Snowboarding at it purest

I really got alot out of this book, if you want to save yourself a beating on the run's this is for you!

The book was great.

I really liked the book The Complete Snowboarder. It is full of a lot of useful information on how to get started snowboarding. It explains not only the basics but also how to do tricks. I would recommend this book to anyone who has even the slightest interest in snowboarding because once they read it they won't be able to wait for the snow to fall.

Great Learn-How-to-Board Book!

Great introduction to snowboarding. Provides all the language and techniques, from beginner to expert. It works best to reread it again after a few times out as you will pick up on many of the tips and techniques once you learn how the basic moves feel. I kept my copy in the car and reread some sections over lunch on my first day. Especially important to read the section on getting off of the chair lift. This has saved me from many falls, while I have watched others flounder and get injured for not following the advice. Still need to take a lesson first time out, but it will all make sense alot sooner.
