These books all begin with a paragraph explaining the use of the word "extreme," followed by discussions of the history of the sport, the equipment needed to get started, techniques, and safety considerations. While the series title implies that these books would be most appropriate for advanced and aggressive practitioners, they do offer information for beginners. The well-placed, full-color photographs include many action shots that create a fluid movement of their own. All of the titles have lists of books, magazines, videos, related Web sites, and camps and competitions. They are more detailed and for a slightly older age group than the "Radical Sports" series.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Pass on This One,
By A Customer
This review is from: In-line Skating! Get Aggressive (Extreme Sports Collection) (Library Binding)
Take heed. If you think you're getting a book that shows you how to execute skating moves, you aren't. What you are getting is a book that covers the obvious -- like how important it is to wear a helmet and pads. The only thing of value in this book is the list of skating "zines" and parks at the end -- which you can discover simply by doing an online search. My recommendation: Pass on this one. It's simply not worth the money.
