Larry Linkogle was a child-prodigy motocross racer who turned pro at age 15. A daredevil and rebel from the start, he quit the sport in spectacular fashion during a major national event and went home to create a new extreme sport,Freestyle Motocross (FMX),marked by high-flying stunts and death-defying action. From there, the ride just got wilder. On a lark, he and a friend created The Metal Mulisha,now a top brand in FMX,and he was on a fast track to the good life. But after a near-fatal accident, Link"made a series of decisions that almost finished him off for good,getting involved in prescription drugs, drug and gun running, underground fistfighting, and other behaviour that compromised his health, his relationships, and his career. After hitting rock bottom and experiencing a moment of clarity, Link began to turn things around, salvaging and strengthening the things that mattered most. Now an icon to millions of extreme sports fans, Link is well on the road to a happy ending.

Guy Martin - Portrait of a Bike Legend (Paperback): Phil Wain Guy Martin - Portrait of a Bike Legend (Paperback)

'Speed and danger don't always go together, but it's proper fun when they do.' Guy Martin Truck fitter, ace racer, daredevil, speed junkie, all-round 'character', Guy Martin is just a normal guy, driven to succeed by a passion for speed, whether it is on his daily 20-mile cycle to work - his exploits on the track and for television are extra-curricular and he always makes up for his time away - or on his collection of prized motorcycles. Renowned for a loveable if scattergun personality, Guy is a down-to-earth hero, a modern-day celebrity motivated not by wealth and fame, but by his love of his bikes and trucks. He considers his biggest successes in life are not his race wins or his celebrity status - but his truck MOT pass rates! Guy Martin: Portrait of a Bike Legend charts his eventful life in pictures and recounts Guy's career in front and away from the spotlight. It is the first illustrated biography of a man who doesn't do things by half - if it's not a challenge to life, limb and sanity, then he isn't interested.

This is the definitive portrait of a small-town man who became an American icon. Evel Knievel may have jumped the Snake River Canyon and posed on every kid's lunchbox in the 70s, but few know the story of this kid from a small, lawless mining town who invented a persona that would captivate, and embody, the 1970s and beyond.

'Sox' - Gary Hocking the Forgotten World Motorcycle Champion (Paperback): Roger Hughes 'Sox' - Gary Hocking the Forgotten World Motorcycle Champion (Paperback)
Roger Hughes

Gary `Sox' Hocking raced against the likes of Geoff Duke, Mike Hailwood and John Surtees, and eventually became double world champion - yet his name remains largely forgotten. He retired at an early stage in his career, and the explanation so often given for this ultimately proved far removed from the real reason. Roger Hughes' fascinating book is a positive celebration of Hocking's life and career. Stories reveal how he went from riding a motorbike to work to becoming world champion - a riveting journey, made more so by being told by those who were close to him. Gary's decision to move to car racing because it was safer, only to then be killed in a car, makes for a tragic end to his tale. This book explores the many suggestions as to how the accident happened. With photos covering Hocking's early career racing Nortons in South Africa, through to his final motorcycle ride, at the 1962 Isle of Man TT - a win that was, in many ways, so important to him - this book is a fitting tribute to a forgotten champion. This popular book is now available in paperback.
