This video was filmed 6 years before Shaun White was born in 1980. This is very first snowboard competition which took place at Ski Cooper in Colorado.
Check out how funky the boards were back then. And those metal fins coming out the back? Snowboards and snowboarding have come a long way since the first ever comp huh?
Watch the above video, then watch the Travis Rice “Art of Flight” trailer below. Notice the difference?
