The Olympic committee has not yet chosen it as an Olympic sport. There would have to be judges that could define what was the best in the sport. Since snow boarding is now part of the Olympics, it is highly likely we will see Skateboarding as part of the summer Olympics soon.

Is skateboarding a hobbey?
During my (almost) two years of skateboarding many people have asked me the same question "sport or hobby?" Here is my answer... I have skated for about 2 years and during my time as a skater many people have asked me; "is skateboarding a sport or a hobby?" I have never been able to come up with a clear answer, but this is what I think... Skateboarding originated from surfing so to, ask this question to skateboarding you must first ask about surfing. Most surfers would answer; "I do it as a hobby" but of course surfing has a large sporting industry. Most people who skate they start skating because they saw someone else skate and they started, then they learn a couple of tricks, then they watch a couple Yoruba voids, then they get really hooked on it and eventually becomes (their) sport. I started off doing it as a hobby, but now mostly i use it as transport so IBM considering getting a longbow. So in the end i say skateboarding is both its even a form of transport skateboarding is great exorcise and fun!
