Bluffs Poem

The buttons are white,
looking like crystals.
From the sight,
it looks kind of mystical.
After we're done,
we all have to listen.
To our instructor,
When we are finished.
Done with this piece,
to the next station.

Snowboarding Gear

Snowboarding is a sport that you obviously do in snow. To go snowboarding, you will have to have a snowboard. It is a wooden board that goes from 5 feet long to about 6 1/2 feet long, depending on how tall you are. They measure it by centimeters so it goes from about 130-160. Most of the boards have a thin piece of metal that boarders the edge of the snowboard.

There are many different types of gear you will need. With many designs on the board, some brands are Burton, 686, Forum, Ride, and Rome. These are just some of the brands there are probably about 50-75. My favorite is Burton, Burton makes snowboards, boots, bindings, clothes and plenty of other things. Snowboarding boots are specially designed to fit into bindings, the go about half way up your shin, the main reason for that is so it is stiff that way your ankles cant bent and possibly break. The bindings are screwed into the board. They have two straps that go over your boot so they stay in place when your riding. They also have an about 8 inch back on it so your feet don’t slip out.

Snowboarding is a great sport. They have it in the Olympics and they have a lot of other competitions. So you will need the right gear to go. With many different varieties and brands you wont have a hard time choosing what you want. So sometime you should get out and try it.
