Here is a link of another artifact of my genre...http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/1-24-2005-64744.asp.

I have chosen this article to elaborate a couple more things about this genre. As it is currently, I mostly talk about one type of snowboarding but there are more out there. Aside from "stunt riding" or "park riding" there is also Alpine snowboarding which is featured in the winter olympics. This article does a great job explaining what alpine snowboarding is. It shares with the reader a good insight to what it's purpose is and the necessary equipment needed if someone were to be interested in picking up a new hobby over the winter. This article is what I would call an informational one. It follows the rules of dialect; talking about what alpine snowboarding is and why people enjoy it. At the same time, it breaks the rules through its absence of pictures and captions, often found within the pages of such articles.
