__Surfing on Snow__ By Zach M.    Because snowboarding is so athletic and popular, it is in the Olympics. Snowboarding is a sport that is a carbonation of surfing, skateboarding and skiing. It is one of the newest addition to the winter Olympic games. Some of snowboarding's history is like ho the first snowboarding competition was in held in Colorado in 1981. Snowboarding was created to be like surfing on the snow. There are many tricks that people do on a snowboard in the Olympics. One of the easiest tricks that you can do is a 180 (180 air) which is a half of a turn, on the board, in the air. One of the harder tricks is a Wet Cat. A wet cat is an inverted aerial when the boarder puts his foot on the wall and turns 900 degrees in a back motion and landing on the board going forward. A Snowboarder has a lot of gear that he/she wears when they ride. They use helmets, special goggles, the board, the bindings, and their boots. To sum it up, that is all about the sport of snowboarding.
