I'm re-posting something I put over there:
"Hah you know its funny... at least 5 times looking through this thread
I kept scrolling down for my "delete thread" button. Definitely
senseless shit-talking going on here. Stowebum - Man I'm stoked you're
super loyal, but seriously don't worry about it that much! Lets get
along... stereotyping gets everyone nowhere, and sadly I quite miss the
boat on the NS stereotype... (or do I count because I shave my balls?)
Regardless, I'm stoked on this dipping into a bit of cross polination.
Hell if I was out at some big scary mountain, I would more than love to
be shown around by one of the Maggots. Likewise, if you ever have the
desire to dip your toes in playing around in the park hit me up.
There's a ton we can learn from each other. Each board has its own
flavour, as each board is tailored to a different person. Here we deal
with more cut-throat shit talking and sophisticated humour, but on NS
there's more teenage stuff.
Counterpoints is something that the world of skiing is missing right
now. We used to have Freeze magazine to represent the angry 15 year
old, freeskier to represent the beer-drinking chick-banging 25 year
old, and powder to represent the... well... powder loving guy who could
be any age.
Now, the world of ski media is changing... things are moving online as
print dies its slow death. I consider it the greatest thing in the
world that there are two vibrant communities out there which we can all
be a part of.
I'd like to see a TGR vs. NS video contest... would anyone be down for
setting that up? We could have various rounds, and pick representatives
from the site to compete. Here's how I'd see it:
Round #1 - Lines.
Round #2 - BC Booters
Round #3 - Cliffs
Round #4 - Rails
The contest could be hosted on a neutral site (or on a page thats like
50/50) and we all can enter. Each round is scored and the top 3 of each
contest count towards the overall scoring scheme.
Would people be into something like that?"

How cool would that be if they accepted our challenge?
Don't hate on the TGR guys for being old. Trust me one day you'll be old too, and some kid will be like "You're old man" and you'll say "Do you still have to ask mom to go away for the weekend?"
Just leave that issue be... hell I'm almost 30 but its not like I'm not into what we do over here. Age has nothing to do with it... just bash people for having a stupid fucking attitude.
