Hello NS,
I come here to present to you a little situation i have on my hands involving a speech.

and i decided to do it on the topic: skiing vs. snowboarding. i have started writing and i realize, what should i talk about?
any suggestions will help and +k to all who do.
just looking for general stuff and then ill branch off of that.
thanks.

thats controversial to us, but not to most people. most people are completely impartial and don't know what each sport is like past the surface.

that being said, youll need to back up your topic quite a bit then, lots of past information

talk about ski resorts that don't allow snowboarding (vail used to not i think, deer valley)

talk about what causes the problems (snowboarders grooming the hill by side slipping, gaper skiers getting in the way of boarders, etc.

if you have time, put in your opinion and a possible solution to make it convincing and more than just repeating of information


good luck

yeah, try to captivate your audience by speaking loudly, and strongly, dont do any nervous motions,
just try to be like Obama when he gives a speech

trust em i have done some speeches with shitty content, but i presented them well so i still got good marks

Well if i was doing what you were i would talk about the pros and cons about skiing and snowboarding to show y one is better than the other, different controls or speeds on skis or snowboard. Hope that helped a little

Mention high cascade, how it's snowboarders only, to demonstrate that its not just skiiers doing the hating. Talk about trail destruction by sideslipping. Talk about the gangster vs. gypsy clash. Go into the history of Tim Burton and other snowboarding pioneers and how hard they fought to make snowboarding what it is today.

to not give the effect of skiiers being haters to any snowboarding fool in the class room, you can state that snowboarding "helping the idea a twintip come along.
Im not saying snowboarding developed skiing, just gave it a boost, we still, are way more BA when it comes to anything.

I meant (effect of skiers NOT being haters) to clairify my wording.
