so I was skiing at cop the other day and I saw one dude who I looked at and thought "this guy is the definition of a nser" he had a bmx helmet with ns, full tilt, level 1, tall t, on3p and yoke stickers on it, he had a Gatorade buff, a baggy yoke sweater, saga mitts, saga ski pants (with a ton of sag), he had big ass dragon goggles with a black tint, full tilt classics and a pair of AR7s with bent line poles with no baskets. I probably sound stupid as hell right now but how do you guys think you should look as a nser? how to act to. And yes you should "get full tilts"
Anyway me and my brother call this "obvious NSer is obvious" and we say that when we see somebody who's got typical NS stuff, whether it be saga, fulltilts, 10xl tall tees or whatever.
always wondered what dickheads think it's funny to chirp people off the lift and air horn shit, I nominate ravage for biggest douches on ns. good luck with your shit film production r4v4ge hahaha
Lol saga means less and less everyday there are so many wanna be park skiers that are in full saga and rentals that can hardly turn. They need an ns sticker to tell

or the hordes of neon 12 year olds haha. used to think saga was dope, especially there more og stuff, like Vader, dark side, varsity or tux. talked to saga though and they said if you liked the og stuff stay tuned for 16/17

They made thier logo 10x bigger and made everything skinny and neon at this point I really hope they dont drop OG stuff because fucking gapers and jerrys are still going to get it just swirlling the pot more and more

I've just given up on half the outerwear companies now, just into the smaller quality brands like tomahawk and bloom and some companies og shit
w_skierthese days the only way to confirm if someones an nser or not is a ns sticker
This is our #1 goal going forwards. We had some issues with sticker distribution for a few years, but we are almost ready to ramp up a crazy amount of distro going forwards.
We just got a brand new cutter at the office, and we've been pretty hard in production mode. The Tell A Friend Tour has a ton with them, and we're going to have a super easy way for you guys to get as many as you want.
There is no such thing as a "Typical NSer" anymore. The 15 year old skittle kids who were here at the start are now 32 and into totally different shit. We have people from all walks of skiing life hanging around the site.
In my mind there is one thing that makes a Newschool skier - Its someone who grew up with the idea that the mountain is a playground. Much more like a snowboarder than a Deer Valley ski magazine reading carver. Not stiff, knows how to have a good time, loves skiing, not afraid of the park, and does tricks here and there as they ride the whole mountain.
It's weird, home mountain has like 20 park locals. Most of which are way ahead of me but that's beside the point.
Of these 20 I only know one that is on new schoolers, and he's a racer that occasionally skis park.
Many of them have stereotypical NS clothing, but when asked about it they say "yeah I've seen them on Instagram, but not the website". These guys are older than me to.
If you ski park at Crystal now is your time to come forward.
Also of those who had ns stickers 1 of 4 actually new what the website was

This! Back when I shot for NS I was generally the kid in Carhartts and flannel on pow skis in the park, trying to 50-50 boxes without totally gaping out.
Now I'm repping NS on skis mounted with dynafits, skiing with a whippet most days and rocking crampons and a climbing helmet with NS stickers more often than hitting the park.
I do keep to my NS roots by throwing cossacks in the BC and yelling "Lip on blind Tru!" whenever I have to skin across a log or a buried fence though.
NS is a state of mind. There is no typical NS'er, we cover the spectrum!

This is so much the new world we live in. I keep meeting people that Know about and Love Newschoolers who only check us on Snapchat / Insta. Its nuts.

I don't know why you would say someone looks more like a Newschooler than anyone else. We all have our own particular style and preferences. This isn't even beginning to mention all the little 12 year olds running around in saga and full tilts who can barely step into their skis. This last weekend at granite I saw two of these kids wreck themselves of a 10 foot kicker. One knuckled and tomahawked the other landed flat. Both required ski patrol To cart their sorry asses off.
Probably back in the early days when the spirit of discovery and mateship was still present. Not saying it's gone, but anytime you are controlled by fashion, competition and hierarchy then you're climbing ladders other people have created.
If some people find new wide-open land, who's gonna get bitchy about the first little patch of empty land someone sees. Who's gonna feel threatened by anyone? Rather, won't people work together?
Another point-of-view is that as long as you're pushing the envelope above and beyond anyone else, (rather than sealing it up on failure) then it's newschool. Fashion can be newschool I suppose, unless it controls you.
BTW Ravage - I'm really sorry, I meant to quote your post and I totally fucked up and deleted it. Sadly there is no un-delete.
I'm 100% for being a reckless fuck. Hell that's how we act at the competitions we go to.
However, its a fine line where you're funny and you start to be a dick about it. Most of the posts in this thread you've made have been aggressive.... which shows me you care too much.
If you actually don't give a fuck and are a reckless rebel... don't care so much about what people say and don't be such a dick about it.

Its not that I don't like him.... but he just raged out on a few posts in here after getting called out. If you DGAF then you DGAF. Raging out is the very definition of giving a fuck.
PachankzPeople on this board follow each other's trends way too much. Not enough originality going on . Get full tilts , on3p , revision skis .
Try to stand out and be different. Create your own style .
Not true in the slightest. Humanity follows trends, so that is perfectly normal. Also, look at Cy's posts, or hang out with Troy. Very different types.
There's all types on here.
G_NukecumberIf you want ns stickers and you're still in HS or college go find a vinyl cutter if your school has one and make a dicut on google sketch up
Point of fact: The stickers you seek are actually called Vinyl Decals.
We have a cutter here at the office now, and production is in full swing. Store will be up any minute.

If you see this while on the chairlift, you are riding with a newschooler. The odds pretty good that my headphones are so loud that I won't even hear you. There is no proper way to act to prove your part of a discussion board online.

Be yourself, who gives a fuck
Whats wrong with a friendly conversation on the chairlift?
I always love meeting new people skiing. Best part of the sport if you ask me.
The key to this situation is if you see someone with that sticker on their gear, you ask:
"Hey, do you know how to get to Chads gap from the bottom of Alta?"
The response if you're an NSer should be:
"Ski Patrol Blew it up."
From there, you chat about life, take a few laps together and who knows... maybe make a new friend.
