Sinopsis

Over the Edge: A Regular Guy's Odyssey in Extreme Sports is the compelling record of Bane's adventures pushing himself to the limit - by participating in some of the world's most dangerous athletic pursuits. Traveling across the country and around the globe, Bane literally risked life and limb to attack thirteen death-defying sports on his "List."
From a marathon in the hellish temperatures of Death Valley to whitewater rafting in Honduras, kayaking off a waterfall in New Zealand, diving in Florida's pristine underwater caves, bicycling through the mountains of Colorado at speeds 45 miles per hour, and swimming in shark-infested waters in the first leg of the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon, Bane's journey captures all of the exhilaration, excitement, and fear that have accompanied one man on his journey to the edge and back.

Reseña del editor

The compelling story of a man pushing his body and mind to the limitOne day a few years ago, Michael Bane put down his remote control and picked up a whole new way of living that involved dying almost every day. He entered the world of extreme sports -- kayaking off waterfalls, diving in underwater caves, marathoning in Death Valley -- and has never looked back. Over the Edge is the gripping tale of his adventures tackling 13 risky sports, detailing the physical and mental preparation, the participation in these punishing yet exhilarating endeavors, and the arrival at the realization that this climb, flight, or dive might be his last. But he's survived so far to tell his tale and it's an engrossing read. It's not a guide book, a sourcebook, or a how-to. It's an everyman's journey to the edge and back.
