One of the makers of the snow board
was M.J. Burchett. He invented it for his daughter as a toy. He made it
out of two skies and a rope and too secures his feet by putting clothing
on his feet. It was called a snuffer over a half a million people bought
it. He even made competitions with the new board even Jake Burton took
place in the competitions. He thought of making a snow board by going
down a hill with a sled.
Jake Burton was very serious about skiing. After breaking his collar bone
in a car accident he couldn't ski in competitions any more. Then a man
named Dimitrije Milovich started making snow boards and opened his own
business after sliding down a mountain on a cafeteria plate in collage.
His company is named Winterstick he makes several boards he even got articles
in the Newsweek, Playboy, and Powder. His first boards where made out
of laminated wood. He got the idea for his company by watching surfing.
Now you know a little bit about Snow Boarding. Bye!
