Hey NSers...

I have been through a lot of shit, and I have not been on NS for quit some time. I have not said a word since I shut down the Jibyard after the Dew Tour Party last winter, and it is still very hard for me to talk about it. I have always loved the NS spirit, and I wish that everyone on this earth lived their lives with the same passion and intensity that you all represent. Its sad that people loose that passion as they age, and I challenge you all to do everything you can to hold onto it.

When I started the Evolution Tour several years ago, I wanted to play a part in contributing to the progressive nature of the NS spirit. The years that I spent traveling across the country with my buddies hosting rail jams and getting to know a lot of you will never be forgotten. I had so many good times jibbing and just chilling with jibbers from all over the country. The common love that you have for progressing make you all family, and I will always be proud to be a member.

While on tour back in 2008, I had a terrible ski accident up at MT. Hood. The injuries that I sustained makes it very difficult for me to do a lot of things, and my poor health played a part in having to shut the Jibyard down. The Jibyard was forced to shut down as a result of a collection of issues, and I did everything my body would allow to try and fix them... But I failed

The Jibyard and the Tour were very special to me, and I just wanted to tell all of you thank you for your support and props throughout the years.

I wish all of you nothing but the best, and I will never forget your support.

Thanks NSers,

Brad Geiger

if you still dont know how to post pics, here is what i do to post mine in threads:

step 1: upload a photo in your profile into NS.

step 2: once uploaded onto NS.  when your replying to a thread or creating a thread you can click on the "Insert Media" button obove where you'd type (next to bold font, italics, etc.

step 3: find your picture(s) from the pictures. and Whalla! it should show up in your reply.

I had a lot fun at the rail jams/the jibyard and the judging in question wasn't a big deal. Keep killing it Brad

Its all good man....

Took no offense to what you said... I hate judging, and I am often put in the position to have to from time to time... There is not a doubt in my mind that I fuck up often... Thats unfortunately the frustrating part of judged sports and events, they are alway open for debate... I hope that I didn't upset her to much, and I hope she knows that it effects me when someone thinks I fucked them over... I completely understand and respect your opinion, and I was not upset at all by what you said... I appreciate your effort to make sure we are cool....

Its water under the bridge homie, and regardless if I am right or not tell your friend that I am sorry... Eliminating people from comps is by far my least favorite part of hosting them... Holla!
