However, if you need more information this book will be helpful. 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. This book is an excellent resource for snowboarders of all levels. If you only want to buy one book, this is the one.
I find the writing not too flowing and enjoyable to read. The author is more a carver/racer so most of the carving techniques are probably not possible if you have low binding angles. Maybe alittle bit too comprehensive.
There are no real photos, only hand-drawn illustrations. There is a section on freestyle, but again, the author is more a carver/racer. This is not terribly bad as the drawings are quite good, but photos would have been better.
This is probably one of the most comprehensive how-to snowboard book out there. The book is huge but if the writing was better, should be a fast read. I think this book is alright, but I like "Go Snowboard" better because it has full-color photos and dvd.
Or not. Took me a week.
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. 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. Suerte. 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.
Unfortunately, the pictures weren't always clear to me. In some cases it was clear as mud. 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. But overall, I can't imagine a better book on learning to snowboard. 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.
A book you will be studing for many seasons to come. Even covers intermediate and advanced topics, tricks, etc. 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.
