I, too, bought this as a Christmas gift for my 17-year-old son. Gifts at that age are difficult, so this was one of the few he was getting. I was very disapointed (to say the least) when a book obviously written for elementary school-aged children arrived. It's very over-priced, too. Please correct your copy to reflect the appropriate age range!

This book is appropriate for second thru sixth graders. I ordered it for a 17 year old for Christmas and was disappointed. The content repeatedly states the obvious: "Extreme skateboarders like to try new, difficult tricks."

I feel this information should have been stated in the descripton. Extreme Skateboarding does have great photos. It is a small book.

My book is about skateboarding. The author is Pat Ryan. He writes books about sports like snowboarding, rock climbing, and of course skateboarding, and that is what this book is about. It tells about skateboarding equipment, competitions, and safety. It also tells about professionals, amateurs, and beginners. It tells how skateboarding was started. It shows how the old boards, wheels, and trucks looked like. It has a glossary that tells what some of the words mean. This nonfiction book really tells you a lot of information. If you want to know what skateboarding is. Then this is the book for you.

Extreme Skateboarding by Patrick Ryan is about skateboarding and history on when skateboarding began. The book goes over some saftey tips and what gear you need to skate. I recommend any one to read this book if they want to skateboard.

buy or die!!!
