Snowboarding Blast Snowboard Half Pipe

Each title in this informative series covers a different type of snowboarding event or competition, such as half-pipe or big air snowboarding. There is a vocabulary list covering subject-specific terminology, such as berm, at the beginning of each ­title so readers can look out for those terms as they read. There is also a more ­traditional glossary of vocabulary at the end of each book.The rules of different events, the history of these sub-types of snowboarding and when they were first included in the Olympics or the X Games are all discussed. ­Written at a second- to third-grade level, these titles could excite winter sports fans through eighth grade.
