Gecko Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 the last thing I was expecting the day before I went to sea was to find a book on carving especially in Japan however I found an interseting little Mook on Mathieu Bozzetto's carving style...Japan has lots of Mook's like this (Mook= magazine+book) taking a noteable Gaigin and and having him contribute to a guide book...I've seen them on MTB, BMX, windsurfing, even kiteskiing but I wan't expecting one this good on Carving. All the text is in Japanese so it's only usefull for the Photos however those are pretty good, though most of the sequences are screen caps itere are laso a bunch of stills that explain stance and such. It looks to be a more race oriented style but it's the closest thing I have found to todays carving style...it also gives me something to stare at while I'm out to sea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltie Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Gecko, If possible, could you either post a scan of the front cover or post the name on the cover? Want to try to locate some copies here in Nagoya. Thanks! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 about half of the screencaps are taken from Races which for someone like me who doesn't get to see racing much is also very cool. Of course with luck I'm gonna try running gates next year not that I expect to be anything great just that I'm sure it will improve my riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Clue maybe Jan however I can give you the ISBN ISBN4-7899-1178-0 It was listed and 1300Y Bozzetto rides for F2 (well all the boards he's riding in the book are F2's There is also a section called Technic of Rivals with sequenses of JJ Anderson, Dejan Kosir, Siegfried Grabner and Gilles Jaquet...JJA really has a forward leaning stance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty good isn't it? I wish someone it the english speaking world would publish a book of this sort. Or at least in french that I could read enough of to understand the concepts.

LeeW Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 well, the way i see it, its a good way for me to learn japanese writing. I grew up watching nihongo anime. So hope it'd work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
