Gain Without Pain. Learning to snowboard can be easy and painless--with the right instruction. In this groundbreaking book, Danny Martin, the most sought-after snowboarding instructor today, teaches you how to snowboard in just three days--and without falling. While the American Association of Snowboard Instructors tells its members, "Your students will fall," Danny Martin shows you that there can be gain without pain: he has single-handedly revolutionized the way the sport is taught, and in No-Fall Snowboarding he reveals his techniques. Firmly grounded in physical fitness and martial arts and designed so everyone--beginners, skiers, even seasoned snowboarders--can practice at home, No-Fall Snowboarding will teach you how to: -Learn proper snowboarding techniques long before hitting the mountain -Create balance with easy, specific body movements -Find the perfect board, gear, places to board -Get over bad habits -Avoid typical twisting motions guaranteed to cause falling Filled with dozens of stunning photographs by renowned photographer Mark Seliger, No-Fall Snowboarding is the go-to guide for people of all ages and skill levels who want to learn America's fastest growing sport.
You can get this book and do it the right way, or pay a "professional snowboard instructor" to watch you fall down the mountain. Just buy the book. This method really works!!! I just wish I'd found it earlier-- it would have saved me a lot of pain. To those who say that it seems too simplistic-- that's the whole point! It's easy to learn and it works! There are great photos throughout to describe every stage of proper no-fall technique. It's well written. Best of all-- it really is no fall.

This book is absolutely wonderful!!! I have recommended this book to everyone I know. EVERYONE can benifit by reading this. Whether you're an avid snowboarder, or you just someone wanting to get into shape. The writer's stretching workout is benificial for everyone wanting a strong, lean posture. Chapter 8 "Where You'll Find Me" took me to the most beautiful mountains in the world, experiencing the breathtaking beauty without leaving my livingroom. The writer finds a way to balance important information, humor, and his incredible insight into learning to snowboard without getting hurt. I say....Oprah...if you're reading this, get this writer on your show!!!! It's a Wonderful Book!

I found this book extremely helpful. For one, I do feel more balanced. Two, I'm in better shape (yummy smoothie recipe!). Three, I really liked the travel chapter-snowboarding in Morocco sounds fun!

First off, i'd like to state that the AASI DOES STATE THAT "YOUR STUDENTS WILL FALL" and that the person who wrote the previous review should really make it a habit to read things before commenting on them. Although I already know how to snowboard i purchsed this book to improve my snowboarding skills. The book not only made me a better snowboarder but totally changed the way I now view snowboarding. I found it more interesting to read than most books of its kind. I recommend this book highly to all begginers and intermediate's alike.
