K-3SportsZone: Extreme Sports Stars series.
These biographies cursorily profile extreme athletes, focusing on their wins at the X Games and other competitions. Fans will be most interested in the full-page and -spread photos showing the athletes flipping through the air on their BMX bikes, snowboards, or skateboards. The black and neon paint-splattered graphics and some poorly reproduced photos make for an unattractive design. Timeline. Glos., ind. Review includes these Extreme Sports Stars titles: Jamie Bestwick, Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins Pastrana, Tony Hawk, and Torah Bright.
