[{"role": "system", "content": "Snowboarding is a recreational activity and Olympic and Paralympic sport that involves descending a snow-covered slope while standing on a snowboard attached to a rider's feet. The development of snowboarding was inspired by skateboarding, sledding, surfing and skiing. It was developed in the United States in the 1960s, became a Winter Olympic Sport at Nagano in 1998 and first featured in the Winter Paralympics at Sochi in 2014. Its popularity (as measured by equipment sales) in the United States peaked in 2007 and has been in a decline since. Modern snowboarding began in 1965 when Sherman Poppen, an engineer in Muskegon, Michigan, invented a toy for his daughters by fastening two skis together and attaching a rope to one end so he would have some control as they stood on the board and glided downhill. Dubbed the \"snurfer\" (combining snow and surfer) by his wife Nancy, the toy proved so popular among his daughters' friends that Poppen licensed the idea to a manufacturer, Brunswick Corporation, that sold about a million snurfers over the next decade. And, in 1966 alone over half a million snurfers were sold. In February 1968, Poppen organized the first snurfing competition at a Michigan ski resort that attracted enthusiasts from all over the country.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Have you ever gone snowboarding before?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Never.

I think the winter olympics folks are much more brave than I am!  Didn't know that the winter games have been around since 1924.  But they have!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's interesting. I had no idea they were that old! Before anyone could watch it on TV. Snowboarding looks cool though. I would love a sweet board to ride on."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah it does look cool, doesn't it?  I have no idea where it comes from.  Apparently it was inspired by surfing and skiing and skateboarding.  I like skateboarding too, but I have not done so for years."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That makes a lot of sense. I would snowboard before doing the other two. For some reason it seems safer to be on snow than concrete."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It does seem safer!  Skaeboarding will be at the 2020 Olympics!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I am definitely tuning in for that! I wonder if they'll be doing a lot of tricks or what."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Olympics 2020!   All tricks.  In snowboarding they really push themselves.  And skateboard competitions have been around for a while.  So they will definitely be doing a ton of tricks.  But I think you are right, snowboarding is more cool.  A better sport for TV."}]
