His book, Icebreaker, which is still in print, was first published in 1997. An updated paperback version came out early in 1998, and it has also been issued in a Spanish edition, Icebreaker: La Autobiografia de Rudy Galindo. The book was written with Eric Marcus.

Most people are unaware that Rudy was a World Champion Junior Men’s skater—even before Kristi enjoyed so much success.
