Still a great book, but a lot of overlap, September 23, 2008
This review is from: Allen & Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips, Revised and Even Better!: 123 Amazing Tips to Improve Your Tele-Skiing (Falcon Guides) (Paperback)
A great source for beginner and intermediate level telemarkers. As the title would suggest, this "revised" version has a lot of overlap with the previous edition. For the price, however, it is worth picking up the new edition and gifting your old dog-eared copy of the original to a friend.

Good Tips for All Levels of Tele Skiers, August 16, 2010
This review is from: Allen & Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips, Revised and Even Better!: 123 Amazing Tips to Improve Your Tele-Skiing (Falcon Guides) (Paperback)
Love the book - laid out well. Each "tip" concise and easy to understand. Book travels well, keep it in your pack for a reference while skiing. Many of the tips are focused on the same basic principles (back foot weighting, upper body facing the fall line, etc...) but approaching these principles in multiple different ways increases the chance that a tip will stick in your brain.

My boyfriend wouldn't listen to me, so I bought him this book., February 6, 2010
This review is from: Allen & Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips, Revised and Even Better!: 123 Amazing Tips to Improve Your Tele-Skiing (Falcon Guides) (Paperback)
What a great Christmas present for my bf - everything I was trying to teach him and more (I learned a bunch too), without the dirty looks after saying, "Almost got it, try again". The illustrations are funny and ultra useful because they show you how to do the technique right, almost right, and wrong. You decide which category you fit in.

Fun and informative little book!, December 8, 2009
This review is from: Allen & Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips, Revised and Even Better!: 123 Amazing Tips to Improve Your Tele-Skiing (Falcon Guides) (Paperback)
This book is really well done; there are lots of fun and humorous illustrations and accompanying text with helpful little tele tips. If you are new to telemark skiing (as I am) this is a great little book. If you are already a good telemark skier there are some good tips and advice for you too. This book's illustrations are really fun and explain the text well. This book's tips range from really basic to really hard, from good basic tele form to skiing tele backwards. It's a great quick read, and you don't have to read it in the order given. Another fun aspect of this book is a flow chart which helps you decide which tips you should be working on. A nice read for the drive up to your ski resort. I can't wait to read the authors' book about backcountry skiing.

Drop the knee - Not the bomb!, November 20, 2008
This review is from: Allen & Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips, Revised and Even Better!: 123 Amazing Tips to Improve Your Tele-Skiing (Falcon Guides) (Paperback)
I'm the illustrator of this groovy book. If the following sounds like shameless self promotion...it is. 123 tips in this UPDATED book! I personally subjected my ski partners to my less than subtal research technique, I bugged 'em by asking every concievable question and making 'em try (almost) every tip in the book. The winter of 97/98 involved getting up in the morning and going backcountry skiing, then coming home and drawing bizzare cartoons of what subtal telemark insights I uncovered durring the day. The result was the first edition of this book. People actually stop me on the street and thank me for improving their tele-skiing! Then, I spent the next decade practicing and refining NEW tips for this book. Now available, reafdy for your ski season. For example there is a funny cartoon of a guy puting a penny in his [...]...really! Strange but true, this is a valuable tool to perfect this beautiful style of skiing. 'nuff said...Mike Clelland!
