I moved the duplicate article at snow boarding to here (in stead of the other way round), since it also wrote snowboarding in the text. Jeronimo 00:21 Jul 26, 2002 (PDT)
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:
- Redjar 19:44, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
It would be perhaps helpful if someone could write a section or two about snowboard terms like regular style, goofy style, fakie position et cetera.
Other specific snowboarding accessories like the leash (snowboard) or lockleash should be mentioned as well... Marcika 22:06, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I suggest removing the two pictures of some guy carrying a snowboard from this article.. IMHO they are not useful at all: They do not depict any snowboarding technique, and the board itself is barely visible. Please comment, otherwise I am going to remove the pictures soon. -- Ravn 10:20, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
I'm thinking about revising this entry as a whole. It doesn't read like an Encyclopedic entry, and has various grammatical errors.

The discussion of equipment duplicates a lot of information in the Snowboard article. Would it make more sense to merge that information and eliminate any duplication or redundancy? -- Elkman 21:09, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
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)
The technique section is very conversationally written, and perhaps is not really in the scope of an encyclopedic entry anyways. Should this whole section be nuked? Proper technique, even for the basics, is widely varying depending on who you talk to. Should this article teach Swiss CERN style, AASI style, or something else? Rotation or counterrotation turns? There are external links to a couple of "how-to" web pages at the bottom, and people should really be learning how to ski and board from a certified instructor anyways, in my opinion... Kjl 04:15, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
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. At the limit, they could be moved to articles of their own (List of..). As some snowboarders have got articles, I'd suggest to add them to a Category:Snowboard athlete or Category:Snowboarder and link to that category in this article. -- Ravn 12:56, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
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)
I'm undoing the (re)addition of the "Carving" section from the "Disciplines" list, as it is already covered under "Alpine". Also, there were a whole bunch of changes in that revision (by Vert, 20 Nov 2005) that reintroduced some typos, bad grammar, bad wikipedia style, etc. from a very old version of this article, so I'm going to assume most of that was an accidental copy-paste or some such from an old copy of the article or something. I'm mostly undoing those edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KJL ( talk • contribs) 22:41, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
The problem with this topic is the kind of people it appeals to: they want to be experts but some have doubtless never seen snow.
So many deletions, poor edits, lack of real understanding of snowboarding.
People with nothing to add, so they come back time and again to "improve" the article by deleting or editing other people's contributions!
e.g. "carving is already covered under alpine" so I'm nuking this section!
Great, carving isn't a very important topic! Let's talk more about coool boards, "dude"! Rad man!
Vert 21:26, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
hiya i have a problem with this section from the backcountry part "Today, backcountry snowboarding is often for those who have enough to cash to afford trips to Alaska or the mountain ranges of the West" this point of view tottally ignores the fact that the rest of the world apart from USA [yes we do exist] enjoy snowboarding — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.37.56.90 ( talk) 13:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
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? Shaggorama 07:55, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
i disagree totally the act of making a snowboard and snowboarding are entirely different simply the snowboard construction article should be expanded i.e. i oppose the merger — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.37.56.8 ( talk) 14:29, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

The picture links in this article are broken. Does anyone know how to fix it? If not some new pictures should be put on. 206.183.140.125 15:26, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
A whole lot of this article sounds like it was written by people who have been snowboarding and have an opinion; but that's not encyclopedic, everything needs to come from a verifiable reference. I see only one reference down at the bottom of this article and it's obvious that most of the material in this article didn't come from there. The tone of the article is also a problem, especially in places where it reads like a "how-to" guide ("In places where almost all of the runs are groomed, and powder is a rare find, you must venture into the tree trails"). — Cleared as filed. 14:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Given that this is now an Olympic sport, someone needs to write a section on competition snowboarding that covers rules, point system (?) etc. soverman 22:37 21 Feb 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't seem germaine (less informative than instructive) and only adds to the lengthiness. You don't see anything like this is surfing/skateboarding/etc. Too similar to the "technique" section that got nuked. Think it would be better a link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.130.137.131 ( talk) 21:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
I removed the getting started section. Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. [ [1]] This section was very long compared to the length of the rest of the article, and the information could be obtained better by visitng another website. Stephenbez 22:09, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
whats with the line "This gives boarders slower speeds, high landing impacts, quick turns, and imperfect landings."
sounds like hostility to me (a dedicated expert snowboarder, ask me q's for this article at alex_mul(at)hotmail.com). high impact landings? well what do you think happens when you fly off a 20 foot tall jump... alex 207.233.32.18 19:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
This article was terrible, so I re-wrote some of this article to change the tone back to sound like an encyclopedia. I'm also suggesting that we get a better photo of a snowboard setup, and maybe include a slopestyle type photo. Volitant 23:17, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
the article went slightly haywire, so I reverted it back
ManicParroT 20:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I removed the list of snowboarding videos. It doesn't help the article especially since all it lists is there name, and there is no notability criteria. Maybe if a few of these videos were described in more detail, or why they are important, then it would be helpful to the article. I moved the list into talk.

