Talk:Snowboarding

message: How about a section on the history of the sport? 
I'm not familiar with details but from memory and some googling here is a start:
=== Pioneers ===
* Sherman Poppin's - Snurfer
* Dimitrije Milovich - Winterstick
* Jake Burton Carpenter - Burton Snowboards
* Bob Webber-Yellow banana
=== Evolution and growth ===
* early snowboard designs...
* Snowboarders being banned some most ski resorts
* snowboarder culture

replies: text: The "Snurfer: was invented in 1965 by Sherm Poppin when he attached two skiis together, tied a rope to the front and gave it to his daughter to play with in the Muskegon, Michigan snow. He went to the local Brunswick company and got them to produce the boards, and his wife gave it the name. The first ones were yellow with large, industrial grade staples that stuck up far enough to get a good grip with your snowmobile boots, at least until you caked so much snow onto them that your feet slid off. The rope was yellow, the bottom was smooth and there was no rudder. You rubbed ski wax onto the wood, but it made little difference. They were originally marketed to be used on the Muskegon sand dunes in both the winter and the summer. Having tried that as a kid, I can report that the sand stuck to the wax, and if you got any momentum going down the biggest of the three sugar bowl hills, the snurfer soon grabbed hold of the sand and threw you bodily and usually face first into the hot sand. After a few years, Brunswick introduced the Pro Snurfer model which had a laminated wood design, and small white plastic spikes on the top which afforded slightly better traction. The rope was white. This model included a 5" metal rudder that extended out of the center contoured bottom surface about a half inch. By the mid seventies, Muskegon Community College sponsored an annual "World Wide Snurfer Competition" on a remote hill behind the Muskegon landmark "Blockhouse." If you got there early enough you parked in the Blockhouse parking lot and hiked back to the site. They put up a plastic banner and someone carried a folding table all the way out there, at which you could sign up and get your number - which you pinned to your cool 1970's snow vest. You then proceeded to practice on the hill with fifty or so other early enthusiasts. By the time the competition began at 9:00, the hill was a sheet of sheer ice. To do well, you had to stand up all the way to the bottom of the hill - which had two plateaus in it. Usually people wipped out after the second little plateau. The guys who won perfected a sort of push off with one foot while not slipping off the back foot and then holding it steady and straight on the ice. I was in that competition the year Burton showed up with his board. We snurfer elitists thought he was a major pain in the a**, and an enteloper and not a snurfer at all. His presence threw a real curve ball into the competition, who ultimately decided to create a separate Burton board division, so we purists could continue to compete as true snurfers and not be bothered by him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.163.137.254 (talk) 19:55, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The brands list seems completely random to me.  Random in both the order (who put Tassle, Airblaster, Rome SDS, and Grenade Gloves above Burton?), and the members (e.g. it has small, random accessory manufacturers that make only gloves, hats or goggles, but not major/venerable snowboard manufacturers such as Sims, Winterstick, etc.).  I made a token effort to put major board manufacturers up top and accessory brands at the bottom, but it's really hard to keep up with all the new brands that come up all the time.  Feel free to correct it. Kjl 21:04, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I'd like to suggest to remove the three sections above. The article is quite lengthy, and these lists are not useful to someone reading an encyclopedic article to learn about snowboarding.

message: Though I have read it in many snowboarding guide-books, I think the advice: "If falling forward, make your hands into fists and land on your knuckles" is ill-advised. It's unintuitive and a likely to result in broken fingers. The advice to wear well-fitting armour is sound, especially wrist-guards. After breaking a wrist and knocking myself unconcious (on separate occasions), I can't believe how stoopid I was to consider riding without at least wrist-guards and a helmet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.217.226.30 (talk) 13:59, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I learned at the time that you should always crouch, when you fall. No matter the direction, it reduces your falling height and thus the risk of injury. Landing on the knuckles seems to me quite stupid (and only works well at low speed when you ride a ducky stance) - I'd rather try to roll or slide to catch the fall. Just my 2 cents -- Ravn 16:14, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd recommend landing on your fists only as opposed to landing on your palms (you're much less likely to injure your wrists this way, and I don't think it's likely to result in broken fingers)--it's not meant to be the best way to land universally.

