They take a victory run.

They seem like they’re having fun.

You get the feeling that after they’re done, if you asked them an hour later what they’d like to do, they’d say “I think I’d like to go snowboarding”.

It seems much less serious and stressful than some Olympic sports.

They have their own culture.

The names of the moves (oh, they crack me up).

Second chances.

Americans are really good at it.

I hope this makes up to all the snowboarders I’ve annoyed with my “snowboarding shouldn’t be an Olympic sport” posts.
