Is there anything stylie about most fis, it should be FOIS: Free of Style....

Being Irish, I guess I should resent the Notre Dame nickname 'The Fighting Irish.' After all, how long do you think nicknames like 'The Bargaining Jews' or 'The Murdering Italians' would last? Only the Ironic Irish could be so naively honset. I get the feeling that Notre Dame came real close to naming itself 'The Fuckin Drunken, Thick-Skulled, Brawling, Short-Dicked Irish'

maybe you should specifie what event your talking about, FIS covers a lot of different events, and if your just talking about racing then yes i think racing does have its own styles, Bodie Millar has a very different style to say like Herman Mair. So yes FIS Does have style

that cat is my hero. and yeah FIS sucks. I read it on that sticker. yeah, I really don't know that much about the fis, considering I've never raced or competed in arials. But from what I've heard, they should alow different variations into the trick. the 360 mute, and dinner roll were huge in progressing the sport. I still think the arialists look sweet in the air. not to the same extent as someone pulling a switch 720 toxic. but still sweet. alright everyone, jump on the bandwagon and chant 'FIS sucks FIS sucks FIS sucks' yeah

As great as it would be to have freesking in the olympics, which could only bring greater publicity and money to our sport, it's not worth dismembering our sport over.

The FIS is notable for exploiting skiing and it's other events for money, and we do not need a group who's sole purpose is profit at the figurehead of our sport. Instead, we need someone who is a visionary, and is looking out for skiing's future.

Free Skiing, begins with 'free' , and that means free of bogus rules and regulations.

We'll see what happens.

who cares if freeskiing is in the olympics.. everyone should read the new freeskier magazines article on the new world X-Games.. the pros are gunna be split up by country.. or like continent.. like Canada is a participant but Europe is also a participant.. not individual countries.. in any case its the same idea but with X-games flair and minus FIS bullshit

Are the world x-games going to be held this winter?

If so, are they going to replace the normal competition?

How the hell can you say FIS sucks, did anyone watch the snowboard half pipe, thre were five times as many people there, compared to the x-games and us open, and millions of people watched at home on TV. Think of how much it would boost the sport of 'newschool' skiing having millions of people watch you on tv. How many of you guys/girls would say no, if you were invited onto your olympic team to compete at the halfpipe comp just because you don't like FIS. For the sake of arguement some people will just say no to be jackasses, but your out on the hill and in the park with your camera to get noticed, so whats wrong with FIS's way of world-wide recognition, it's never going wipe out the x-games or other big ski events, which aren't judged on style in case you didn't know.

Don't drink and park, accidents cause people.

why don;t you try to find your own reasons rather than listening to the pros?
