Customer Reviews

I would put nothing else on my coffee table, personally

If you snowboard, this book is necessary for your coffee table. It consists of information on the history of snowboarding, great pictures, and profiles of influential riders who shaped, led, or enhanced the sport, including Tom Sims, Burton, Shaun White, Terje, Tara Dakides, and more. I found it to be a well-rounded read on snowboarding history. I liked it so much that I got a few as Christmas/Hanukkah gifts for some of my friends on the snowboard team.

I've been waiting for a book like this! Thanks what a fun read.

I really enjoyed going from back to snowboardings roots then ending up where we are today.... I would recommend this book to anyone who loves the ride or just looking for a good read.
