My snowboard bible! Kevin Ryan has the rare ability to combine practical, technical and humorous info in a readable style.5 stars (Very Good Instruction and Info) - This actually is a very well written and thorough book. I also have "The Complete Snowboarder", which (to me, anyway) is not nearly as insightful and useful, although it is a good book.Of course, it is obvious that the best way to get better is to ride, but . . . if you want to read some of the best descriptions of the mechanics of snowboarding, this book has it.Get some lessons, of course, but I really think that beginners thru intermediates can learn at least a few things from this book. I personally learned a LOT. Highly highly recommend.2 stars (Don't Buy) - You cannot learn how to snowboard without actually being out on the hill and actually putting ideas into action. Take lessons on the hill, don't bother buying this book. I've been snowboarding for a few years and am fairly good, this book did not improve my riding anymore than one more day on the hill improves my riding. my suggestion...instead of buying this book to get better, take a lesson. If you can already ride fairly good, instead of buying this to get better, simply go shred as much as you can, try a few new things (such as rails, jumps, and powder) and you will get better.
