Book Reviews of Mountain Bike!: A Manual of Beginning to Advanced Technique
Book Review: Mountain Bike!
Summary: 5 Stars
In 2008, maybe a little dated as far as things like 'clip-in' pedals, but content and technique is spot on, and very humorous. A worthwhile read every year. I've given a copy to several mtb. riders. A great book to just thumb through all the time. Excellent!
Summary of Mountain Bike!: A Manual of Beginning to Advanced Technique
If you're looking for the ultimate mountain bike guide for the totally honed, welcome to William (Not Bill) Nealy's world.Nealy's expertise (acquired through years of crash-and-burn) enables him to translate hard-learned reflexes and instinctive responses into easy-to-understand drawings: drawings that will make you into a much better rider.
Nealy's cartoon illustrations combine insight with humor and knowledge with humiliation. So, if you are ready to shorten the learning curve and master the advanced techniques of mountain biking, get ready to have some laughs and log a few miles with William Nealy.
At first glance, you may think that Nealy isn't serious about teaching riding skills. The hand-printed pages--colored with hilarious animations--give the guide a comic-book appearance. But instead of assaulting his readers with dry chapters on technique, Nealy leads his readers on an entertaining tour of the mountain-biking world and how to survive it. He explains how to bunny hop, how to downhill, how to ride powerfully, and how to crash with style. He also includes a "Stupid Bike Tricks" section. One trick, The Invisible Mountain Biker, explains how to jump off of your bike and let it glide, unmanned, across the path of frightened hikers. Note that Nealy advises against heaving your bike into a crowd of hikers. Existing laws prohibit it.
Whether you're a pro who's ready to soar through flaming hoops, or the neophyte who's merely searching for the pedals, Nealy's guide is bound to be fun--and isn't that what mountain biking is all about? --Ben Tiffany
