Book Description
Back Cover copy
It has the fringe feel of extreme sports, but just about anyone can do it, just about anywhere. (You don't even need a mountain--honest.)
Strickland writes from his own experience--and he takes you along. He's become the mountain biker he would've wanted to ride with as a novice. Could've saved him a lot of troubles, he says. And skin.
It's skill-intensive: You'll need plenty of techniques and tricks--stuff that's simple to understand and enact, but not so easy to discover on your own. Bill Strickland can show you what you don't even know you're missing.
This book is packed with all the nuts and bolts of equipment and techniques, with real-life examples. It's like the best mountain bike ride: loose, expert, and a little in love with the unexpected.
