quotes from the web:
If that's what showboarding is about then it doesn't belong in the Olympics
Showboarding is such a dopey activity
what I heard was that showboarding is being hurt by 1. newbie skiers finding "modern" skis easier and less so by 2. snowboarders getting bored and trying a real sport, skiing.
Maybe U have a point there. I was in Saas Fee, allegedly boarder friendly and there didn't seem as many as usual. Yes, lots less blades this year.
One thing I did notice this year is that there are less showboarders out there. I think its going downhill fast.
in my two trips so far this year, especially in Switzerland i was amazed by the number of "new" boarders, I'm almost sure that boarders out numbered skiiers in Flims/Laax a few weeks back...............we especially noticed the huge increase in the number of young girls boarding.
