And now here I am, in the backseat of a car, with a loaded .44 Magnum in my pocket, heading to a gang fight that will surely end in a very bad and bloody way. I don't want to be in this situation. I don't want any part of it. But how do I escape?" Mind Of The Demon trailer (2010 Slamdance Award-winning documentary film) Linkogle made a lasting mark on history by sparking a revolution in extreme sports, with the creation of freestyle motocross (FMX) -- a death-defying, high stakes form of motocross, the birth of which is detailed in Mind Of The Demon: A Memoir of Motocross, Madness And The Metal Mulisha, and brought to life with thrilling full color photos.

In December 2001, while serving as the double for Vin Diesel in the movie, Triple X, Linkogle's head actually collided with a helicopter blade while doing a stunt for the film. The impact resulted in the frontal lobe of his brain to be torn away from his skull, a snapped ACL and separated shoulder. Astonishingly, Linkogle not only survived, but eventually (in 2005) set a new world record for longest jump on a 250cc motorcycle (255.4 feet) -- literally taking himself and his sport to new heights.

It's nothing short of a miracle, and a tribute to his iron will, that he managed to rise from the plunged depths stronger and better than ever.

I didn't even know how to spell motocross correctly until this book came across my desk, but I was compelled to read it having heard the Linkogle urban-legend tales -- and I loved it cover to cover.
