Hey NS, I started a petition on Change.org to stop the decision to combine Olympic judges for skiing and snowboarding. You have probably heard of all this and I know many are appalled by this decision. Although not set in stone, we need to show the International Skiing Federation and the International Olympic Committee that we do not want this. Please sign this petition here (not sure if clickable because on mobile, +k for anyone who will do it): http://www.change.org/petitions/freestyle-skiing-coordinator-end-fis-ioc-decision-to-integrate-freeski-snowboard-judges-onto-one-panel Also wondering if an admin could make this a sticky so everyone could see it. Thanks guys!

It sucks that FIS has so much control but it doesn't really matter. I'm going to watch the Olympics the same way I watch the X-games, not giving a fuck who wins. People are going to be angry whether it's a ski judge or not.

Thousands upon thousands voted for Wallisch in a poll that didn't really even matter.

We better see more than those numbers signing this poll!

Signed, it's a little absurd that the freestyle aspect of skiing is viewed this way by the older generation

Any snowboarder forum that this can be posted on? I am sure they do not want ski judges, the feelings are mutual in this situation and we have an entirely separate community that would be on board
