Extreme sports legend Larry "Link" Linkogle - a cocreator of freestyle motocross (FMX) and president of the popular company/brand the Metal Mulisha - writes a riveting memoir of madness, mayhem, and ultimately redemption. Link's story will appeal to millions of fans of extreme sports, plus anyone who enjoys a dark, dramatic memoir with a happy ending. And it releases at a time when ESPN's X-Games are peaking in popularity, and going international in 2013. From the author: "In some ways, I suppose, mine is a typical American success story, with a rise and fall and rebirth. The thing is, I never really planned on any of it, never chased success in the traditional way. It just sort of came to me. Mind of the Demon is my memoir, and it simultaneously tells the story of my own journey to hell and back-a trip fueled by copious amounts of drugs, and highlighted (or lowlighted) by underground fighting and more broken bones and shattered relationships than you can possibly imagine-as well as the ascension of freestyle motocross, which in barely more than a decade has risen from cult status to massive mainstream popularity."In the same way that Dogtown and Z-Boys told the story of the nascent days of skateboarding, Mind of the Demon will chronicle the evolution of freestyle motocross, a sport I helped create, and which even now, all these years later, remains my singular passion. It's a story filled with heartbreak and humor, madness and mayhem. Like freestyle, it promises one hell of a ride. And believe it or not, it has a happy ending."
