Richard K. Ms. Sacks Adv. So. Eng 27 October 2004 The Greatest Sport A snowflake slowly drifts from above and gently floats onto my ski glove. All around me are huge evergreens blanketed with snow. The air smells of pine and the fresh powder around me. This is the aura of snowboarding, the greatest sport of all time. Snowboarding is great for the human body, extremely fun, and provides breath-taking views! Carving through the foot-deep powder can give a snowboarder quite a workout. Starting at 8:00 in the morning and going until 4:00 in the afternoon, definitely provides the exercise needed for the body. Snowboarding works legs, increases heart rate, and improves overall balance. When carving on a snowboard, the legs maneuver through the snow. This is very difficult and gets the heart rate going. Snowboarding also takes quite a lot of balance. To stay on a snowboard, one must balance while going 20 mph down almost vertical slopes. Not that easy. All these things are what make snowboarding great for the body. Another reason snowboarding is the greatest sport is how enjoyable and fun it is. Hanging out with friends, the joy of getting big air, and just cruising down the slope all contribute to the bliss of the sport. Going to the mountain with friends and just hanging out with them is half the fun. Sipping hot chocolate around the fire after a long day of snowboarding is awesome. The joy of getting ten feet in the air, which feels like flying, is also a wonderful feeling. Or, just cruising down the mountain in a state of peace. Oh how fun it can be! Imagine a cloud slowly drifts alone in the clear blue sky. The snow is glistening in the sun like millions of little crystals. The evergreens covered with snow are everywhere. Beautiful landscape stretches out for miles in every direction. This is the beauty of snowboarding, the astonishing views. People come from all over the place to come and see the breath-taking views. Even if the day isn’t that great the wonderful view makes up for it. The great view is yet another reason why snowboarding is the best sport of all time. All these reasons, how healthy it is, how enjoyable it is, and the beautiful views, all make snowboarding the greatest sport of all time. So, now if you’re sitting around and have nothing to do, think about snowboarding and all the great times you could be having. |
