I am a very good skater. this book has explanations for every trick known, along with plans for a half-pipe, quarter pipe, vert wall, and Launch ramp. It gives u saftey instructions and has some phat photo's.

Great book for anyone who is just starting out at skateboarding. Tells about the history of skateboarding. Has good information on tricks (some which are old 80's tricks), but it still has tricks that are still in the common place. Such as Ollie, KickFlip, HeelFlip, Ollie Boardslid, etc. Then there are ramp tricks. I'm going to have to say a must read for people just starting out skateboarding, or anyone who would just want to learn a little more.

Cassoria gives excellent tips on hardware which enabled me to select a board that feels good under my feet and allows me to blast huge ollies. Tricks and techniques are also beautfully covered and I now find that while I can't yet finger flip to railstand (I only took up sk8ing at 46 years of age) at least I no longer embarrass my son Jonathan in front of his friends.
