Are you saying that anything that requires judges to give a score is not a
sport? It seems a strange method of categorisation, so maybe I'm making
the wrong assumptions.

Not that I think alpine will ever
be anything but niche, it does balance things out and shows theres
more to snowboarding than the superpipe.

I don't find the slalom stuff interesting at all. The pipe is a little
better for me, and Shaun White's run was awesome.

But like you, I'm definitely pleased about the inclusion of boarder cross,
although it requires judges though Mike :-)
