How Angel Peterson Got His Name: And Other Outrageous Tales about Extreme Sports (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780440229353)

WHEN YOU GROW up in a small town in the north woods, you have to make your own excitement. High spirits, idiocy, and showing off for the girls inspire Gary Paulsen and his friends to attempt:

- Shooting waterfalls in a barrel

- The first skateboarding

- Breaking the world record for speed on skis by being towed behind a souped-up car, and then . . . hitting gravel

- Jumping three barrels like motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel, except they only have bikes

- Wrestling . . . a bear?

Extreme sports lead to extreme fun in new tales from Gary's boyhood.
