Snowboard

This entertaining series features fascinating quick-reference guides to all the Winter Olympic sports and events. Filled with fun facts, dramatic stories, and dynamic photographs, each book is a terrific guide to both historical and current records, as well as to the reigning Olympic champions. Snowboard is one of the youngest sports in the Olympics, and it was once viewed as the sport of ‘bad boys’ and ‘rebels’. It might have lost some of that rowdy image, but it still has its pop pizzazz. Snowboarders do stunts with names like ‘540’, ‘double grab’, ‘caballerial’, and ‘burger flip’. This book will explain what these tricks are and how they’re done. It’ll tell you where snowboarding came from and where it’s going.
