    Rickard Cunningham is a fucking moron.

    One of the reasons that skiing has progressed to such a high level is that the sport and its technology evolved in a vacuum. Nobody started alpine skiing because they really wanted to be a motocross racer. Skiers were not burdened by physical and technical limitations handed down to them by cross-over sports, which suggests that their upward progression is open-ended. Nobody knows where the limits are, because there is nothing to compare it to. They still glide on two sticks like their asymmetric cross-country ancestors, but the performance of today’s equipment is insanely adapted to the task. Stable at speed, crazy maneuverable and truly an extension of the rider – all without the benefit of conventional steering, suspension, or brakes.
    How many sports has skiing been influenced by or crossed over with??? Snowboarding, nordic skiing, mountain biking, surfing, water-skiing, mountaineering, skiboarding, gymnastics, inline skating, BMX, windsurfing, skydiving, parasailing, more....???

    Richard doesn't ski.
    But, he does frequently write to get a reaction.
    The stupid shit is in the comments section.
