All well and good to say that you dont want to be a part of it, but in my opinion, if all is takes is other peoples view of the sport for you to want to get out, maybe you should.
I am, and have been for ages. As far as that aspect of snowboarding goes, I’m like Terje with the Olympics - I strongly oppose it and want nothing to do with it. Just like Terje, that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the traditional, untainted aspects of snowboarding. If only I could actually ride just like Terje.
