Alright lets start with the fact that skiing is huge. I mean theres a whole industry, teams, outerwear you name it weve got it. But Really what we need is respect people get shit for skiing and not snowboarding. Shove it right back and tell the you freestyle who cares SnowBoarding is dope but so is skiing it could be on tv alot more to!

If your reading this and your a cult leader or creator post something that'll get attention for skiing on tv maybe it'll go somewhere

snowboarding actually think that we're sick in jumps, that our grabs are very stylish. In quebec, I'd say that we've cross the point where there is more skiers than snowboarders. Globally, I can't really say, but we have all the respect we deserve. We took OUR place.

We got the respect but now we need the publicity. I was watching the jiberish edit in school today and people started crowding around going "whoa they're doing snowboard tricks on skis. i didn't know you could do that. thats cool" I think being in x games and the dew tour is a big step forward, but we still have a very little well known sport.

summary:
Spread the word!!!!!!

most of the kids that hate on skiing are cocky football players at my school usually. and other kids say that snowboardings cooler until they see pics of freestyle skiers and then they change their minds. ;)

Very true but not all snowboarders are like that. if a snowboarder respects me as a skier ill respect him. if a snowboarder is be a douche monkey then i wont respect him.

do you know what i hate? when i go to a "snowboard/sports store" and say to the guy, you guys should have some ski stuff to increase sales. he tells me skiing wont attract anybody because no one really skis anymore and its like they never go to a mountain to see skiers rip.... like wtf??

i have a snowboarding friend who watches about as many skiing vids as me and is super chill but on the other hand, i know a guy (douche) who can do 720s, 450 outs but is a total dick because ''i cant do more than a 540''.  i think that freeskiing has found its place in my area but the people arent always as chill as they should be.
