These dudes are going to be the rockstars of the olympics. Put any of these cookie cutter contest skaters up against say the guys swimming 100m freestyle and they look like Boulala at the height of his drug addiction.

I don't think we understand how much skating will blow up after this fuckery.

I am interested in seeing how they would integrate, how the live crowd would react, if there would be any cross-sport beef going down (eg: skaters vs cross cuntry folk) etc.

It's going to be Skater Dater, Back to the Future, Police Academy 4, THPS, and a 900... times 10.

 :P edit for maths pedants (Skater Dater + Back to the Future + Police Academy 4 + THPS + a 900) x10

Hey, hey, hey. Don't be mean. We don't have to be mean because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Australia - Shane O'neil Tommy Fynn... Apparently

I read somewhere that Australia already gave Shane medal incentive.

I'll also mention for those commenting on how a lot of countries don't have pro skateboarders of the caliber we see and know through skateboarding competition, not every country is guaranteed to have a rider in these comps, it still goes on world rankings from official events (VPS & Street League), yet their will be maximum amounts each country will have so it may filter down the ranks a bit as the countries meet their quota's, but not far enough that johnny kick-turn ends up against Nyjah or Pedro.

Only the host country is guaranteed 1 spot for the competition
being in the actual olympic contest is like making the final contest in a series of contests. Like making it to Shanghai in Vans Park Series, or the last street league contest. only the riders that qualify will be in the actual televised olympic contest. everyone can compete for a spot in the main event by doing well in the qualifying events. in the mens contest its possible that not very many different countries will be represented. the womens contest might get weird tho...In olympic women's snowboarding there aren't a ton of contestants. They have qualifying contests all over the world. top 30 contestants qualify for the olympics. some of the qualifying contests only had 28 contestants. Some girl went to all the qualifying events, made the olympic halfpipe contest, and all she could do was basic airs while the real pro chicks were tossing 1080s... In women's skateboarding most of the girls are American. once those slots fill up who knows who might make the contest.

Jollyoli - I agree with you and fully appreciate your multi-generational pop culture boom points, just couldn’t resist a Dad/math joke.

Puerto Rico Manny Santiago

He's a regular on the contest circuit and could honestly bring some heat. I'd back him getting internationally flying tomato famous.

That Pedro Barros clip was so cringey

Who are you fooling dude.. in the red bull hat skating at the olympics

Also lol at any of the skaters "failing" a drug test or some other anti brand activity, that ain't gonna happen
