Snowboarding is a popular sport in Japan, with no less than three monthly magazines devoted to the snowboarding lifestyle. This Playstation release from UEP Systems gives players the chance to hit the slopes and surf down snow covered banks and hills in a race against time. Cool Boarders are also able to perform flips and other little tricks as they barrel down at rather high speeds exceeding 100km per hour. A tumble at those speeds would probably not be pretty but when you're having this much fun, whats a little pain?
