X-Moves
This series describes six extreme sports. Each volume presents a brief history of the sport, special techniques used, and principal personalities and their accomplishments (although the majority of the participants highlighted are male, a few are female, giving the series somewhat broader interest). The choppy but readable texts are enhanced with sidebars and action photographs.

Readers may not have tried, or even witnessed, many of these sports in person. Nonetheless, they will welcome these overviews that feature short sentences coupled with colorful action photographs, and that all include at least one famous female competitor. History, basics, and important competitions are covered in a spread each, with text on one page and a full-page photograph on the other (many photos show superstars wearing the recommended helmets and other safety gear). Interesting fact boxes further explain concepts from the narratives. Closing “101” sections detail the equipment necessary.
