Personally, I kinda stumbled upon it while searching for skiing wallpapers on google images about a year ago, and just kinda took the images and left. Then I kept on coming across it while suring ski stuff online, and I lurked the forums for about a month before I joined. Before NS, I was a full on gaper haha. NS has taught me everything about skiing that I know now, and probably more. Thanks NS!

So, how did you come across newschoolers.com and when did you join?

Wow time flies. I remember when the site would crash all the time from uploads and it was an epic week if like 5 new pics were added. It has been great to see a site committed to one purpose: the love of a sport, continue on for so long. I am going to bet there are kids reading this that couldn't walk when I first stubbled upon Harvey's site with my steadfast dial-up connection. This is back when switchups were unheard of, D Spins could win X Games, and if you were online when someone else was logged on it was a busy night. BTW time flies fast as I found this site over 10 years ago as a frosh in high school and now finding myself in school pursuing a doctorate. I failed to join early but finally gave in and signed up in 2001. Keep ur dreams high kids and bust ur ass and you never know who you become.

Holy shit that's exactly the same with me. I don't recall lurking the forums, I just decided to make an account and then came across the forums a few minutes later.

about 4 years ago my buddy's older brother told me about a picture he found on the internet of some kid hanging on to a chair at  mount baker (we're from wa). So i looked it up and i found it on NS...after i was done being amazed by that picture i started to explore the site a little bit more untill the point where i loved every bit of it. now its my home page and the main source of my procrastination.

i was looking for some information for a ski trip and started typing names of mountains out west and kept getting random links to NS. I pillaged the site for the site for some info, forgot about it and came back the following summer when i was sitting at my desk at work, thinking about skiing and started looking for forums and blogs about skiing.

Videos of a buddy (volklpro to those who have been around forever) jumping over tour buses in Glacier Park were on here, and it spread from there. 

It's crazy to think that I've been on the sight since 2004. Wow.

my family got our first computer when I was 11 (parents had ones before that) and I did not know how to use the internet so I kept coming to newschoolers by googling someones profile. a couple months later I made an account, that was in 2002, I wish I could remember the name and take it back since now you can change user names.

I joined to try and sell some gear, and got hooked. There seemed to be a lot of helpful people and features. Dont think I could delete my account if I tried now.

I found the 4bi9 Killin' It Edit on Youtube. I saw kids talking about Tom Wallisch in 07 so I presumed he was in that edit. Googled his name and really the only results were from NS. I lurked and eventually joined. Now you google Tom Wallisch and get so many results haha.
