Gain Without Pain

Learning to snowboard can be easy and painless -- with the right instruction. In this groundbreaking book, Danny Martin, the most sought-after snowboarding instructor today, teaches you how to snowboard in just three days -- and without falling. While the American Association of Snowboard Instructors tells its members, "Your students will fall," Danny Martin shows you that there can be gain without pain: he has single-handedly revolutionized the way the sport is taught, and in No-Fall Snowboarding he reveals his techniques.

Firmly grounded in physical fitness and martial arts and designed so everyone -- beginners, skiers, even seasoned snowboarders--can practice at home, No-Fall Snowboarding will teach you how to:

• Learn proper snowboarding techniques long before hitting the mountain

• Create balance with easy, specific body movements

• Find the perfect board, gear, places to board

• Get over bad habits

• Avoid typical twisting motions guaranteed to cause falling

Filled with dozens of stunning photographs by renowned photographer Mark Seliger, No-Fall Snowboarding is the go-to guide for people of all ages and skill levels who want to learn America's fastest growing sport.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stellar! I really learned something. Jan 30 2006
By Sheila Goldberg - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As an avid snowboarder, I can honestly say that this book is the bible for snowboarding. I am not one for reading directions, and that's not what this book is all about. Anyone who has failed miserably in their snowboarding lessons should read this book. It does not have to be a painful experience.

Even if you are already a snowboarder, as I am, or don't think you enjoy snowboarding, like my sister who's now convinced after I gave her this book. There's something for everyone to learn here.

Also, I read Jorge's review on Amazon before purchasing the book and I disagree with it completely. First of all, the reviewer didn't even read the book! How can you criticize something you don't know anything about?

Secondly, as for the AASI quote, that actually comes from the AASI's OWN LITERATURE--from their official magazine for members. As quoted in the book.

Danny Martin's technique actually IS different from AASI's: in fact, in the book, they evaluate the AASI technique against their's with the leading snow-sports physicist to see which is more effective at creating balance. That's actually a VERY interesting chapter. Not the kind of thing found in most snowboarding books.

In any event, I found the book to be very insightful. Read it and judge it for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Tecnique's Taught In this Book Really Works... Jan 30 2006
By Darth Raider - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
First off, i'd like to state that the AASI DOES STATE THAT "YOUR STUDENTS WILL FALL" and that the person who wrote the previous review should really make it a habit to read things before commenting on them. Although I already know how to snowboard i purchsed this book to improve my snowboarding skills. The book not only made me a better snowboarder but totally changed the way I now view snowboarding. I found it more interesting to read than most books of its kind. I recommend this book highly to all begginers and intermediate's alike.

I found this book extremely helpful. For one, I do feel more balanced. Two, I'm in better shape (yummy smoothie recipe!). Three, I really liked the travel chapter-snowboarding in Morocco sounds fun!
