Thats right NS, we've launched it once, fucked it up, tested and tested again, and finally its ready to bust out. 

In preparation for our online qualifier, we wanted to warm you up with a short online rail Jam.   We're going to run it for one week, and the winner will walk away with a Studio411 six-pack of videos.  

"This contest marks the beginning of a new era of competitions.   Here at Newschoolers we are lauching a series of online contests, that will start small but gradually grow over time.   The main idea here is that you shoot your trick in the comfort of your own home park, and then upload it to our contest system to compete with other skiers! 

Voting is done by you the community, so there's no judges to be pissed at other than yourself.  We're limiting the voting to one per account per IP - so if you have more than one NSer in your house only one of you will be able to vote.   We're doing it this way to make it really hard for you scummy cheaters out there to scam the system! 

Anyways, this should be a cool way to work it through the season.   We'll be keeping stats on performances throughout the year, and one day will tally up who is truly the most talented skier on NS. 

Remember, even if you figure out a way to cheat the system, DON'T DO IT.    I mean come on we all want to know who is the best, and we all complain about shitty judging, so this is the one way to get the true opinion.   If someone's trick was better than your buddy's then vote it higher.  Don't just vote for your friends because they're your friends, vote for who truly is the best and together we can re-define the way that skiing  contests work!

Also, we have limited the types of files you can use to flash video.   So you've got to upload it to something like YouTube or Google Video before you post it.   That way there's no conflicting file formats!"

So get your trick uploaded and paste the code in here.   Watch and vote and keep it fair!

You should make one where the object is to jib the most random object you can find, and the best "random object jib" wins.

yo i wish people would go through and vote for all of the entries, or at least all the ones that they like/are in contention. i don't mean to bitch, but some entries have a lot more votes than others.

Hah this is sweet!   SToked you guys are uploading.   I think the system needs some tweaking still, but we can have a lot of fun with this. 

^^He's right though, make sure to vote on ALL of the videos not just your buddies!

yo i just got an idea, what if for future contests it was designed so that if you want to vote on an entry then you must vote on every other entry? Like have a page where every vid is posted with a spot next to it to vote so you watch each clip then have to vote on each one in order to submit all the votes.
