Does it matter what we call it? Well if the whole world starting playing tennis and calling raquets ‘bats’ and talking about ’15-nil’ isntead of ’15-love’ I think the Lawn Tennis Association would have something to say about it! Just don’t sound right does it? If you wanna take up a sport you should really respect da lingo!

Hey Adam, I can’t believe that flew under the radar! Bloody Aussies. The author of said article is currently doing 100 consectutive push-ups for his sins and I will personally be sleeping on a bed of nails tonight for not spotting the vocab malfunction. This article was a personal rant for the Last Lift page and should be taken as such. For the record tho, the way I see it ‘boarding’ has got so widespread we’ve all been guilty of using it, but Moran is basically right – it sounds gay.

People “board” planes, people “board” ships, people “board” buses people don’t “board” snow. Why diss this most amazing of natures creations, that allows us to spend time away from all those wankers in the real world by implying you stomped all over it on what you probably refer to as a plank of wood! Ride it, enjoy the RIDE! Oh by the way I never heard anyone say that they “boarded” that hot girl or guy in the bar last night… bet they had a good “Ride” though!

Why are we bothered….. as mr impartial points out…. riders got soul, they respect the mountains and the people in them! Boarders are those wankers who probably would rather spend the time in a bar getting wasted talking about what a good boarder they are and when they’re on the slopes they’re the ones at mach 10 outta control makin everybody think that anyone on a board ia a wanker! Oh and trashin your deck in the lift queue!

Do you call football – soccer! Nuff said!

What does it matter what we call it? I saw this posted on Goneboarding a little while back. It’s just such a silly argument! Why can’t we all just enjoy it?

FINALLY! You took the words out of my mouth Mr Moran! Boarding just grates every time I hear it. Dunno why, just sounds punter.
