Snowboarding Changes

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?

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.

After you’ve embraced the fresh snow, get the neighbors. Ask them to come outside so that you can have an even better snow day with awesome snowball fights. The more neighbors you have, the better the day.

As the last days of winter came, Mr. Snow was now just a pile of lumpy, lifeless, dead looking pile of white snow on the ground. I just sat there looking at him not saying a word. Charlie was there with me looking sad and mourning the loss of our snowman that we built. It was fun while it

I love when it snows because it shows that winter is here and a chance of no school. But, I also don’t like when it snows because it’s so cold. So I don’t love snow with a burning passion and I also don’t despise it, I’m somewhere in between and I’m sure many other people are too. A weird weather phenomenon that could occur in our area is a tsunami while its snowing.

Then it all just seemed to snap into place. I stayed in the moment and acted quickly. I had put in countless hours during the brutal winter. I flashed back to a particular day running by the community center on a hill covered by a white blanket of snow. I was all bundled up and decided to do some repeats on the hill that is south of the soccer fields. It was short but steep. Good enough to make myself puke. I pushed myself over and over again to limit, when I got tired I would remind myself “how bad do you want it?” Remembering those Eric Thomas motivational videos I would watch before and after workouts. I had been going hard and the snow made it much more difficult to go up it was as if my legs had turned to lead. I had taken a different

Things went like this for a while, doing simple drills that I couldn’t ever complete without falling a quarter through. The coach announced the end of the session, and I couldn’t get up at the other end of the ice, sprawled from falling against the white boards, I couldn’t get up!

When thinking about social issues and issues that were important to me the first thing that popped into my head was global warming. I know global warming is something that everyone knows about and is something that people are always aware of, but most people don’t give it much thought and the attention that it deserves. I chose this topic because global warming as a huge impact on something that I really love, snowboarding. With this project I specifically wanted to focus on the impacts that global warming has on ski areas across the US. I chose this as my issue because it is something that I’m very passionate about and is something that I think about all the time. Snowboarding is a hobby of mine that I love doing. If I could snowboard every

Perhaps the best tip is to ensure that you remove the snow properly. It might sound odd, but there are bad ways to remove snow. The biggest keys to removing snow is to do it often and use the right tools. Every time snow gathers

At this point, I never wanted to go sledding again. It was that bad. Snow coming down hard, it was freezing cold, and it was almost eight o’clock at night. I started to lay down in the snow, and pout. I thought, “This is by far, the worst day of my life.” I also thought, “Why did I not bring my house key? Why am I so stupid!”

'Tis the season to be snowy! Despite the fact that snow can be excellent, it can beyond any doubt act as a burden in the event that it has heaped up on your walkway and carport. On the off chance that you have procured a snow administration organization to blow your snow and spare your back the strain of scooping, recall these key focuses to guaranteeing your snow blowing organization can successfully carry out their occupations.

As I walked up to receive my ice skates, my knees began to wobble. I asked the lady at the counter where the ice skates were, and after I slipped them on, I tried standing up, but my wobbly knees and the shoe blade at the bottom made it impossible. As soon as I put my foot on the cold, hard ice, I felt a wisp of cool air rush past my face. I saw people struggling to skate, gracefully skating and people who fell down, but then got back up. I. Was. Terrified. I tried to take a step forward, but that just made it worst. I slipped and fell. But that wasn’t the worst part, I failed to remember that you had to bring gloves. The whole time I was holding onto the wall, my hands were chilly, which made it even harder to skate, not that I knew how to. I kept on trying the whole time and eventually go the hang of it, but I wasn’t as

Five years ago, I decided to attend my high school’s summer session to adapt its surroundings and environment before the school starts. In the month of Summer Session, I met a lot of friends that I know won’t forget for the rest of my life, especially Tommy and Rodrigo. Tommy was the first friend that I met and Rodrigo was the best roommate I ever had. During Summer Session, the rink would be open for students to skate every weekend. One day, three of us decided to go to the rink and skate, which none of us knew how to. I was able to skate when I was four or five years old, but I had never touched anything about skating afterwards. When I started to tie my shoes I feel really nervous, because I am sure that I cannot skate anymore. Before I

On a burning hot August day a tribe of people called the Kewanee were trying to go about their daily business, but it was just too hot. They tried splashing pails of cool water on their bodies, and even burying themselves in the little mud there was. The farm animals and crops were dying, people were starting to overheat trying to continue on with their work. Bodies of water were drying up and evaporating, and land was starting to catch fire because of the astounding temperature. Franco and Layla, the two tribe leaders, were looked upon for a solution.
