1. Developed in the 1960s,
snowboarding is believed to have originated in the US, where several inventors
explored the idea of surfing on the snow. The sport quickly developed, and the
early boards were replaced by designs that are specialized to meet the demands
of different competitions. The basic design is a board to which the rider’s
feet are attached with bindings. The size and shape of a board varies according
to its use and the size of the snowboarder.

2. The term extreme sports is
generally attributed to the X Games, a made-for-television sports festival created by the cable
network ESPN in 1995. The success of the X Games raised the profile of these
sports. The extreme sports of mountain biking and snowboarding debuted at the Summer and Winter Olympic Games in 1996 and
1998, respectively.

3. The primary extreme sports -
skateboarding, in-line roller-skating, and BMX, for example - often use
half-pipes and urban landscapes to perform a wide range of tricks. The sports
also share a unique subculture that separates them from traditional team
sports. This youth-oriented culture embraces punk music and fashion and
emphasizes individual creativity.
