A Tribute to Harvey

I wrote this in the news section thing, but I want this to be shown to more people for how much I owe to this site.

Wow

I can't even begin to explain how much newschoolers has impacted my life, seriously:

If it wasn't for newschoolers.com I would be a racer today. No joke, when I started skiing and wanted to ride bumps and rip groomers. It wasn't until my friends got me to hit my first jump that I immediately got on the internet in search of trick tips. That was when I found newschoolers, I didn't sign up, but I found trick tips and photos that made me want to ski so bad. That passion hasn't left, it's September 3rd and to me it only means that there's less time until I start skiing.

Skiing is my life, if I had never come to newschoolers, I would never have known of everything. And it wasn't until after I'd visited the site that I was inspired to create my own website. It started out small, but eventually it grew into a much better website, to the point where I average 1,000 hits per day for a steady 52 days. That was the best of any website I've ever created and about 90% of the people that visited that site went there thanks to newschoolers.com, not to mention that when I was too broke to afford to pay for the hosting of my site, Harvey messaged me and OFFERED me hosting. At first I refused, but times got tougher and I accepted, and he graciously hosted Get Hyped until I had the spare money to pay for my own hosting. It was during that time that I got noticed by a local shop and asked to do stuff for their website for skis in return.

If I had never built that website, I'd be so broke right now. Even worse, I'd probably be working my old part-time job at the shitty gas station down the hill. But thanks to skiing and newschoolers, I was doing so much web design work for skiing-related websites... a rough calculation shows I've made $3220 designing stuff for people in the skiing community. And if I was rich, I'd donate every cent of it to Harvey, because without that money I never would've been able to fund my new passion, photography. Not to mention this site was where I first talked to Mike La Anyane (Mauii) who taught me so much about photography.

Now, I've got a pretty good reputation as the web design guy in the ski community, and if it wasn't for newschoolers I never would've had that reputation, I would probably be a racer or I would've just quit skiing out of boredom.

I owe Harvey my life.

I still can't even start to imagine how much I owe to this site. Like I said, if it wasn't for newschoolers I wouldn't be as stoked on skiing as I am today, which leads to the local friends I've met through skiing:

Travis, Rich, Kyle, Kyle, Kayla, Anna, Colin, Ryan, Chance, Mike, Mike, Brian, Pedro, Josh, Jeff, Stephe, Shane, Suki and more...

Not to mention all the people I've met through this website that aren't locals.

I'm 100% positive that if it wasn't for me stumbling across newschoolers 3 years ago I'd be living a miserable life working at a shitty gas station making money to buy food because I'd be a fat pile of crap...

The only thing I could do to really thank Harvey (and of course the rest of the staff) for all of this was to create my tribute image, which is now displayed on the front page.

Ya the first time I looked at that image I thought, man whoever created that image really has a crap load of respect for what Havey has done, more than anyone else on this site. And its true by looking at what you wrote above you really owe a lot to Harvey, hes given you a lot and at least your thankful for it. Well written man.

^Did you see my thread? It has the picture shown on a shirt. But nobody posted and it died quickly. It was title 'this would be great.'

Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex (or same sex if you prefer). Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic.

You have been warned…

 
i know harvey is the man and has done alot for this place and he deserves as much respect as possible for what he has done for the online skiing community and i know id be flattered if someone wrote a big ass paragraph like you did, but id be a little freaked out having all these people sayin i love you and your the only reason im living right now, but thats just the way i think but none the less, it was well written

'Did you know that average penis size is 6.4inches and that the average vaginal canal is 7.9inches? Therefore.... in this country alone, there is over 17,000 miles of unused virgin pussy' - Poolhall Junkies
 
do u think it would freak him out if i asked him if i could have his babies???

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.

We're just two lost souls swimmin in a fish bowl, year after year. Runnin' over the same old ground, what have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.
 
Wow, that's great... Can't say I didn't see his departure coming though, just look at how crazy this last year has been here, and imagine what it was like on his end. And I'l leave it at that, I just hope cko doesn't drive this thing into the ground...

'...Smoking's bad, smoking killed my dad. Yeah, he was driving down the highway one day and as he was lighting his cigarette, it blew out the window. So he jumps out the door to save it, and ran himself over. Uh, you mind if I smoke?' -Olie Ollaussen, Ski Bum extraordinaire
 
Still steve damn get off the dudes nuts, I find it hard to believe it took an internet site to get you interested in skiing....Most people are interested in skiing then find the site..Youre just a tad bit of a faggot.
