Completely. They’re too ‘locked in’ to the contest circuit to give proper consideration to international affairs.
Time to disinvite some people from Simple Session?

I doubt anyone will get disinvited (aside from Russians who have already been excluded) - it’s hard enough as it is to get people to come to Estonia

They should be shunned in the same way anyone taking Russian money has been to spread Russian propaganda. Innocent people are dying.
Would they go skate a contest in Israel for the right price too?

The way many Americans parrot Irseali rubbish I wouldn’t be surprised if loads of people wouldn’t have a problem with it.

Yeah, totally. Just look at some of the brain-dead comments on this post:

Probably waved through by Trump himself and given a pardon for all past crimes.

A lot of people being like ‘but the Russian people aren’t the enemy’, which is true, but they’re not going to hang out on their own dime with two Russian homies - they’re taking part in a state sponsored event.
I hate this inane ‘keep politics out of skateboarding’ mindset these presumably adults have. They’re all mentally that Fred Armisen meme ‘I’m just a wickle baby. I just want to play skateboards.’

Just seen the winning run and I think you’re right. Why the fuck is a run with feeble kickflip, kickflip fs board one foot and 5050 back three winning Tampa 😂 Proper skatepark grom tricks

Agreed. Also, lots of his tricks were done after the 60 seconds were up. Feel like it’s penalising Rocco for not going on a victory lap after his run ended.
