    Is Newschoolers a Primedia company? I am sick of your company's lethargic editorials on skiing. They lack substance. There is no detail. And the pictures happen to suck on this particular link. Your company has an ungodly amount of resources. Tell them to focus some of their energy on their internet coverage.

    That's bullshit Burke won, not the fucking ski... Give the athletes the credit.

    I agree about the article and photo.

    Look man,
    we're sick of your fucking spam. I know you have a lot of posts, and around here that allows you to get away with a lot of shit.
    But give it a rest and buy some ad space.

    Speaking of spam, damn near every one of your posts lacks any substance, and usually consists of you being negative, calling people out, complaining, etc.

    Not that Derrick (sic?) needs any defending in these here parts, BUT ... you are a jerk and have no idea who or what you are talking about. That is all.

    Burke was on the Volkl team, so she was one of five people who won. She just happened to win the definitive heat. When the Yankees win the world series, they don't run headlines that say, "Jeter wins the World Series," do they?

    Stompinlines, no Newschoolers is not a Primedia company, I just wanted to point you guys in the direction of some shots that were a lot better than what I got with my little Elph. NS.com is actually somewhat affiliated with our competitor, Freeskier. I'll agree with you both of you on the article and photo. I was up here on my weekend off and admit I spent more time catching up with old friends than covering the event. However, at the moment (7:45 pst, sunday) it is the only article on the web that mentions that the contest came down to a tie-breaker between Burke and Eliassen.

    Where do you guys work? And how come you're not there right now doing a better job at it?

    Maybe future articles should elaborate on the fact that it was a team?... and actually mention the other members on the team? All it says is Burke this and Burke that and Volkl.

    As if we needed further proof. Ninjas are sooo cool, and by cool, I mean totally sweet.

    dang - Look man, we're sick of you. Take that shit elsewhere. You must have been hanging out with the "tougher than shit" Newschoolers crowd to be slinging it so well. Grab yer sticks, go schralp some and simmer down.

    KD - keep it coming, even off the clocks.

    Those switch to half-cab round-house karate kicks that she was throwing were the shit. I'm glad Volkl won, because they had my vote. They fucking killed it. Besides, they should have onw for the judo outfits with the stencil of Chuck Norris on the back, alone.

    When in doubt, point it out.

    I work in hopsitals. Sometimes I carry a pager. I may be at work at any hour of the day or night. Either way, this has nothing to do with when or where you work. It has to do with doing a job well, not half-assed. I like to think that I do my job as well as I can regardless of what time it is.
