kjl Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Our very own Jack Michaud, if im not mistaken. Yeah, I think Jack started it but it's had a whole bunch of various editors since then. It's the wikipedia way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 The alpine article is pretty awesome. The "snowboard" article however seems pretty sparse... Especially the films section... Statements like this stand out: Out Cold is one of few major motion pictures to show snowboarding rather realistically and to exhibit a real understanding of the sport, as well as the culture that surrounds it. Does anybody else feel wronged by that statement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gleb Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 an OK movie about a resort an alaska and really has not much to do with snowboarding itself. I'm going to delete that on Wiki. plot summary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleb Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 but come on, "show snowboarding rather realistically and to exhibit a real understanding of the sport" Nothing in that movie exhibits anything about understanding of the sport.
