Replying to Nike Chosen Contest decides not to include skiers (big surprise)

DG.3:
^sarcasm

Nike just released the winter version of their CHOSEN contest, which they had been saying all along it will include skiers. But would ya look at that! Looks like skiing has been ousted yet again.

Check the site, nothing but snowboarding. http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/chosen/en_US/?

From the Rules page: "This Contest is open only to individuals who are eighteen (18) through twenty-nine (29) years old at the time of entry and who did not purchase any equipment for the purposes of entering this Contest. Only Snowboard Crews from the below countries can participate. What is a Crew? You and at least one (1) other person, with a maximum of up to four (4) people total, are considered a Crew. One individual alone does not qualify as a Crew. Crews and Crew members may also be referred to as entrants."

This is really lame, and I actually thought they would go through with it after hyping it up over the summer (see below). But looks like they have claimed it and backed down. :(
