Only one last year, my brother. But one of my best friend is a snowboarder, and he watches more ski edits than snowboard edits. I guess it's a good thing.

A few, and a bunch of my snowboarding friends who were formerly the "FUCK SKIING" type now watch all the edits I post and talk about them more than boarding edits.

After a bunch of us were crowding around a computer in the library watching the new TC on ns last year, I saw 3 or 4 kids nearby browsing ns and watching edits in the video section after seeing what we were watching

I got a kid thats going to get into it seriously next year with me, and 2 that just had afterbangs because they looked cool to get into it so they don't look like douche bags.

And a few of the kids that I've grown up riding with have started to take it a lot more seriously, one of the three has gotten better than me on jumps actually, and the other two are getting to the point where the will try something new and get the trick by the end of the night

im not really sure that you can GET people into skiing... more like you introduce them to it..

but yeah, im with you guys on the snowboarding thing... i just show them a henrik harluat segment or something and then they usually shut the fuck up.

none, my friends are the type of snowboarders that think they are superior because their sport has Shaun white, but they have never bought or seen a single board/ski movie or watched an edit.
