Aerial requirements

I happen to have two scouts working on this merit badge that have completed everything but the aeriel nose-grab move. I hadn't expected that being an issue but it is. When you go to a mountain these days you see almost as many skiers doing aerials as snowboarders. It would seem reasonable to remove the nose-grab requirement for snowboarders so they don't have to risk the injury from an aerial manuever. Has anyone else run into this problem? --Millert 21:26, June 13, 2007 (EDT)

Talk page formatting and signature tips

Millert, welcome to the Wiki... just a little helpful formatting information on talk pages for you.

:Each Reply, is indented (for clean formatting) by beginning with a ":" (minus the quotes)
at the beginning of the edit. --RWSmith 22:29, June 13, 2007 (EDT) (Signature)

::Additional colons should be added for each subsequent reply. ----RWSmith 22:29, June 13, 2007 (EDT) (Signature)

:::And so on... --RWSmith 22:29, June 13, 2007 (EDT) (Signature)

Also, always sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes, like so... ~~~~

I hope somebody can help with your originally question. --RWSmith 22:29, June 13, 2007 (EDT)

Aerial Requirements

As an avid skier of over 30 years I agree that aerial requirements should be removed. There is no need to encourage this type of behavior, a scout can have a wonderful time enjoying his snowboard without getting air.

I am very uncomfortable telling a scout that they must do aerial grabs in order to complete this badge.

Broken links in resources section and merit badge workbook

I just went through the snow sports merit badge and found several broken links in the resource section of the wiki page and in the merit badge workbook. I don't seem to have edit privi's and can't fix the links. We need to do some investigation on the links, but most can be figured out w/o too much trouble. How can I help here?
