Told she would never be as good as the men that she competed with, Basich has gone on to become a pioneer in the Olympic sport of snowboarding. She now offers a unique female perspective on life in an exciting group that began with a small group of misfits and ex-skateboarders. 50 photos.
From the Back Cover
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.
But not with Tina on the scene . . .
Comments like "You're pretty good . . . for a girl" only pushed her harder to be the best and to prove she was more than just a token player on the slopes. Representing for women everywhere, she became a snowboarding all-star, started her own signature board and clothing lines for women, founded Boarding for Breast Cancer, and followed her heart, which led her on the adventure of a lifetime.
This is her story.
