Awesome!, July 20, 2003
This review is from: Renegade Training for Xtreme Sports (Paperback)
The stuff Coach Davies does in this book is awful. I mean I cried I was so mad. How in the world can he do close grip snatches on a stability ball when I can barely stand up for prolonged periods of time? This book is a huge ego-checker. If you are into extreme sports and serious about your training, this book is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent book for athletic preparation, November 4, 2003
This review is from: Renegade Training for Xtreme Sports (Paperback)
This book is the first of it's kind as it addresses the needs of ahtletes in extreme sports. Coach DAvies presents his material in an excellnet progressive manner as he describes the motor qualitites that are necessary in regards to being a successful extreme athlete. All athletes can benefit from this book as it details the importance of agility, range of motion, dynamic and static balance, explosive strength etc...
Davies also presents a sample workout program at the end of the book. If you are serious about your conditioning levels the investment that is required for this book is simply a giveway.
thank you

The best sports conditioning book I've ever read!, December 15, 2003
This review is from: Renegade Training for Xtreme Sports (Paperback)
Coach Davies takes extreme sports conditioning to the next level in this book. He introduces techniques that even the pros can't do on their first *100* tries! Coach Davies excites the reader to start training by introducing a program that defies all preconceived ideas of working out.
The content of the book is laid out very lucidly, and the multitude of pictures show even the newest grom how to work out 'Renegade Style'.
Coach Davies walks you through every exercise, then gives a recommended training program, which, instead of vaguely laying out "this many reps on this day of the week," details SIX WEEKS of specific daily workouts. This takes the book to a higher level than most fitness books that give you a general idea of how to work out, but don't suggest a workout plan.
This is not only the book for getting better at surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, or skateboarding, but it is a book for anyone who wants to get better balance and feel healthier!
