Cover photo is of Todd Anderson, and the cover signature looks to be his.Complete comprehensive guide to BMX and Motocross type tricks and wild ride techniques explained and shown with full move breakdown and explanation. Quote from author Craig Barrette: But what FREESTYLIN' II: The Book has going for it, is the killer photography of Windy Osborn--confirmed by the incredible cover picture of Redline's Todd Anderson. Design and layout was done by Kurt Smith; who made BMX ACTION look as good as it did for nearly a decade. And the cast of top freestyle stars from the 80's helps make this a total BMX classic. The Book highlights all forms of riding (flatland, kickturn, ramps, and the beginnings of "street"). The "basic" advice from famous-at-the-time riders such as Eddie Fiola, R.L.Osborn, Dizz Hicks, Ceppie Maes, Woody Itson and a young Matt Hoffman (to name just a few) can still apply today for the beginner freestyler. Sure, the tricks that Mirra and Nyquist pull off today are waaaaaay beyond what is shown in this book, but everyone has to start at the beginning in their riding and this book shows how. Obviously, many of the "old school" tricks demonstrated are really out of date, but give 'em five or ten years and they'll probbaly come back in to popularity in some manner. Profusely illustrated. Thoroughly engaging. Excellent resource and guide. 142 pages, firmly readable. Paperback : vintage soft cover edition in good clean condition, a typical used book with some slight wear to edges and spine. As to be expected with used books, there may be some minor bumping, creases, and/or scuffs. Overall a good copy, excellent resource and reading enjoyment. Condition: Used, but overall in nice condition, good plus to very good minus, most the wear is on the cover, and there is a faint water stain on the back 10 or so pages. ~ We appreciate your consideration of one of our books, art prints or novelty items.
