Good point. I can ski and mountain bike really good, but if you put me on a soccer field I suck. I never really try though. I'm sure I could do ok. I can't play basketball to save my ass. I can run okay, but nothing special. I have endurance so I could be better than most at cross country. You're right though, Hunting Yeti and IDEA both have skiers and snowboarders riding together. In IDEA there's a segment with Fujas, Mahre, Pollard, and Pollard's wife snowboarding. In fact, it's great how supportive Pollard's wife is of his skiing and he's supportive of her snowboarding. You're right though, you can't pull someone off the soccer field tell them to leftside 360 off a 15ft. drop and expect them to ski away and shred the line. A lot of people are like, oh can you ski good? I guess. I give them a link to a really shitty vid of me skiing pow and they come to school then next day and freak out, they're like: Wow! That was ridiculous, how do you do that? It wasn't even good riding and they freak. People ask me what I ski and I'll tell them park and pow. And they're like: Just jumps right? I tell them everything. Then they say, don't lie, skiers can't do rails I'm not a dumbass, I show them a pic of me on a rail I have in my wallet and they just say photshop, then they watch a video and are like Damn! People still think snowboarding is the only cool thing. I think we actually have the X-Games to thank for skiing's rising popularity. Once skiing ends up on fuel more, kids will realize snowboarding is not that cool. I actually think skiers look a lot smoother and cleaner wherever they are. I wouldn't stress on the situation, the people will come to realize. People never would have thought of a black president but it came to be, why can't that happen in skiing.
