Review

Mastering Mountain Bike Skills describes himself as for anyone who wants to ride better, faster, or more confidence. It helps you to master skills in all types of terrain in almost any type of situation: cross country, freeride, downhill, dirt jumping, mountain biking, urban land, and even skateboard parks.

The book is well organized and the topics flow well. The chapters cover the selection and bike setup, balance, pedaling position, field pumping speed, braking, cornering, wheelies and hops, drops, jumping, large lines speed, and race.

With more photos and 100 color diagrams of specific actions and adjustments, the authors illustrate the important but often overlooked, the subtleties of the techniques presented.

The book attempts to detail principles for beginners and experts, and does an excellent job overall.

A glossary would be helpful. Authors and publishers often forget that everyone knows the meaning of slang words such as rail and carving. Even if explained at first use, a glossary of terms would improve the bike book.

I read this book straight through, but whom you wish to keep and refer to often as you drive, develop, and practical skills. There are excellent tips for people at all levels of expertise and experience.

Verdict

This is one of the best books ever published about mountain biking skills, and contains excellent information on the skills of mountain biking, one of the most skilled riders, who all lived. If you're a mountain biker, get this book, even if only to look at the pictures.

Get a copy and enjoy!
