Imagine being at the top of the world, on a bitter cold mountain, over top of an enormous crowd. The lustrous lights are shining below on the massive jump created for the professional snowboard competition that will decide whether you win or lose the competition. I have dreamed of being a professional snowboarder as my dream job ever since I have been introduced into the sport of snowboarding. Being on top of the enormous slope and strapping into my bindings instantly makes me feel relaxed and puts a grin on my face. While gliding down the mountain I become focused and dialed in on my riding. Being a professional snowboarder as an occupation, I would compete in large competitions such as the X- Games or the Olympics to win prizes and gain popularity. The excitement from the crowd and the view from the course would give me goosebumps as I race to the finish. This would give me the rush of happiness and excitement every time I strap into my bindings to compete and make it seem like I would never work a day in my life. Competing in snowboard competitions as a professional snowboarder would be my passion and dream job in life all while traveling and being with friends.
I am now a professional snowboarder that is with my friends at Mammoth Mountain, the local resort, preparing for the X- Games slopestyle competition that is a few days away. The slopestyle competition is a snowboarding course that consists of rails and jumps. To score a run in a slopestyle course each rail or jump
Alpine skiing is one type of sport in the Olympic. Specifically, racers who ski down slopes the fastest win. However, the competitors must go through events before ending at the finish line. Examples of the events consist of the salmon, a course that requires short tight turns, the giant slalom, widely spaced turns, and the SUPER-giant slalom, which has no turns and runs downhill. All slamons occur above sea level. Turning tight corners is challenging in the alpine skiing. The salmons get easier. Bobsleighing is another sport in the Olympics that relates to skiing. Additionally, athletes race down an icy track on a sled. The tracks ranges from 1,260 feet or above sloping down to 1,000 feet or below. Bobsledding requires control over the sleigh. In addition, ice makes bobsledding slippery. Snowboarding on slopes also consist in the Olympics. Furthermore, snowboarders ride down a course begins at an altitude of 760 meters and ends at 650 meter. The style of snowboarding depends a lot. Snowboarding takes a lot of hand-eye coordination. Therefore, many types of sports need high elevation and snow or

Omg! I am going to have so much fun snowboarding! Today in my life I am at a super cool place. It’s in the UP and it’s called Ski Brule. It has all the snow hills you could possibly think about. I could never stop imagine me going down the hill and be so proud of me. But hopefully I don’t break any bones in my body. Because I still have basketball in the winter. But after I just took a soft energize nap. Then… We arrived. OM to the G! It was exactly what I imagined. The people gliding through the snow with their cool snowboards and their ski’s.
Snowboarding has an amazing background and explanation of how it came to be. It all started with the people who surfed and skateboarded. They wanted something similar to do in the winter. Sherman Poppen was the creator of the snurfer (an early snowboard) in 1965. Sherman was one of the skateboarders who wanted to surf but lived in Michigan. One day he nailed two skis together and attached a rope with a handle to the front thus creating the snurfer. Sherman then called his friends, who were engineers for the Brunswick Corporation and asked them to make some of the snurfers. The Brunswick Corporation made skis, bowling balls, bowling alleys, and bowling pins. The snurfer took the world by storm, but people wanted a safe way to ride. Eventually Jake Burton Carpenter started making a new model called the ski board and this was the first company for snowboards. Jake Burton was a Stockbroker who fell in love with snowboarding and decided to take the risk and start making them. He became the founder of the
Nordic skiing, also known as cross country skiing, has popularized over the previous decades. This sport involves several muscles working together to achieve the fastest speed while maintaining the speed for the entire race. This sport is very difficult and requires full commitment to be successful.
Now before I jump into this essay, I will first give you a background on the history of the sport. The original concept that the snowboard is based upon is the “snurfer”. Developed on Christmas Day, 1965 by Sherman Poppen in Muskegon, Michigan. In 1968, Tom Sims furthered the sport by developing the very first snowboard. Then in 1977 Jake Burton Carpenter developed the first bindings and changed the sport forever.
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?
I heard the faint high pitched beeping of my alarm clock as I opened my sleep covered eyes. I attempted to roll out from under my covers but immediately retreated as I felt the chilly spring air touch my skin. While I was mustering up the motivation to get out of bed, I glanced at my alarm clock. “11:00 AM” it read in boxy, glowing numbers. Had I really slept in that long? I finally rose from my bed, traveling down the stairs to make myself some breakfast. “Hi, girl!” I greeted my dog where she was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. I smiled to myself as I turned on some music, opened the fridge to retrieve some eggs, and turned on the stove. It felt like a fine Saturday morning until I remembered that I had a lacrosse game later

You wait in line for what seems like forever and finally you take your seat. You pull the paddle bars so they fit snug against your shoulders. You reach the top and then comes the big drop. You start screaming or if you're daring you put your hands up and enjoy the ride. I'm of course speaking of roller coasters. Today I'm going to go over the history, the different types of roller coasters, the mechanics, and the most important part, safety of roller coasters.
You’ve probably heard of ice hockey before, but have you ever wanted to learn more?
I talk to the kids about my passion for snowboarding and I ask them what they like to do. Some say reading and some say cars, and some say they don’t know yet. I tell them to pursue the things they like because when you find something you love, doing it gives you joy like no other. If they haven’t found that passion yet, I encourage them to search for it and to try new things. I also tell them, if they ever want to strap a plank to their feet, I’ll be by their
