In 1980s, snowboarding became popular in America and then spread to Europe. The 65438-0983 international snowboarding competition was held in the United States, which indicated that snowboarding gradually became an independent competitive sport. The International Snowboarding Federation (IFS) was founded in 1990, and the first world snowboarding championship was held in Linz, Austria in 1996, with events such as giant slalom, parallel giant slalom, U-shaped field skills and obstacle chase.
Snowboards are generally divided into three categories:
1. Rotating board: The board tip is slightly inclined downward, and the board, especially the waist, is relatively narrow, and basically only slides on the snowy road, which is suitable for rotation and competition.
2. Easy-to-operate board: multifunctional universal board, which can not only slide on snowy roads, but also slide on deep snow. The front and rear ends of the board are tilted upward, but the direction is still very clear.
3, freestyle board: used for jumping, spinning and other skills skiing.
4. Skateboard length: The appropriate skateboard length depends on skiing style, height and weight. Most people need a skateboard that is close to his chin or lips. Zita Law or competitive skateboarding takes longer; Freestyle or figure skating is shorter; Overweight skiers can use a slightly longer and harder skateboard; Similarly, thinner skiers can use shorter and softer skateboards.
5. Skateboard: Width is another important factor in choosing a single board. Women and men with small feet should use narrow skateboards, while men with big feet need wide skateboards. The basic principle is that when standing on the skateboard, the boots should be flush or slightly beyond the edge.
