Book Reviews of Mastering Mountain Bike Skills
Book Review: Exactly what I needed when I bought my first bike
Summary: 5 Stars
I know people don't read the 5 star reviews but this book deserves it! This book is an excellent overall source of mountain biking skills, well written and illustrated by one of the industry's biggest names.
For someone new to the sport its ideal, with simple explanations for everything from bunny hopping to pedal stroke. I've been working through the material in this book for 2 months now and I'm still learning.
The author specializes in sprint events but has also ridden with US track cycling team and won road stages, time trials and BMX events. His all round knowledge comes through in this book.
Book Review: Excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is quite excellent. I had never been mountain biking before, and read this book. When I finally went out on the trail with experienced riders, I was able to keep up, not injure myself, and generally know what was going on around me. I will say, though, that in reading the book, it seemed like all mountain bike riders were able to do the flashy stuff that was described, when in fact, I found that was not the case. However, it is good to know about. The writing style is very easy to read. There could have been a glossary, and I had to Google terms a number of times, but overall, an excellent book.Book Review: Accelerate your skills with this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! The information and the way it is expressed(clear cut, humorous and to the point) has accelerated my mt. biking skills exponentially. I have biked for a number of years and taught myself by trial and error. Trial can be frustrating if the skill isn't picked up quickly and error . . . hurts! I wish I had read this book before picking up the passion of mt. biking. I recommend this book to intermediate and advanced riders without reservation. Check it out and and see what I mean!

Book Review: For all MTBers: the best book out there
Summary: 5 Stars
Having read every MTB book I have seen and year and years of bike mags (with their "essential training tips" I have become very cynical of rehashed articles with little substance. However, Mastering Mountain Bike Skills is a book on a whole new level. Forget buying magazines for training tips and get this book, a good book on weight and a good book on cardiovascular training, end of story. And for those not into the race scene this reading and rereading this book periodically will both make you faster and take your riding to a more enjoyable level.Book Review: A "must read" for any mountain biker
Summary: 5 Stars
Mastering Mountain Biking Skills in not only the best mountain biking book I've seen, its one of the best sports training books that I've ever seen. It has tons of photos to illustrate every skill that the authors are trying to teach. It seems like a lot of love of the sport went into both the writing and making of this book - it seems like the authors really want thier readers to become the best MTB rides that they can. You will see all of the skills and techniques needed to become a great MTB rider.
