Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-- It has taken 20 years, but this "new" sport is now growing in popularity. Recent performances by professional snowboarders in motion pictures and television commercials have aroused interest in this sport about which very little has been written. Here rank beginners are walked through the basics of equipment and clothing selection, routine ski slope and snowboard maneuvers, safety considerations, stunts, and jobs associated with snowboarding. Color photographs enliven print description, but the slight underexposure of many of them obscures some details. Readers whose enthusiasm is fanned by the text will welcome the addresses of eight snowboard associations in Europe and North America, as well as those of three American snowboarding magazines. The clarity and thoroughness of this introduction is sure to satisfy the merely curious and serious snowboarding beginners. --Ann G. Brouse, Steele Memorial Library, Elmira, NY
