I've lived in California L.A./Orange County my entire life, and my mother's family is from Summit N.J., so been to NY too many times to count. Breakdancing? Who? Where? Didn't it end around the time Fresh Prince of Bel Air went off the air? Maybe they meant Hip-Hop.......? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is HUGE down here where we are vacationing. Every 55+ community has a pickleball court. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traverbanking Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The IOC is always concerned about the total number of athletes participating in a particular Olympic Games. All athletes have to be taken care in the Olympic village with dorm rooms and meals for the two-week duration of the Games. Currently, the team sport with the largest number of athletes per team allowed is ice hockey (20 members). Drum corps upper limit is 150 x the number of countries. Ain't gonna happen.

Exactly. Not many people know about drum corps, but it still thrives. Not many people think break dancing still goes on, but it thrives.

Sun River 55+ community https://www.pickleballchannel.com/Aerial-SunRiver-St-George Little Valley in St. George https://vimeo.com/210283403 Plus, other courts throughout the St. G area. I watched some guys in their 40's playing once. They stood on the inside line hitting it back and forth waiting for someone to make a mistake. Very little movement for 20 seconds or so. I think their ratings were 4.5. If I were to play, it would have to be singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Nankervis needs to get on that and make it happen. Pronto. And after that, Drum Corps. Start it off as an exhibition and by 2028 in Los Angeles a full-blown event. Who knew Breakdancing was still a thing? You want Olympic judging? Aren’t there enough complaints about judging now? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
