Overview

Motocross is all about getting down and dirty and having fun doing it. In this photo-packed spin through the sport, readers can catch the thrill and at the same time learn all there is to know about motocross, from the basics to the finer points of the bikes, the riders, and the techniques of crashing without burning. Joe Bonnello captures the different sides of the sport - Motocross, Super cross, Enduro, Hare Scrambles, Trials, ISDE, Supermoto, and Endurocross - with breath stopping shots of the bikes in action. He sketches the history of motocross in words and pictures, profiles its heroes, surveys the magazines that provide in-depth coverage, and, finally, reviews the ten best ways of crashing.

Racer X Illustrated, October 2006 For anyone who's trying to learn more about the sport, this full-color, glossy book may be the best place to start ... its compact size really sets it apart from most other coffee-table-style motocross books that have come out in recent years. Niche books like this are often riddled with errors and typos, but Motocross is professionally done from beginning to end. Kudos to editor Lee Klancher and designer LeAnn Kuhlman for keeping it so clean and easy to read. The photography ... makes this a worthwhile addition to every moto library. It's also a perfect gift to give somebody who's getting into the sport, or somebody you're trying to get into the sport.
