There are some who know how to tune their board but even more how don't. This is why we asked Andy Buckley, wax tech of U.S. Snowboarding for the snowboard cross team, if he would take some time to give a few background information about the dos and don'ts.
Lucky us, he had some time during the day off at the 10th FIS Snowboard World Championships in Stoneham and Quebec, Canada.
Buckley explains in five steps what you should do to make your board go faster on the snow.
We hope you like this behind the scenes clip and feel free to leave us a comment.
Snowboard is one of the six Olympic disciplines administered by FIS - The International Ski Federation. The Event consists of five different disciplines big air, half pipe, slope style, snowboard cross, and parallel slalom. Snowboarding is a young snow sport which began in the 1960's. The 1960's were a time of evolution, as young people looked for different forms of expression in winter sports. Snowboarding began to be organized in that decade when the advancements in modern snowboard equipment and freedom of expression led to new and exciting snowboard techniques. Snowboarding's growing popularity is reflected in its recognition as an official sport: in 1985, with the first World Cup was held in Zürs, Austria.
