264 NewSchoolers.com is Now Independent - How it Happened.
NewSchoolers.com has been the leader in skiing's freestyle / jib / park culture since 1999. In that time it has been bought, sold and restructured by their parent companies more times than you can count on two hands. Even though they we're being passed around like "Pokemon Cards", NS was the "cockroach" that just kept on surviving the mergers and downsizing and restructuring. Now, the inmates are running the asylum as the crew has just purchased the iconic title becoming, once again, truly independent. We're joined by 3 of the new owners of NewSchoolers.com to tell us how it happened.

Je Paq literally launched onto the scene when the clip of his triple front flip off the backside of Whistler Mountain went super viral.
