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 pizazz. This book will explain what stunts are and how they're done. It'll tell you where snowboarding came from and where it's going.
