How skateboarders train | How Olympians Train

Skateboarding made its exciting debut at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo and immediately caught the attention of a new generation of sports fans. This fast-paced sport comprises two disciplines: street and park. While the street competitions take place in a replica of urban environments, including stairs, railings and benches, the park competitions are held in specially designed concrete pools with different heights and curves.An outstanding example of the fascination of Olympic skateboarding is the youngest medal winner, Sky Brown, who was only 13 years old at the Tokyo Games. This dynamic sport was introduced to attract younger spectators to the Olympic Games and show them that creativity, difficulty, originality and the perfect execution of tricks are the key to success.

Listen along with hosts Corbin Harris, Omar Hassan, and Amelia Brodka as they go through the men's park competition and the park best trick jam with unique insight from the skateboarders dropping in.

What happened at #Paris2024? 🛹 | Skateboarding Reviewed

So what happened at the Skateboarding competition at #Paris2024?

As skateboarding makes its second Olympic appearance following its debut in Tokyo three years ago, one trend remains clear: teenagers dominate the sport. In Paris, 11-year-old Zheng Haohao of China, the youngest Olympian, competed in the women's skateboard park event. The average age of medalists in the women's events was just 15.🤯
In contrast, the men's competitions featured veteran skaters like 49-year-old Dallas Oberholzer from South Africa and 51-year-old Andy Macdonald. Many athletes came to Paris seeking redemption after falling short in Tokyo, leading to intense competitions where the medalists were decided in the final moments.

The First Rockstar Energy Open was INSANE

The new Rockstar Energy Open brought together the next generation of skateboarders and celebrated skateboarding culture in Downtown Portland, Oregon, and we were there to take you behind the scenes and get a sense for this inaugural event.
The contest was from August 23-25, 2024. Portland’s deep roots within the skateboarding community serve as a prime location to celebrate the newly minted Rockstar Energy Open, bringing street and park competitions, live music, art installations, and more to the historic Waterfront Park in the heart of the city. We sat down with a couple of our favorite X Games athletes to talk to them about the contest, the other skaters competing, and plans to compete at X Games Chiba 2024!

The Rockstar Energy Open invited over 100 top-tier and up-and-coming street and park skateboarders on imaginative courses, built by California Skateparks, purpose-built for one goal: to display the world’s best skateboarding. Leading up to the event, street skateboarders worldwide will have the opportunity to compete with invited pros through an innovative Video Qualifying Series (VQS) hosted on ThePlatfrm.com, offering a true open invitation format. From that format, we were able to see Jake Ilardi, (a skater who qualified through the VQS) skate alongside skateboarding legends like Chris Joslin and Dashawn Jordan in the finals. It was truly a core invitational format that we and the city of Portland were eager to celebrate with the athletes competing.
