Summary: The best "how to" book for all ages, skill levels.
Comment: This amusing paperback is chock full of everything anyone could want to learn about mountain biking skills. As my husband, who is a long-time motorcyclist and mountain biker, said, "This book contains all the tricks and skills it took me twenty-five years to figure out on my own!" The cartoon style and the writing style are clear, concise and extremely entertaining as well as being very educational. Through the wonderfully clear step-by step cartoons, even someone who cannot read english can learn biking skills from this book.

Summary: The Almost-Perfect Mountain Biking Guide!
Comment: I began mountain biking in January 2000, learning whatever I could from watching the other bikers (and in this sport, there's no time for others to stop and explain!) Don't want to go through the "University of Hard Knocks" to learn more of the sport? Here's the solution!
Whether if you are a new mountain biker or an experienced downhill maniac, this book will teach you the basics and perfect your technique. It provides great details on everything a mountain biker should know about arm & leg technique, taking falls, pedaling tricks, trail use and care, emergency repairs, survival techniques, mountain biking "etiquette", no-no's and even what's fashionable and what's not on the sport.
I would've rated this book 5 stars, had Nealy provided more help on mud trail mastering techniques, making clipless pedals easy and maybe a couple of dog-dodging and cow/bull evading techniques. (Mud, rocks, dirt, grass, rivers, dogs and even bulls are common on a same trail, in a country like mine - Costa Rica) Perhaps we'll see it in a second edition?
The bottom line: This book in its easy-to-understand and funny cartoon format is a must for anybody and everybody who loves mountain biking! So what are you waiting for? Another spectacular crash? Hit that "Add to Shopping Cart" button now!

Summary: Great book for beginners
Comment: I have been mountain biking for only a couple of months now and I have to say that this book has saved me from a couple of close call wipe-outs. It teaches techniques to keep from "face planting" yourself as well as basic techniques ( with illustrations) to keep your ride enjoyable.
Good job
