8/5/2024 |  The 49-year-old skateboarder who crossed paths with dragons on 4-wheeled odyssey to 2024 Olympics (Associated Press (AP)) PARIS (AP) — Of the 10,500 athletes at the Paris Olympics, skateboarder Dallas Oberholzer is surely the only one to have crossed paths with dragons on his four-wheeled round-the-world odyssey to the 2024 Games.
The 49-year-old from South Africa had to go to the jungles of Peru to find them. There, under a shaman’s watchful eye, the grizzled traveler who also competed at the Tokyo Games that marked skateboarding’s Olympic debut, placing last in the men’s park event, tapped into the psychedelic powers of ayahuasca, a plant-based brew that indigenous peoples in Latin America have long used for healing and rituals.
7/31/2024 |  There Skateboards’ First Nike SB Dunk Low Sneaker Brings a Spotlight to Queer and Trans Skaters (Footwear News) There, the California-based skateboarding brand co-founded by artist Jeffrey Chung, is getting its first collaboration with Nike SB.
The There x Nike SB Dunk Low features the artwork of Cheung and begins its rollout this week. The black and green sneaker makes use of two-tone hairy suede, as Cheung’s “ultra-humanized” figures decorate the faded black overlays. Plain black hairy suede then forms the shoe’s uperlays, while green is used for the leather Swoosh, sockliner and outsole. Another of Cheung’s figures is printed onto the outsole and centered upon the forefoot’s pivot point, and additional figures form mismatched metal lace dubraes. Hand-drawn branding appears on the tongue and heels, and the insole is also decorated with Cheung’s artwork. 
7/29/2024 |  Paris Notebook: For love of women's skateboarding (AXIOS Sports) Sunday's women's skateboarding competition in Paris represented the future of the Olympic Games, in more ways than one.
The big picture: Skateboarding, now in its second Olympics, is part of a concerted effort by organizers to make the Olympic Games younger, more diverse and more urban.
My thought bubble: I first fell in love with women's skateboarding covering the event in Tokyo, admiring the way these athletes — some girls as young as 12 or 13 — competed so fiercely while at the same time being incredibly supportive of their rivals.
7/22/2024 |  Skateboarding's reputation does a 180 as it rolls into Paris (Reuters Sports) LOS ANGELES, July 22 (Reuters) - Once viewed as the pastime of deadbeats and drifters, skateboarding's reputation is changing rapidly after its inclusion in the Olympics Games in Tokyo three years ago.
The sport brought in a much-needed younger audience on its Olympic debut in 2021, leading organisers to lock it in for the Paris Games and its homecoming party in Los Angeles in 2028.
7/11/2024 |  Youth must be served: skaters set to shred Paris parks and streets (Reuters Sports) NEW YORK, July 11 (Reuters) - Skateboarding will have some of the youngest competitors at the Paris Olympics but it has already taught some of the more established sports a trick or two, earning a permanent place on the programme and giving the Games a much-needed makeover.
Skateboarding - along with surfing, its fellow Olympic newcomer in Tokyo - boosted the COVID-delayed Tokyo Games' viewership as brands scrambled to capture a share of the sport's youthful fan base.
