really newschoolers?


i'm sorry. but you've got to be kidding me.

you guys really want to pay money to support another stock webisode series. family vacation wasn't unoriginal enough..

this is directed specifically at Mr. Bishop
you are claiming that you want newschoolers to promote skiing in a fresh and badass way. i'm referring mostly to the First Drop ads that you were claiming were controversial and therefore good for the website..

so why would you host this entire pilot project contest to support a webisode series that is no different than the last one that you supported. i get it. westward made top 3 last year and now this is their year for redemption. but honestly. who cares.

calvin said it well although he hated pretty hard
"how to make a webisode: buy a nice camera, find like 20 mediocre skiers with stock tricks and stock style, huck doubles and 630s, film cork 7s for the rest of the time as filler, if skiers get tired of cork 7s and switch rodeos just film interviews that just state the obvious situation from some idiot nobody has ever heard of's perspective of what is happening to him that day. When it's all said and done, you will need to over edit every single clip as much as possible so that people dont notice that the entire thing was unoriginal and uninteresting."


I'm done with this website. you guys are pathetic. I'm pissed we didn't win and heres why. i had no interest in making money from this pilot project, getting some skis, having a countdown or whatever

the skiing in our edit murdered and will continue to murder much harder than WESTWARD TV. the first webisode we planned to release will blow Westwards nonsense out of the water

i can say this with confidence because i wasn't going to create the first webisode. it would have been a movie from the summer in hood river and i was going to give all $300 to our homies in hood river who produced the movie.

well. thats not going to happen.

I'm being a bitch and ranting cause this is wack. this is beyond wack. you guys have disappointed a ton of ppl not just me.

this edit alone shits on westwardTV



way to go schmuck and bishop. hopefully all the fools who dedicate tons of time and interest towards your website are satisfied with this nonsense boring videoblog series.

i'm done contributing to newschoolers. i make ski edits to expose our sport to a larger audience. not to bore the hell out of ppl with interviews, mellow urban rails, and park footage

skiing has become ridiculous lame
and you guys just made it that much lamer.

fuck you. delete this thread and your just proving my point.

peace

what were these rules. the judging criteria for the top 3 was never explained..

entertainment?

creativity?

consistency?

good skiing?

music choice?

humor?

death gaps?

flaming pole jams?

herban?

backcountry booters?

70ft gainers?

good filming?

..glide cams?
..slow motion park footy?



great.. we didn't win. but the webisode you picked is definitely not a winner

Rules
• You must either be a brand new webisode series, or an existing one without a major or title sponsor that financially supports your series.
• Only one entry per webisode series.
• Entries can be no longer than 10 minutes.
• Anyone found to be giving blatantly high ratings to one entry and blatantly low ratings to others will have their votes automatically removed by our contest system.

There are no definite rules that say "You have to have these things to win" it's up to the judges to decide what they like.

Forster I'd love to agree with you on this one and I do, Westward shouldn't have won the contest. But that doesn't mean you need to get all offended. People lose contests all the time and it's not always fair but coming on here and insulting the people and OWNER of the website that you were trying to gain the support of, is not the right way to do it. I'd say stop and try to pick up the pieces. People like the Hood Crew's shit and there is no doubt in my mind that the Hood Crew is going to blow up but doing stuff like this is just giving Hood Crew a bad name. The Hood Crew is sick as fuck but you don't want to become the new FD and generally disliked by the majority of NS for petty disagreements and bad PR.

Kind of pertains to Danny more than Forster ^

THC should have won.

I'm from Ontario, and I still think westward is boring as fuck. I'm always stoked to see edits from people coming out of the same region/hills, but that shit just follows the same lame formula that everyone is copying now a days. It's just weak and uninteresting...

Also, those Hood Crew guys look like they could use the money!!! Seriously, I'm pretty sure most of the westward guys go to college or university, and have parents that finance pretty much everything/anything they want to do. I get the vibe that this whole "westward" thing is just a side project while they are in school, a little phase of their life that will be crumpled and forgotten in a year or two... Just from watching THC's edits, you know they all live to ski, you can see that they've got something westward doesn't. It's just a better vibe. (also the skiing is better, and the filming IMO). Especially that guy forster meeks, his style is really stand-out and fresh, It's got soul, and I could watch it for days. I get the impression that every hood crew rider lives to ski, and I think they could go a lot farther with the money.

The advantages of picking westward would be that there work is more polished and professional looking. It's appealing to a wider audience, and is more approachable. Both traits are very important to media corporations like the one NS is owned by, it makes them more comfortable when they are shelling out $1800. It's a safe and stable business move. That's all it is. What other reasons could their be? It's not like westward has better skiing, they don't have better filming...

I'm not sure how much of a say bishop had is this decision, but I think you need to get a fucking grip.

It's pretty disappointing. It sucks that THC members are responding with such hostility, but I'm not mad considering the fact that I stopped giving a shit about skiing a long while ago.

I think that 1800 dollars and promotional kit is more valuable to the hood crew, and I'm ashamed to see it go to waste. If "the newschoolers community chose the video" than fuck you newschoolers community. Fuck. You.
