the evolution of our time.




Even though it didn't begin until the 1960's to 1970's, snowboarding has already became one of the biggest evolutions of our time. With many people switching over from skiing to snowboarding, or kids learning at an early age how to snowboard, it poses the question; why do people bother? it's a sport that has injure many people, and im sure many to come. according to taynet.co.uk, in just three short years, there were over 437 injuries from snowboarding alone. thats nearly 146 a year, in winter season alone. 30% of all injuries are directed towards the wrist, which is the most used physical part of your body. so why do people snowboard if this is so? since the early 1970's, people like Jake Burton and Mike Olson have came up with new ways to make snowboarding way more interesting. The sport gives you an amazing adrenline rush. snowboarding poses alot harder of a challenge than skiing does, and apparently people like that. In my oppinion I like how every time you get on the board, it's a whole new challeneg then what it was the day before. snowboarding has no limits, every day is a new adventure and you can ALWAYS get better.
