Replying to Stop copying snowboarders.

I know i have posted this before but when i posted the thread i obviously wasn't idiotproof enough in my speech.

ANyways. We need to stop copying snowboarders. Don't get me wrong... it's good to take inspiration from other sports. I hear way to many people on this site talking about how skiing is way behind snowboarding. It's not. Skiers do bigger jumps, bigger cliffs, ski tougher lines and do more tricks in the park. I hear people saying we need to be more like snowboarding. In some ways we do... snowboarders have mad style and are better at rails. but is that any reason to idolize them and focus our skiing around them.

We need to stop copying snowboarders and move on. Think about skiing and how we can make skiing better, not how we can be more like snowboarders. Snowboarders have run outta tricks and i don't want skiers to suffer the same fate.

Anyways i just think we need to think more away from snowboarding and more towards skiing. snowboardings great and all but i think we've taken enough from their sport.
