The Art of Falling: Freestyle Slalom Skating

An easy read which will arm anyone interested in freestyle slalom with the tools needed to get underway. Includes in depth and easy to understand explanations. I will be referring to this book again and again.

I didn’t know much about slalom. This book opened my perspective and gave me an idea about getting into it, the material, how to approach the discipline...Highly recommended

This book is a great entry point into learning freestyle slalom. It gets to the heart of what needs to be learned to do the basic tricks. My only critique is that is should have come with an accompanying video, either cd/dvd or internet link, to show the critical phases of what Naomi is describing in her book. Unfortunately, some of the moves are difficult to visualize and a video showing it would have clarified the points she is making. Otherwise a well written primer book. I haven't seen anything posted on the internet by Naomi in many years, so not sure if she is still around skating. Too bad since she is such a great skater and teacher.

Nice book. Very original and providing a lot of information not only for the begginers.

Although I am aware of most of the facts and tricks discussed in this book, it was really eye-opening for me, and put things into different perspective.

Enjoyable book full of lots of good facts. The skatefresh app on iTunes has been really helpful as well.

Love the book! Very useful and detail!

Good for me. From scratch to a relatevely advanced skater.
