NS is an online community with the purpose of sharing information via the forums.  I agree the title is misleading but I don't live under a fucking rock, yes I know skiing talked about in places other than NS.  I saw this thing called the X-Games once?

"Best Score"? Neither of those movies have a "score". A score is written music made speifically for musicians to perform. In fact ski movies with music from popular artists are the farthest thing from a score. I hate to sound smug on this but there is nothing more whack than people writing the wrong words because they are trying to sound cool, especially when it's their job. Comeon ESPN. Journalism is dying, interNet drivel will prevail. Endrant.

BK, as a former student of journalism you have a valid point.

i do not understand why you say this, Nobody has said anything about the title, or about you living under a rock. I also have seen the xgames.

^ really?  I know no one "said" anything about rocks or the title.  It's implied in their responses.  This is the reason why I almost never feel the need to post in the forums, the constant need to explain things to people that aren't using their brains to read the thread.  For fuck's sake if no one is interested in what ESPN has to say about this years movies then don't post and let the thread die.

skiierman, you can use the internet as an excuse to be an idiot if you want, I choose not to and generally don't care for people that do.  But since you are the same person that claimed "2 million illegals left the state of Arizona" when they heard about about the new legislation, I already think you're an idiot.

That was barely a month and a half ago i'm pretty sure.  That was a great idea for a thread, too bad the only thing you contributed was creating it.  As I remember it, you made several other dumb comments and when myself and others refuted it with logic and facts, you stopped posting and the thread eventually died.  I wish I had more free time to check out more of your posts because all of the ones I have seen fall under MY definition of "fucking pathetic".  Quit using the internet as your medium for being an idiot.

Shit, an OG like five0 deserves more respect than this. I for one can see the validity of the thread because there was a link to this article on the main page of espn.com Sure we all know about the action sports part of the site, but when there is a link to an article about freeskiing right next to articles about the NFL, NBA, and MLB, I think that's pretty freakin sick.

i really dont know why you are freaking out.

all the first person was trying to say was that a lot of people visit that site for skiing news and you acted like he was making a personal assault on you or something.

i dont know why you quoted my rant on skiierman's posts and then talk about the first guy to respond.  To be honest I did take it a little personal b/c I was just trying to share what the espn article thought of some of this years movies...seems logical since IF3 was barely 3 weeks ago.   The 2nd reply was a tad bit more sarcastic than the first.  I just want to share what I came across.

Having said that, you have an excellent profile picture.  I had to do a double take because I thought I was looking at my facebook page.  It's been my pic for like a month.
