Concise!

This is probably the most concise how-to snowboard book I ever read and I read many. Two pages to teach you how to set up your equipment, two pages to teach you how to turn, two pages to teach you some freestyle maneuvers including ollies and 180 spins, well you get the point. I'm giving this five stars because snowboarding is just that simple! I've read 300+ pages book on how-to snowboard and that to me is just insane. I am not professional or even expert but I can make nice carve turns and I think that is what everyone who is starting snowboarding or reading these books want to achieve: to make nice turns. You are not going to be an expert or the next Shaun White just by reading books. The books are only going to help get started and keep the initial stages a less painful experience. After that, it is up to the reader to practice and practice some more in order to reach the next level.

my 8 year old borrowed this book from the library & now wants his own copy. as much as he enjoys the summer (he practices the tips on his skateboard), he is looking foward to the winter to try out the snowboarding tips from the book.
