I can’t believe that skateboarding is an Olympic sport. I really can’t.

Congrats to the poster boy of Tokyo 2020 for helping to legitimize skateboarding as a sport in his home country. And congrats to all the sk8ers competing this year as olympians and bringing this sport to the world’s stage.

Congratulations!

I wonder how many medals Tony Hawk would've won...

San Francisco was internationally known for skateboarding, until the city killed it bit by bit. Other cities embraced it over time and built world class skate parks.

Congrats on winning a medal that will make the Nationalist Traditionalist old farts uncomfortable.

Well deserved
