Living Dangerously

I think that in this days the most dangerous sport is the snowboarding. Now i will explain what is in fact the snowoarding and i will explain the history of the snowboarding.

1. History
The pure arc of a snowboard turn can make riders feel like part of a hundred-year-old tradition. However, most of us have watched snowboarding spring up before our very eyes, and the early origins of this young sport can only be traced back as far as the 1960's.
Sherman Poppen is most often credited with inventing the snowboard in 1965. As the story goes, Poppen fixed two skis together for his daughter to "surf" down the snowy hill outside their Michigan home. Combining the words "snow" and "surf", the new invention became the Snurfer, and went into production the following year.

2. Snowboarding marathon
The record for the longest snowboarding marathon is 180 hr 34 min and was set by Bernhard Mair (Austria) at Bad Kleinkirchheim, Austria from 9 to 16 January 2004.

3. Most Snowboarding World Cup Titles
The most titles (including Olympic titles) won is three, by France's Karine Ruby. She won the giant slalom in 1996, the Olympic title in 1998 and the snowboard cross in 1997.

After this i can conclude that the snowboarding is very dangerous sport and that one day i want to try this modern sport because i want to see what it looks like.
