Replying to America vs. the world (rant)

if you didnt get to see the NS movement in the US ten years ago, you missed out. skiers werent allowed in the park and moguls skiing and aerials were the only acceptable methods of freestyle skiing (FIS). real freestyle skiing was actually prohibited and frowned upon. more rules from the old country, Europe had created this standard for skiing, until America broke away from their terrible shackles once again with the invention of the snowboard. The light of freedom shined again and the US was once again setting standards and doing things that were actually cool.

Now it seems we've lost our grip on things. The same things that used to make skiing stupid are returning, and it stems from Europe. In America we want style, and freedom, and pure shred. Europe wants aerials,  with no style, and someday they will issue an FIS sanctioned trick list barring any deviation from what they think proper style is. this will prove itself in the coming months of halfpipe competition skiing and the never ending road to the olympics.

lets keep america freestyle, and euro ______ the gapers.
