Review Quotes: Series Review: Super Skateboarding "This comprehensive examination of the sport offers a wide range of information, from biographies of stars to details about popular competitions and parks. Readers can practice the stunts and flip tricks that are described, as well as learn about possible future trends. Many detailed and captioned color photographs portray action sequences that express the drama of the stunts. All photos show skaters wearing protective equipment while performing tricks. Fans will relish the thorough coverage of this topic whether they use the book that is best for reports (Business of Skateboarding), the one that is purely for entertainment value (Competitive Skateboarding), or the other titles, which will work well for both purposes." --Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA, School Library Journal
