Snow boarding
By John Allan
Introduction by Librarian
Snowboarding is a winter sport that can be enjoyed at a recreational or professional level. It involves sliding down a snow-covered slope by using a snowboard, without the use of poles.
In Hong Kong, where the climate is subtropical, children rarely have the opportunity to experience skiing or snowboarding. This book serves as an introductory guide to winter adventure sports. It features various photos with clear and simple text, allowing readers from senior primary to junior secondary level to explore different aspects of snowboarding, which is considered one of the world’s most extreme sports.
Readers have the opportunity to learn more about the history and types of snowboarding. Meanwhile, it leads us to the mountains in Europe and U.S.A. Readers can explore various tricks and stunts, as well as techniques for selecting appropriate gear to safeguard against the cold and unpredictable weather conditions in the mountains.
By introducing some great riders, who dedicated themselves to mastering snowboarding, from beginners to Olympic gold medalists, their stories encourage readers to dive into the world of snowboarding.
