Is newschoolers really only freestyle?

[djikstra]

I keep forgetting that this site is supposed to be freestyle oriented. I think its good that we are not so onesided because freestyle is starting to coincide with the backcountry...

 

[*DrewT*]

they're both sick

 

[foodisfun]

yea i really like big mountain stuff. there's really not much more i enjoy than a good cliff drop or some nice lines. but i also like park stuff too so im glad i can get like everything here

 

[hendrik.]

newschool is a state of mind, not a style of skiing.

 

[SSBS]

big mountain fokin rocks... i think its important to keep this site talkin about every aspects of our sport...

 

[Lax_Bro40]

alot of us cant ski the backcountry

 

[cjgncjgn]

i like the idea of big mountain... but i live on the east coast... so its not really available

 

[djikstra]

well put

 

[twoplankerbean]

don't confuse freestyle with freeskiing. freestyle is moguls. NS is definitely not mogul oriented.

 

[skiierman]

Freeskiing is just what it says, free, you can do whatever you want.

 

[cork5_thovex]

i think if everybody had big mountains near them, this site would have a lot more big mountain talk on it. but everybody has a park to ski at so that is what you here more about.

 

[SEYFFER_ALEX]

I think that they are about the same as long as there are no racing videos I am happy

 

[Subjekt]

its not like it was unintended for us to support the big mountain style, we have sections for pics and vids standard, so it was definately an intention, right harvey?

 

[lalalalaura]

newschoolers...if for newschool... including big mountain, which is newschool depending on what jacket you're wearing

[J-Wile]

newschool is a state of mind, not a style of skiing.

I think most of us end up like that. This is what the phrase of "Newschool is a state of mind, not a style of skiing" means to me. Even once you discover that the rest of the mountain exists, you still play on it and have style.

Hell, Newschoolers is 16 years old. The 14 year olds that started here are 30.

Actually.... LJ if you're checking this I have a question for you:

Can you give us some insight into how your life has gone / mindset has changed since you originally wrote this post?
