because the FIS ruins everything it touches......and is SUPER against newschool skiing. It would be INCREDIBLE to have skiing in the olympics, but it would have the potential to ruin the competitive side of our sport.

there are a couple of reasons skiing halfpipe has not become an olympic sport. one reason is, to be qualified for the olympics, there needs to be a certain amount of countries competing. there arent enough countrys with profesional pipe skiers yet. another reason is the olympics comittee sees skiing as racing. they see snowboarding as a newschooler sport. soon, they willl come around to seeing skiing liike that too and skiing will become a part of olympics.
