Consistent difficulty rating & useful additional information prevent the user from critical situations on the trails. The best singletrails in the best mountain bike spots throughout Europe

The maps in a scale of 1:50 000 show all information required for tour planning & orienting oneself on the trails, such as: difficulty, highlight-trails, mountain railways with mountain bike transport, mountain bike shuttles, dangerous falls, restaurants, bike shops, emergency numbers & touristic infopoints. Thanks to the especially chosen map section, one map covers the whole area. The Supertrail Maps are printed on tear- & waterproof foil which makes them very sturdy. On the back of any map, additional information about the area & the use of a Supertrail Map are presented in two languages. Folded

Thomas Chapple's Base Building for Cyclists shows how a stronger base makes a stronger, faster, cyclist. A cyclist needs to have a strong foundation & a high fitness ceiling before the season even starts. Fundamentals like strength training & skill development take a backseat once race preparation begins in earnest. This is just one of the reasons why Thomas Chapple argues that the success of the upcoming season depends on the extent to which you can build your foundation of aerobic fitness, or your base, for the road ahead. Whatever your goals as a cyclist, early season training should focus on broadening the aerobic base & building cycling-specific strength & skills. In effect, this builds a bigger, more efficient engine to help you reach higher intensities later in the season. Chapple's guide for cyclists extends beyond the vital pre-season months, establishing the strong foundation that leads to enhanced overall fitness & speed. ...

Base Jumping: The Ultimate Guide

Base jumping is an extreme sport that has gained significant popularity. To date, there are over 1, 400 jumpers who have earned their ”base number, ” which means that they have jumped from a building, an antenna, a span, and a terrestrial point. Base Jumping: The Ultimate Guide examines the history, subculture, and technologies associated with base jumping. Additionally, it considers what the relatively new expansion of this activity means within the context of how our society considers danger and risk. After an introduction, its chapters cover base culture and ethics, the sport`s origins and current developments, techniques and equipment, sites and events, pioneering jumpers and icons of the sport, and future directions. The author-a former skydiver and base jumper
himself-draws from careful research as well as interviews with current base jumpers to both provide historical context and represent the voices of those participating in the activity.
