Replying to Why is X Games biased toward snowboarding?

There always seems to be more snowboarding events and they seem to promote snowboarding more. I'm fine with this because there's still an awesome collection of skiing events and I like watching some of the snowboarding too, but why is this?

Do they get a lot more viewers on snowboarding events than skiing?

That makes me wonder, what is the common viewer of X Games, people involved in the sports, or just normal people who happen to like watching others hucking their meat?
I guess these people might prefer to watch snowboarding.

All of this being said, X Games is one of the biggest supporters for progression in extreme sports, and I'm stoked to watch all of the stuff this week.
