I think we have all heard of this before, A guy started out with a red paper clip and trading up untill he got a house, he also got a shit ton of help

and there has been a few others

So this is what I am thinking, I am going to start with a sticker and trade up for 2 months and see where I end up.

Then with the last item I will put up on Ebay and have a bidding war. Then the money will be split up to acouple foundation of a few of our fallen riders, i.e shane, cj, and whoever has any good ones. And I will double what is made from this. So if I get 400 I will add another 400, now that I have a job and am no longer broke its time to give back. The donation will not be in my name, but insted it will say from NS member

This could totally fail or go somewhere, so lets see what happens

Ill start with this gold 1'x1' huge hope. sticker

If you want any success from this plan you will need to legitamise it. Notify the charities (and show they are real charities for that matter) and maybe get a sticky thread in ski garber and/or a headliner on the newschoolers front page. You're plan is very respectable and your ambtition is commendable but it is near impossible to trust anyone over the internet.

+K'z for threadz tho ahaha :p
