You should try learning snowboarding. It is really fun. And on the first day you will me able to move of the bunny hill and on to the intermediate slopes.

There is just so mutch you can do with a snowboard, compared to skiing.

And how is that?

That is just your oppinion, not a fact. Just because you do not hear of lets say, Skeleton on yout average shitty TV programming, does not mean it is not a sport, or that it does not take place between Olympics.

Snowboarding cross is the best thing to happen to the olympics.

Half pipe was kind of gay, but it's kind of funny seeing those little stoners taking part in the olympics.

At first i was a little pissed, but after watching it, I must say I laughed out loud. She got EXACTLY what she deserved. Hopefully this will be a lesson to future olympic athletes.
