Snowboard/Archery Biathlon Variant

Someone was telling me at the weekend that this is being put forward as a possible new bialthlon discipline at an olympics off int the future somewhere, has anyone got the info on this?

I'd be well up for this, especially as I can just about do both

Would be surprised if archery was combined with snowboarding as an Olympic sport. I would have though it would have been more likely to be ski archery , as this is already a recognised and promoted discipline by FITA.

See this link below (there's even a video):

Yup, I know about ski archery, but this guy told me about the snowboard/archery combo, it's in complete infancy at the mo, probably why the web draws a blank for now.

I just love the idea of doing a snowboard cross then shooting then doing another cross, the only problem is that at some stage you're gonna have to climb back up on foot or something, hehe.

Just wanted to find out what they had in mind...
