The title says it all.
Just post who or how you found out about NS.
Stories welcome.

-I have been a skier all my life and just recently started skiing park. The only way I heard of the new pros and saw the latest gear was from watching X Games. Finally I was talking to someone about riding park and he asked me if i was on NewSchoolers. I said no and he told me to go to the website. The first couple times looking at the site was pure failure. I had no idea where to go and thought that you had to be a member to actually look at the forums, pictures, videos etc. That same kid ended up making me an account and getting me started. Since then my free time has never been the same!

"back in 05  golfers digest said i was going to be the next arnold palmer, but they wouldn't let me play on the pro tour"
"oh i'm sorry, because you're black?"

The kids at my local mountain. They kept saying I should join 'newschoolers' and I kept telling them, 'but I'm oldschool'...then I signed on one day...and that was that. Glad I did.

i found NS while searching for a "Skiing video game". it brought me to jibdeluxe or w/e you call it. but the site just confused me then so i made and account but never did anything wiht it.

then last year i dislocated my knee and was out for 2 months. thats when i got on here and started getting into newschoolers. and now im here for life

I saw my friend Justin in a thread, he was just scrolling through dozens of pictures of goggles, skis, boots, coats, and I asked him "How the hell did you find so much shit???" and he told me NS. I found it a week later and have been on ever since.

I honestly don't remember. It's kinda bugging me right now actually. I think I just stumbled across it while bored one day.


Whow, I just got a flashback of the Freeze Forum. hahaha, I bet none of you even know what I'm talking about.

if I remember right....

I was on the poor boyz site back in like, 2003 or 04, and they had a link to NS on there for some reason. So i came over, read for a long time, then finally joined one day in 05.

Some kid back at my school back in 2005 introduced me to NS, he wanted to show me Tanner's Chad's gap bail. I then signed up to have an account but it never even got activated. So I tried a couple other times but it never worked for some odd reason, I would then always enter NS as a guest to check out mostly photos and threads. I remember being amazed at this picture:Click for larger image
I didn't think anything could ever beat it..
Then in 2008, I finally got an account.
