Although Adaptive Skiing has been around for a while, many people are just starting to become
aware of Adaptive Snowboarding.The sport is relatively new but manufacturers are already beginning to develop
specialized snowboards and equipment built around the sport. Many times those with developmental mental or
physical disabilities are discriminated against in our society. Similar to the rugby sport mentioned above,
adaptive snowboarding allows partially disabled sportsmen and women to participate in their sport. during the
2002 Winter Olympics held in Park City, Utah. They are a non-profit organization that provides
sports and therapeutic recreation opportunities for those with disabilities. Adaptive Snowboard Training, consisting of one-on-one
sessions, costs less than $100 a day which includes the cost of lift tickets and
equipment.Organizations like the Adaptive Recreation Center and Challenge Alaska are true to the idea that
we can do anything if we Tn Requin put our minds to it and that our capabilities
are more than our physical limitations. Happily, in the sports arena, those with disabilities are
getting a chance to display their skills.For those that still believe that the loss of
a limb makes someone unable to play sports, I strongly recommend that they see the
film "Murder Ball", a little seen 2005 documentary about wheel chair rugby, where athletes missing
one or more limbs go all out in full contact mode to win a championship.
Snowboarding can be a difficult sport to master as it combines elements of surfing, skateboarding
and skiing. The short term goal is to eventually have Adaptive Snowboarding included as an
athletic competition in the Winter Paralympic Games, possibly as soon as the 2010 Paralympic Winter
Games in Whistler.One organization at the forefront of teaching the sport of chaussures puma Adaptive Snowboarding is
the non profit U.S. This past winter, they worked with developmentally disabled students of all
ages, instructing more than one thousand lessons, to teach them skiing and snowboarding skills.A type
of snowboarding that is becoming more popular for those with physical disabilities is Adaptive Snowboarding.
I guarantee that anyone after seeing this movie will have a lot more respect for
those with disabilities among us.Snowboarding is widely considered an "extreme sport." It gained mass exposure
and popularity in the U.S. Adaptive Recreation Center at the Bear Mountain Ski Resort in
California. They have a full staff of recreational therapists on board to lead and monitor
the training. Counts vary as to how many adaptive riders there are in the country
with no one having a hard number, but everyone agrees that it's popularity is growing
rapidly. Yet, these days, we're finding more and more people with disabilities on the snowboarding
slopes.A prime example of organizations working with disabled persons to help them achieve their full
potential is Challenge Alaska which has worked with disabled athletes in Alaska for over twenty
years. They accept people with disabilities of all types including blindness, autism, spinal cord injuries,
missing limbs, partial paralysis, and many others. They are discriminated based solely on their disability,
not on what they can and cannot do. They have proven that snowboarding and other
extreme sports can be enjoyed by people with a wide variety of disabilities if they
are simply given the confidence to try and the equipment and opportunity to shine.Jim Garza
