It strengthens major muscle groups as well. Snowboarding provides a great aerobic workout. Snowboarding is a great way to get outdoors, get some fresh air and get moving in the winter. It works out most of all of the body's major muscles, especially the legs and core. Most snowboarders use the big muscles in their legs, such as the quads, calves and hamstrings, to guide the board over the snow. Snowboarders also use their calves and the muscles of their feet and ankles to steer the board. Snowboarding requires good balance, so snowboarders develop stronger core muscles. Snowboarders also tone their upper body as they use their arms for balance. Snowboarding is an excellent aerobic workout that gets the heart rate up and increases cardiovascular and respiratory endurance. It also burns a lot of calories and fat. The average person can expect to burn between 250 and 630 calories per hour, depending on the difficulty of the terrain. More difficult terrain forces your body to work harder to control the board. Snowboarding requires rapid changes in pace and direction, and it requires you to pay attention to the terrain over which you're traveling. As snowboarders become more aware of the terrain and develop the ability to make quick changes in direction and pace, they experience increased flexibility and enhanced focus and concentration. Snowboarding has combined fun, excitement, safety, and
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").

Omg! I am going to have so much fun snowboarding! Today in my life I am at a super cool place. It’s in the UP and it’s called Ski Brule. It has all the snow hills you could possibly think about. I could never stop imagine me going down the hill and be so proud of me. But hopefully I don’t break any bones in my body. Because I still have basketball in the winter. But after I just took a soft energize nap. Then… We arrived. OM to the G! It was exactly what I imagined. The people gliding through the snow with their cool snowboards and their ski’s.
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 is a sport where you can just let yourself go and be with nature up on the snow-topped mountains. Banning snow is a crazy act but in 1992 on March 30 Syracuse, New York outlawed any more snowfall until December 24, 1992. Snowboarding brings many people together and is a really great way to take advantage of the snow. Even though snowboarding has not been around very long it has sparked a lot of debates and thrill for many people and come along way.
Waking up and looking outside, the snow is several inches deep covering the grass, the street, and the snow-banks are knee high. These are the perfect conditions, for one thing, snowboarding. A snowboarder knows the prime conditions to ride and will do anything to make sure they are on the mountain ready to go when those conditions arise. In preparation for snowboarding, you’ll need to consider the temperature, where you will be riding, and what type of gear is needed for the conditions.
Collier’s thesis is “the new, the different is almost by definition scary. But each time you try something. You learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.” I agree with Collier’s thesis based on my own experiences I think if you don’t try something you will never know if you like it or not. When I first try snowboarding I was nervous to fall and hurt myself but after confronting it I learned how to stop and balance so I was not nervous anymore and now I really enjoy it.
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.
An interest, a hobby, or a lifestyle? Nordic skiing has put many tolls on my life. Through hard work and dedication; I have put myself in a position where not only would my application be incomplete without mentioning skiing, but my life would be unthinkable without it. To be a successful skier, there are many obstacles a person must overcome. Which all include an unimaginable prize to be won.
Why do I like snowboarding? To understand why I like snowboarding, you have to go to the root of who I am, an adrenaline junky. Going fast is who I am so when I strap my boots into my bindings for those pre-planned “speed runs” and the jitters set in, I know it's time to shred. Every season I snowboard, my skills continue to grow and I continually push myself to new limits whether it is hitting bigger jumps or going balls to the wall and going as fast as possible down the mountain. This seasonal
It was pleasant enough to be able to stand comfortably outside in a light jacket or sweatshirt. A perfect day to glide down a powdery mountain along with my best friend. The anticipation was building as I sat in the back of Mrs. Smith’s eighth grade classroom. In a matter of minutes I would be packing my gear into the car and traveling toward impending doom: Sundown Mountain, twenty one runs of exhilaration and danger. At that point in time I didn’t know whether to be excited or nervous. Snowboarding was completely new to me, not too much different than skiing except for the fact that my balance would be shifted differently. I struggled enough as it was keeping my balance on skis. How could I possibly be able to successfully maintain my balance on a board?
The physics of skiing and snowboarding are very similar. They both rely on a downwards pull from gravity. This pull is what turns the potential energy into kinetic energy. As a smooth surface (or two) pass over the snow a small amount of energy is lost to friction. The bottom of the skis or board zoom across the surface of the snow creating heat. The heat along with the weight bearing down on the snow melt some of the snow creating a film of water on the bottom of the surface. Some energy is also lost by through wind resistance of the riders silhouette.
The first time I’ve ever gone snowboarding at a resort was a lifechanging experience for me. It was the time when I decided that this sport is going to be what I’m going to do, I’ve always wanted to go snowboarding before. I love everything about this sport/hobby. I’ve always loved snowboarding but I’ve never actually pursued it because nobody would help me pursue the sport. Snowboarding inspires me to be better, do better, and live better.
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.
