What is Snowboarding?
1.
One of the greatest sports ever invented. Combines some of the most amazing aspects of nature with high speed, technical skill and bliss.
Snowboarding is as good as sex

Although the most fun anyone can have... ever... snowboarding is also one of the most potentially painful activities known to man. On a more technical note, there are three types of snowboarding:
Freeriding: This is your basic stand on a board and go down the hill type boarding. Doesn't take much talent... i'd say after 2-3 years you should have it down pat.
Freestyle: This is the most blissful activity on the face of the earth. It can also be divided into a bunch of subcategories...
-Park- Kickers and cheese wedges, park riding consists of taking air while maintaining a downhillwards (SO not a word) motion. While in the air, it is expected that you spin and / or grab.
-Pipe- Or half-pipe... this is arguably the most commercialised form of freestyle. It envolves going back and forth taking air on two walls of what is literally a massive half of a pipe made out of snow (but usually frozen as hell, making for some painful fuck-ups). Once again with the spinning and grabbing.
-Jibbing- This is what little kids who don't know how to ride properly spend all day doing. It's rails and boxes, mostly, but can be adapted to anything. Park benches, cars, roofs of barns (Jason Brown - Transworld's Technical Difficulties) Which is why it's so fun i suppose... still, those little fucks couldn't do shit in the next section.
Backcountry: Off trail riding, usually using a snowmobile, snowcat, or (if you're a rich sponsored son of a bitch) a helicopter to get up to the top of an unsupervised, unmaintained mountain, then riding down, a feat that usually takes about half the morning. The most dangerous type of riding, simply because of the avalance hazard.

Snowboarding has nothing to due with skiing, other than the fact they both occur on the snow. The story about the drunk skier is fake. It originated from snowboarding and surfing. I hope you assholes learn that! It is simply the best sport in the world! Also it is a great sport to show off to chicks.
Chick-Whats your favorite sport?
Snowboarder-Snowboarding.
Chick-Really? Let's fuck!

Basically the most fun...ever. The best winter sport period. Altho in response to "the angry gnome" I'm one of those little effers that just jib...because i have no place to go backcountry. So yeah, I wont say snowboarding is better then skiing...because i ahev never gone skiiing...but all those little 6 yr old rich skiiers on the hill certainly PISS ME OFF
Dumb Kid at my school: "Hey look, that kid thinks she's so cool because she thinks she can snowboard"
me: *flawlessly grinds a rail*
Dumb kid: *faints because of my awesomeness*
Other dumb kid "Maybe i should try snowboarding..."

The action of giving two guys a foot job simultaneously. It's awesome.
Guy 1: "Dude did you see Jessie give snowboarding lessons to those other two guys!"
Guy 2: "Yah man. I'd let her wax me up and ride me anyday!"
Guy 1's dad: "Ummm...she already ripped up my slopes!"

Snowboarding is the new skiing.
I am the only fifteen year of skier I know of, but my friends enjoy snowboarding.
