This is the true test of NSer's power of community. Travis has 3.6 MILLION facebook fans, and Tom Wallisch has 93,000 fans...if he wins it's because Newschoolers is the absolute best.
the fact that this thread is a sticky is pathetic. in no way does tom deserve to be called the current best action sports athlete whether it means anything or not. way to prove to everyone how ignorant the general population of newschoolers is
I think it would be cool if tom won. 5 or 10 years ago it would have been unimaginable to have a member of our community representing us in the finals on a semi-pointless poll like this against other major action sports athletes. Just a small example of how our sport, community and NS has come along over the years. Sure Travis has nearly 4 million fans on facebook, but what percentage of those people really totally understand what really goes into all his sports? Either way, its good to see both guys make it to the finals in this dumb poll. Travis and tom both kill it at their respective sport(s).
Any one saying Travis should win get a fucking life. we are talking about a sports poll on a goddamn website. show your sport some respect and vote for Tom. If anything is going to give skiing some more popularity.
So true. Travis even posted it on his fb, and all the comments are like who the fuck is this tom wallisch guy, and why the fuck is he beating you. Haha too funny tom needs to win this, spread the poll like wildfire
I quickly peeked at travis's page before I looked at the tallies and I was like 3m fans, their is no way toms ahead, I nearly pissed my pants when I saw that it was like 40-60%
whine whine fucking whine.. shut up you prunes, I don't care what travis did at all, you are on NS and you aren't voting for the skier to win? kill yourself.
