Product Description
Hit the trail with the assurance and daring of a pro biker. Get the adrenaline rush of flying under your own power. And take Mountain biking along. It's packed with all the nuts and bolts of mountain biking: Equipment ("Homemade," "Beware," "Must Have"); Techniques--with real-life examples. Strickland writes from his own experience--and he takes you along.

From the Back Cover

Mountain biking is wild, thrilling, brutal, beautiful, and over the edge--the ride of your life--The Ultimate Ride.

It has the fringe feel of extreme sports, but just about anyone can do it, just about anywhere. (You don't even need a mountain--honest.)

Strickland writes from his own experience--and he takes you along. He's become the mountain biker he would've wanted to ride with as a novice. Could've saved him a lot of troubles, he says. And skin.

It's skill-intensive: You'll need plenty of techniques and tricks--stuff that's simple to understand and enact, but not so easy to discover on your own. Bill Strickland can show you what you don't even know you're missing.

This book is packed with all the nuts and bolts of equipment and techniques, with real-life examples. It's like the best mountain bike ride: loose, expert, and a little in love with the unexpected.
