Now that the OLYPMICS are over, planning hs begun for the 2012 games. Will skateboarding become an Olympic Sport??Apparently it has been under consideration for awhile and the decision will be made soon. What do you think of this? If skateboarding becomes an Olympic sport, will that make it less fun and more about having to do all the "right" moves to enjoy the sport or gain recognition? OR.....will credibility be given to a sport sometimes overlooked as just something kids do in their spare time. Let Somatic know what you think. You can e-mail your ideas to us at info@somaticsunglasses.com and you might SEE them on Somatic's website.
