Pretty Good For a Girl,
Snowboard Book Review
When Tina Basich grabbed her rented snowboard and headed to the mountains in Lake Tahoe, snowboarding wasn't even considered a sport... yet. It was the beginning, and could have easily gone the way of many other sports and become dominated by male-driven competition. But not with Tina on the scene... Comments like "You're pretty good... for a girl" only pushed her harder to be the best and to prove she was more than just a token player on the slopes.
Representing for women everywhere, she became a snowboarding all-star, started her own signature board and clothing lines for women, founded Boarding for Breast Cancer, and followed her heart, which led her on the adventure of a lifetime.
The book starts with her first snowboard adventures to boys in school and family life. She tells a snowboard story from a girls point of view. I think the book is really good and enjoyed every page of it. This woman was a pioneer in woman snowboarding with out even wanting to be one. The book takes you through all the stages of her life up to recent years. All snowboarder girls should read this book, it is very inspiring and makes you wanna go out there and make some turns. I give it 5 stars.
