Snowboard imagery 1980-2010 : A mapping survey (English)
Abstract [sv]

Snowboarding är idag en stor vintersport med egen utrustning, kultur och egna elitåkare. För de professionella åkarna eller för de som bara åker för nöjes skull är snowboard en förlängning av deras kropp i rörelse. 

Utformingen av brädorna har förändrats med åren och trots detta saknas vetenskapliga studier inom området. Därför syftar föreliggande undersökning till att kartlägga hur bildspråket hos 240 snowboardar har utvecklats mellan 1980-2010, och därmed fylla en del av detta tomrum som uppkommit i den vetenskapliga dokumentationen. 

Denna undersökning har baserats på en visuell innehållsanalys vilket resulterade i intressanta observationer. Resultaten som framkom var att svaren går att generalisera och att utvecklingen av bildspråket har förändrats under olika årtionden. Snowboardarna från de olika årtiondena har specifika särdrag som denna undersökning belyser.

Abstract [en]

Snowboarding is today a major winter sport with its own equipment, its own culture and elite riders. For professional athletes or for those who just snowboard for fun, snowboard becomes an extension of their body while in motion.

The layout on the boards has changed over the years but despite of this there is a lack of scientific studies in the field. Therefore, this study aimed to identify how the graphics of 240 snowboards have evolved between 1980-2010, and fill some of these holes in the scientific documentation. 

This survey was based on a visual content analysis, which resulted in interesting observations. The results that emerged were that the result can be generalized and that the development of snowboards graphics has changed over the decades. Snowboards from the various decades have specific characteristics that this study provides.
