Does Snowboarding Have A Future?

For many months of the year, much of the United States is covered in a blanket of snow and freezing cold temperatures. Many people choose to stay inside where it is warm and then there are the extremists that love to go out into the freezing temperatures and ride on snowboards.

Snowboarding has become so popular for a number of reasons. The sport has grown so dramatically in the recent past mainly due to the Olympics. Snowboarding has had a huge draw of spectators and people simple revel in the thought of being able to do anything that those athletes do.

Many people enjoy the sport because it truly is challenging to be really great at it but it is also simple enough that most people can at least enjoy themselves when they are out on the board.

The other significant impact on snowboarding has been the push for people to improve their physical well-being. Snowboarding requires a huge amount of cardiovascular exercise so it is a great way to get the people in the snow belts of America off the couch and exercising. The whole persona of snowboarding truly draws people into the sport as well. The sport has a great following, especially with the teenage and young adult populations, and that is the key market to make something successful.

Snowboarding will definitely remain popular for a long time to come. It is a great way for families to get together and share a common experience and it is also more likely that some children will go snowboarding down the hills in their backyards rather than trying to ski the hills.

The sport itself is not that expensive and all you really need is the board itself, and some warm winter clothes and boots. The popularity is going to continue to grow as the market continues to look for new ways to get people involved in the sport. People love the thrill that they get from snowboarding and it really only takes one good ride to make a person fall in love with the sport. Snowboarding is practical for most people, it is relatively inexpensive, and you can do it just about anywhere that you have a hill. These are three big advantages that snowboarding has over skiing and other winter sports.

When the sun shines for fewer hours each day it will be time to strap on the boots and head to the hills for a snowboarding experience.

Baseball Players Who Have Spent Three Different Stints With The Same Club

When he suited up for Kansas City after the trade deadline on August 1, outfielder Melky Cabrera joined a host of other players who have spent a second stint with a team. Cabrera had previously been with the Royals back in 2011, a year before he won the National league battle title as a member of the San Francisco Giants. Many of those who return to a team have been motivated by a desire to end their careers with the club with which it began. Just last year retiring All-Star Gold Glove outfielder Torii Hunter rejoined Minnesota, where he had spent the first decade of his playing career. A few seasons ago Ken Griffey, Jr., who spent his first eleven big league years with the Mariners, returned to Seattle to finish out his career. All time hits leader Pete Rose had done the same thing back in 1987, when he went back to Cincinnati to end his playing days with the hometown club that had signed him. Nearly every year at the trade deadline or during the winter meetings at least one player, s...

Bontrager - Never Compromise on Quality

The story of Bontrager is legendary. It is founded by Keith Bontrager, a driven do it yourself guy, who was a rider himself. He was also a mechanic, designer, physicist, and an engineer. He used to spend a lot of time in the dumpsters collecting broken parts, and dedicating himself to make better designs. This reverse analysis helped him develop a saying that went, 'Pick Strong and then light'. He had a reputation of making bikes with the strongest and lightest parts available. He always demanded that the parts be stronger and lighter but not always cheap. He never compromised on this logic and the customers to agree that quality is of utmost importance.

Many categories of Bontrager parts are now available and Keith now spends a lot of his time testing these parts on the field. The logo, which shows a B- dot assures quality and durability. They have undergone stringent tests ...
