my tag is Triple_Strum, but my name is Russell. I've been on NS for three years now - member 20K something. I am not the oldest vet, but I have enjoyed NS as much as anyone over the past three years, and hopefully contributed a bit as well.

Anyway, I wanted to say thanks to the guys who were the original nerds who started this site and keep it running day after day. I have posted pics, a couple of videos (anyone remember my tandem-ski?), bought and sold a lot of things, and learned lots about skiing and ski equipment in the meantime. It has been a fun release from being serious (I am an 8th grade teacher - stress comes quickly and in large quantities :) It has provided me with gear and information I could have never found elsewhere considering I live in Virginia. So, if NS has been good to you, say so here. This is not the place for comments about what could be improved or things that annoy you or comments towards anyone else, but simply thanking the people who run the site and encouraging them to keep up the good work. Let's have positive posts like this make it to 5 or 6 pages instead of battles and arguments. Thanks NS, Bishop, Harvey, cko, and the rest of the people that got is started and keep it going.

I thank NS for all the rad people I have gotten to ski with all over the place, and the fact that you have connections even when you haven't been there before.

newschoolers has given me an identity: alot of kids connect with being emo, the jock scene, the nerd scene, but whatever the case, it makes them feel good about themselves knowing that they're part of something and can have friends that relate to them on the same level. Ns has given that to me - I am a SKIER, and everyone on this site can relate to that. All I can think about at work during the summer is skiing, all I can do during the winter at school is procrastinate on my work and edit video from the past weekend's ridiculous trip. Without NS I wouldn't be the same person I am today, so thank you.

thank you everyone for everything you guys do and keep the site running !

but just going to say this

imagine how weird if your teacher was an nser !

like finding him on the 420 cult or like saying to a friend you should pee in her butt !
and then he says NS and then you become like best friends in the school thanks to NS
