    Lee McCormack is one of the most effective bicycle skills authors and instructors in the world. Since the first edition of Mastering Mountain Bike Skills was published, McCormack has taught thousands of riders of all ages, from first timers to top pros, to ride better, faster, and safer. As the skills development director for the National Interscholastic Cycling Association, Lee created the curriculum and training manual used to train high school mountain bike coaches throughout the United States. Thanks to this program, more teens are having more fun—and riding more safely.

    Lee’s writing and infographics have appeared in many cycling and general interest publications, and he has contributed to two International Mountain Biking Association books. Back in his newspaper days, McCormack was part of the team that won the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for public service.

    McCormack enjoys all styles of riding from pump track to dirt jump to slalom to slopestyle to trail and downhill. The better Lee gets at teaching, the better he gets at riding. He’s having more fun than ever!

    McCormack lives in Boulder, Colorado, with his wife, Arlette, their girls Finley and Fiona, and their Hungarian Pumi named Winner. Their adult children Kate and Ian are off doing great things.

This book is awesome. It is a wealth of BMX knowledge. It would literally take a lifetime to experience and learn everything that this book will teach you. Lee presents all this in a easy to understand "racer talk" and only gets" technical"when necessary. Then he explains that! Every serious BMX racer should own a copy! The BMX Bible! I look forward to learning for years and years to come! Thanks Lee McCormack, Coach G. and Danny and Jason! Braaaap!

This is a great book! Very easy to read and understand. My 11 year old has found it very useful and the pics are great for examples. I have noticed a good bit of improvement on his riding techniques in just a weeks time. I would recommend this book to any parent. Especially to a parent that does not have much knowledge on BMX racing techniques.

The book covers many basic and advanced skills for bike riding. Although more specific to BMX, some of the skills applies to other types of bike as well. After riding for over 30 years, it never occur to me that turning my hip towards where I want to go can help tighten the turning radius till I read it in this book.

The book is great. Covers all aspects of BMX racing from choosing to setting up you bike to the basic skills and more advanced racing tips. There is also a section on training, although it doesn't have a plan for everyone you can get a flavour and design your own plan. The book is also very easy to read and is an interesting read even if you aren't fully into BMX bikes. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dated, but good guide for racing fundamentals
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2021
Verified Purchase
BMX has changed a lot in 45 years. The BMX racing book I have from the late 1980's would be considered unsportsmanlike conduct today, especially strategy in turns. This particular book was written in 2010, and BMX has evolved a lot in the 2020's. Some material is dated, some is still spot on for today and tomorrow. That being said, Pro BMX Skills has fundamentals and is an overall good guide. If you are coaching your kids this is a great book. Sit and read with them and hit the track to do some training. Be warned if you are over 40 don't try anything in this book at full speed because you aren't an Olympian and aren't 16 anymore. You'll end up hurt and/or dead.

This is a great resource. As a 32 year old, just getting back into the sport, I found it concise and focused. It explains the science behind the sport without sounding scientific. Definitely a good book for adults, young adults, and the parents of young BMXers. Also, the pictures are super helpful.

This books contains a wealth of knowledge for those who are just starting BMX as well as those who have done it for years. Naturally it doesn't replace a good coach but it gives you all the information you might ever need to get started.
