Who needs lessons? March 11, 2008
N. B. Croucher (UK)
Having studied this book/DVD I learnt to snowboard in a 3 days, and could get down green/blue slopes fairly confidently. I had the advantage of being able to ski already (though being nearly 50 didn't help). There is still lots to work on the next time I'm in the alps, so I'll be using the book again next year.
Excellent tuition February 17, 2008
Mr. D. Hocking
This is an excellent book written in an easy to understand format. The included DVD is also ideal to see the theory actually in practice. This is great for beginners and will undoubtedly contain something that will improve your riding. The pressure point method for turns is superb. Recommended.
Brilliant book to learn from January 29, 2008
Mr. Yousef A. Syed (London, United Kingdom)
This is the first time I've come across a guide that was so detailed and well explained.
All my previous lessons have been at French resorts, so to finally be taught in English makes a big difference.
The accompanying DVD really does make a difference (and access to a nearby indoor slope, helps too!).
It is the first time I've heard the concept of pressure/weight distribution described in a manner that is easy to understand - I can suddenly ride switch without effort and have even started hitting kickers - so it definitely works.
I hope an advanced course comes out to teach how all the various flat-land tricks etc are performed.
I highly recommend it to anyone that is starting out and also to those intermediate/advanced riders that want to reach the next level (Free-riding & Free-style).

I have just come back from the French Alps having learnt to snowboard for the first time. I am profoundly deaf and found it difficult to understand everything the snowboard instructors say and therefore this book is a brilliant resource for me as it confirmed what I understood from the instructors that I needed to do with snowboarding and filled in the gaps for the bits I didn't hear from the instructors. And the book is a brill tool to take me to the next stage!! I can't wait to go back again next year!!!

Neil's book is the first snowboard title I've encountered that covers the modern foot-steering technique. That alone would make it stand out from the crowd, but it goes far beyond that. The book covers the "McNab Four Point Pressure Control System", a new evolution in snowboard technique that is suitable for the whole spectrum of riders - from complete beginners to the advanced and experienced.
I had the pleasure of learning the system on one of the McNab Technical Performance Clinics last year and it is an utter joy to use - very powerful, very natural and suitable for all kinds of terrain and conditions.
As a qualified instructor, I can highly recommend this book to both novices looking for some up-to-date background reading, as well as more established snowboarders looking to take their riding to the next level. The text is clear and readable, the photos and diagrams support the information presented, and the book is broken down into small sections which are great for flicking through. Adding a DVD was a stroke of genius - although short, seeing the exercises in action really helps to get the ideas across. Snowboarding is not a static activity!
If you want to discover how to ride snowboards using a modern, efficient and solid technique do yourself a favour and buy this book.
