Ha . . this reminds me of snowboarding, where us older shreds have a phrase "Snowboarding . . .it was better when the hated us" . . . snowboarding has been pimped out and prostituted to shit now, hell Shaun White has a clothing range at Target, thats like Super Ted having his own "Fixie by George" range at Asda!
At the end of the day does it really matter? No . . . hell next year half of hoxton will be probably be going round on rollerblades, ononelangster will be leading the freestyle unicycle scene, and Pistanator will have a Don Walker frame . . .
I can only speak of Norway but, the telemark ski stole a few percent of the number of boarders on the mountains a few years back. The fat carving ski on the other hand, has now all but taken over. So snowboarding has become the minority sport on the slopes again. Which, for some reason, I prefer.
(well apart from the odd mono-skier that I still see)
