4.0 out of 5 stars
Dated but still of interest,
By Thomas O'Keefe (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whitewater Racing (Paperback)
Although dated, this is a good book on whitewater racing. Eric Evans was a member of the US whitewater team from 1967 through 1979, winning the national slalom championship 9 times and the wildwater championship once in 1972. John Burton was on the national team several times through the same period winning the national C2 championship in 1970 and the national C1 title in 1971. Both competed in the 1972 Olympics and together the two authors provide a wide overview of whitewater racing disciplines. While the techniques are somewhat dated, aspiring racers will find some interesting tidbits and the book is of historical interest. In addition to covering K1 slalom this book also gives significant coverage to C1 and C2 paddling and includes a chapter on wildwater racing. For a more up-to-date reference on whitewater slalom check out Scott Shipley's book, Every Crushing Storke.
