bmx Olympic

It's not a "team" sport i guess? IT's not classy?
I'm happy enough racing is in the olympics

Because you touch yourself at night.

Still, it is a sport that requires coordination and finesse along with the hours of practice to get one easy trick in.

Because out of touch old farts belong to the IOC. Even worse, they must be getting senile: say what you will about wrestling, I'm not a fan of it, but they dropped it and it's the original Olympic sport. Hey, we have the X-Games etc. at least. I heard scootering is gonna be featured as an exhibition in 2016 though. J/K

But even scootering is actually hard, I don't like em, but still got to.give some respect. They should at least get an x-games event.

I wouldn't know. My son has a scooter that he got a few years ago but it just sits in the garage and collects dust. He races BMX and also has a 18" street/park bike that he rides everyday. He prefers riding BMX everyday and I have had no negative comments to him about scootering. There really isn't a scooter scene here though because all the kids ride skateboards here unless they are under 7 years old...my son being the exception since he doesn't skate.

Being able to tailwhip on a scooter is the equivalent to bunnyhopping up a curb on a bike haha, that's how easy it is. but you are right though. Friend of mine who rides a bike now, used to shred the fuck out of a scooter. people can hate all they want, but he's done some things on his scooter that some people wouldn't do on a bike, let alone a scooter. I have respect for the scooter riders who aren't 8 years old and get in the fuckin way all the time, a few are actually pretty chill. Keyword "few".

Probably sobriety issues

It's all about the money, what will get the most views ect.
