Reviews of “Off the Chain”
 Off the Chain“The winds from that storm continue to blow through Rebagliati's life…Off The Chain, An Insider's History of Snowboarding… [the book] traces the history of snowboarding from a toy called a Snurfer … to today's multi-million dollar industry…It also follows Rebagliati's introduction to the sport, his climb through the competitive ranks and his experience at the Nagano Games. He made history by winning the first Olympic gold in snowboarding, was stripped of the medal because of the positive test, then had it returned after officials realized marijuana was not on the list of banned substances at the time.” The Canadian Press, Dec 6, 2009 Read more about Off the Chain >> |
Off the Chain“‘This book is the evolution of snowboard racing from the guy who really was at the leading edge of that,’ explains Rob Sanders, vice-president and publisher of Greystone…one of the book’s most interesting sections is Rebagliati’s account of his win, subsequent loss, and regaining of his gold medal. Sanders wouldn’t reveal any details, but emphasized that it was a “tough story” for Rebagliati to write.” Quill and Quire, Jul 2, 2009 Read more about Off the Chain >> |
