Keep Skateboarding Real; Please sign our petition to the IOC.
The push to get Olympic recognition is being made by a few industry men for their own gain if they become skateboarding’s „govering body of skateboarding“ as they call themselves.
Snowboarders tried to boycott being recognized by the IOC. They had their own snowboarder-run federation but were thrown into the ski federation. All the top pros boycotted but the young „scabs“ went for it.
Skateboarders want to maintain the culture they know and love so well. Skateboarding is not a sport.
Please sign our petition to keep skateboarding from further exploitation; the ultimate exploitation to be included in the known corrupt world of the Olympics.