message: so i moved some info from the intro into its own section (construction), and then noticed that an article on this topic already exists. I propose merging that article into this one. If you think this article is too big, perhaps it needs to be divided into multiple articles, perhaps an article for each discipline, which would permit elaborating on different snowboarders and events within the discipline. trimming this article would also allow us to add sections on events, sponsorship, board types, brands, athletes, even culture (inc. prehaps fashion and music),  Maybe a wikiproject: snowboarding is in order? or did i miss the boat on this one?

text: I think the manner of construction strongly affects the performance of the board, and the style for which it is designed. In fact, different styles of board really only differ in construction. Something to consider. Of course, as it stands, the snowboard article is farily long.Shaggorama 11:22, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I oppose the idea of merging the articles. What I do see is that the construction of a snowboard article can still be extended in many ways. Discussing the Top Layer (and application of Graphics), discuss the sidecut construction (cap, sandwich, half cap), discuss the sidecut radiuses and directionality of a snowboard, discuss the importance of these to the style that they can be used for.

thread_title:  Vandalization of at least one copy of article 

message: Who changed the entry on freestyle snowboarding?  Snowboarding owes nothing to inline skating; freestyle snowboarding predates freestyle inline skating by at least a decade, and other than the feet being securely attached, the activities share almost no similarities.  A comparison between inline skating and skiing might hold some water, but this description of freestyle snowboarding is fatuous.
Snowboarding is often compared to skateboarding for a number of valid reasons; firstly, many snowboard pioneers were skateboarders as well, and so adapted what they knew from skating and applied it to snowboarding.  Secondly, despite the existence of bindings, snowboarding and skating use a virutally identical stance, and very similar body mechanics.  Lastly, a great number of skateboarding concepts and tricks (frontside, backside, ollie, 180s, 360s, cabalaerials, mctwists) exist (virtually unmodified) in skateboarding.
Whoever wrote the current entry is quite obviously, not much of a snowboarder. (Baoluo 01:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: This section doesn't make sense:
"On March 18, 2008 Taos Ski area officially welcomed the first snowboarders to their resort, after years of exclusion. Founder of Bonfire Snowboarding, Brad Steward, joined Transworld Snowboarding Editor in Chief Kurt Hoy, Java Fernandez, Ryan Thompson, Josh Sherman and a local advocate for the first legal turns."
It's not clear why Taos ski area allowing snowboarders is a particularly noteworthy event, even if it sort of links on to the previous paragraph. I'll delete it in a day or two, unless someone makes it fit in.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ManicParroT (talk • contribs) 08:03, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I changed "The development of snowboarding was inspired by surfing and skateboarding, and the sport shares superficial similarities with skiing." to "The development of snowboarding was inspired by skateboarding, surfing and skiing."
The first snurfer was made out of two skis connected together. Tom Sims and Jake Burton were both skiers. To say that skiing wasn't a big part the origin of Snowboarding is disingenuous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.68.115.166 (talk) 21:05, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The picture of two snowboarders holding snowboards really doesn't add anything. At the very least, any picture showing someone holding a snowboard and also wearing a helmet and protective gear would at least send an important message to those reading this article before taking up boarding.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.142.125.1 (talk) 15:24, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello,
My grandfather co-invented the snowboard. He and his relatives hold the first U.S. Patent issued in 1939 which is before the "snurfer" hit the scene.
For more information visit http://snowboarding.transworld.net/1000116837/featuresobf/the-very-first-snowboard/ or you can Google 'Burgeson snowboard' for more information. Also, feel free to contact me should you require additional information for your update.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.122.86.121 (talk) 19:37, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

message: There is not a mention of FIS Snowboarding World Championships. Surely they is not as appreciated as X Games, but I think those should be mentioned, since they are the official world championships.

