snowboarding

Snowboarding originated in 1965 when a man by the name of Sherman Poppen fastened two skis's together and attached a rope to the front of it, as a gift for his daughter, it has since grown and evolved into the extreme sport that it has become today. In 1977 Jake Burton Carpenter stunned crowds by attaching bindings to the board, also he opened Burton Snowboards later that year. From there the sport took off, with other big companies coming about everywhere; they all helped shape the sport into what it is today.
