How is there NO DEBATE, or RANT about this?

Is there anybody out there?

I mean there was one thread: https://newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/689745/

I just don't think people, especially here on NS, care about contests so much...

You mean they do not care about exposure, or having a park session be on National TV on a Sunday afternoon.

Not in the slightest. Exposure is what brings more gapers into the park.

we all know that, but you have to sacrifice a gaperdom for some other things.

its just sick that for dew tour and xgames we get to see the true nikkas shred gnarly courses. and the true playuhs like edollar that dont sell out do sick shit. same with chris logan, he does bio 12 in a comp run, who else does that. im pissed there is only 1 stop this year

If I see you in public, I will slap you for writing 'nikkas' and 'playuhs'. Please, for the love of god and all things holy, take a running leap in front of a speeding bus.

Creators of the dew tour are now focusing on a new Tour with red bull. Details will probably be announced probably within the season... hype

You should probably take your own advice and dome yourself on a bus as well.

whats more ridiculous that only having one stop is that when you get to that stop it is nearly impossible to watch the event, skiing is a perfect spectator sport and needs to be accessible as one if outsiders are going to keep pumping money into it to keep it alive

It seemed impossible to watch regardless. Wasn't skiing always televised at like 3am or really weird times?

I think the worst part about it is how they got rid of open qualifiers.

some decrepid monarch that cannot ski is probably the cause of this.

Yeah this is what Bishops rant was about. Sure if skiing had more mainstream coverage, we might have more 'gapers' coming into the sport, but at the end of the day they need to buy gear, passes and so forth, and that really helps support the industry as a whole. Also brings down the cost of gear for everyone else.
