Newschoolers.com and its effect on me

I was thinking just now how much of an opinion the Newschool members have on my decisions on what to purchase in the ski industry. Whenever I or anyone else is discussing a ski, boot, binding, pole, goggle, glove, hat, helmet, and any other ski related item, I come and question NS.com, in a way we are one of the most powerful voices in the ski industry.. If you're speaking positively about a company over 1 thousand people a day have the ability to read it.. and if you express yourself eloquently and with enough english that is legible and easily read than you can get across a pretty important message. It's almost like the Ski companies should be paying us. When any new ski comes out you get thousands of threads both positive and negative. but when that ski comes along for example last year with Line Mike Nick. I purchased this ski based off the NS opinion.. I didn't receive any super negative feedback and I learned a lot.. I ski east coast and i dont do moguls so I knew this ski could be right for me.. I created threads, and read everyone else's opinion and it allowed me to ask 'real freestyle skiers' their opinions instead of walking into some racing driven ski store and hear some snowboarder tell me why I should buy some 800$ boots. I just want to go out on a limb and thank NS for their help skiing wise.. and you all can crack down on me now for publicly thanking people i dont even know.. but i guess im just speaking from the heart..

yah as anyone reading this knows ns is the shit (except freeskisquaw) who will prolly tell me i am dumb and so is ns etc.

 
im glad there is people like you on ns, and im glad there is people who truefully respond to peoples questions.

unfortuntly there are a ton of morons, but as long as you read around all the shit talking, and dumbass remarks, they actually is some content.

yeah alot of shit i buy is heavily influenced by the voices of NS members. thanks everyone who has helped with anything that influenced or even made my decision on what product i buy and why.

newschoolers made me want to make fun of this kid who races. i later found out he was super uncool for more reasons than racing. thanks NS!

I agree some of the info is really interesting and I learn alot but then you have some of these guys that just screw it up its so pathetic that they have nothin else to do.

impossible is really just a lack of determination

Well despite all of that my heart was certainly moved while reading your post.

I think it's great to hear that people are psyched about NS! I know that when I want to research products there's a lot to learn on here.

The best part is that everybody here creates it. Sometimes we hear about rumours in the ski industry before anyone knows about it. There's NS spies everywhere...

This is a great place to read reviews, there's def trendy gear though that gets rated higher than better qual- less trendy gear, but you kind of learn to read around that

^and the best part is, the company isn't the marketing idea on NS so it's better if a real person says their products are the shit, than the actual company just talking to increase sales

NS Philosopher
 
yeah its pretty good to hear what people have to say about all the ski gear thats out there, it gives me pretty much help about things ive wondered about at work (ski-shop)

And if someone do have any question about anything ski/boot/binding related feel free to ask me.

I wont try to sell you 600$ boot, i never do.

But i think that we should have a 'question' forum, because you get a little anoyed when like half of the threads in ski-gabber are about what skis should i buy etc.

^agreed! there people could talk straight from the heart equipment with experience instead of asking the guy in the shop who only wanna sell u the most expensive stuff... like .. me and my friend were at a lokal shop where they got many K' skis and armada skis.. and my friend was considering bying fujatives.. So we thought we should aks the guy in the shop for fun... and he came up with stuff like: THe K' AK Madens are trully park skis...then we laughed in silence 4 our selves...

Ya i used to listen to ppl at ski shops until i went on NS and realized that it was all marketing bullshit

that was deep and true, ns has done a lot for me as well, but when u go to this thread that u just made and people write down responses like 'too long', thats when u know somethings wrong, we need peace on ns, and im not even a hippie, i just want some positive responses to good threads

When i come to think about it, I definatly bought all my shit realted shit because of good reviews on this site or asking people here etc... what do you think they typical get-up for someone who strictly gets their info from NS? I would have to say that we have made the PE pretty damn popular.
