The problem, according to Holland, isn't that the trend toward tighter clothing could lend a competitive advantage, it's that trim pants betray the anti-establishment culture that birthed snowboard cross. Holland is concerned for "the integrity of the sport," saying, "I'm a snowboarder through and through, and boardercross is a freestyle snowboarder's race. I think it should stay that way."Holland further complained about "these young whippersnappers" on "his goldurn mountain", and further asserted that the tight pants had ruined snowboarding "just like punk rock".
