About this title

Synopsis

Introduces the sport of snowboarding, with advice for beginners on equipment, techniques, competition, and safety.

From School Library Journal

Gr 5-8-These books all begin with a paragraph explaining the use of the word "extreme," followed by discussions of the history of the sport, the equipment needed to get started, techniques, and safety considerations. While the series title implies that these books would be most appropriate for advanced and aggressive practitioners, they do offer information for beginners. The well-placed, full-color photographs include many action shots that create a fluid movement of their own. All of the titles have lists of books, magazines, videos, related Web sites, and camps and competitions. They are more detailed and for a slightly older age group than the "Radical Sports" series (Heinemann Library).-Rachel Fox, Port Washington Public Library, NY
