This review is from: Bicycling Magazine's Mountain Biking Skills: Tactics, Tips, and Techniques to Master Any Terrain (Paperback)
I prefer the other Mountain Bike Magazine's "Complete Guide to Mountain Biking Skills", which has better illustration/pictures to show you how the situation looks like.

This review is from: Bicycling Magazine's Mountain Biking Skills: Tactics, Tips, and Techniques to Master Any Terrain (Paperback)
I purchased this book yesterday and was impressed immediately. The book has a lot of excellent tips on every aspect of MTB. Another added bonus is the drills it has to help to develop increased riding skills.The tips are set up to gradually build confidence as you progress. The tips by some of the pros Overend and Susan Dematte for example are great. If you are looking for a book to help with all aspects of MTB this is the one to get. I will be recommending this book to friends and that is for sure.
