The standard of the Men's skating at this Olympics was pretty low this year too.
I thought it was pretty high given that in most street videos they're edited so you only see the successful tricks. The format of street at the Olympics where riders attempt a 'best trick' meant that nearly half the attempts were failures, which isn't that fun to watch. I much prefer the park format where at you at least see some tricks even on the failed runs.
Street skating sucks anyway, bring back slalom, downhill and vert. :D

Exactly this. It took three full Olympic cycles before the better/best BMX riders in the world started to go to the Olympics.
