What was the bit about lying down in the middle of the road?
Fuck it, over it.

Just going in on the men’s street final which I wasn’t going to watch until I saw the women’s, which was excellent.
It’s nowhere near as good. The American dickheads with EarPods killed the vibe. Nyjah getting his EDM groove on between tricks is utterly repugnant.
Vincent Milou and Yuto made it worthwhile though. Respect to all the other skaters too they kept it pretty classy. But Jagger and Nyjah fucking hell.

Jagger mugging to the camera and flashing his shit heart supply boards was really embarrassing

That’s the best thing I’ve seen from the Olympics. Alexis is hands down the winner 😂

Brilliant. Reminded me of Dylan Reider at street league.

Can’t see how he really believes that. Lack of commitment when you’re chucking yourself down stair sets over and over again? I mean, I’ve run 100m loads of times, it’s a piece of piss. For the bus and that. Easy peasy.

Councils holding back on acceptance because they’re against street skating

I guess he means it’s not something you train for?
Actually no. No idea what he’s on about there. Boys had a mare.

Nigel had his own training facility at like 10 years old didn’t he?
I dunno. Seems like an imbecilic comment from an educated person especially if he’s actually watched a slow mo of a 270 nollie nose slide down 15 stairs and presumably said “ah yeah, couple of warm ups and I could do that no probs”

Anything done well looks easy. Doesnt mean it is. The same people that say Archery is just pulling your arm back and aiming for the middle, diving is just jumping in whats the big deal.

ha ha.
Yeah, that Andy Burnham is completely daft.
Isn’t Greystones - the Olympic facility - in Manchester? They should get him down there to prove him wrong.
Do something kinda like that episode of Louis Theroux where he asks a gym full of wrestlers if it is fake…
Paging @LA

Just watching the mountain biking, it looks an utterly brutal course!
