Jacket of the Month..
The jacket of the month has appeared on Burton's rider Kevin Pearce who had a great showing this year at the X-games. It is a multi colored jacket that matches the bottom of Pearce's board. The announcers and some of his fellow riders did not think much of Pearce's jacket before his run. Once he hit the super pipe and was busting some major air everyone saw that his jacket did match the bottom of the board. After his run everyone took a different look at Pearce because of his performance and this is why his jacket makes the "Jacket of the Month".

Snowboarding
Snowboarding is a extreme winter sport where a person is attached to a board. It is inspired by surfing and skateboarding. There are four main areas of competition:
1. Boarder cross - where four boarders race down the mountain.
2. Slope style - a boarder goes through a terrain park full of jumps and all different kinds of hits and depending on how they do is how well there score is.
3. Half pipe - a carved half pipe into the mountain (similar to skateboarding) where the boarder will go down and jump out of the pipe and perform tricks.
4. Racing - Boarders go down a mountain cutting through gates to get the best time.
