I wouldn't be so sure about that. Other than the fact that he's obviously on the bunny hill, there's something about this picture that just doesn't look right. Being a skier, and not a snow-boarder, I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's just something wrong with his posture -- the head isn't right for the body position, or something.
For boarders who haven't already decided, I think this probably will lose him votes.
Oh, and the smug look on the face of the guy behind him doesn't help much, either. Makes me want to kick both of them....
