The Complete Snowboarder
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.17/5 from 6 reviews Buy the Illustrated Guide to Snowboarding instead.This book is decent, but the Illustrated Guide to Snowboarding is a much more in-depth and well written book. It is also more entertaining with funny drawings and tips. This book really only skims the surface on all the areas you need to start snowboarding. (no title)This book is great for begginers and also explains advanced tricks and techniques like methods, spins, cliff drops, carving and explains a little about racing and competative snowboarding. It also gives you usefull info like what to eat before you go, warm-ups, getting on and off chairlifts, ect. SolidI picked up this book hoping to add to my small bag of tricks. While definitely aimed at the beginner, there is enough solid info in here to help most any unsponsored rider improve their technique, even lucky locals such as yours truly (Tahoe is my backyard, Mount Rose my resort of choice). The main thing I got out of this book was improving the mechanics of my turns, plus the inspiration to work on my ollies and 360's. I do wish I had gotten my hands on this book earlier in my snowboarding career. Might have saved me from a few faceplants. | ||||||||||||||||||
