Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8 Not only is this a popular topic, but Brimner's book is well done, using lots of black-and-white photographs to demonstrate the instructions for performing stunts and routines on motocross bicycles. The short chapters touch on the history of freestyle, choosing a bike and equipment, avoiding injuries, building a ramp, competitions and organizations, and laws pertaining to freestyle. Emphasis is placed on safety and courtesy. A bibliography, including books, magazines, and newsletters, is appended. The writing is clear and informative. BMX Freestyle is briefer, geared to a slightly younger age group, and more current than Edmonds' Bicycle Motocross for Beginners (Holt, 1979; o.p.) and Coombs' Guide to Motocross (Morrow, 1983; o.p.). If your patrons want to know how to do a curb endo or avoid pizza knees, here's where to send them. Connie Tyrrell Burns, Portland Public Library, Maine