I added a history section. This was taken from an old revision of the snowboard article: Revision as of 02:47, 3 December 2006. This section needs improvement, especially the first paragraph. Stephenbez 06:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
While there is a good freestyle section, there is no section that encompasses back country riding. I think this section would help show the more recreational side of snowboarding. Thehamburglar 04:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
The photo in the "Freestyle snowboarding" section labeled "frontside tail grab" is NOT A TAIL GRAB, it is a TINDY, which is considered terribly bad form by more knowledgeable & advanced riders. That pic cannot remain on the page and to continue to label it a tail grab is just plain wrong. -- Raoul Duke 20:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

On at least one copy of this page, some has inserted "GAY GAY GAY ..." throughout the history section and some of the initial text was replaced with the same. After logging in I was redirected away from that copy of the page. Just keep an eye out for it. Josh 16:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
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))
Wow. I don't know if anyone else noticed the "3 Cs" addition to this page, but I think it's really great! Who knew you could sum up everything there is to know about avalanche safety in just 3 letters?! I hope everyone that reads the article is inspired by the "3 Cs". I know I am. Tom157 23:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
This page lacks a basic overview of the sport of snowboarding. Most of the content is about secondary topics. There used to be more info the history of the sport, and different types of snowboarding in previous versions. This info needs to be added back. I'll try to do it, but I don't think I have time.

Hello all,
I would like to add a link to (link removed). The site has a wiki, a forum, and other resources. The site has information which would not fit on a wikipedia article (as the information might be too detailed), but is good for people reading about skiing, snowboarding, and many things under those categories. Please discuss. Thank you, Searles2sels (PJ) 20:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I was a snowboarding instructor in Breckenridge for 4 years, fyi
I propose to change the "Styles" section by splitting it into two categories
1. Recreational
>Freestyle/Freeride-riding on in-bounds runs at resorts, making turns, basic freestyle >Terrain Park/Halfpipe-riding terrain park features such as jumps, rails, boxes, jibs, and halfpipe >Backcountry/Big Mountain-all backcountry and out of bounds riding, snowmobile/hiking accessable stuff >Urban/backcountry Jibbing-all jibbing and rails done outside of terrain park
2. Competition
>Slopestyle >Big Air >Halfpipe/Quarterpipe >Rail Jam >slalom >boardercross >big mountain
I feel these changes would most accurately and simply represent what people do on snowboards and would help non-riders understand the different types of competitions. There is alot of misunderstanding and confusion, especially by casual x-games watching type fans and I feel a simple recreational/competition division makes the most sense because those are basically the only two contexts in which one would find him/herself snowboarding
other considerations and further discussion is needed for what to do with things like the snowdeck, and maybe a special section on olympic snowboarding —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.211.167.218 ( talk) 01:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Who thought of that? It was a subpar movie that wasn't really about snowboarding at all. Does someone want to edit that section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gleb86 ( talk • contribs) 22:47, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
"The most common binding stance used is the forward stance with both leading and trailing feet in positive degree of arc ranges i.e. +9°/+15°."
This is not really true, the most common binding stance for most all disciplines (except slalom and boarderx) is usually duck-footed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.158.135 ( talk) 01:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

In addition to reasons above, resorts don't allow snowboarders because:
What you said above are the main reasons, it's really an just a negative attitude towards snowboarders that is now unwarranted. Good luck finding credible sources with that though —Preceding unsigned comment added by RyalC ( talk • contribs) 21:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I feel like the history section could use some work. I did a full 7-page research paper on the history of snowboarding, and have tons of books on the subject, so I feel decently qualified. If there are no qualms, I will start soon. I'm new here, so I wouldn't want to upset anybody... Drippingyellowmadness ( talk) 20:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I've reverted an edit about the most common injuries. The ref used, although hardly credible, states "Wrist injuries are by far the most common of all Snowboarding injuries, followed by ankle and knee injuries." If there is a more credible reference that says otherwise, by all means revert, but the ref needs to be included. Cheers, Freestyle-69 ( talk) 22:37, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
I have removed material that was added in this diff [2] by an anon who also shared with us this gem: [3] in which they say the same person is both a 'boarder and a bowler. That's dubious on the face of it, (no snowboarder would be caught dead in a bowling alley...) even if we ignore the complete lack of any other corroboration. Epousesquecido ( talk) 22:34, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)

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. The mentioned ones seems more to be some kind of inside thing among the snowboarding community. 85.217.45.196 ( talk) 00:49, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
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)grumpy

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)
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)
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.
"Snowboard binding rotating devices are designed to minimize the torque force, Quick Stance[27] being the first developed in 1995.[28] They allow snowboarders to turn the locked foot straight into the direction of the tip of the snowboard without removing the boot from the boot binding."

