Reviews for Mastering Skateboarding
Having come from a generation of skateboarding that was very experimental, I'm reassured to know that there are now high-quality instructions and tutorials for learning the tricks that we struggled with for so many years.
TonyHawk, Legendary Skateboarder and Entrepreneur All other sports have coaches and how-to books. Skating is such a different animal, but it is also a very precise and dangerous sport. Having someone give you the small insights into the techniques involved in skating is invaluable.
