idk but i just remember coming across some NS video contest in like 2004 where u had to make a ski edit and put the name newschoolers in there creatively, and i remember there was one w/ a crab that said "newschoolers.com" in a screachy voice, and i didn't know how to navigate the site so i stopped going on it, and like a year later i went back on it and have been hooked ever since, but i don't know how i stumbled upon it

Well where do i start....

One day i was walking down the beach aimlessly when i stumbeled...literaly stumbeled onto a FREEZE magazine... I looked in this anchient artifact and saw a bunch of hyroglyphics, they were little men with a snowboard under each foot and with only one binding on each board. I was flaburgasted that they would treat snowboards like that. As i continued to look through this "FREEZE" i saw NEWSCHOOLERS.COM more than one time... then i realized that i could finaly read actual words instead of pictographs.. I dont know what that "word" ment. So a few years later i stumbeled, literaly stumbeled and fell onto a computer at a "internet cafe". During the stumbel i burned myself badly.. and i went to the hopspital saying, ouch, my face is burning. Then i was treated, and i asked the nurse for a "personal computer" now you people call them "PC's", cleaver by the way. And i finaly after weeks of trying got to this "website" called NEWSCHOOLERS.COM. I learned many things from this site, such as to NEVER USE CAPS UNLESS YOU ARE YELLING!!!, and to always searchbar things or else i am called a "NOOB" and that a man named Tanner Hall is ruling the world like the myans did....

Around 2002/2003 my buddy Nico was really into freestyle skiing. I have skied over 18 years but I never really threw spins or any tricks really. Except for daffy's, the big "Iron Cross", and just tricks I learned from my moguls coach. I was used to skiing fresh, doing the bumps, and "hucking" cliffs. NS and the lifestyle was all new to me; and Nico was a member of newschoolers already. He got me really stoked on throwing pencil 7's and shit. I just liked which direction newschoolers was headed in terms of skiing not Hating and I had to join. Ever since I have been a faithful member of NS.

no one can believe me on the shane szocs nephew thing, but w/e. He told me his mom's sister, amanda, maiden name hilifer, married shane szocs. i thought he was throwing shit, then his sister was in a high north vid, and i saw the email from shane with the kids from ethiopia he adopted. I'm pretty sure he's not lying.

I wanted to build a backyard rail so i searched google, and i was directed to the "build a jib" cult. I had to join the site to join the cult so i could build my jib, which i still haven't done 3 years later...

when i was a freshman in high school (2001?) i was creating a skiing website (free-stylers.com) to post our groups pictures and videos.  if you ever saw it, im sorry it was so shitty. it wasn't the top priority of my life.  Anyway, I was looking for other ski websites that i could link up with and increase my site's traffic.  ran into gene from freeridezone.com and he helped me out a little bit with coding and opinions. then he mentioned matt harvey of newschoolers.com.  so i started talking with harvey, he helped me learn how to use embed videos in webpages and javascript code. back then video and webpages weren't a common thing.  flash was new technology.  but yeah, harvey's input made things really easy, i was doing everything hard coded html.  not fun.  yeah so then our websites were posted in an issue of FREEZE and i felt good and was planning on releasing a version 2 with an area for kids to submit their own shit.  thinking it might give people inscentive to check the site.  but harvey released the improved version of ns and there was no need to have a bio/media site.  so i stopped making my site, and got drunk most days instead.  began using the forum and met a bunch of cool people.  then i moved outa my parents house and began to ski for 3 years and ns has died in my life other than checking video in the summer time.  oh yeah and i remember this site getting really popular and extremely young kids joining.  it used to be a very close community where you knew most people's names.

some of us are still out there....most of them are green.
