enderzero 0 Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Yes. How many of us would *still* be skiing if there was no snowboarding? Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Sure would Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I'd like to try curling. It looks quite fun to me. They're going to build a huge curling alley in Haramura, Nagano soon. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I propose the SJ Curling team. I reckon we could field a senior and reserve team. Link to post Share on other sites
edders 0 Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I do both anyway. Skier-only types - if there was no skiing, would you snowboard? Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 More to the point, if there were no nibbly cheesy snacks to be had on the hills, would you stop skiing or snowboarding? Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 No snowboarding, that is a scary thought. I think I would try to invent snowboarding. Link to post Share on other sites
Raury 0 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 No, I can't ski because of my knees. That is what stopped me from picking up a winter sport, but then I realised that boarding would work with my knees and I was in love with a new sport. Link to post Share on other sites
viv&kev 0 Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 barok, nice one. Apart from the knee issue, I can't believe snowboarders wouldn't ski if there was no boarding. After all, that's what a huge number of snowboarders were doing before 5 years ago, right? Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 5 years ago, that's what today's snowboarders were doing - waiting for Jake Burton et al to invent the snowboard. Not all of them were skiing. Link to post Share on other sites
JEZx 0 Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Yeah right, but a significantly large large number of them were skiing. Link to post Share on other sites
newtoallthis 0 Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 This is really interesting to a newby like me to think that skiers and snowboarders think like this of each other (in this thread and other's I've read). I will soon be deciding myself! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Really, it's no big deal. Honest! Link to post Share on other sites
