why? it's not like it's going to ruin your skiing experience when you're at silverton for the day. You know, there are a million places to build a slopestyle course, and yet Red Bull is doing on in the middle of a town, and there's only love for that... I don't see how you can justifiably hate the halfpipe. and say the sluff goes into the tranny - just reshape it, no biggie.
and as for shawn white - can you please tell me what your definition of a sell out is, and after that tell me that if you were as successful as Mr. White you wouldn't go for it either. I mean, why the fuck not? I could debate with you that as soon as you are a sponsored skier, you have just sold out. If you like skiing powder but your sponsors want you to enter a certain competition on a certain date, but it happens to be one of the most epic pow days ever... I think we're both smart enough to know that you have to enter that competition - and as soon as you do, you're selling out my friend.
