Random Board Thoughts:

Snowboarding has come a long way since The Summer of Love, 1965. It debuted as an official Olympic sport at the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, proving that it was no longer a fad.

The 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics fully launched snowboarding into the mainstream, dominating the media and public’s attention before,during and after the Games. Burton Team rider Kelly Clark captured the first Olympic Gold Medal for the United States at the 2002 Winter Games, winning the Women’s Halfpipe Competition. And Burton Global Team rider Ross Powers won the Olympic Gold Medal in Men’s Halfpipe, leading the Americans to the first medal sweep at the Winter Olympics since 1956. Burton PGS rider Chris Klug also walked away from the Olympics with a bronze medal in the Parallel Giant Slalom event, bringing Burton’s medal count to three – two gold medals and a bronze. A 2002 survey conducted by Leisure Trends stated that 32% of the total US population saw the Snowboarding Halfpipe competition – that means nearly 92 million people watched the event – and that was only in the US. Of that percentage, 18.6 million Americans said they wanted to try snowboarding after viewing the Olympic event. The 2002 Olympic Games gave snowboarding an unprecedented amount of exposure, showing the world that it was legit and here to stay.
