Introduction

Snowboarding is an extreme sport which is somewhat similar to skiing, but is also a mix of surfing and skateboarding. It is a relatively new sport that takes place throughout the world in wintry places. The snowboarders have their feet strapped onto the board and try to maintain their balance while surfing down the slope.

Snowboarders have to manipulate gravity while making sure that they don't fall down with their feet strapped to the board. Although many people compare snowboarding with skiing (which is also a wintry sport), snowboarding would be more similar to skateboarding due to the techniques involved and the type of equipment and stance used.
