Publisher's Note Snowboarding is exploding in popularity across the U.S.A. and around the world and by the 1998 Winter Olympics it will be a full-medal event. Mike Fabbro's Snowboarding is a complete guide to this wild, and wildly popular, new sport. Written in an informal but authoritative style, it provides the bottom line on all the basic equipment, clothing, and other paraphernalia required, and contains lots of tips and hints for getting started.
Industry Reviews YA This comprehensive guide to a popular sport gives a background history of snowboarding's derivation from skiing, surfing, and skateboarding, and includes descriptions of equipment, technique, and upkeep of specific paraphernalia. With many sidebars and cartoons in black and white, it goes on to detail complex maneuvers, giving information on competitions and touching upon a wide array of topics about this rising sport.
