Sure! But, if they fall, they should be out. - King Of Oklahoma Jul 28, 07:48 3
- You fall constantly in skateboarding. It's very difficult to land tricks, even the less difficult ones. It's why they reward people that stay on - Krusty Jul 28, 07:56 2
  - That's my point. What makes it boring is the failed tricks. That's why there's practice. Would you want multiple falls in figure skating? - King Of Oklahoma Jul 28, 08:22 1
    - Especially doing them while drinking an ocean spray big boy -- nm - rollo Jul 28, 08:35

Hell yeah! It's really difficult to do at a high level, requires lots of skill and agility. Most people can't stand and push forward. - Krusty Jul 28, 07:37
If we allow snowboarding, why not? Plus I'd love to see that crazy race they do in snowboarding on concrete to satisfy my sadism. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jul 28, 07:36 4
- Yeah! Are all of the skateboarding events artistic judged competitions? They need to add races. -- nm - Dano Jul 28, 07:42 3
  - That would be awesome. I'm not sure it's a thing people do as maintaining speed on a skateboard is much more difficult than a bike. - Krusty Jul 28, 07:53 2
    - Races might be too chaotic but a time trial format could work. Mix up the course with some downhill, some flat sections, and some obstacles. -- nm - Dano Jul 28, 07:58 1
      - For sure. They could also do straight speed races downhill with those long boards. The turns are always exciting as they put their hands down to make - Krusty Jul 28, 08:02
