3.0 out of 5 stars Great book if you don't know many tricks., 22 Jun 2009
By Mr. C. J. Smith (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was a real education in all the tricks. Now I know my body varials from my cabalaerials. Loads of pictures but it takes some working out where the skater is in relation to the surface as they're a bit ropey. Still a good book, and good descriptions. I liked the variety of old skool/new skool tricks and ramp and street.
