A Summary Of Snowboarding

People could be seriously injured by a skateboard. According to Skateboarding Safety, “Sixty percent of skateboard injuries involve children under age 15; most of those injured are boys.” So more than half of skateboarding injuries come from inexperienced skaters. Most of the skateboarding risks are, inexperienced skateboarders. People who have been skating for less than one week suffer one-third of injuries, usually caused by falls. Skateboarders who do not wear protective equipment could suffer major injuries. Every skateboarder should wear safety gear. This includes a helmet, wrist guards, elbow and knee pads and appropriate shoes. Skateboarders who perform tricks should use heavy duty gear. Skateboarders who go near traffic or use homemade skateboard ramps. Both activities are particularly dangerous. Experienced skateboarders who encounter unexpected surfaces or try risky

When I was 15, that was my 3rd year of snowboarding, my ramp freestyle element went wrong. Just this one jump became the biggest challenge in my life.

Throughout time, the progression and evolution of snowboarding has increased greatly. It has gone from non existence in the late 1970’s, to one of the most watched action sports in a matter of thirty-five years. The upward takeoff and popularity of snowboarding relies on two people, Jake Burton and Shaun White. Jake Burton back in 1977 had the vision for what snowboarding would be, but Shaun White had what it took to manifest that vision. Evidence has shown that time brings change in sports, history has repeated itself with snowboarding, this history reflects the time & changes that has occurred in America.

Those familiar with skiing know that there are risks involved when one chooses to participate in the sport.  Those risks, however, should be associated with self-inflicted harm caused by mistakes that a skier may make and not unforeseen obstacles and dangerous situations.  The injuries sustained by Alex Johnson on the slopes at Bethlehem Ice Solutions (BIS) were not self-inflicted; far from it.  They were the result of negligence on the part of BIS who failed to mark boundaries that separates the slopes and caused Craig to crossover onto another slope, walking directly into Alex’s path and colliding into

As you can see from this graph, 66% of sports injuries occur in the form of diving accidents, while I am part of the 3.8% of snow skiing accidents.

A 6 year study collected data from 1432 snowboard athletes, identified as elite by their participation in world cup competitions. The study found an injury rate of 40%, with 17.8% of those injuries knee related (Major et all, 2013). That is, a knee injury occurs in 7.12% of advanced snowboarders. For perspective, the table above shows knee injury rates in soccer, none of which come close to 7 percent.

One month ago was the second time I had ever been snowboarding. The first time was nothing special. I merely taught myself how to repeatedly fall until your legs and hands are so cold you feel like one of your fingers could snap off at any moment. I would prefer not to recall that memory. The latter was the more enjoyable of the two and during this time I really began to understand the principles of this painfully limb-numbing sport. Each time I fell it was as if a teacher from the not-so-glorious years of the twentieth century had slapped a ruler against the top of my hand. It hurt a lot but after my proverbial hand had an imprint of inches one and two, I was finally able to piece together where I had went wrong in my inept technique. I corrected

In the AR article “Court Hears Icy Battle Between Snowboarders, Skiers,” I found that people and their ideas greatly affected the battle between the two sports. For example, the snowboarders idea was that they should be able to get permission so they can snowboard at the Utah ski resort. They also think that the skiers should not look at them in a stereotypical way, like saying that they are “reckless and inconsiderate.”

Whether gliding through once calm water, or shredding down powdery slopes, being on either one of these boards is a rush of extreme adrenaline. Wakeboarding and snowboarding both result in many similarities including aspect and motion. But each of these sports has entirely different aspects as well; including, surface terrains, locations, weather, and even clothing. No matter the differences and or similarities of both snowboarding and wakeboarding, they each share a rider with the longing and passion to strive at being the best they can be performing these sports.

Injury incidence was found to increase from slalom (4.9 injuries/1000 runs) to giant slalom (9.2 injuries/1000 runs) to super-G (11.0 injuries/1000 runs) to downhill (17.2 injuries/1000 runs). Although, when all disciplines are compared on an exposure time basis all disciplines are equally dangerous at high level racing. 45 % of all injuries in WC alpine ski racing were found to occur during official competitions or world championships, and only 25.1 % during regular team training on snow. The most frequently injured body parts were found to be the knee (35.6 %) and the lower leg (11.5 %), with a rupture of the ACL being the most frequent diagnosis (13.6 % of all injuries). Other frequently injured body parts were the lower back, pelvis, sacrum which combined had a rate of 11.5 %, the hand, finger and thumb which occured 8.9 % of the time, as well as the shoulder being hurt in 6.8 % of athletes. Head/face injuries accounted for 8.4 % of all injuries, whereas 3.5% head/face injuries per season were found to occur (Haaland et al.). These statistics are improving but the goal should be zero percent for all of these categories, even if that is impractical it is the ultimate goal. These statistics show that the faster the discipline the greater the chance for injury unless you ski each the same amount and most of those injuries are from overuse or strain and not from impact

Knee pads, elbow pads and hip pads - protects your knee, elbow and hips from any injuries in those areas.

Pick the right time and place to learn (good weather, uncrowded slope, soft groomed snow)

Their most fundamental mode of transportation was walking, a lot of their traveling was done on foot. In the winter they would wear snowshoes to make walking easier and would have sleds or toboggans to carry loads, which were carried by themselves or dogs, however not all bands had dogs. There were two types of snowshoes, bear paw snowshoe was made to carry for weight and narrow snowshoes were the easiest to walk in. The Plateau First Nations used dogs to hunt as well, while the Plain First Nations would use horses, as they were very fast and could catch up to prey easily. They would also use horses to transport people and items. To traveling on water First Nations would use canoes, some of them would also build special ones like the Plateau

Damien was constantly upset about the Snowboard Kids. The fact that they were humans and he was an alien angered him a lot. Every day, he tried to act as normal as possible when near them, but they kept remembering that he was an alien, which broke his plans. Damien didn’t know what to do about the Snowboard Kids. One day, he came up with the ultimate prank--to make them sneeze.
