The Total Dirt Rider Manual (Dirt Rider): 358 Essential Dirt Bike Skills

Peterson is a seasoned rider and writer and it shows. I can't imagine a better guidebook for all aspects of dirtbiking, both on and off the bike. I recommend it even if you think you don't need it. It's that good.What could be improved. Perhaps more pictures. For example, of the all-important "attack position." Or maybe a series of companion video snippets.But really, it's great as it is.

Amazing. This is the first review I've ever written after using Amazon for several years - had to do it because this book was so impressive. Everything from its layout to its graphics to its content is top notch. It has something for everyone from beginners to lifelong riders, kids to adults, and trail riders to mx racers, no matter the reader's previous technical know-how and tinkering abilities.I can't even express how much time, frustration, and money this book has saved me and will continue to save me over the years by showing me how to do things the right way the first time around. It provides a solid foundation in each category related to dirt riding, upon which I can do Internet searches and refer to my manuals to get the remaining answers I need specific to my bikes and my needs. Troubleshooting hints are perhaps my favorite part, because otherwise it takes hours of surfing Internet forums and filtering out the idiots to get down to answers that actually make sense.I wish there was a book like this for my other sports and hobbies.Kudos to the team that put this book together. First manual I've ever read cover to cover.

As an older dirt rider I bought this to reacquaint myself with the more current trends in dirt biking and off roading. This appears to be geared toward the novice rider or someone thinking of buying a dirt bike for the first time. That's fine as I haven't had an off road motorcycle in over twenty years. This has some great illustrations and is a nicely presented package. Won't make you an expert but gives you a basic foundation for you to gain additional information and experience. I enjoyed the suspension explanations as that has changed and improved a great deal during my time away from the sport. Worth the price.

This was exactly what i was looking for.If you're looking for insite on mechanical DIY ins and outs of basic dirt bike machanics and part replacements.. it has alot of info on that. Which was y i purchased it.But it also has alot of other info about dirt bike n the sport and selecting the right bike gear tools etc.Its a good buy especially for the price.I still havent found a book that goes in depth with top end rebuilds. If anyone knows any feel free to let me know. Thanks

I bought this book not thinking much of it and when I got it while I was really impressed the outside of it was hard and protective and has chrome tips on the edges so it works good to keep around the shop working on a bike the pictures are clear and in color and as well as the lustrations. This book is filled with a bunch of useful information it covers everything about their bikes racing trail riding maintenance you name it it's in their best 20 bucks I've spent buy it now you won't regret it

Great book! I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in having a well rounded explanation of all things moto. It is also an excellent book to have in addendum to your shop manual as many of the regular maintenance protocols are outlined, You can't go wrong with this purchase if your a beginner or novice.

Great book. Content is very good, book is very well put together, metal corners and pages are a nice thick paper. I was very surprised with how nice the book was when it arrived. I was wanting a hardcover version, after this showed up I realize why hardcovers wasn't an option, totally not needed. Would buy again.

The manual arrived in excellent condition! It is a handy reference for people new to the sport, and for experienced riders.

A comprehensive, well written book with an excellent, well designed format. Includes explanations of the principle skills & techniques needed to ride as well as info on bikes, gear, & the relevant technology. If you want to know about dirt bike riding this is THE book to get.
