X Games

The X games took place this weekend and of course Shaun White won with a gold medal. Shaun white got first place in the Straight Super pipe. Shaun White has won this Gold medal 5 years in a row including the medal he just got this year in the 2012 X Games. Shaun White won the competition with a bum ankle. on his first run he got a score of 94. This score set him pin first place above every body else by a long shot. this means he wouldn't have even had to compete in  the next two runs. anyway, he competed in the next two and on his second run he got a perfect score of 100. Which is very rarely done in the snowboarding section of the x games.

Other bloggers say that he had taken first place while capping the X Games history. To be honest i don't really like Shaun White. He is good and all but he try's to be good at everything. He doesn't even give other people a chance.

Equipment

In order for you to completely be safe for the sport of snowboarding you need the proper equipment. for instance with out could proper snowboarding boots you could roll or break your ankle. Without proper goggles you could get an injury to your eye.A lot of people don't wear goggles but i prefer to because if i don't my eyes get all watery and its hard to see. It's a very good idea to wear gloves when you are on the mountain, you never know when you  may have to stop and fix your bindings. When it comes to bindings it is very important to get a style that shape to your boots. There are basically two different types of bindings such as clicker bindings and strap bindings.

For different types of snowboards there are so many you have no idea. You can get snowboards from lengths of 40 mm to 300mm. In order to find the right height of your snowboard, or which ever matches you best is to stand your board up vertically resting it on the floor and then, stand up next to your board facing it and if the top of your board is between the tip of your nose and your chin you're good to go.

Season Pass Costs

I figured its probably time to start blogging now. There isnt much going on in the snowboarding world of today..the weather has kind of failed me on my blogging posts. It's snowed about three times all winter. All of which havent been very much snow. The temperature hasnt been too bad but the amount of snow has been terrible. I havent gone up to the mountains yet this season, but mark my words..i will. A Season Pass at Terry Peak costs $560.00 plus tax while at Mystic Minor (Deer Mountain) a season pass costs $418.00 if you are 18 or older and $270.00 for teens. personally i like Deer Mountain more. Not only because its cheeper but because its not as crowded and hectic. Everything is more relaxed.
