I like snowboarding but I also like skiing
Snowboarding is now an Olympic sport and involves going down snow covered hill with the board attached to feet
Yes.  It is more difficult than skiing in my opinion with one board and no poles
Snowboarding was inspired by skiing, surfing, sledding & skateboarding
Yes.  There is some great snowboarders in the Olympics
Its not as popular in the US as it used to be equipment sales have declined since 2007
That is interesting.  I prefer snow skiing myself
An engineer in Michigan developed the first snowboard as a toy for his daughters, I thought that was cool
That is a neat idea.  It is challenging to learn to do - it is more difficult than skiing I think
The first snowboard was called a snurfer, (snow & surfing) and was hugely popular with young kids
