Here is the essential beginner's guide to the fastest growing sport in the country according to the National Sporting Goods Association. The most important questions--how to stop, how to turn, and how to avoid the crash and burn syndrome--are answered because the author takes the reader along as he learns the sport himself. Basic gear, preparation, technique, and safety are also discussed.
I usually don't bother reviewing, but this book is exceptional!I got it (and about 4 other Snowboarding books, which were too long and intimidating) when I started learning how to snowboard.This book gave me all the basic moves and techniques I needed to get on the slopes and make the most out of the two classes I took. By the third time on the snow I was turning, carving and feeling great about my progress.Concise and easy to understand, highly recommended, Don't bother with any other book!
Doug Warner is awesome!
