I haven't snowboarded in years
I haven't either, it is a lot of fun though.Apparently the popularity of it has been declining since 2007 in the US, which is strange to me.
I feel like the decline has something to do with the newer generations using electronics to have fun instead of physical activities.
Well if that were the case other sports would be declining too but that isn't the case. Also, on another note, snowboarding only began in 1965 which I was really surprised by.
True but most sports like football, basketball and baseball are more televised than snowboarding
I think that's more of a correlation to the fact that it isn't as popular and its declining. Also it's so weird that the inventor's wife called the snowboard a "snurfer" since it is a mix of snow and surfer.
That's quite the name. The decline in the sport may have something to do with location since not all areas of the world have access to snowy slopes.
about a million snurfers over the next decade. And, in 1966 alone, over half a million snurfers were sold. Later versions of the "snurfer" were flat planks of wood with a pointed bent upward tip with a rope connected to help keep control of the board and later models closer to the modern snowboard made up of various components.
In February 1968, Poppen organized the first snurfing competition at a Michigan ski resort that attracted enthusiasts from all over the country. One of those early pioneers was Tom Sims,
Rio.
Following the 2016 Rio Olympics, Drouin began training for decathlons with the goal of making the 2018 Commonwealth Games team in the multi-event. Drouin said of the professional event change that "it's to get back to what I was doing in college, which was really when I was most confident competing, I kind of felt my strongest, felt like I was in my best physical shape, and I just have a whole lot of fun doing that. It's something I really haven't done in
