Mountain Biking Skills

Breaking the sport down into lively yet informative chapters--complete with cartoons and amusing anecdotes-- Mountain Bike magazine editors cover the basics and then some. All technical skills are addressed, including bunny hopping, high-speed cornering, and the terribly elegant nose wheelie. The guide also includes a comprehensive section on cycling fitness and customizing a training program for would-be racers. No one is alienated here, but if you fancy yourself an expert rider, you might want to look elsewhere. This guide is geared more toward the novice whose journey has only just begun. *This book may have remainder mark and minor shelfware*
