Snowboarding, an Increasingly Popular Sport
Snowboarding is a sport, which has gained in immense popularity over the last ten years. It was officially proclaimed an Olympic sport in 1994 and the first Olympic event was held in 1998. Currently 97% of all U.S. ski resorts allow snowboarding, which initially had been banned.
It may not overtake skiing yet but the body of enthusiasts is growing. Snowboarders represent 30% of the people who attend resorts.
Although an individual named Jack Burchett experimented with something resembling a snowboard in the 1920′s made out of a plank, the beginning of modern snowboarding is credited to a chemical engineer, Sherman Poppen who in 1964 crudely slapped two kids’ skis together with a rope in front to control it, in an effort to make a new ski toy for his daughter to use.
It became very popular with his daughter’s friends and the following year he licensed it for production. This toy turned out to be the famous Snurfer, which became a hot seller with over a million units sold in the next ten years before its popularity died out. The problem with the Snurfer was that it was hard to control and it was dismissed as a toy.
In 1969 Dimitri Milovich started making surfboards inspired by skiing down hills on cafeteria plates from his college cafeteria. He is considered a pioneer for his development. He was the first in 1974 to use P-Tex in the construction of his snowboards. This is an extremely durable thermoplastic, which is easily repairable and accepts wax for better gliding. Modern snowboards are constructed of P-Tex.
In 1970, Jack Burton, a Snurfer enthusiast got into the business by making snowboards out of laminated hardwood with the first bindings which made controlling the board much better. He also incorporated designs to make the board turn better and was the first to place graphics on the boards. His company is the largest manufacturer of snowboards today.
In 1977 Tom Sims, another enthusiast got into the business and with the help of his employee Chuck Barfoot manufactured what was called the “Flying Yellow Banana” which was a skateboard glued onto a plastic shell. They went on to incorporate skateboard technology in their products.
Those are the dedicated and enthusiastic pioneers in the 1960′s and 1970′s who developed the designs and equipment for the modern snowboards, which have resulted in this popular sport today.
Snowboards are about the width of a human foot or wider and are made of a core constructed of wood and fiberglass, although other materials have been experimented with, and a base made of a strong material called P-Tex which, depending upon the process used, is porous and absorbs wax for a slippery base. Sometimes other materials are mixed with the P-Tex. Edges are put on the board running the entire length to help with friction on ice and maneuverability.
The rider, using bindings and special boots stands transverse to the longitude of the board. There are three basic styles, freeride, freestyle, and freecarve/race although there is overlap among the styles.
The freeride is the most popular. Riders go down any hilly terrain and may perform tricks. Many types of snow may be encountered such as deep powder or ice so a stiffer boot is required.
The frestyle is more advanced. In this style the rider performs tricks using objects such as jumps, rails and boxes. These objects may have slick tops so the snowboard will glide over them. A more flexible boot is required for the required maneuverability.
Free-carve style, known as alpine snowboarding takes place on groomed runs with packed snow and focuses on carving turns as in skiing. A stiffer boot with binding allowing for quick turns is required.
It should be noted however, that snowboarding injuries are twice those of alpine skiing so caution is advised.
In the U S snowboarding cultures have arisen in Alaska, Utah, California, New England, Colorado, and the Pacific Northwest and competitions are held worldwide. Expect the sport to become even more popular in the future. You might even want to try it. Have fun.
