Skateboarding in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics!

Skateboarding has become a hotly anticipated event as it becomes a part of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
For some of you, skateboarding is what "kids do for fun." However, skateboarding is one of the most popular international extreme sports, along with surfing, snowboarding, bodyboarding, and BMX, which are all part of the Olympic Games.
Check out the video to see some awesome tricks and learn just how fun skateboarding can be!
The 2020 Tokyo Olympics' Skateboarding Competition
Although the history of skateboarding varies, it is most likely that it was born around 1940 on the west coast of the United States.
Until around 1990, it was enjoyed for fun, but it later took established itself as a sport and joined the Olympic games.
There are two types of skateboarding: street and vert.
Street skating is exactly what it sounds like- skating around streets and using the natural environment as your skatepark. At the Olympics, it's essentially a small course intended to mimic that natural environment, with staircases, handrails, and more setup for the competitors to do tricks with. Competitors are judged on the number of tricks the can do in the allotted time period, as well as on the complexity of their tricks.
On the other hand, vert skating, also known as park skating uses large half-pipes, quarter-pipes, and bowls that you would see at a skatepark.
These allow the competitor to gain speed that allows them to grind for long distances, or to gain incredible height and do aerial tricks.
It might not look that hard, but being so high in the air can actually be quite nerve wracking, and they don't always land their tricks either.
Street skating might not be as fast paced, but the freestyle performances are just as impressive as their vert counterparts.
The video shows a video of a street skateboard competition starting at 0:17.
