its a debate, i know it is. call it what you will but lots of people definitely want skiing to remain "core". i figured out the only way to success thouhg. to be core, one must be underground and unknown, because if youre too popular you get played and are therefore not core. to be underground you must have a small following, and what better way could one go about that than be complete failure. if you totally blow it before you even get off the ground, no one will ever give a shit. therefore, to be truly core, skiing must fail dismally. so everyone out there... just quit, or take up that red bull downhill ice skating or some shit. then you, and skiing, will be truly core.
