Zaturdays: Some Things I Kind of Know About Skateboarding In The Olympics

So far I’ve been to three pretty serious meetings about the state of skateboarding and the Olympics. By pretty serious I mean that Tony Hawk was in attendance. Koston and Berra were too. Dyrdek showed up. So did Jim Thiebaud, Steve Van Doren, and Paul Rodriguez. Plus a bunch of people you probably never heard of but that run skate contests in Europe, Australia, South America, Japan, China, and on and on and on.
