the snowboard metro is a snowboarder that must have the newest color puked gear looking like they just stepped out of the snowboard shop they spend the majority of a gondola ride telling everyone how sick or dope that rail was
sitting in the gondola next to the guy with the neon yellow blue green purple pink and brown jacket. "how's you day going?" "bro I just stomped a corked 360 off that up down rail siiiiiicccccckkkk." thinking to myself man will i be glad when the snowboard metrosexual goes back to black

Get the snowboard metrosexual mug.Although the most fun anyone can have... ever... snowboarding is also one of the most potentially painful activities known to man. On a more technical note, there are three types of snowboarding:
Freeriding: This is your basic stand on a board and go down the hill type boarding. Doesn't take much talent... i'd say after 2-3 years you should have it down pat.
Freestyle: This is the most blissful activity on the face of the earth. It can also be divided into a bunch of subcategories...
-Park- Kickers and cheese wedges, park riding consists of taking air while maintaining a downhillwards (SO not a word) motion. While in the air, it is expected that you spin and / or grab.
-Pipe- Or half-pipe... this is arguably the most commercialised form of freestyle. It envolves going back and forth taking air on two walls of what is literally a massive half of a pipe made out of snow (but usually frozen as hell, making for some painful fuck-ups). Once again with the spinning and grabbing.
-Jibbing- This is what little kids who don't know how to ride properly spend all day doing. It's rails and boxes, mostly, but can be adapted to anything. Park benches, cars, roofs of barns (Jason Brown - Transworld's Technical Difficulties) Which is why it's so fun i suppose... still, those little fucks couldn't do shit in the next section.
Backcountry: Off trail riding, usually using a snowmobile, snowcat, or (if you're a rich sponsored son of a bitch) a helicopter to get up to the top of an unsupervised, unmaintained mountain, then riding down, a feat that usually takes about half the morning. The most dangerous type of riding, simply because of the avalance hazard.
RIP, Craig Kelly.

Get the Snowplow mug.A person who demands complete devotion from a lover, but who sees them as only an occasional diversion or romantic accessory to their established routine. In other words, someone who metaphorically places their lover inside a snowglobe then sits them on top of their mantle, to be inverted on occasion, then placed back down and viewed while the plastic snowflakes settle to the bottom. After which they turn their attention to the other demands and interests in their life, without any regard for their lover’s emotional or physical needs, content in the knowledge that whenever they desire something that only a their lover can provide (e.g. affection, sex, to be wined-and-dined, conversation), that their lover is awaiting their beck and call upon their mantle.
She's just a snowglober, so don't ever expect her to bring you into her world or to care deeply about yours.

Get the snowboard mug.anyone who snowboards. many (but not all) skiers hate snowboarders because they have only seen the snowboarders who either suck so much that they only slide down the mountain and scrape snow (but hey, they gotta start somewhere), or the cocky ones who only hit park all day long on good pow days and are assholes to skiers who are also in the park. its because of riders like this that skiers have created an extremely negative stereotype about snowboarders. these snowboarders account for about only 5%-45% of the snowboarders, depending on where you go. most of the skiers don't have friends who are true riders create and live by these stereotypes.
true riders:
dont bitch and whine about skiers all the time- they can be just as cool as us
dont hog up the park all day and sit down in landings
shred the pow when possible
can ride whatever they feel like and dont hate on other riders who rip on different stuff then they do, unless the rider ONLY does park (some people like backcountry more, some like park more, some like inbounds more, but a good mix is what i like).
ride to have fun, to live life. (and they can do this w/friends)
(and also, shawn white is a great rider, and im not hatin, but he isnt the only great one. ever heard of guys like craig kelly, or antti autti?)

most snowboarders are actually really ill guys.
yes we have our own language. dont start hatin because you dont know what ill, shred, pow, gnar, and such means.
we're creative enough to make our own diction, assholes

Get the snowboarder mug.The best of the major extreme sports (Skateboarding, surfing, BMX, Motocross and Rollerfagging).
The snowboard is the thing your boots are strapped into and snowboarding is what you do with it.
Heli-boarding and carving up untouched powder faces on a snowboard is the best experience known to man.
Unfortunately freeriding doesn't get much exposure anymore as it is being replaced by the lucrative freestyle business. People are beginning to forget that its about riding down the mountain, not seeing who can get the best photospread.

Rider : "Yeah whateva dude, LATE!@"
