Great adventure book!

This was a cool book! The story is about a boy named Keegan, who skis. He gets all tangled up in a mess that surrounds the local resort--snowboarding equipment that's being stolen. In order to figure out the source of the problem, he has to trade in his skis for a snowboard, and he befriends a new snowboarder who doesn't seem dangerous, but as time goes by, questionable things happen... Quick chapters, drastic cliffhangers plots, and the author's wit is the perfect solution to keep anyone intrigued with the book, and craving more.

What's Rippin'?

Keegan Bishop is a terrific skier, but the real question is, can he snowboard? He is about to find out and find out fast in this Rippin' adventure. He finds a wire stretched across two trees and in his direct ski path. He witnesses people putting some snowboards into his team mate's van...they belong to someone else. He over hears them planning to meet at night at the top of the ski run. He gets to the top of the ski run and he has already been spotted. The guy has a gun, he hasn't yet mastered snowboarding yet, but he needs to get help and get help fast! A girl's life is in danger and so is his own! Read this book, it's great!
