Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Motocross is a form of motorcycle sport or all-terrain vehicle racing held on enclosed off road circuits. Motocross is derived from the French, and traces its origins to British scrambling competitions. The name "motocross" is a portmanteau derived from the words "Motorcycle" and "Cross Country". BMX, or bicycle motocross, is the equivalent sport for non-motorized dirt bikes. Motocross was first known as a British off-road event called scrambling, which was an evolution of motorcycle trial events popular in the northern UK. The first known scramble took place at Camberley, Surrey in 1924. During the 1930s, the sport grew in popularity, especially in Britain where teams from the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA), Norton, Matchless, Rudge, and AJS competed in the events. Off-road bikes from that era differed little from those used on the street. The intense competition over rugged terrain led to technical improvements in motorcycles. Rigid frames gave way to suspensions by the early 1930s, and swinging fork rear suspension appeared by the early 1950s, several years before it was incorporated on the majority of production street bikes. The period after the Second World War was dominated by BSA which had become the largest motorcycle company in the world. BSA riders dominated international competitions throughout the 1940s.

3...2....1....Splat!
If I could give this negative stars I would. The content has been lifted for the most part from BASE 101 by some of the founders of BASE. But there is no useful information in here. There is some very basic history but it is all found on the internet now.
Do not waste your time or money here.

If you want history look for a used copy of Groundrush or get BASE 66 also sold on amazon. ... Read more

Amazing book !
I was delighted to read this book. How can you be so fearless? Is there a recipe? I would suggest you have your book available in English now...

an exciting book!
First I have to tell you my background. I'm a skydiver with no background in base jumping. I know very little about the sport and even less about the start of base jumping, since there are no historybooks on this subject.
Jevto Dedijer's describes these first years of basejumping in his book, Base 66, in very exciting way. At that time they used equipment that by todays standards, no one would be caught jumping. Not from an airplane and absolutely not from a 100 meters high object. Jevto and his friends are pioneers in a sport that is as beautiful as it is deadly. BASE 66 takes off by describing how Jevto's skydiving career begins at the young age of 18. What makes him leap of his first BASE object and later makes him change his mind about BASE jumping.
I recommend this book to anyone who would like to know more about the first years in basejumping. It's an exciting book and well worth reading.

Have Chute - will travel!
This white-knuckle ride read is a must read for anyone wanting to learn how to live life to the full - and live to tell the tale.

Jevto Dedijer writes about his own daring exploits in a way which made me gasp, feeling as if I myself stood on the brink of a cliff or a tower with nothing but a tiny chute to hang my life on. He puts you right into those chutestraps, creating huge sinking feeling in your belly and a small thought of envy - I wish I had had the guts to what he did.

Great Pictures I just wish the text was in english
The pictures are great and from what I could translate so is the text. So if the publisher is reading this, how about an English translation. There is too little written on BASE.

Since I first did this review an English copy has been published

If you BASE or ever thought about it get this book

Also look for "Ground Rush" in used book stores between the two there is good information on BASE

Rating has been raised to 4 stars but this is for the English edition ... Read more
