No, I'm not ignorant, you and that other douchebag are probably the ignorant ones, cuz you can't say that progress doesnt mean anything. without progress, we would still be rubbing sticks together and waiting for a flame to magically appear on the wood. progress helps make the sport more fun, the more tricks that people come up with the more fun we can have who would have thought at the beginning that we could do sooo many things on skis, I know I didn't when I first started skiing back in the day, so to say that progress doesn't mean shit, is to be against positive change, change is good, i mean everyone from ep to sammy carlson are changing the sport everyday, and most people on here dont have the gayass attitude that you do
