition, but skateboarding can't easily be turned into that and still be skateboarding as we know it. The mega ramps that the jock type skateboarders ride have a fixed size for how far someone can air to safely unlike snowboarding which has no limit because they're landing zone can be built into a mountain. Also many different countries and regions have different styles, how would they be able to explain that to olympic watchers who don't skate? I have a feeling if skateboarding comes to Olympics it won't even be the pros who have become known as competition skateboarders such as Lutzka, it'll just be the show of kids who no one has heard of who can do the 900. Fuck maybe I just don't know enough about how the olympics work but this would just be the America vs. Brazil showdown, and give the general populace and even worse understanding of skateboarding. I know I'm preaching to the quire here because Slappers have the same opinions on the idea of olympic skateboarding being kooky as I do, but like the idea is so shitty and absurd I had to pick it apart in a drunken rant. Goddamn fuck the very idea of Olympic skateboarding, the last thing I want is to have some yuppie try to relate to me because he saw NBC's documentary on Little Johnny Redbull's "training" routine. The good news is if my drunk ass can think of this many problems with the idea the olympic committee should too.
-
They won't be turning skateboarding into anything. How can anyone think skateboarding will become curling or anything other than what it is now?
There are judging formats for street, bowl, mega and vert right now. They have events all over the world. Those judging formats will be used in the Olympics. The groups that run these events are all going to be fighting for IOC recognition. Down hill slalom was judged in the 70's thats not hard to figure out!
When it comes time there will be contests to put together a team that will represent each country. Just as they do for other sports. Many are invited not everyone makes the team. I am sure they will have riders for every event.
Thing is it will be hard for the 200 countries to produce skaters that will be able to compete with the countries that already have a big skateboard scene. They also have to produce judges that know what they are looking at. Having a panel of all American judges will cause many to cry foul!
CUBA doesn't even have a skateshop in the entire country, all the boards are supplied by donations. There are other countries that don't have solid skateboard scenes let alone ROADS to ride on or ramps to drop in on.
On the other hand, drug testing or not, how many high profile skaters are going to say yes if invited? Does the Olympics want the guys who aren't so well known? What will the back room deals be to get guys like Danny and Bob involved? Or better yet get guys who don't do contests to do contests. Lastly.... 5 years from now Danny and Bob in the Olympics. Will they be the oldest ever to compete at the games? hahaha

if it does go the olympic route I hope for different classes, like battle, freestyle, endurance, downhill, and my personal favourite: ultra-vert. Cody Cepeda for gold in battle! Tom Schnarr for for gold in ultra-vert! Jason Dill for gold in downhill! Shane O'Neil for gold in freestyle! Kenny Anderson for gold in endurance!
D-way gets the gold in shot-put but they'll only let him have it in Russia, where the rules of shot-put are a little different. It's called brick-put and you get to throw the brick at someone who distributes propaganda. no-homo.

Do you guys think any pros have ever used PEDs? I was thinking why wouldn't they? There are no rules that say you can't like in competitive sports. So I wonder if any skaters have taken adderall, HGH, EPOs, or anything like that to film a part.

I think the chances are highly unlikely. HGH and EPO are expensive so are steroids in general. HGH is better used with other hormones, so your cost will increase dramatically. EPO only increase red blood cell count which increases the amount of oxygen you can carry to the muscle. These days with 5 min long jam formats in contests one could use the extra air. Problem being if you don't do it right your blood turns to pudding and your heart stops.
Filming a part... You can heal faster, take some heavier slams and have some bigger pop but I have yet to see an overall benefit on how it can improve your flick or your style or your ability to learn tricks.

Good points. I think adderall would be the most likely to be used if at all. It could sharpen your concentration for a short time.

If skateboarding does go into the Olympics then it will be fucked forever. The way it will head and be in every school as a routine "sport" so your country can get a medal will fuck up the way a person should get into skating and change there perception of how mskating should be. All about de winning and being the best, not about just having the best time you can have
if we let gays marry each other, who's to say uncle jimmy won't marry a sheep?? he's been spendin an awful lot of time with it...
who cares if they don't enjoy skating in the same way you do? how should skating be perceived? someone training to be the best skater still feels the thrill of accomplishment when landing a trick or the almost pants-shitting of a nearly terrible slam. they still learn from the slams they don't avoid and they learn how to persevere. skating teaches everyone in similar ways. if some kids have never heard of jason dill then who cares. the fear of some crazy jock skater generation is pretty stupid.
if you're really that scared, burn copies of eastern exposure videos or something and drop them from planes over these communist skate facilities and schools to share your influences. include some anti-nyjah propaganda to really seal the deal.

it's not that crazy of an idea. lots of things move from less popular to mainstream and change in the process. it's not really a fear so much as an observation of what's happening. and some people don't like the changes while others embrace them. there will no doubt be a generation of skaters raised by soccer mom types and that will change the culture of skateboarding. it's kind of like how a lot of "indie" bands these days are rich kids whose parents drove them to all their gigs and encouraged their music.

No one is gonna clean up skateboarding, these federations don't speak for any of us. Sure , some pros will jump through the gay little hoops they set up to compete( drug test , ect, ect ) but that won't affect how the rest of skateboarding carries on . Fuck Per Welinder and his bullshit efforts to clean up our image , skateboarding came from the gutter and will always be in the gutter.