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)
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)

It would be good to add "history of first jumps" like figure skating has ( /info/en/?search=Figure_skating_jumps#History_of_first_jumps). It would do well to show the evolution of the sport. 89.201.184.188 ( talk) 20:07, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
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)

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)

I moved the duplicate article at snow boarding to here (in stead of the other way round), since it also wrote snowboarding in the text. Jeronimo 00:21 Jul 26, 2002 (PDT)
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:
- Redjar 19:44, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
It would be perhaps helpful if someone could write a section or two about snowboard terms like regular style, goofy style, fakie position et cetera.
Other specific snowboarding accessories like the leash (snowboard) or lockleash should be mentioned as well... Marcika 22:06, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I suggest removing the two pictures of some guy carrying a snowboard from this article.. IMHO they are not useful at all: They do not depict any snowboarding technique, and the board itself is barely visible. Please comment, otherwise I am going to remove the pictures soon. -- Ravn 10:20, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
I'm thinking about revising this entry as a whole. It doesn't read like an Encyclopedic entry, and has various grammatical errors.
-- Alop 14:05, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
The discussion of equipment duplicates a lot of information in the Snowboard article. Would it make more sense to merge that information and eliminate any duplication or redundancy? -- Elkman 21:09, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
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)
The technique section is very conversationally written, and perhaps is not really in the scope of an encyclopedic entry anyways. Should this whole section be nuked? Proper technique, even for the basics, is widely varying depending on who you talk to. Should this article teach Swiss CERN style, AASI style, or something else? Rotation or counterrotation turns? There are external links to a couple of "how-to" web pages at the bottom, and people should really be learning how to ski and board from a certified instructor anyways, in my opinion... Kjl 04:15, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
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. At the limit, they could be moved to articles of their own (List of..). As some snowboarders have got articles, I'd suggest to add them to a Category:Snowboard athlete or Category:Snowboarder and link to that category in this article. -- Ravn 12:56, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
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)
I'm undoing the (re)addition of the "Carving" section from the "Disciplines" list, as it is already covered under "Alpine". Also, there were a whole bunch of changes in that revision (by Vert, 20 Nov 2005) that reintroduced some typos, bad grammar, bad wikipedia style, etc. from a very old version of this article, so I'm going to assume most of that was an accidental copy-paste or some such from an old copy of the article or something. I'm mostly undoing those edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KJL ( talk • contribs) 22:41, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
The problem with this topic is the kind of people it appeals to: they want to be experts but some have doubtless never seen snow.
So many deletions, poor edits, lack of real understanding of snowboarding.
People with nothing to add, so they come back time and again to "improve" the article by deleting or editing other people's contributions!
e.g. "carving is already covered under alpine" so I'm nuking this section!
Great, carving isn't a very important topic! Let's talk more about coool boards, "dude"! Rad man!
Vert 21:26, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
hiya i have a problem with this section from the backcountry part "Today, backcountry snowboarding is often for those who have enough to cash to afford trips to Alaska or the mountain ranges of the West" this point of view tottally ignores the fact that the rest of the world apart from USA [yes we do exist] enjoy snowboarding — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.37.56.90 ( talk) 13:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
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? Shaggorama 07:55, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
i disagree totally the act of making a snowboard and snowboarding are entirely different simply the snowboard construction article should be expanded i.e. i oppose the merger — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.37.56.8 ( talk) 14:29, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

The picture links in this article are broken. Does anyone know how to fix it? If not some new pictures should be put on. 206.183.140.125 15:26, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
A whole lot of this article sounds like it was written by people who have been snowboarding and have an opinion; but that's not encyclopedic, everything needs to come from a verifiable reference. I see only one reference down at the bottom of this article and it's obvious that most of the material in this article didn't come from there. The tone of the article is also a problem, especially in places where it reads like a "how-to" guide ("In places where almost all of the runs are groomed, and powder is a rare find, you must venture into the tree trails"). — Cleared as filed. 14:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Given that this is now an Olympic sport, someone needs to write a section on competition snowboarding that covers rules, point system (?) etc. soverman 22:37 21 Feb 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't seem germaine (less informative than instructive) and only adds to the lengthiness. You don't see anything like this is surfing/skateboarding/etc. Too similar to the "technique" section that got nuked. Think it would be better a link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.130.137.131 ( talk) 21:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
I removed the getting started section. Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. [ [1]] This section was very long compared to the length of the rest of the article, and the information could be obtained better by visitng another website. Stephenbez 22:09, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
whats with the line "This gives boarders slower speeds, high landing impacts, quick turns, and imperfect landings."
sounds like hostility to me (a dedicated expert snowboarder, ask me q's for this article at alex_mul(at)hotmail.com). high impact landings? well what do you think happens when you fly off a 20 foot tall jump... alex 207.233.32.18 19:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
This article was terrible, so I re-wrote some of this article to change the tone back to sound like an encyclopedia. I'm also suggesting that we get a better photo of a snowboard setup, and maybe include a slopestyle type photo. Volitant 23:17, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
the article went slightly haywire, so I reverted it back
ManicParroT 20:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I removed the list of snowboarding videos. It doesn't help the article especially since all it lists is there name, and there is no notability criteria. Maybe if a few of these videos were described in more detail, or why they are important, then it would be helpful to the article. I moved the list into talk.

