so right now on ns the majority of the kids are young and i always here people making comments about look who youre talking too a bunch of young kids. So in like 4 years when all these young kids become 18 ish i htink this iste will be very diffrent
i dont know what will happen or if the quality of threads will rise but i think that it will change this site

what im always wondering is if when i grow up ill jsut forget about NS, which would prob. be really sad and depressing, or if ill be one for life and show my kids...it's just weird to think that all this popular ppl. that post on here are just going to vanish one day

so one day there will be senior citizens on NS, Or are you saying that they will be "cycled out", or will we all be dead before 65. That would be cool to see NS going for my grandkids.

I've noticed a change already with NS and its really fucking cool. I've gotten a ton of help with school and personal projects from other people on here and I would assume that as the numbers of NS'er continues to grow, so will that support network that we can all tap into for help when we need it.

The internet is fucking neato!

being here for the past 4 years i know that ns wont really grow up. the older members back then used to say the same thing, only it wasnt as bad because there were less of the younger kids. now theres still a ton of younger kids and the young ones back then got older. if freestyle skiing keeps growing at the same rate, ns wont really ever grow up. only ever will if the sport stops growing so much

i wonder how people assume that nubz are always 13, i mean there's no saying, some act like immature retards but it seems like a person with sub 20 posts is always under 14, i dunno i immediately think that, kind of a steryotype. i've noticed when noobs bump threads from like 02 all the people with high post counts haven't been on in over 30 days, i think we'll just grow out of ns and leave our hours of time and our thousands of posts behind, i mean there aren't that many 30 year olds here

once you get to a certain age, you graduate to Epic ski. and ask about best resorts for my family, and about the best ski for gentle groomers for my wife.

ns wont "grow up" because more kids just find it and use it and are the ones without shame. Ive been on here for years, and while some minute aspects have matured, the overall ns member base seems to just be younger and younger. Maybe thats because im getting older and older, but whatever

most people on here are what 14-24ish? 24 is still young as fuck in action sports. im not wondering what will happen when the people on ns grow up, cause its a cycle, but im wondering what will happen to the pro's. like tanner's what 25? 26? look at people in skateboarding, pro's last till about 40 till they go downhill. and our oldest pro;s in the sport are like maybe what 28?
we dont have a tony hawk, or rodney mullen in our sport, so its gonna be wierd when like tanner, candide,jon, kye, etc.... are like 37 and showing up 21 year olds.
its nice to think that i still got like 20 years of newschool skiing before i start to go downhill fast. thats a long time! and its gonna be a fun time!
