2. Snowboarding

I love snowboarding. I used to ski when I was young but I started snowboarding in high school. Jake Burton, who graduated from NYU with economics major, made his first snowboards by hand in his garage. He is an innovator of snowboarding and Burton Snowboard Company has grown into one of the world's largest snowboard and snowboarding-equipment manufacturers. Today, half of the people in the ski slopes are snowboarders. It is very much about the culture that is associated with skateboarding, music and rebellion.
