Take a sneak peak into book: "FREERIDE SNOWBOARDING The freeride snowboarding type incorporates various styles of snowboarding into a style that is adaptive to the variations and challenges of natural terrains and man-made features including jumps, rails, half-pipes or groomed snow. This style of riding is best portrayed by the pursuit of riding massive peaks but it is not solely restricted to that. This style is limited by access of mountains and threatened by the dangers that exist when seeking to ride in distant areas. To be able master freeriding, merge other aspects o snowboard styles such as the freestyle and the alpine into an all round style which gives the freedom to make the most of whatever terrain comes your way. Freeriders make use of equipment like stiffer boots and a directional snowboard. The freeride style may encounter different types of snow conditions such as ice and deep powder, therefore it is recommended for a stiffer set up to be used to maintain stability in deeper snow and higher speeds. HALF PIPE SNOWBOARDING This type of snowboarding was made popular by the last four Olympics. It involves performing tricks while riding through a thick massive U-shaped snow feature at a high speed. It is a semi-circular ditch which is dug into the mountain and covered with massive snow with walls between 8-23 feet. Riders are expected to perform tricks in the air while going from one side to the other above the sides of the pipe. This style dramatically changed from rudimentary days of riding natural gullies to today's massive pipe productions that implement specialized snow machines and precision shaping. Larger pipes allow riders top ride faster and invent new tricks. The half pipe snowboarding is very expensive because it takes considerable time and financial costs for the creation and maintenance of the pipe as well as its limited accessibility pose threat to its evolution."
