This book is an excellent resource for snowboarders of all levels. If you only want to buy one book, this is the one. It covers all levels of riding and is applicable from the beginner to the advanced rider.Of course, you still need to get mileage on your board to improve. However, if you need more information this book will be helpful.
This is probably one of the most comprehensive how-to snowboard book out there. There is a section on freestyle, but again, the author is more a carver/racer. The book is huge but if the writing was better, should be a fast read.
Or not. This is not terribly bad as the drawings are quite good, but photos would have been better. Maybe alittle bit too comprehensive.
There are no real photos, only hand-drawn illustrations. I find the writing not too flowing and enjoyable to read. Took me a week.
The author is more a carver/racer so most of the carving techniques are probably not possible if you have low binding angles. I think this book is alright, but I like "Go Snowboard" better because it has full-color photos and dvd.
Es sumamente claro, divertido, combina correctamente texto e ilustraciones, sirve sin duda para el principiante, intermedio, y supongo que para el experto.Mientras lo he leído, he disfrutado imaginando estoy ya en la nieve. Mi nivel de snowboard es de dos temporadas. Necesitaba estudiar la teoría para mejor aprovechar la próxima temporada de Julio (hemisferio sur).Este libro ha colmado y superado mis expectativas previas. Luego de haberlo leído, cuento con claros objetivos de lo que deseo experimentar y practicar en estas próximas vacaciones.Lo recomiendo ampliamente y sin reservas. Suerte.
Unfortunately, the pictures weren't always clear to me. You have to wonder about learning snowboarding from a book. He takes a difficult concept, like where over the board your center of gravity is during a particular type of turn, and then tries to illustrate the concept with a hand-drawn picture. Having said that, this is a good reference and I've used it it many times during my first few snowboarding attempts. The illustrations are interesting - they were hand drawn by the author. In some cases it was clear as mud. But overall, I can't imagine a better book on learning to snowboard.
Full of drawings, text and light humor - this guide aims to please and teach. The only thing I would add to it is a first timer's guide to ski resorts. Even covers intermediate and advanced topics, tricks, etc. A book you will be studing for many seasons to come.
