Do you ever wonder who invented snowboarding? Well you are about to find out. The inventor of the ski skate, AKA the “snowboard,” was Tom Sims. The first snowboard was a fairly basic invention. As the  years went on, it became a huge international sport. The fist snowboard was made of wood. He invented the snowboard in sixth grade. In wood shop he made a small one. Then he took it to his house and made the actual snowboard.

Before Tom Sims knew it. he had his very own skate/snowboard company. Tom had also graduated all schools. The day he finished the snowboard, he took it out to ride for hours. Tom Sims was a very sporty person. He surfed, skated, and skied from 12 years old to his death. He can kind of thank Tony Hawk for his idea, because Tony inspired him to skate and skating gave him the idea of snowboarding. Once to Tom, Tony Hawk was inspiration, but know Tom is now inspirational to others.

Tom Sims as a kid got practically rich from the boards that he made and eventually he was able to make better boards. Time by time the boards were progressing  until we got what we have now. Tom Sims also had the #1 selling board company and boards. The wood got better and the molds got nicer. Once he died, it all changed and now its  all machine made.

Eventually, Tom died in September 12, 2012 from a heart attack. The heart attack was caused from over working himself. In memory of his death they still have Sims board company up and running for any other snowboarders. Here is a fun fact for you did you know that Shawn White and Tony Haws first boards were Sims boards

The Punic wars

The 1st war

The fist Punic War was a war between Roman Republic and Ancient Carthage. The Romans went over the sea and marched to Sicily. Then the Carthaginians split up around the country to use their navy who ruled the seas. What Carthage didn’t know is that the Romans had made many ships with a new invention that was pretty much a pivoting bridge. Even though Romans were failing there invention was a big success. Then in the end of the war Rome and Ancient Carthage singed a truce to end the war.

This war was fought over three fronts in Sicily. In southern Spain is when Carthage started to hold in really well. Hannibal took an army of men and elephants to fight in the war. After fighting in many battles Hannibal used elephants for about 16 year throughout the battles. The Romans realized it would be hard to beat Hannibal so they cut of his food/water supply. Then Rome suppressed Carthage and that was another victory for Rome.

The 3rd war

The third war lasted from 149 B.C. to 146 B.C. The Romans started the war by crossing the seas to North Africa. The Romans did this because Carthage was handed up in weapons and male prisoners. For the first two years Carthage was able to hold up with there weapon filled walls. Once Rome got into the city they destroyed it. Then Rome let the 50,000 men free and Rome had won the battle.

Do you ever wonder why we have the Olympics well your about to find out. We have the Olympics to pass on Pentathlon which is the greek Olympics. The word penta in greek means five so there are five events. The first event is the javelin throw then there is the long jump. After that there is the discus throw a short foot race and a wrestling. Those are the 5  greek events.

The javelin throw is were you throw a javelin. Who ever throws the javelin farthest wins the javelin throw. The max length for the throwing is 30 meters to 36.5 meters at a target while running on a horse. the javelin has a long shaft with a sharp metal head.

Then there is the long jump. the long jump is a long jump. While holding 2 weights they must jump there very farthest.the weights weights weighed 4 to 8 pounds. The weights are metal shaped like a dumbbell.

The discus throw is a bevy disk thrown. The opponent that throws it farther wins. the discus is stone, metal, bronze, into a disk. This disk is about 14 pounds of weight which is heavy for a disk.

Then there is the short foot race was a race in the Olympia stadiac field this race was a long race on feet it required for you to be fast and strong. For this games you must were shin guards, helmets, and carry a shield while running 400 yards.

There was the wrestling the wrestling had no rules. The only rule were no bitting and know poking eyes. you could punch, kick, arm twist, this was the most physical sport. You would practically beat up the other opponent.

To start comparing lets start with the javelin throw the javelin throw was different because now it is just whoever can throw the javelin farthest. It used to be who can throw most accurately at the target. Lets move on next there is the long jump. The long jump now is who can jump farthest in a sand pit. Then it was who can jump the farthest holding the 8 pound weight. Next is the discus throw this is were your opponent and you throw a 14 pound weight the farthest. now it is who can throw a lighter discus. Next lets go to the short foot race this was were you wore armor and and ran 400 meters now you were light clothes and run 100 meters. Then there is the wrestling the wrestling is anything you want besides eye poking and bitting. Now there are 100 rules for wrestling and it is much harder not to get illegal hits.