I added a history section. This was taken from an old revision of the snowboard article: Revision as of 02:47, 3 December 2006. This section needs improvement, especially the first paragraph. Stephenbez 06:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
While there is a good freestyle section, there is no section that encompasses back country riding. I think this section would help show the more recreational side of snowboarding. Thehamburglar 04:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
The photo in the "Freestyle snowboarding" section labeled "frontside tail grab" is NOT A TAIL GRAB, it is a TINDY, which is considered terribly bad form by more knowledgeable & advanced riders. That pic cannot remain on the page and to continue to label it a tail grab is just plain wrong. -- Raoul Duke 20:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

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))
Wow. I don't know if anyone else noticed the "3 Cs" addition to this page, but I think it's really great! Who knew you could sum up everything there is to know about avalanche safety in just 3 letters?! I hope everyone that reads the article is inspired by the "3 Cs". I know I am. Tom157 23:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
This page lacks a basic overview of the sport of snowboarding. Most of the content is about secondary topics. There used to be more info the history of the sport, and different types of snowboarding in previous versions. This info needs to be added back. I'll try to do it, but I don't think I have time.

Hello all,
I would like to add a link to (link removed). The site has a wiki, a forum, and other resources.

I was a snowboarding instructor in Breckenridge for 4 years, fyi
I propose to change the "Styles" section by splitting it into two categories
1. Recreational
>Freestyle/Freeride-riding on in-bounds runs at resorts, making turns, basic freestyle >Terrain Park/Halfpipe-riding terrain park features such as jumps, rails, boxes, jibs, and halfpipe >Backcountry/Big Mountain-all backcountry and out of bounds riding, snowmobile/hiking accessable stuff >Urban/backcountry Jibbing-all jibbing and rails done outside of terrain park
2. Competition
>Slopestyle >Big Air >Halfpipe/Quarterpipe >Rail Jam >slalom >boardercross >big mountain
I feel these changes would most accurately and simply represent what people do on snowboards and would help non-riders understand the different types of competitions. There is alot of misunderstanding and confusion, especially by casual x-games watching type fans and I feel a simple recreational/competition division makes the most sense because those are basically the only two contexts in which one would find him/herself snowboarding
other considerations and further discussion is needed for what to do with things like the snowdeck, and maybe a special section on olympic snowboarding —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.211.167.218 ( talk) 01:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

"The most common binding stance used is the forward stance with both leading and trailing feet in positive degree of arc ranges i.e. +9°/+15°."
This is not really true, the most common binding stance for most all disciplines (except slalom and boarderx) is usually duck-footed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.158.135 ( talk) 01:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

In addition to reasons above, resorts don't allow snowboarders because:

I feel like the history section could use some work. I did a full 7-page research paper on the history of snowboarding, and have tons of books on the subject, so I feel decently qualified. If there are no qualms, I will start soon. I'm new here, so I wouldn't want to upset anybody... Drippingyellowmadness ( talk) 20:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I've reverted an edit about the most common injuries. The ref used, although hardly credible, states "Wrist injuries are by far the most common of all Snowboarding injuries, followed by ankle and knee injuries." If there is a more credible reference that says otherwise, by all means revert, but the ref needs to be included. Cheers, Freestyle-69 ( talk) 22:37, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
I have removed material that was added in this diff [2] by an anon who also shared with us this gem: [3] in which they say the same person is both a 'boarder and a bowler. That's dubious on the face of it, (no snowboarder would be caught dead in a bowling alley...) even if we ignore the complete lack of any other corroboration. Epousesquecido ( talk) 22:34, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)

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. The mentioned ones seems more to be some kind of inside thing among the snowboarding community. 85.217.45.196 ( talk) 00:49, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
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)grumpy

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)
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)
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.
"Snowboard binding rotating devices are designed to minimize the torque force, Quick Stance[27] being the first developed in 1995.[28] They allow snowboarders to turn the locked foot straight into the direction of the tip of the snowboard without removing the boot from the boot binding."

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)
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)

It would be good to add "history of first jumps" like figure skating has ( /info/en/?search=Figure_skating_jumps#History_of_first_jumps). It would do well to show the evolution of the sport. 89.201.184.188 ( talk) 20:07, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
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)

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)
