Snowboarding is a boardsport on snow that many people participate in competitively or just for fun. Snowboarding involves strapping your feet to a thin, sleek board and riding the board through snow over a range of different terrains. For leisure, many people simply ride snowboards down mountains, just like skiing.  

 

Snowboarding was created in 1965 when an engineer from Michigan named Sherman Poppen invented the prototype of a snowboard. Poppen’s initial prototype was a simple design: two skis that were cross-braced together.  

It wasn't until the 1980s that snowboarding started to become what we know of snowboarding today. 

  

Some of the most famous snowboarders of all time include Jake Burton Carpenter, Shaun White, Terje Haakonsen, Travis Rice, Anna Gasser, Chloe Kim, Mark McMorris and Tom Sims.

These snowboarders have influenced the rest of the world with their unique style, techniques, personality, professionalism and sometimes pure insanity.
