We'll Defuse any Hill, Cause We Bomb Mountians:-)
It all stared back in 1969, when I and a friend came across
a skate board that was probably thrown out by someones parent.
More than likely some kid got more than what he bargain for and got
Hurt. We all know; Doctors, Hospitals Bills and frightedn parents
don't mix and they probably couldn't take the pain, the Pocket Pain.
But there it laid....on it's side....waiting....just
inviting me to take that ride....It was calling me, reaching
the very depth, of my Muskogean soul, pulling me into
taking a spin. That is when, my skating begin:-) The board was
fairly new; wood deck, steel wheels. One parents nightmare was
resolved and my obsession, evolved.
The beginning of Fun, this story has just begun:-)

BEYOLYMPICS SK8 GAMES
Greetings, my name is Jamaal Bey, founder of “The Skateboard Wizards“
Bey-Tech (a skateboard manufacturing company) and BeyBoards.com, but
let me tell you a little about myself.
I started skateboarding back in 1969. Growing up skateboarding was my life
and I loved everything about it.
That stick with wheels and hills took me to another place, a place where it
took dedication, a lot of practice and pain, but in the end, it was the
satisfaction and victory of conquering a new trick.
I’ve been in many skateboard contests and demos throughout my life. I
became a Professional skateboarder at the age of 15 and ran a skateboard
park called “SkateAway" in Nanuet in the '70's. I competed with the worlds
best, enjoyed the camaraderie of fellow skaters, but that was when
skateboarding was competitive and fun.
Now, skateboarding is still in the hand of the skaters, but it’s going in the
wrong direction. I want it to go in a more positive direction.
To me, skateboarding seems to be lost and there is no one governing body
for the sport. In fact, the Olympics discussed that they aren’t entirely sure
they want to call skateboarding a sport, they said, perhaps instead it should
be an "exhibition." An Exhibition! What?
To be more accurate, I think Tony Hawk said it right: "to tell you the truth, I
think the Olympics need skateboarding more than skateboarding needs the
Olympics."
In my opinion corporations and exclusion are really to blame. Don’t get me
wrong, corporations are good, but when corporations take over, it takes
over.
What happened to real competitions, between skaters? You know, the old
school ways of competition. Right now it looks like a horse race. It seems
like half the skaters have blinders on, and the other half knows nothing about
the true essence of skateboarding, the heart and soul of it.
Lately the discussion about skateboarding in the Olympics has changed from
should skateboarding be in the Olympics, to when will skateboarding enter
the Olympics. 2016?
I don’t know about you, but, skateboarding in the Olympics seems a long
way off. I don’t have time to wait for someone else, to take their blinders off
and take a good look at the Real Art of Skateboarding. So I’m tired,,,,, I’m
tired of seeing what I saw.
Skateboarding is Bigger than any “ ES Game of SKATE, The X-Games,
Mega Ramps and Street skating, What about the 95% of skaters who wants
to SK8.... It’s TIME.
Something has to change.
This is why I’m bringing it back to the Old School, the true school of
competition. A competition of inclusion, NOT exclusion.
I've been to many contests, demos and seen skaters on the side line,
watching others skate, while being excluded from the skate games.
So, I’ve came up with a NEW SK8 GAME concept. It’s not really new, but
we are bringing you back to the old school of skateboarding, with a new
twist, something I call “ BEYOLYMPICS SK8 GAMES “.
BEYOLYMPICS SK8 GAMES is a game that consist of 8 SK8 Games.
[1] Each skater chooses as many sk8 events he or she wants to compete in.
[2] Each event has 3 places, 1st place Gold, 2nd place Silver and 3rd
Bronze.
[3] Every skater that enters an event, scores points for that event.
[4] At the end of BEYOLYMPICS, Every skater score is added together and
the skater with the highest score of the SK8 Games, will be
BEYOLYMPICS Champion.
So there will be a Champion and two runners up.
BEYOLYMPICS MOVEMENT
1. Beyolympics are SK8 Games designed after the old school way of
competing in skateboard competition. It consist of ( 8 ) SK8 contests, with
an Olympic theme. Beyolympics Sk8 Games are competitions between
skaters in individual or team events and not countries.
2. Beyolympics was designed for inclusion, instead of exclusion . The SK8
Games were conceived to include all skaters. Now every skater can be
apart of the New SK8 games, be they rich, short or tall, skinny or big,
perfectly normal or handicapped and be from any part of the continent on
this planet,
As long as the skaters, has the will and desire to skate.
3. Beyolympism is a philosophy of SK8 life, exalting and combining talents
and skills, unifying the qualities of body, will and mind.
Blending sports with culture and education. Beyolympics seeks to create a
way of life, based on their love of skateboarding.

permanent action, carried out under the supreme authority of “ The
SkateBoard-Wizards Inc.“ of all individuals and entities who are inspired by
the values of Beyolympism. It covers the five continents. It reaches its peak
with bringing together the world’s athletes at the great festival, The
Beyolympics SK8 Games.
5. The practice of sports is a humane right. Every individual must have the
possibility of practicing sports, without discrimination of any kind and in the
Beyolympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of
friendship, solidarity and far play. The organization, administration and
management of sport must be controlled by independent sports organization.
6. Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on
grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with
belonging to the Beyolympics Movement. Belonging to Beyolympics
movement requires compliance with Beyolympics Charter and recognition by

would like to bring it to your state & town.
The SK8 Competition was made with the Olympics style of competing, which is the inclusion
