Then I guess we're both weird.... I hate the "businessification" of the Olympics.
Does it seem to you as if those snowboard events are just a little bit too easy compared to the work, long hours, and years of dedication that other sports require?
Then there is the money thing. Compare the cost of fielding a bobsled team entry with that of a snowboarder.
I'm sure glad we invented it, though. Gets us medals with very little effort.
