Abstract

Snowboarding is a relatively young sport, having been formally admitted as an Olympic Games event in 1998 at Nagano, Japan. Nevertheless, this modern sport has one of the highest levels of participation and is widely considered the winter sport of choice by the younger generation. Snowboarding evolved as a blend of many influences and features from skiing, skateboarding, and even surfing. This is reflected in the design of the equipment and apparel, as well as in the riding styles and attitudes.
