    We would go to the local elementary and middle schools where there was a small creek and pond. We would catch crayfish, bugs, and frogs only to let them go after we celebrated our great achievement. We would play tag, football, soccer, hockey and baseball at someone’s house or at the athletic fields of the schools. And all of us were of the same culture and class. It was always three to fifteen young white males doing what young white males usually do. A few of the other kids were Italian, which apparently is not Caucasian, but we did not know that.

    One snowy Christmas day in Muskegon, Michigan, a young girl by the name of Wendy Poppen tried to stand up on her sled while sliding down the hill. Seeing this, her father Sherman ran into the garage and bolted a pair of skies together with wood to ""act as foot stops"" (Crane). While watching Wendy use the contraption, some of the local kids ran up to Sherman and asked him to build one for each of them. Little did he know that he had given birth to the “fastest growing winter sport” (Prosl) known as snowboarding. The history, simplicity, and rate of growth of snowboarding took the sport from being completely banned from ski resorts, to being accepted worldwide with its Olympic debut in 1998.

    My collage had plenty of pictures of snowboarding images, Colorado mountains, and tree covered in snow. The first time I snowboarded I was about 5 years old I went to Hesperus Colorado. In 2013, I had my first bad accident, it was at purgatory ski resort. It was a two-part situation. The reason I say that is because it all happened within two weeks. Snowboarding is really a family activity. The only thing I’ve truly learned from snowboarding is if you have a bad feeling in your gut like you shouldn’t be doing something-trust your instincts. My parents ski. They do not board, but I’ve tried convincing them to board but they will not. I think culture has a lot to do with tradition, in our case our tradition is to go to Purgatory Mountain and

I remember my friend joking on the tear gas that suddenly enveloped us while we tried to study algebra.
