  • Timed Writings for Teens
    5 Skiing vs. Snowboarding WPM In the mid-1960s, Sherman Poppen fastened 9 two skis together so his daughter could “surf” 18 down a snowy hill at their Michigan home. 27 Coined from the words “snow” and “surf,” the 36 “Snurfer” would eventually evolve into today’s 45 snowboard, and within three decades become an 54 Olympic sport, debuting in Nagano Japan in 63 1998. 64 By the mid 1980s, the sport was popular 73 across the country, but because most of the 82 early snowboarders were adolescent males who 91 sported the sometimes boisterous personalities 100 of adolescent males both on and off the slopes, 110 they received a “cold shoulder” and a rebel 119 reputation from skiers. And, oh, the clothes 128 they wore! Downhill skiing is not only a sport, 137 it is a fashion show on snow! As skiers in 146 their color-coordinated expensive ski finery 155 glided gracefully down the hard-packed snow, 164 the sight of baggy-clothed snowboarders with 173 both feet stuck into a board made style- 181 conscious skiers cringe. Snowboarding was not 190 allowed in many ski areas in the early days, 199 but has since become a sport embraced by young 209 and old alike. Despite its increased 216 acceptance, a few ski resorts still do not 225 allow snowboarding today. 230 In 2000, snowboarding was found to be the 239 fastest-growing sport in the country, just 248 ahead of skateboarding, its “close cousin.” 257 Many snowboarding competitions, both national 266 and international, take place every year 274 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ©2010 B.E.

  • Designing for Professional Skiers Designing Equipment for Professional Alpine Skiers and Freestyle Skiers
    Designing for Professional Skiers Designing Equipment for Professional Alpine Skiers and Freestyle skiers. Yvonne Maria Rørvik Department of Product Design Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) ABSTRACT Products that are designed for professional athletes are products of high quality and endurance, since the athletes often rely on their equipment to be the best. To create these kind of products, designers must work with the best materials and test their products for improvement often to be able to get the best possible solution possible. In addition to this, there are rules and regulations that must be taken into consideration to make sure that the product is safe to use, and that it does not violate any laws or constrictions given by unions such as FIS (Fédération Internationale de Ski). This paper looks at the challenges and factors to take into consideration when designing for professional athletes, alpine skiers in particular. Since alpine ski racing is a sport with high risk of knee injuries, the focus for this article will be to look at safety and injury prevention. It will also be to look at the effectiveness of sponsorship, and will give guidelines to what a designer should take into consideration when designing for professional alpine skiers. KEYWORDS: Athlete safety, Sponsorship, Users’ need, Alpine skiing 1. INTRODUCTION From the designer’s point of view, there is The author of this article has been skiing since often an attempt to combine aesthetics, the age of five, and skiing and snowboarding is function, and technology when designing sport still one of her favorite hobbies.
