    Beginners: If you have a sense of humor and like concise instructions-this could be a book for you!
  

*by S***B on Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2014*

I haven't been mountain biking yet, but t like this book. Referencing issues addressed by other reviewers. It is somewhat dated. I could tell from looking at the helmets in the pictures and the author talking about his worst crash among other smaller references.I was not put off by the text and the fact it's a cartoon makes it really easy, quick  read. Although, I have no way of knowing whether the advanced techniques are outdated, I wanted an introduction. I think the basic concepts are explained pretty well and I am not the quickest study. I also appreciated his suggestions for practicing falls, suggested dismounts, and learning in your own backyard.I think the use of humor brings the sport alive, and appreciate  the look into the "culture" of the sport. I am a pretty ambitious skier so  I can relate to it for the most part.  I mean, if you're  going to  do something dangerous, you want to feel like you are going to have fun and fit in with the other "fun hogs" on mountain. I thought this book was funny, and it made me want to give this sport a try. In my opinion,  some of the more "technical manuals"  lack this quality.As with any book about sports, you can't develop the motor skills from the book (although I seriously wish such a skiing text existed). It just gives you some idea of what you will be doing on the mountain.I was actually thinking of writing the author to tell him how much I enjoyed the book, but unfortunately he has been dead for more than a decade, which is probably why there has been no update. The copy I received was from the 13th printing,  and I feel that says something about this  book, despite the fact it lacks new information. Obviously, it should be supplemented with another book or voracious reading of internet posts related to mountain biking, but for being the most entertaining sports manual  I have ever read,  - 5 stars.

    Great book for anyone just getting into mountain biking.
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2020*

My friend loaned me this book several years ago when I first started to get into mountain biking. Now that my kids are hopefully getting into the sport, I bought my own copy for them. Although the cover may seem outdated (hey, what’s the one thing you don’t judge a book by?), the basic techniques inside are timeless and the illustrations make learning them very easy.

    I am so glad someone told me about this on a ride!
  

*by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2010*

I would have looked at the publishing date and dismissed this book entirely (and unfairly). I have not ridden single track in over ten years, and mostly got by on general good shape back then. This book is a godsend. 90% of the information and tips inside are timeless. No, it doesn't go into the advances in gear since it was written, but the basic fundamentals are spot on perfect. Do not let the publishing date turn you off, if you are trying to go beyond just rails to trails and into a bit more off road, this is a great resource. It may not be the only book you need, but it is a great starting point.
