I don't snowboard for two main reasons:

#1 I think it's mainly a fag hippy sport that is all about sun glasses and snuggly buggly kind bud.

#2 Snowboarding claims to be kin to skateboarding and also claims to have roots in surfing as well. Now the two aforementioned activities are basically cost free and historically exist to denounce the media-crazed mentality that snowboarding has become a slave to. You can't skateboard for the wrong reasons and have fun; you'll eventually get hurt by a skateboard or beat up by the real skaters. You know better than I do, surfing is (or gives you) a view on life and how things fall into big circles that are, for the most part, comical. Snowboarders tend to fall into the group of people who grasp on to life or what they perceive as life and therefore cant find satisfaction in things that are as soulful and self orientated as Skateboarding and Surfing. In a nutshell.........
