Hey Newschoolers!

ESPN has just launched a March Madness-style bracket tournament to help determine the Top Action Sports Star, and both Tom and Kaya are in the running!

Tom has some stiff competition in the first round against Travis Rice, while Kaya is up against Carissa Moore, so help them out and click here to vote...and let the power of Newschoolers be felt! :)

think about the impact tom has had on our sport vs. travis on our sport. No doubt travis is a very influential figure in all snow sports, but when talking about freeskiing specifically, there's no doubt in my mind that Tom has had a larger impact

yea, I wish they weren't up against each other.

and if NS sways Tom to win against Kelly Slater. I dunno what I'm going to think about that. They really aren't in the same league.... yet.

Problem 1-you have to be 18+ to voted.
Problem 2- NS is a terribly small fraction of the actual population
Problem 3- I am not going to vote for somebody based solely because they are on NS.
Problem 4- i probably to a not serious post seriously

I've seen Wallisch in the gym, working the fuck out, too, for getting into shape. You know he got a chance he can win.

Newschoolers like to do shit like that... vote for the wrong dude as a goof. They get drunk and high and shit and go like:

"Let's vote for Tom Wallisch!"


"Hahaha... I just voted for Tom Wallisch...!"



And next day would be like this:

"He fuckin' won?!"
