Directs the fashion.

Adrenaline, sharing the experience with friends and family of any ability.

Bordom, adrenalin rush

Skiing, surfing, skateboarding

4. where do you think technology will lead the sport?
Reduced cost, lighter materials

5. does the xgames lead younger riders to try more dangerous tricks that they shouldn’t be trying?
No

6. how does the media influence the sub culture of snowboarding
are drugs rampant in the sport?
Yes and yes.
The media only show the “face” of the sport, not the lifestyle and variety of people. Those influenced by the media soon realise it is misrepresenting the lifestyle.
Drugs are rampant in society both performance enhancing and recreational, they seem to be used in a functional manner within the snow lifestyle.

1. What is your driving force to snowboard?

Continue to have fun on the snow and winter is much more fun than this summer stuff.

2. When learning tricks what is your motivation?

I don’t learn tricks. Merely staying upright is challenge enough and as for riding a T-bar….

3. How did you become interested in snowboarding?

Family pressure, in a good way. They told me skiing was just not cool

4. where do you think technology will lead the sport?

Anything that brings in more $ for the big companies. Usually that means entry to intermediate level equipment that is easier to learn on.

5. does the xgames lead younger riders to try more dangerous tricks that they shouldn’t be trying?

No. i doubt young riders with any skill would try stuff just because of X Games. And a punter probably doesn’t know anything about X games anyway. Kids pretty mush no how to progress. Time on snow, and good coach.

6. how does the media influence the sub culture of snowboarding

Snowboarding companies dictate way more than media, and any company is only as good as their marketing department. The media has way too much say in calling a season “good” or “poor”, but snowboarders are always out there, with whatever snow there is.

7. are drugs rampant in the sport?

Are drugs rampant in society? No more no less. Performance enhancing drugs? Wouldn’t seem likely to me. It’s about the snow.

And… can we see your results sometime? Also, this is a pretty dedicated bunch of people, and probably not the standard “subculture” thing you are thinking it is. God luck
