Snowboarding Main Page Some of todays snowboard experts are people like Torstein Horgmo, Shuan White, Forrest Bailey, and Zak hale. For new tech in the snowboarding industry is Burton who is coming out with the newest and top gear such as S rocker and new ways of camber footing for the rider and under camber which gives the board cleaner carving. Also new innovations in goggles and the way they work are rising such as newer anti fog goggles. Also goggles which tell the rider his current speed, air time, and vertical feet the maker of this high tech goggle is recon. Camber types.

Flat or zero camber. Flat or zero camber is a common kinda of camber found in alot of beginer board. It is found in many boards because just like the name says it makes the board hold it flat surface which will help you when popping up to get air. Flat camber also helps you with carving because it will keep its edge the whole ride.

THE DEW TOUR- The Dew Tour is one of the biggest competitions of the year. It is composed of multiple stops around the US. There is usually 3-5 stops, and they are 4 days long, consisting of not only snowboarding but snowmobiling, skiing, and handicap events too. Snowboarding events range from the normal Slopestyle (long course full of large jumps and rails) to halfpipe (long sloped walls that are 22 feet high) and even rail jams (pure rail competitions). You can win at each "stop" for each event. Its based on a point system and after all the stops, there is an overall winner, winning the Dew Cup. Which is a very very big achievement, because it shows that you did the best competition wise, the whole season. THE X-GAMES- This is another big event. Basically all the same thing as the due tour, minus the multiple stops. Its one stop and one large competition, people all over the world go, and winning this event multiple years shows dominance in your sport. For me personally (Calvin) I hate snowboard competitions, I used to do them myself and have placed/won in multiple, but I enjoy the fun aspect of snowboarding much more than the competitive side. VIDEOS- Videos and video parts are probably the biggest thing in snowboarding. This is what pros do all year, this is their job, they film with their sponsors for that brand/teams video for the year. Videos come out in Octoberish and its a bid deal. Putting out a good video part sets you apart from others and can help further your career in snowboarding. Some of my favorite video parts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpDM4crFir4 (one of the most creative snowboarders ever) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OprCOLuUPzY&feature=related
