After missing everything that's happened in Sochi over the last week, I finally get back to civilization and check Newschoolers for my fix. What I'm discovering has fully blown my mind in the best way possible. I've spent the last half-hour in a constant fit of hysterical laughter because...

Did anyone make it over to killi this past weekend? From what I can tell on their website, it looks like they FINALLY opened dream maker... but the layout doesn't really look all that good (a few variations on the same type of down rail, and 4 (5?) jumps) I'm really excited to ride it but I...

I've tried to do my research on the differences between the Griffons and the Z12 Tis and they seem to be pretty solid competitors. I know NS doesn't always think the most of the Griffons, but I thought I should ask for advice anyway. For background: I'm 6'1", 210 lbs, ski 70% park, 20% east...

Assuming T-Wall's fractured shoulderblade won't heal all too quickly, and after Casabon and Harlaut left for Inspired, I feel bad for Berman/Level 1. I loved what they did with Eye Trip last year, but I see them getting the short end of the stick this year and won't be able to produce anything...

Before you flame on the topic of this thread, I just wanted to share tom's response to a question about afterbang in the newest issue of Freeskiier. I think it really validates the style a lot of park skiiers are adopting, and make a lot of sense rather than just afterbanging to look like a...

Love him or hate him, he won. Story:http://freeskier.com/stories/skier-year-tom-wallisch Personally I think he deserved it, but there are a lot of other guys who could have deserved it as well

Quoted from their website as a description of their Gonzo jacket: "Ramp-up your steezy style with this eye-catching, functional snowsports jacket." ..."steezy style"? "Ramp up"? I knew it felt weird having northface in the action sports world. Huge props to Riddle/Martini/Wallisch for joining...

http://armadaskis.com/product/skis/ar7/ I just picked up my AR7s yesterday for this season (SO STOKED /claim), and I'm procrastinating on a sunday night so I decided to check out the little video promo Armada provides for all of their skis on the AR7. I wasn't expecting it, but from 0:12 - 0:30...

Re: losing TJ Schiller from their team, they said (for those of you who haven't seen it): "Coreupt and TJ had two beautiful years of competition and went 2 times X Games medalist together.TJ was a key element of the rise of Coreupt and will leave its print in the brand history. Coreupt is proud...

I haven't looked into it more than that past year of both early- and regular-season trailers, but think about the songs they used and how their artists kinda took off just after that time. Early season last year: Some hathbanger track, I think he called it "j'fee 4 lyfe" or something like that...

So my project this summer was to crank out a 14-track mixtape of mashups/remixes/electro stuff, and I think it turned out decently well. I know a lot of NSers listen to similar stuff to what I like, so I figured I'd give you guys the link for the DLs. You can get my mixtape, Sorry for Partying...

Hope this isn't a repost... http://http://community.freeskier.com/articles/article.php?article_id=5260 It was a pretty short one this week, but I gotta say I approve of his choice of favorite animal: "My favorite animal is the Penguin because of its pure steeze." Also, I had no idea his...

Since it seems like most of NS and I share at least three interests, those being: skiing, electro, and partying, I thought I'd give back by posting a little edit I did this spring. I made if for some friends for pregames or whatever, but I've found its pretty high energy for skiing park...

While I don't really think parkour is that cool, the shot at 0:42 (the one where the guy does the handplant 3 over the small green car) looks feasible on skis, yet I don't think I've ever seen anything exactly like it done before. Video: at 0:42 Seems like it would be pretty cool, and able to...

So somewhat in response to the ridiculous number of updates from summer ski camps on the NS homepage, I've been thinking about where skiing is going. To me, it seemed like it used to be a sport that people would do just in the winter, then move onto other things in the summer... but now, it has...
