Another post about Fuel TV got me thinking. As we know, they currently air very little skiing and almost no freestyle skiing. My guess is they don't believe it's marketable--that enough people would watch a whole series to justify giving that space to skiing and not surfing, skating, snowboarding, etc.
So here is my bright idea. Firsthand gets up close and personal with one athlete's daily life. To my knowledge, it has never covered a skier. If we, as a community, could get behind one athlete for Firsthand and demonstrate that skiers are a large and engaged audience, maybe we could get one episode, and in the process, demonstrate the potential for a whole series.
Personally, I think it needs to be an athlete that shows the best of what newschool skiing has to offer. Someone with an awesome personality who will be exciting to watch for 22 minutes and slays urban and backcountry--the kind of person even a SNOWBOARDER could love.
Who's it gonna be?
