Confession: I'm Olympics-obsessed this week, and it's coming at the expense of my illustrious action sports blogging career. Thankfully NBC just gave me a gift: Apparently swimmer Ryan Lochte is a skateboarder. He's been seen skating around the Olympic village. NBC mentions something about his skateboarding every time his name comes up, and they've now shown some lifestyle footage of him cruising around on a longboard and even busting some tricks on a popsicle stick.

Two other Olympic observations: 1) I'm sort of glad the push to get skateboarding in has derailed. 2) I'm stoked for the BMX Supercross race.
