I got someone to start freeskiing!!
You: How do you get to Chad's Gap from the bottom of Alta?
Stranger: man how many of you are here, the ski patrol blew it up
Stranger: is this like a mass marketing campaign?
You: Yes it is, I'm from www.newschoolers.com and we are trying to take over the internet. one website at a time.
Stranger: i guess it's working
You: how many of us have you encountered
Stranger: now i know what newschoolers is
Stranger: what's with that name though?
Stranger: why newschoolers?
You: newschoolers is a term used to describe people who park ski. i.e. sliding rails, hitting jumps, jibbing etc...
Stranger: I guess whatever campaigns you're doing it's working, your traffic is into 20+ k/month
Stranger: i always wanted to try trick skiing, but i just snowboard
Stranger: how many members do you guys have already?
You: skiing is way more fun when you ski park. trust me
Stranger: what skis do you use?
You: 2009 Line Invaders and 2010 Rossignol S3's
Stranger: last question, how do you guys make money from that site? you are obviously doing a big campaign, but it's really unclear
You: oh and right now we have over 100,000 members. don't have the exact number. and no Im not sponsored
You: we don't make money, the people who own/run the site make money. I'm just a member remember?
Stranger: well that's pretty sweet anyway
Stranger: great job on promoting it and raising awareness =)
Stranger: luring mor epeople in
You: you should definitely try park skiing. where do you snowboard?
Stranger: so i go to small piles around here
Stranger: sometimes I go out west
Stranger: sometimes quebec - st. anne, tremblant
You: Yea man Tremblant is sickk, I live in Vermont so I get up there quite a lot
Stranger: i heard vermont was a great place though
Stranger: or does it just get too repetitive skiing one hill?
You: Vermont is a lot of fun when we actually get a lot of snow. Vermont has lots of mountains, off the top of my head I can think of: Killington, Stowe, Mount Snow, Sugarbush, Jay Peak, Stratton, and the notorious Bolton Valley
Stranger: ah, yeah, i guess you're south quite a bit more
Stranger: alright, anyway, time to do some work, i might actually try "newschooling" this year haha
You: you should definitely try it. Its tons of fun!
