Mastering Mountain Bike Skills Review: Good Choice for Beginner - Birthday gift for 10-year old. Liked I could preview the text and comprehension level before purchase, as well as general direction of information for this very capable bicyclist, but neophyte mountain biker. Giftee began reading it immediately, forgetting about other gifts still to be opened. Review: WORTH THE MONEY - I've been doing MTB for many many many years. Finally got a modern bike about 1 year ago and went nuts. Bought the whole family Mountain bikes and we have great trails we can access right from the house. We ride a lot. My kids are now 13, 10 and 7 they have all been biking from age 3. I've been struggling to teach them things that really stick, no matter how many mountain bike channels we watch on YouTube, nothing comes close to the practical teaching in the book. My riding has improved immensely in 2 weeks in ways I did not expect, and as a bonus, much of the material can be explained to the kids (and wife) in ways that have materially impacted their riding too. I looked at this book and thought, lame, how can a book out do GMBN or Seth or other MTB channels? It DOES and does is massively for you and for anyone you need to TEACH. I can't recc it high enough. Concise, humorous, and effective. You and anyone in your orbit can learn to ride with confidence, safety and skill. This book has been a game changer for me personally and my family. And for once, something desertcart sells that was not made in China... ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #110,570 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Bike Repair #6 in Mountain Biking #25 in Extreme Sports (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (800) | | Dimensions | 8.75 x 0.75 x 11 inches | | Edition | Third | | ISBN-10 | 1492544493 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1492544494 | | Item Weight | 2.34 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 328 pages | | Publication date | July 24, 2017 | | Publisher | Human Kinetics | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![Mastering Mountain Bike Skills - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dxYn3noUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Choice for Beginner *by C***S on November 17, 2025* Birthday gift for 10-year old.

Still was a ton of fun, so I immediately set out to find a book on how one is to learn to ride, or actually shred. This is by far the best choice and most up-to-date. If you aren't rad enough to speak fluent Californian already, never fear, the glossary will have you up to speed in a hurry. My riding became 100% less scary and 100% more fun in just a couple rides, I am steadily improving as I learn to apply the skills and principles taught in this book. You can pick up a lot from YouTube too, in fact the author Lee McCormack appears in a lot of videos there, so you can fill in the gaps or concepts in the book you don't understand. And outstanding value, if they ever make a 4th edition I'll be sure to buy that one too.
