totally put on my NS. NS riders, maybe some pros who knows, but the crazy part is that i would encourage the text voting. instead of texting though its strictly newschoolers who get to vote. i mean then newschoolers cant possibly bitch and moan about the judging because it would be them that chose the winner. have a live webcast and everyone can vote that joined after some date. i dunno where im going with this but i thought it was a good idea

That's a cool idea!  They could use NSTV to get video of the comp or something so that a lot of people could participate.  It wouldn't have to be only NS riders though.

Because if NS doesn't approve, why even do it?

People will always bitch. They'll find something. That's what happens when your primary age group is 10-14.

Not a bad idea, but people will still bitch if the text voting results don't go their way. So instead of bitching about judges and stupid x games viewers, they'd be bitching about fellow NSers.

A WAR WOULD BREAK OUT

also... let's not forget to consider the large number of nsers that are exactly the same people that make text voting flawed to begin with... just because you have an ns account doesn't mean you know anything about skiing...

txt voting is just a popularity contest... durring the big air the voting was open even before they took their runs.....

oh no i meant to say that, instead of text voting, you vote like a poll on NS i dunno it sounded good in my head, plus it would encourage more steeze and less spin to win

no offense to your idea, but there are plenty of kids on NS who would just pick favourites.
if NS could afford to throw a comp, it would be sick. i would prefer that they went with real judges though, and since this is NS we could actually get some judges who really know their shit, instead of the randoms we've been seeing in a lot of comps lately.
