Everything is cyclic. do you even know what freesking was born out of? were you on the scene in the late 1990s and early 2000's? if so, you would understand
FIS/USSA only got into our sport when it realized that aerials and moguls was dying, i know (i coach at olympic park), because freesking has a culture that those sports had in the 1970s and 80s when it was profitable. in order to keep them on their high chairs and maintain a job, they got into our sport after TRYING TO SHUT IT DOWN FOR YEARS.
you're getting FIStfucked behind your backs.
just wait until the day when FREEskiing is no longer free, when you have to escape to only hitting urban and backcountry because the parks are closed to you unless you are:
a) a professional/olympic hopefuly
b) in a ski academy
c) ussa member
just like how mogul courses became and aerials jumps. the public cant do these things. The day when all tricks have to be "qualified" and taking out the element of surprise and freedom. That is not a sport i helped create nor want to be a part of. I'll be the guy competing in their comps with a "FIStfucked" shirt this season, just watch it.
