	Snowboarding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A snowboarder's equipment consists of a snowboard, snowboarding boots, bindings to attach their boots to the board, as well as snowboarding-specific winter clothing.
		Alpine snowboarding is the practice of turning by carving the snowboard (such that the board turns by using the radius sidecut of the edge), as opposed to skidding the snowboard (where the board is traveling in a different direction than it is pointing).
		When the snowboarder is ready to descend, the halves are mechanically secured together, and the bindings are repositioned for a snowboarding stance.

	Snowboarding - MSN Encarta
		Snowboarding, sport often described as “surfing on snow.” Snowboarders descend a slope by standing sideways on a lightweight board about 150 cm (about 5 ft) long, attached to their feet.
		Snowboarding gained popularity rapidly in the 1980s and 1990s, partly because it is easy to learn.

	Snowboard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In reaction, Transworld Snowboarding created a popular t-shirt called "Answers," which included the answers to many questions posed by skiers, including: "Yes I can stop." Many resorts did not initially allow snowboards and insisted on the use of leashes and were known to insist that riders prove their ability before being allowed on the hill.
		It is a myth that the height of the rider dictates the length of the snowboard.
		Rather, snowboards correspond to the weight of the rider, and a board length should be selected so the rider falls in the middle of the manufacturer's weight range for that model and size.

	Snowboarding - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Also, freestyle snowboards usually have a true twin tip, in that the sidecut radius is equal on both sides of the board and the stance is centered on the board.
		This is important because many freestyle snowboarders land switch, or facing the opposite direction, from how they hit their jumps or their tricks, and they need to be able to ride away with ease.
		Snowboarding is mostly done on either the heelside or toeside edge of the snowboard.

		Snowboarders, for their part, felt that skiers were unwilling to share the slopes with them and complained about the negative attitudes of some skiers.
		Snowboarding has a completely different pattern of injury to skiing - upper limb injuries predominate, followed by head injuries and lower limb (mainly ankle) injuries.
		The instinctive protective reaction in the event of a snowboard fall is to outstretch a hand to break the landing, thus placing the upper limb at risk of injury.
