How did everyone find out about NS? and what about NS made you want to become a member?

A buddy from my school Av-er-y is his username, told me about NS, and I decided to make an account to post in one of his threads, then I became a more active user after that.

My friends constantly sending me links to threads on aim. Hearing about it at the hill.


Finally one of my friend made me an account so i could post park updates. It was nice just lurking before though

My friends kept making robe and wizard hat jokes, so I read that thread and would just pop in to read every once in a while. Then last year i got a lot more into skiing, so i finally made an account. l

i actually forget exactly how i heard about it. i think it was my friend talk about how he checked it out periodically for news, and i really wanted to be a part of the freeskiing community like this. nothing made me stay, as soon as i made an account i knew i wanted to be a vereran member eventually

I honestly have zero idea because it was so long ago. I think I googled freeskiing or something along those lines. Maybe I was looking at places to purchase my salomon 1080's
