Really enjoyable and informative read
I really enjoyed this little book. It was written some time ago, but there is a lot of wisdom in each of the chapters and the concepts are just as relevant today. The writing style is engaging and the author is clearly enthusiastic about the subject, which makes this a very enjoyable read.

Worthwhile read
Well written and informative. It’s a great book for any trail rider at any skill.Some information will be redundant for the experienced. But I gleaned several things that improved my riding experience. That made the purchase and read worthwhile.Yes, you can find most if not all of this information on the web. But also lots of info that doesn’t work is just plain wrong.

Good book, terrible printing
Easy read with great detail and lots of pictures, but the printing is lousy. The left pages through the whole book have incorrect margins so that the print runs into the spine.

A must read!
I'm 45 years young and brand new to dirt bikes. I've had my bike about 3 months and logged about 400km's in a variety of terrain. I've fallen off plenty of times with no injuries and despite riding with groups of experienced riders and watching "how-to" DVD's, I was still missing the basics.This book was excellent in educating me on the basics of bike setup, balance and control techniques.Probably the biggest lesson for me was to get my bike setup so it was comfortable to be in the standing position. I was spending too much time sitting down and expecting to be able to have both feet flat on the ground when stopped. This was the wrong setup from the start and had previously made standing uncomfortable.I can highly recommend this book to both novice and experienced riders.

Off-Road Life Coach
Come December of this year (2011) I will have logged 42 years of off-road riding. Not to shabby for a man of 49, however this man I speak of (myself) has less than a stellar career to show for his years of dedication. I cannot remember a first place trophy, I think I logged a 2nd place and then had a 28 year dry spell before I finished 5th in the 125 B class enduro somewhere in the pine barrens of New Jersey. Not long after that I finished 2nd in the 250 B class at a national enduro in Park Hills Mo. A particularly miserable race because A: It rained all week prior and most of the day 4: I had a jetting problem so I fouled 6 spark plugs D: Having fouled 6 plugs and finally running out of replacements I fell 1 mile short of completing one of two loops. I had to be towed in behind a quad. But I finished 2nd so that's pretty cool.Had I had Mr. Clippers 33 tips 42 years ago my racing career might have garnered more plastic trophies. Don't let this happen to you, consider hiring an off-road life coach, when it comes to off-road Mr. Clippers book is a bargain.

Absolutely enjoyable read!
This book was amazing! A lot of what you'll learn here will carry over all aspects of your riding, especially on the street. The nature of the terrain may change, but the principles stay the same. I highly recommend this book to any and every type of rider who wants to ride better.

Great book overall
More aimed at the already familiar, The Art of TrailRiding still covers the basic to the advanced. This is more "how to use the bike" rather than "how to ride a bike". Good for the person thats has seen some trail rides already and may have gotten into one of the situations that Paul describes in the book. How to handle a rut, how to properly hit a berm, how to keep control on off camber trails, etc. I've read it over the past few days and have already applied a couple of the techniques from the book with success. Good read. :)
