Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
National Geographic's Extreme Sports series gives a behind the scenes look at athletic adventurers. Climb! by Pete Takeda covers everything from "bouldering" ("the essence of freeclimbing no ropes, no hardware") to "Alpinism" ("literally climbing as if you were in the Alps") to good ole' "trad" (traditional) climbing. Skateboard! by Constance Loizos, stays closer to the ground, detailing the development of skateboarding from subculture to "serious sport." Both include safety tips, maneuvers, and lingo. Profiles of top competitors and 70 full-color photos are included.
