 i think it was so cool when nobody really knew about what all these people were doing in the terrain parks, and it was still kinda underground like skateboarding.  Now it seems almost like contest rules are defining peoples styles and its got so much media attention. I guess this is good but i miss when it was more like a rebel thing and all about style

skiing has been plenty big for a long time, dont isolate 'freeskiing' like its a different sport.

skiing will always be fun even when I'm old and gray. but you probably feel that way because of all the gangsters at the hill. because you know all the inner city ghetto kids get into freestyle skiing because it's such a cheap sport that they can afford and all the big ski hills are in the cities.

I'm stoked that its blowing up. Theres more people to ski with, look up to, insipre, and it makes it fun and every day a new experience.

If we're going to keep our resorts open, we need more people to come to them. Simply put. I'd rather have my mountain full of tons of people, than not have one open at all

skateboarding hasn't been "underground" for literally decades...
park skiing still is and probably always will be more "underground" then skateboarding

when they sell armada t-shirts at bobs
i can buy "twin tips" at wall mart
and tom wallnuts has a reality tv show

then skiing will have blown up, or atleast as much as skateboarding.
