Shaun White in London, campaigning for Skateboarding in Olympics

[Magic Pizza]

I'd say helmet until rat 'stache comes in, but I don't have kids.

[sigurd]

Joke?

[Liam Baker]

Wait wait wait. Another reason not to have skating in the US: The same 3 countries would always win. 1st would always be U.S, that lineup would be fucking killer. 2nd would be Australia, they've got a good thing going as well. And last would be France or something because cliche kills. So it's sort of pointless.

[Joust Ostrich]

or Canada, or Brazil... Still pointless.

Imagine if this had caught on? @ 1:48 Just picture 100 people doing this together.

Edit: Ha! I just saw this in the comments for this video (all of them are hilarious) and I have to wonder, this sounds an awful lot like HATE! she's describing...

Yes, my husband's skateboard. He doesn't have a paper route, but he does have a 10-year military career in progress and a successful side business of art for skateboards. Obviously not as awesome as a paper route.

fuck yeah, miss HATE! rules.

Hahaha!  She showed me that video, but I didn't know about the comments.  I'm blessed with a wife that totally supports skateboarding and urges me to get out there more than I already do.  We've been having a difference of opinion on helmets and skateboarding in regards to our future potential children.  Any of you Slap parents have this conversation with your spouses?

[close]

Helmets are good until you are good enough,  they give you confidence. I never wore one, but I'd make my kids.

[close]

That's kinda where we're at, and I agree, but we're also trying to figure out the whole "lead by example" thing.  Who fucking knows though, we may have kids that think skateboarding is lame.  And after constantly seeing the state of affairs we wonder if we should even be having kids.

I'm sure there are camps that can cure that.

Could somebody please just put a bullet in this fucker and make an end to all his bullshit?

Hey guys.

I was reading this wiki article on the first person to win snowboard halfpipe in the 1998 Olympics. He won gold but got disqualified for testing positive for THC (Marijuana). But he then got the decision overturned because marijuana isn't on the list of banned substances, because it isn't performance enhancing.

Just found it relevant.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Rebagliati

TL;DR - Marijuana isn't banned substance.

[Upgrayedd]

Nothing about Shawn White is relevant. Get the fuck out of here.

its definitely banned in the olympics...

If skateboarding was in the olympics, the skaters(willing to enter) would know its a banned substance and not smoke it, it wouldn't be an issue.

Homeboy White has Chris Brown on his side...

It wasn't halfpipe it was giant slalom

I was once at a meeting where an IOC rep got up and started talking about the when- not -ifs about skating in the olympics like it was a fait accompli meaning: if you don't play ball, we'll find the corniest sell out motherfucker amongst you and just call them the roots connect, it won't matter a fuck to hank and judy in Green Bay how legit the big jumps and whoop di doos are.
Every major hardgoods and shoe manu was there rapt with attention until Ian Deacon from Flip stood up and asked if it was true that Ben Johnson's lawyer was now running the dope testing for the IOC (Ben Johnson is synonymous with modern doping in track and field athletics). That kind of shitcanned things but you can bet your buns the 'big skateboarding is best skateboarding' cartel were right on it.
 Even over here in Britain the 'fully legit posse' were forming themselves into governing body/ charities (which don't govern anything or do any charitable work) just to be there with their hands out when the benificence came. God bless Baker, Flip and all the rest of them for retaining that frisson of unpalatable danger which keeps skating out for now and all those fucking background goons away from their dream of being regional selector. It's the enemy within not without we need to worry about.

Some Italian just got disqualified for THC in his urine.

Let's be honest here, everyone talks over their keyboard, but do you have any public figures you would ACTUALLY beat the shit out of? If you just saw them walking around your city and saw them enter a dimly lit alleyway sans bodyguard, who you would honestly fuck up?

I'd saw Daniel Tosh. Maybe Shaun White. It has to be someone you just dislike as a person: their soul, not just their public persona. Anybody else have a similar list?

Workaholics S03E05 "Good Mourning".  Goddam good show.

The character Blake also references skateboarding when he says "Blaker has a deathwish". 

Thank you for that image, it will now be my little under picture... thing...

[Dominic Hynard]

If we are going to have skating in the olympics. Can it at least be the death-races they do at CPH. Then we can atleast witness Busenitz destroy everyone....

I'd beat the shit out of nobody.

The only way I would be interested is if they re-purpose that gigantic tube they built for the large hadron collider into a huge, transition walled death-race course. The first one to make it around once (while dodging stray sub-atomic bits and small black holes) gets the gold medal and a signed Shaun White brand scooter device. Competitors would of course be attired in EXTREME skin tight light suits a la tron.

Morally I feel like Daniel Tosh needs an asskicking. I've only watched his show once: I just turn on the TV and he's making fun of a straight-up disabled dude. He's got some gnarly skin condition and he's just making jokes. That's something I would consider shitty in private conversation; he profits from this?

[max power]

i didn't read anything in this topic, but i'm sure some bros went though the same thing before they introduced snowboarding into the olympics. bottom line for me is, they can put it in there and i sure as shit don't give a fuck. i'll still be at some spot struggling to re-learn some shit i did eight years ago.

[AfterEight]

fuck all of you. You're so fucking core you can't see past your own bullshit. Skateboarding in the Olympics would be FUCKING AWESOME.

Think its got more chance of being in the Paralympics. Already on 4 wheels and most skaters are atleast 40% regular. Never go full person though
