Many riding styles covered. Sections on bike setup and handling. Cons Nada Verdict My girl bough this book for me about a year ago and it definitely instilled confidence in my riding abilities. It not only makes you want to go out and ride but gives you ideas for a goal to accomplish on your ride as well. Pick up a copy and enjoy. reviewed by Bombardier   on November 19, 2007   Pros This book covers all the bases. It is full of great illustrations, diagrams, and anecdotes that do an awesome job of being informative & humorous, while also reinforcing the skills & techniques taught in the book. It is a great book for riders of all skill levels and disciplines. Cons Absolutely none! Verdict This book has been featured (by excerpt) in Mountain Bike Magazine, and with good reason. But instead of trying to track down the issues featuring excerpts from the book, just go out and buy it! It's worth the cover-price, and is a great anytime (bathroom especially!) read.
