Has Snowboarding Sold Its Soul? 🏂
Just watched this Justaride rant and it hits home. The industry preaches "inclusivity" but feels more exclusive than ever.

The "Core" Problem:
• Fashion over Function: Why do we care if your pants are baggy or your goggle strap is under the helmet?
• Gatekeeping: Brands labeling riders "kooks" for wearing affordable gear while dropping $1,000 bindings.
• Ski Brand Hate: If the board rides well and is built by riders, who cares if the parent company makes skis?
The Discussion: Are we killing the vibe with "core" elitism? Shouldn't it just be about the turn?
What does "Core" even mean to you anymore?
