How old is snowboarding?

Snowboarding began in the 1960’s.

When snowboarding first began, the boards were much shorter and heavier than they are today

Boards in the 1960’s were much simpler and did not use as many materials to make them.

Snowboard wearWhat you need to wear when you snowboard:

Some things that you should wear when you board are some hot chilis under wear (not the kind you think), a heavy jacket, some board pants, snowboarding socks, and snowboarding pants. I recommend all burton clothes except socks, they should be smart wool.

Facts about snowboarding

A man named Sherman Poppen first designed a “snurf board” for his kids. It was a skate board without wheels or trucks and it was handled by a rope and did not have any bindings. But, one day Dimitrijie Milovich, and Jake Burton, revolutionized snowboarding forever.

More facts about snowboarding

Injuries: In 1997 alone there were 37,600 snowboarding injuries and 84,200 ski injuries and17,000 of those injuries were head injuries.

Snowboarding tricks

Some simple tricks are ollies, air to fakie, wheelies, butters, and lastly nose and tail rolls.

Scary stuff!

Snowboarding is a very thrilling and fun sport, but it comes with many dangers too! Snowboarding accidents can cause major injuries and some serious ones have resulted in death. Snowboarders must be careful and always look where they are going. The most common way for a snowboarder to get hurt is by colliding into someone or something else.

What snowboarding requires

Snowboarding requires strength, endurance, agility, motivation, mental fitness, physical fitness, and a crazy, daring mind.

Monster Energy creates and sponsors events and boarders. It is difficult for

boarders to get sponsored by Monster since they are such a well-known

company.
