You can see it now. Executives in rooms with blinds come to the
following conclusions:Since skateboarding is obviously cool and
skiing a bit yuppyish, what about combining the two?
Snow boarding actually derives from surfing and skateboarding - not skiing. Like surfers,
snowboarders are usually younger (23 on average) and live a tribal existence, travelling from country to country in search of the best snow. Ridden like a skateboard, it looked like a short, fat ski without metal edges or bindings.
One of the coolest things about Snowboards was that you could do tricks, flinging yourself into the air in 1080° spins, or doing oddly-named grabs like 'Flying Squirrels'.
