Pretty Good for a Girl: The Autobiography of a Snowboarding Pioneer
When Tina Basich grabbed her rented snowboard and headed to the mountains in Lake Tahoe, snowboarding wasn't even considered a sport . . . yet. It was the beginning, and could have easily gone the way of many other sports and become dominated by male-driven competition.

If you ever played sports or were involved in any other male dominated activity, this is the book for you. You can thank Tina Basich and her pioneering sisters for the place that women hold today in snowboarding. She also happens to be my wife's cousin so I know from personal experience that she's an amazing woman!
I enjoyed Tina's story of her life as a snowboarder. It was fun to see the changes the industry has taken and day dream about living her life. It wasn't very well written, (said the girl who can't write) but still fun to read.
LOVED this book. I'm a female snowboarder from the Tahoe area so it was great and refreshing to read the story of one of the women that pioneered snowboarding in my hometown.
Fun read for other female athletes who can identify with Tina's discovery of this "new sport" called snowboarding and her determination to own it.
This book is about the begining of snowboarding, it tells a girls struggle to stay on top and be noticed.
autobiography of Tina Basich, one of the first snowboarders.
