Hannah TeterMastering Snowboarding

I have been snowboarding for about 6 years by now but this season I decided it was time to get into competitive riding. But before I could start that, I had to brush up on my skills, as I had only ever really taken one lesson at he beginning of my time riding. I didn't know what to expect from this book, and I thought it would be solely geared towards beginners, but it has been super helpful. It's an easy, fun read with great pictures that can help you learn the tricks with ease.If you are an experienced rider like me and are looking to move forward with your riding and possibly get a career started, this book has some great advice as well as does a wonderful job of covering the basics of what you need to know.As well as using this book for myself, I currently have a student and I had him read this book. The results could be seen easily. He was soon carving much better and smoother, had a much better stance, and even decided to set up his own board and adjust his bindings to fit him better. Reading this gave him a lot of confidence to try the new things he wasn't ready to try before, because it explained them in a new way.Overall, great buy. I'd recommend it highly.

I recently bought two books off this site and I love both of them. "Sammy The Shredder" is great for young children to introduce them to the basics of snowboarding! It has great animated illustrations and is very reader friendly for children and adults. Yes I read it! I also purchased "Mastering Snowboarding" and it has very good information whether you are a beginner or a long time snowboarder! There are many tricks to be learned and they are well diagrammed. Again this book is very user friendly, and takes you step by step on how to improve your snowboarding skills. I highly reccomend this book for the novice snownboarder or the expert snowboarder! The authors are very well connected to the ultimate snowboarding experience.

I felt compelled to write a review after seeing so many positive reviews on Amazon. I'm not sure what book those others are reading or if those other reviewers have ever read other snowboarding books, but I for one did not find this book useful. I am an intermediate rider looking to get more information on carving, initiating turns with rotation vs counter rotation on different kinds of terrain. I could not even find these essential terms in the book let alone see a chapter with diagrams. Honestly, I greatly prefer Kindle titles, but save your time and money and get the Snowboarding Illustrated soft bound book. It's absolutely fantastic, and I need to order another one cuz I can't find my copy.

The best beginners guide to snowboarding. Extremely comprehensive as it covers every aspect of the sport from the clothing and supplies to terrain and tricks.

I was looking for a good book to get me ready for the new season and this really help! All the information on the history of the sport, beginner through advanced tricks; it was great!

Good for snowboarders of all levels. I am just learning g how to do tricks and tried a fee of the tips in this book yestrrday. Easy to read and great picture demonstrations.

Found this book to have great information for any level rider in snowboarding. Learned alot of new information and techniques, great for anyone who likes to ride!

Very well written book. It outlines the basics to bangers. I really enjoyed the book and it was easy to read.
