Among these things Logan is a Newschooler.
Joining the site in 2003 he has garnered a reputation for speaking his bold and honest opinions.
You’ve been a member on the site for a long time, how did you discover NS?
I heard about Newschoolers from Tim Durtschi in 2003.
Do you remember what you had been banned for on either of those occasions?
(Laughter) One was definitely for spamming tub girl and I don’t remember the other.
Lets just swing away from the tub girl thoughts…

You mentioned Tim Durtschi.
Yeah when I was younger I skied with Tim Durtschi and Zach Davison who went on to big things.

Newschoolers has always been a platform for meeting people to ride with.
How often do you get to meet up and ride with other NS’ers?
A few months ago I met Bakerpow and was a little starstruck; that dude takes amazing pictures.
Plus I thought he’d be waaaaay taller.
It’s always funny how that shit works out.

You were riding handmade skis in that video.
For those who are unaware, can you explain what you’re up to?
Well throughout the process of building them that chip faded away and it became a labor of love.
Then when I finally started riding them and getting shots it turned into an unimaginable level of stoke.
How cool is that?
What drove you to switch back to skiing?
Do you think you would be in a similar place today if you had kept snowboarding?
After a couple weeks of being on strike I took them out and instantly fell in love.
Logan’s dad knows best.

How long after this affinity did it take for you to switch over to twins?
Sooo wish I would have kept those.
Now that they have come and gone where do you stand on the matter?
So what did we really get out of it?
Nobody talked about the skiing and how amazing it was, they focused on the bullshit.

Do you think we’ll see some funding if any of the athletes mentioned land some big movie segments?
It’s tough to say.
Wallisch makes bank, and the awesome thing about him is that he helps keep 4bi9 afloat.
It gets AJ paid gigs through his video series.
That’s about the only trickle down I’m even aware of.
You were recently featured in a BBC article along with fellow Level 1 riders Khai Krepela and Sandy Boville.
Do you think we’ll see more outside exposure like this in the next couple of years?
Do you think that slope and pipe in the Olympics were an influence in that article’s happening?
Actually they weren’t at all.
Through a few connections they ended up with us.
Do we just call this one ‘Overcast’?
I haven’t a clue…

Speaking of active members, you’re definitely one of the more active orange names on the site.
Why do you think so many orange names shy away from NS?
For a majority of them I think that they just flat out don’t care.
That’s just fucking stupid.
Would you like to see more industry pros speaking their mind to the community?
From orange to purple, you’re fairly active in filming, photography, and writing.
The only advice that I have is cliche but whatever: be true to yourself.
Writing is boring when the author isn’t in love with what they’re writing about.
The same goes for filming and photography.

Any final words to the members of Newschoolers?
Work hard for what you want and don’t ever let anyone tell you that you might’t do something.
Thanks for your time!
