A perplexing question no doubt....... it does seem like - Just Us Grey Beards Out There!
Where are the Young Bloods??
Maybe another way of asking the same thing is why or how is the Asian market so much more prolific....in numbers of Asian board companies making mass produced Alpine boards/boots/bindings...and selling out same season!, in number of Alpine riders, in number of female Alpine riders. in number of Alpine events/races/sponsors......
How is it there's standing room only when a Japanese Team rider gives EC/Body Sliding/Carving carpet demos?
Etc, etc.......
