As for me, I’ve always been into snowboarding. Luckily, there are some friends of mine who support my choice and we go snowboarding in the mountains together. To be honest, I think that it’s the best and the fastest growing winter sport. Many teenagers across the world go snowboarding and try to do various tricks. I know that for the first time people started using the snowboard in the 1920s and since then the activity has been rapidly progressing. I myself began snowboarding from a young age, as my parents were fond of this sport. Today, we often go snowboarding together. A lot of people influenced my skills and taught me new tricks. My first teacher was my father. After him I had several qualified trainers. And when I started feeling more comfortable, I was allowed to go snowboarding with my friends. I never miss the competitions that take place in our region and I certainly watch the various winter sports on TV.
