Replying to I want to put something else out there
as we can all agree, we;re stuck in a catch 22 of sorts when the topic of recruiting more kids to the twin tip scene is concerned. on the one hand, we need more people involved so the funding will be there for events, trips, packages, and if your at this point in life, jobs that dont suck. on the other, theres dealing with lift lines, gromits who suck and the fact that when sports, music and somethings in general are ruined by the mere fact that they are accepted into the main stream.
that being the situation Im thinkin about, I want to put out in the open the idea that we ALL must start taking this shit for ourselves. Keep your eyes open for opportunity and take it. meet your reps, let them know your going to run things in your area. and then do it. if we let other people do this, it will be lost. Im applying my views of punk rock, and what I'm seeing on television under the same name. the two are not one in the same. If you dont know what Im talkin about, you werent meant to. that last sentence being paraphrased from the band THE EXPLOSION.
I guess the point of my rambling is that I dont see enough of the people involved in skiing doing to much more for the sport other than participating.
please feel free to tear this post apart. I like an argument from time to time.
Keep it real
