How snowboarding was made
It started with kids one of them was Jake Burton that were skateboarders that took off the trucks of their skateboards (or the wheels). Then they put it on a hill in the winter and it went down but they couldn't stay on so they strapped in with belts. Later they went to investors and got the money and a few improvements for them to start manufacturing snowboards. Then Jake made his own company named Burton.
