dude, all you ski boarding dissers are idiots. the skier vs ski boarder feud is equivalent of the former (and still present) skier vs snowboarder feud. i don't think it was too long ago that is was skiers that were picked upon.
'but wait! skiboarding is gay' you might say. fuck off you idiot, look at skiing during the early 90s, then look at snowboarding. which do you think was 'gay'?
if you ask me, this goes back to psychology where it is proven that people whom are teased in childhood often will have the tendency to tease others when the opportunity presents itself.
and how many of you guys who rag on snowbladers rollerblade? aren't you a fruit booting faggot who is now a hypocrit too?
if skiers are to label skiboarders as queers, then it justifies snowboarders labeling skiers as queers. now how does that make you feel you dumb, prejudiced, stereotype absorbing jackass?
and why are you going out of your way to make somebody feel bad anyways? do you feel good when you attack other people? is what they do even relevant to what you do? no. then why bother them?
the fact of the matter is that it has been deemed socially acceptable (and even 'hip') to call skiboarders faggots even when they're just guys trying to have fun however they do. you may not agree with how they have fun, but you're just some prejudiced asshole anyways.
if you truly believe that snowsports is about personal expression however it feels natural, then you will let sleeping dogs lie. otherwise, you just might end up looking like the real faggot of the situation.
