I'm pretty drunk right now and feeling so much love for NS. I've been skiing for 15 years but I've always though of it more as a recreation than a sport. I used to get maybe 20 days a season, on rental K2 escapes. I learned to ski switch on those and hit some little boxes and shit but discovering NS has really renewed my passion for skiing and helped me throw down in a big way.
You guys helped me buy my first ski setup, and for super fucking cheap. I love my new Ghetto's and probably wouldn't know anything about the skis or evogear if not for NS. I would have never been able to get my shit for so cheap, and would probably be riding silencers with a 3rd hand pair of boots that don't fit me.
My hill only opened a couple weeks ago and I already have 5 days in (after being on NS so much I decided to put a season pass on my credit card I couldn't really afford lol), got my 180's way down, throwing switch 180's, 360's, switch 360's, and some grabs. Hitting rails now too and I'll probably have 270's off and switch ups in the next couple weeks. All this shit because of newschoolers, and the movies I've bought after getting involved on newschoolers.
So thanks a fucking ton guys, this forum is awesome and has helped me turn something fun to do in the winter into a sport i love and want to really progress in. You guys fucking rock and if your ever in Los Angeles PM me for a fatty weed connect haha. Much love to you all and Jah bless.
