Perfect App for Freeskiing community???

Hey whats up NS, I don't usually post threads but I came across this new app and thought it would be perfect for the NS community. The App is called challenge me; it is a social media type app where the users, create challenges public or private and you if you chose to accept them you take a picture or video of you for filling it and at the end of the challenge time period who ever created the challenge picks a winner.

Think about how lose this could get if all of the NS Community was on it making both on snow and off snow challenges. It could help progress individuals skiing as well as seeing how far we can push each other to do stupid shit.

what do you guys think?

do you have to do the trick or post the vid to set the challenge? or can you just set a random trick and then people do that?

They should make an app specifically for skiing that has lists of tricks and each trick has a trick tip, and videos of people doing them and people can comment on the videos and tell the kids who are trying the trick but can't do it what they are doing wrong

It works fine for me, the videos are just cropped to be square. Thats the only thing that bugs me.

Why wait? we can still do challenges not involving skiing. Like cliff jumping, wakeboarding, skating, biking etc.

Just the design is a lot better. It looks better, is more intuitive, and there's less ads. It has some app store rewards too.

I downloaded both and Fight Me is definitely the better app. If we could get everyone to migrate over to this app then it would work out better.
