This just goes to show.....the boys are just jealous of us girls! According to Swatch TTR conspiracy theory, the real reason the Roxy Chicken Jam was cancelled wasn't due to high winds, it was because the the trophies were snagged by some of snowboarding's powerful men, including the event organizer. As funny as this is, I wouldn't be surprised if it was true! I bet they haven't seen the podcast where Torah Bright was kicking some butt!
There are reality shows for chefs, hairdressers, fashion designers, people who want to lose weight, and even bartenders, so why not have one for women snowboarders?
