Just 15 Hilarious Tweets About Skateboarding At The Olympics
Beloved readers, as you all know, skateboarding has made its official debut at the Tokyo Olympics.
The sport features two disciplines: park and street. The former competition takes place on a skate park, which comprises a large bowl featuring curves and ramps. Park skateboarding sees high-altitude jumps, given the bowl's near-vertical sides.
On the other hand, street skateboarding features elements with (you guessed it) street-like obstacles, such as benches, rails, steps, curbs, and more off which athletes perform their tricks.
Most of us may not know too much about the high-intensity yet somehow also laid-back sport, and we're just here for the fun of it. Oh, and the sick outfits and equally sick athletes.
And also moments like this — which are just absolutely wild to behold by someone (like me) who can barely hold their own on a Penny board.
Without further ado, here are some of the funniest reactions to skateboarding's debut at the Olympics, for your viewing pleasure:
