The numbers, however, include people who took part in a sport as little as one time during the year. The survey noted that the average snowboarder went riding an average of 7.6 days in 2004. The ranking represents a drop for snowboarding from fourth in 2002, as artificial wall climbing leapfrogged over snowboarding.

The overall participation number for skateboarding was almost 11.6-million. « Previous Story | The Industry Report Home Page | Next Story » |
