Vanular won the US Open, Gravity Games, podiumed at the World Superpipe Champs as well as the 05 FIS pipe world championships. Also won the WSI rail jam, Vermont Open, Grand Valaria Slopestyle, etc....
Oh yeah, and he trained and competed with CVA, coached at Momentum ski camps, and had some epic movie segments too.
Nothing against ns, but exactly how is ns responsible for that string of accomplishments?
If you think about it though, WE are the majority of newschool skiing. They may blow up, but to no real outside sources, seeing as how the base of park skiing (newschoolers.com) is its creator, and at the same time its recipient. I can see how this is confusing, but it would be like the entire earth hyping up one person. Sure they blew up, but noone really noticed any differnce becasue everyone on earth was already hyping him. No one was like "hey who the fuck is this kid?". the same concept kind of applies for NS. whether it be wallisch, cosco, stepp, walker, or vanular.
im gonna say that the guys out there who havent had a significant competition result but are somehow known owe it to NS. So what comes to mind is Wallisch, stepp, foster, cedric. cedric is the best outta them
Cedric before he got hurt was in bermans movie and doing well in comps. The rest of the guys are only blown up on NS, and thats what i mean, they are only blown up because of NS. Without NS you wouldnt know their names but somehow we all do. So i guess if a name becomes nearly household then that means they blew up right? everyone knows wallisch now, and thats not because of big segments or competitions, only because of ns. Now for people who have actually Blown up on the scene and owe it to NS, i guess the only answer would be Matt walker. Vanular really owes nothing to NS, he owes some to berman but Vanular made his way by competing. I guess people blowing up by newschoolers watching movie segments would count? its a tough call what counts and what doesnt count. no one knew travis redd before berman picked him up, and know everyone knows him because everyone on newschoolers watches the video. so i guess he blew up because of viewers from ns.
then there not blown up..only ns and friends know them. cause to be blown up dont you have to go win stuff (not saying the guys that people named didnt cause i dont pay attention) but just getting a household name means a your good skier + your on ns. does this mean we can hype any kid thats sick and they get a household name and are considered blown up?
i dont like this thread
I'm pretty sure everybody has learned to accept 4bi9, or at least stop hating them because they realized that they are dope, kind of like last years ATA
