I thought this book provided a thoughtful explanation about how to improve your snowboarding techniques. Smith's easy-to-understand descriptions, and the accompanying photographs, provide the information you need to broaden your skills, and make you a better boarder.

The author takes the time to go through snowboarding and its progressions as you learn various skills in snowboarding. Great experienced knowledge for beginners that you can only get from a veteren snowboarder. A great book for the begginner and intermediate snowboarder. The photos are excellent as well.
Editorial Review:
"The premier guide to modern riding, from one of the sport’s best coaches."
--Tim Windell, two-time World Cup co-champion
In The Art of Snowboarding, USSA-certified club coach Jim Smith introduces you to the most popular tricks and stunts, including kickers (jumps) and other freestyle and half-pipe techniques, and stunts on rails and wood. He gives special emphasis to proper stance and turning techniques as the basis for more advanced moves. Time-lapse photographs demonstrate every step of every trick and technique, and dozens of additional photos show you the form of some of the country’s best riders.
