Hey everyone!

First off I'd like to thank all of you who took the time to congratulate me on my new position as GM of Newschoolers. I couldn't be more excited to work with the team, and more importantly, the community, to help bring NS to a whole new level. If you missed the release, you can check it out here.


Over the course of the next few weeks I'm going to be asking the community to tell me what you guys want to get out of Newschoolers. What's working. What's not. What features you want in the future. What contests were your favorite to view and/or participate in. What content you want to see, where you want to see it, and how you want it delivered. Do you have a batshit crazy idea that you want us to pull-off? Let's hear it. I think you get the point. I'm going to try and find a way to reward those who contribute feedback, but in principle, the reward is a better Newschoolers for everyone.

We're also going to be amping up our Social Media game with the goal of curating the best NS has to offer. This will be an ongoing process, so I urge you to follow us and join the conversation. If you think something is wack, let us know -- we value this type of feedback more than anything else. You can find us here.

History of freeskiing timeline page.

You could potentially pin NS news articles to this.  It could also feature other milestone events, major comp results, ski movies releases (trailers & rentals), edit releases (TC, JOSS, Chug, etc..), NS hall of fame (Plake, Moseley, Douglas, Shane, CR, Sarah, etc..), sponsor/skier alignments, and probably a ton of other things that I cant think of right now.

Exactly my problem. Try figured out what a like, Bio 7 is as a new guy, I have no fucking idea. A wiki would be perfect for this, as you could have room for lists of old tricks, but whenever a new one pops up you just slap it into the wiki (preferably with a gif of it being done). Wikis are great. I think it would do wonders for the sites traffic too if you could really get it to the top of the google search when you look for something like LIST OF SKI TRICKS or whatever.

Fix the search bar.
Make the mobile experience a better experience by adding everything you can do on computer like up vote individual posts, check your inbox history, etc.
Also some sort of notification system for when someone quotes you in a thread so you can reply if needed.

Ideas for video section:

-Thumbnail selector, a bad thumbnail can really make a great video far less appealing to be watched
-VOTD/W/M badges? Kinda like what vimeo does with their staff pick badges (like so: https://vimeo.com/blog/post:526)
-Some way in which you can go back and watch the videos you've upvoted, as stated previously in the thread

It would be cool if you could favorite videos along with having a categorie on your profile such as videos pictures etc that would show the videos you have favorited.
