A couple of summers ago writer Jess Eveleigh came over for a couple of nights during one of our dirtgirls weeks. She was just starting to write The Girl’s Guide to Action Sports and wanted to speak to female bikers and find out more about dirtgirls and girlie biking things. She was great fun to have around and a really inspiring person to meet. Her book’s hitting stores at the beginning of March. Pre-order on amazon.co.uk or get to your local book store asap to get hold of it. I have no doubt it’ll be a great read, but if you want to find out more blurb is below…..
The Girl’s Guide to Action Sports
Everything you need to get started in style!
By Jessica Eveleigh
The Girl’s Guide to Action Sports introduces women to five leading action sports: adventure racing, mountain biking, climbing, snowboard and surfing. Not only does it show you how to enjoy these sports, it also highlights the fitness, body shape and confidence benefits.
The women’s action sports market is rapidly growing, and this is the first title aimed exclusively at women, particularly those new to the world of action sports.
The book has a magazine feel featuring a beautiful design, decorative colour illustrations and lots of boxed text and features. It covers specific areas including:
• Everything you need to know to get started
• Mind, body and soul benefits
• Step-by-step guides to gear, training and techniques
• Where to travel to take your sport further
• How to survive your first competition
