When Olympic snowboarders step up to the top of the half pipe to perform, the pressure is on because they know the world is watching. Even under this pressure Shaun White has three Olympic snowboarding gold medals. This makes him the most decorated Olympic snowboarder of all time ("Shaun White-Olympic"). As Shaun White competes, he inspires people from around the world to be the best they can be.

Shaun feels very proud of himself after he wins a gold medal. Shaun White feels that snowboarding is very fun and entertaining. He has brown eyes and red hair. He was motivated by his brother so he followed him to the YMCA. After that he started taking snowboarding lessons to continue his dreams. Some of Shaun White’s other hobbies are playing guitar, mountain biking, and surfboarding.

In 2015, more than five million people participated in snowboarding, making it one of the fastest-growing winter sports. The very best places to snowboard vary depending on the different experience levels and preferences of those who participate in the sport.

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.

Snowboarding is one of the most enjoyed international pastimes. It presents you with this feeling of freedom and raw power as the cold air hits your face while you carve down the almost vertical mountain face dropping over steep clips and carving trough trees. These are just a few reasons why so many people internationally flock to the mountains to partake in this sport. Snowboarding provides people an escape from there comfort zone by pushing them to take on risks they would never have thought off before.

Snowboarding has an amazing background and explanation of how it came to be. It all started with the people who surfed and skateboarded. They wanted something similar to do in the winter. Sherman Poppen was the creator of the snurfer (an early snowboard) in 1965. Sherman was one of the skateboarders who wanted to surf but lived in Michigan. One day he nailed two skis together and attached a rope with a handle to the front thus creating the snurfer. Sherman then called his friends, who were engineers for the Brunswick Corporation and asked them to make some of the snurfers. The Brunswick Corporation made skis, bowling balls, bowling alleys, and bowling pins. The snurfer took the world by storm, but people wanted a safe way to ride. Eventually Jake Burton Carpenter started making a new model called the ski board and this was the first company for snowboards. Jake Burton was a Stockbroker who fell in love with snowboarding and decided to take the risk and start making them. He became the founder of the

Longboarding is my passion. Even though i don't do it as much anymore i still love it. It give me a sense of freedom and adrenaline. My most memorable story with longboarding is when i fell of my longboard. Now for anyone that doesnt know, a longboard is a stateboard with wider and larger wheels.

I remember the first time I ever got on a board. I had to be at least 8 years old. It wasn’t even a real snowboard it was one of those flimsy plastic boards for backyarding on snow days. Once I got acquainted with the plastic board I finally went to the mountain with my cousin to shred on some real pow with a real board. I couldn’t have been happier.

I believe that every person should try snow skiing at least once. Snow skiing is a great activity with so many benefits, plus its really really fun! People of all ages can try it with the youngest person recorded being one year old. For me, skiing is the best sport out there and when I’m skiing it feels like I’m on another planet because everything is white from being covered with snow. Some days there is so much snow you can't even see in front of you. Those are the best days. It's such a great experience and I'll give you the motivators that keep me looking at the mountain peaks in July.

As consumers, we are very accustomed to finding products where we need them, when we need them at the price we are willing to pay. This has become such an automatic part of the buying process that we seldom give much thought to how all of this occurs. To put it simply, all of this occurs because of marketing. A great deal of thought has been given to your preferences and buying habits in an effort to keep you as a customer.

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

At the age of twelve I started skiing. Not by choice, but because my grade was going and my mom thought it was an easy way to get out of teaching me herself. Well anyway, after that terrifying trip I loved it, and believe it or not, I

Some would say it's like snowboarding, whereas others would say it's like skateboarding. I, on the other hand, believe surfing is unlike any other sport. Besides it being loads of fun and freeing your mind, it is also a great workout. Problem is, though, many people wonder how to get started and learn what to do. That's where I come in.

The battle between skiing and snowboarding has been going on for years. Many loyal skiers and boarders have fought for their style of shredding the powder. This controversial topic has torn many friendships apart. Snowboarding participation fell 4.5 percent during the last five years, while skiing grew 6.7 percent, according to the National Ski Areas Association. Skiing is better than snowboarding because skiing is much easier to learn, skiers have more agility, and skiing is much safer.

Imagine being at the top of the world, on a bitter cold mountain, over top of an enormous crowd. The lustrous lights are shining below on the massive jump created for the professional snowboard competition that will decide whether you win or lose the competition. I have dreamed of being a professional snowboarder as my dream job ever since I have been introduced into the sport of snowboarding. Being on top of the enormous slope and strapping into my bindings instantly makes me feel relaxed and puts a grin on my face. While gliding down the mountain I become focused and dialed in on my riding. Being a professional snowboarder as an occupation, I would compete in large competitions such as the X- Games or the Olympics to win prizes and gain popularity. The excitement from the crowd and the view from the course would give me goosebumps as I race to the finish. This would give me the rush of happiness and excitement every time I strap into my bindings to compete and make it seem like I would never work a day in my life. Competing in snowboard competitions as a professional snowboarder would be my passion and dream job in life all while traveling and being with friends.