message: it would seem to be relevant, and very interesting, to the history section to discuss how exactly snowboarding became an olympic sport, especially considering how controversial the sport was originally. of course, good sources might be difficult to acquire since this is a global professional organization. 184.74.68.181 (talk) 16:49, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Question might sound dumb, but both the caption of the Pic of the Day above and the article's lead say "...attaches to a rider's feet using a special boot set onto mounted binding". So, multiple feet, singular boot, singular binding. Am I missing something here? HiLo48 (talk) 05:46, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  How many feet do snowboarders have? 

message: Hey everyone. I'm trying to beat the ski boots article into shape, and it's currently lacking any images of snowboarding boots. There's nothing over on the commons that I can find -- but the search there is not exactly very useful. So if anyone has some good images of their boots I'd love to use them. Boots, legs in boots, boots in bindings, it's all good. Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:28, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Boot images 

message: As the headline says should this Wikipedia article be promoting particular products?  Seems odd when many other innovations have been overlooked like the Flow binding system and split boards.
From my experience this sort of binding setup is rare and shouldn't be in the article.  If I'm wrong that's fine! I just wanted to raise it as a potential issue.

replies: text: It is in context with the discussion on injuries from the fixed stance, so I see reason to mention an adjustable stance binding, and the only reason I'd see a reason to add a manufacturers name would be for someone to look up what they are if they are confused about the product because it is so rare.  Maybe this should be worded different with a reference to the Snowboard page and more information on the adjustable stance binding or devices on that page?  A brief touch on the fact that a lot of the injuries are due to fixed stance but that adjustable stance options are available to help overcome this and possibly a citation to a refrence on the snowboard page?  What are your thoughts on that? OlafBerserker (talk) 20:47, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is Quick Stance important enough to be in this article? Seems like product promotion for a barely used product. 

message: I'm editing some sections to begin with a basic 10th grade-level thesis statement and I want people to stop undo-ing them.
I did *not* delete any long-winded definitions...I simply added a few non-inflamitory sentences that communicate to a general reader the essential idea of the paragraph or section. These edits should be completely agreeable to anyone who knows snowboarding at all or has a Literature major.
I absolutely will not discuss these changes further. I let them stand for themselves and I trust the community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.5.245.156 (talk) 08:14, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: pedantic grammar nazis have no place here

message: I'd like to suggest a basic re-grouping of main points and sub-points. As of this writing, 'slopestyle' and 'boarder-cross' are in the 'styles' main section, and not the 'competitions' section.
You get the idea...jibbing, freestyle, alpine, freeride, etc are obviously 'styles'. Rail jam, slopestyle, big air, and the different types of races are obviously 'competitions'.
BTW to clear up any confusion, YES freestyle techniques are used in racing, re: The last 30 seconds of Seth Wescott's gold medal run in the 2006 Olympics where he, and I quote from the interview afterwards (wish I had a link) "Rode the top of the curve like a freestyle skater in a bowl" positioning himself to cut off the leading rider to win first at the last second...therefore 'slopestyle' and 'boardercross' are types of racing events not 'styles'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.5.245.156 (talk) 08:43, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  history of first jumps 

message: The first time I ever saw a snowboarder was in 1979 at Crested Butte. The first championship had been in Vermont the prior year.
I’ve always been a skier but I’ll always remember watching skiers get Max error at that competition. But more exciting was watching a snowboarder do a triple back corkscrew. Then I didn’t even know what that meant. 
It seems snowboarding history is filled with a lot of incomplete information and claims that we were the first. I wish this Could include more information. 2601:204:C100:9590:89A9:5615:5F9B:6E63 (talk) 01:58, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

message: Some editors are in gross violation of NPV and are trying to edit this page in a biased way. This is an anti-USA bias and it is clear that NPV does not matter to these editors. They are attempting to rewrite the page to indicate snowboarding was not invented in Michigan and then perfected by Burton and Sims. The fallacious edits over-emphasize what is essentially some dudes in Wales who tied strings to their skateboards.
Snowboarding was invented and modernized in the USA, it's just a flat fact. Snurfer started in, Burton and Sims perfected it. That's the story and anything else absolutely must be rejected. 76.138.248.64 (talk) 17:35, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
