From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-Three introductions to non-team athletic activities that have been dubbed "extreme." Each book gives a brief history of the sport, advice on selecting equipment, safety, basic skills, and competition. The books are eye-catching and easy to read, and the full-color photographs on every page feature teens and young adults. The sidebars are filled with helpful tips and explanations of inside lingo. Shelley Youngblut's Way Inside ESPN's X Games (Hyperion, 1998) is a thorough examination of extreme sports for older readers.
