Yea, I agree, there are alot more younger people on the site now and that is a big reason you see alot of lame threads, but fuck, we are all young and stupid at one time.  Fuck, im glad a lot of young kids are skiing these days, it means the sport will be able to sustain itself in the future for a long time.  I often laugh my ass off at some of the things young kids say on this site.
I wish I could have gotten advice from older skiers/people when I was younger, it would have saved me alot of trouble throughout my life.  NS wasnt around when I was 13 though.
