Another Olympic sport is snowboarding. The first snowboards were planks of wood tied together. In 1965, a dad tied two skis together. These were called snurfs. In 1977, a teenager glued a plank of wood to the classroom rug! Another teenager collected cafeteria trays and used them to slide down on snowy hills!The first snowboard shop was Burton Snowboards. The first national snowboard contest was the competition in Michigan. (1979.) There are lots of different types of competitions. One of them is a boarder cross.In a boarder cross you cross a series of obstacles. Listen to my next chapter to hear about the time I went snowboarding.
