God Damn right it is...I have lost all respect for the big mountain riders who attempt to destroy the image of park/urban skiing. Would you really expect a football player to be able to play all positions? Didn't think so...but an offensive linemen is sure as shit as much a football player as a wide receiver.
The fact remains...that people such as Kristen Ulmer - i.e. those who can't slide rails or hit a jump or rock the pipe - people who are not part of the newschool movement are subconciously pissed that they aren't apart of this..because THIS is the new face of skiing..WE are the new face of skiing! So please stop trying to make up for inadequacies as a skier by hatin' on us...
