4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for beginner skaters
If you are enthusiastic about inline skating, you probably want to read everything about it you can get your hands on. I have read 3 or 4 books so far. I have learned at least something good-to-know from each one -- this one included. It's cheap enough -- order it and read it!

Good, but not deep; doesn't always flow through concepts
I'm new to inline skating and I'm looking for a book to get me started. My experience with ice skating and skiing is helping me. I'm looking for a book to, "take me to the next level." This is a good book, but it isn't that. There are some good pictures that show how to do certain maneuvers in time lapse. That helps. However, sometimes illustrations...

I'm new to inline skating and I'm looking for a book to get me started. My experience with ice skating and skiing is helping me. I'm looking for a book to, "take me to the next level."This is a good book, but it isn't that. There are some good pictures that show how to do certain maneuvers in time lapse. That helps. However, sometimes illustrations rather than pictures are the most effective means to get a concept across to the reader. The written descriptions on how to do certain things, such as a Y-stop, are good, but not always thorough enough. It would help if the author would build up to certain tasks. For example, the author might teach certain points about turning, which could then be used to form the foundation of a Y-stop. Learning is about developing a foundation and building on that foundation. Too much in this book was independent of everything else I need to learn. I just didn't come away feeling that I had moved to the next level because of this book. Don't get me wrong, I learned quite a bit. However, this book wasn't as thorough as I had hoped.
