Snowboarding At The Olympics - 0 views

  • 1960, a teenage boy named Tom Sims was a skateboard champion, but during icy winters he was unable to ride a skateboard. To solve this problem, he thought about an ice glider. At first he came out with a snurfer. You would stand on it as if it were a skateboard. But the front and back ends weren't raised on an angle like a skateboard. It was almost completely flat, except for the front that curved up and had a rope attached to it. Riders would hold the rope to steer. The main change, however, was that there were no wheels
  • in his 20's he designed the snowboard
  • front end was lowered and there was no rope. Instead, one had to balance the board on the ground and in the air like the skateboard
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Jake Burton Carpenter who thought of the rubber foot holsters. That requires a snowboarder to wear boots and slip them into the holster. It was like wearing a shoe and locking your foot into a wheelless inline skate
  • contacted Tom Sims and the sport of snowboarding was born
