Author Description

Snowboard is one of the youngest sports in the Olympics, and it was once viewed as the sport of "bad boys" and "rebels." It might have lost some of that rowdy image, but it still has its pop pizzazz. Snowboarders do stunts with names like "540," "double grab," "caballerial," and "burger flip." This book will explain what these tricks are and how they're done. It'll tell you where snowboarding came from and where it's going. And you'll meet some of the most colorful characters you'll find in any sport.
