Adrenaline, avalanches, and addiction-I Could Die at Any Moment is the poignantly personal story about one thrill seeker's quest to live life to the fullest.

Why is risking death worth it for adventurers? This is a question Greg Hill--Canadian pro skier, guide, and The 2-Million Foot Man--gets asked often. In this frank, open, and unflinching memoir, he does his best to provide an answer and bring some understanding and solace to his friends and family should he pay the ultimate price for his undeniable need for adrenaline.

Starting with his formative years with young, hard-working parents in the Eastern Townships of Quéeacute;bec, Canada, Hill describes his challenges with finding his place in a blended family, his desire to be seen and acknowledged, learning to live with the serious consequences of poor decisions, and looking for the love of a lifetime while building a career from doing the crazy things he loved most of all.

As he matured and set his sites on higher peaks and greater challenges, he also developed an awareness for the care of the planet that he traversed so extensively. Nature is a force to work with, not against, and despite the adrenaline drive, Greg knows to keep his humility in check--if not, it will get checked for him.

How does an adrenaline-seeker build a career doing what he loves and still have time to be an integral part of a loving family and lead a full and balanced life as a ski adventuring environmentalist? To answer this question for himself and those he loves, Greg opens up about hardcore life-altering decisions, survival as a reality he faces daily, and the gratitude he has for still being alive after experiencing everything from avalanches to world records. As he puts it, he could die at any moment...

A deeply reported insider perspective of Alex Honnold's historic achievement and the culture and history of climbing.

One of the most compelling accounts of a climb and the climbing ethos that I've ever read.--Sebastian Junger

In Mark Synnott's unique window on the ethos of climbing, his friend Alex Honnold's astonishing free solo ascent of El Capitan's 3,000 feet of sheer granite is the central act. When Honnold topped out at 9:28 A.M. on June 3, 2017, having spent fewer than four hours on his historic ascent, the world gave a collective gasp. The New York Times described it as one of the great athletic feats of any kind, ever. Synnott's personal history of his own obsession with climbing since he was a teenager--through professional climbing triumphs and defeats, and the dilemmas they render--makes this a deeply reported, enchanting revelation about living life to the fullest. What are we doing if not an impossible climb?

Synnott delves into a raggedy culture that emerged decades earlier during Yosemite's Golden Age, when pioneering climbers like Royal Robbins and Warren Harding invented the sport that Honnold would turn on its ear. Painting an authentic, wry portrait of climbing history and profiling Yosemite heroes and the harlequin tribes of climbers known as the Stonemasters and the Stone Monkeys, Synnott weaves in his own experiences with poignant insight and wit: tensions burst on the mile-high northwest face of Pakistan's Great Trango Tower; fellow climber Jimmy Chin miraculously persuades an official in the Borneo jungle to allow Honnold's first foreign expedition, led by Synnott, to continue; armed bandits accost the same trio at the foot of a tower in the Chad desert . . .

The Impossible Climb is an emotional drama driven by people exploring the limits of human potential and seeking a perfect, choreographed dance with nature. Honnold dared far beyond the ordinary, beyond any climber in history. But this story of sublime heights is really about all of us. Who doesn't need to face down fear and make the most of the time we have?

About the BookMotocross is the most relentless of sports. Physically, emotionally and financially. Motocross: Heart of a Racer details first-hand the heart-stopping excitement of being on the track in pursuit of the checkered flag surrounded by twenty riders with the same goal in mind and the behind the scenes drama of every professional racer's dream - sponsors. Through the eyes of a tested pro you will be propelled into the life of a true motocross champ and experience the triumphs and heartbreaks that encompass the way of life of the sport. Victories, injuries and everything in between illustrate the untold price that is paid by anyone serious about becoming a sponsored motocross professional in an honest and sometimes brutal narrative that will entertain both riders and fans alike.

Through the exploration of incredible physical feats--some well-known and some only passed around watering holes and campfires--endurance athlete and journalist Shannon Hogan takes us into the world of those who have pushed themselves through the unforgiving hours to achieve greatness and redefine modern outdoor adventuring.

From the frozen wilds of Alaska's treacherous trails to the unyielding currents of Puget Sound and Canada's Inside Passage, from the rugged majesty of Colorado's peaks to the vibrant depths of Costa Rica's rainforests, Hogan offers us an intimate window into the toughest contests in sports. Whether it's a blistering race across the furnace trails of gold country in the Sierra Nevadas, a grueling swim in frigid water to break the Ice Mile Distance record, or a competition on the biggest triathlon stage with a determination beyond perceived limitations, each journey reveals the resilience and humor it takes to face the unknown with only the guarantee of discomfort ahead. These stories of ordinary women and men who kept going even when things went wrong, especially when the weather and tides did not cooperate, attest to the drive, grit, and patience that exists in all of us. Through exhaustion, setbacks, and moments of darkness and doubt, these athletes prove that greatness isn't about perfection--it's about perseverance. Their triumphs, large and small, are a testament to the power of adaptability, passion, and the sheer will to keep going, one breath, one step, one stroke, and one mile at a time.

In the pages of The Unforgiving Hours, you will read the stories of:

• Gunhild Swanson running the Western States 100 Endurance Run five days shy of her seventy-first birthday
• Kelly Danielson and team Sail Like a Girl, the first all-female sailing team to win the Race to Alaska
• Gordon Wadsworth racing the hardest mountain bike race in the world while opting for only one bike gear
• Lynne Cox breaking the record for swimming across the English Channel at age 15
• Yuichiro Hidaka dreaming of eating potato chips while running the Boston Double for the fourth time
• Seana Hogan, the current cycling transcontinental female record holder (set at age 35) fighting the race clock and Father Time to finish Race Across America at age 60
• John Stamstad voyaging to Alaska for an all-night February bike race in the bush of the Last Frontier
• Melissa Kegler training for two years to break the American Ice Mile Distance record in 39.2 F water
• Chris Jones embarking on The Last Great Race--six 100-mile ultramarathons to be completed over the course of one summer
• And Tina Ament, along with Anne Thilges, crossing the finish line at 16 hours, 18 minutes, and 5 seconds to establish one of the most inspiring records in endurance sports.

Blending top-notch sports writing, armchair adventure and travel, and an insightful thesis on the human spirit, The Unforgiving Hours is an indelible chronicle of odysseys that showcase the determination, creativity, joy, strength, and inspiration at the heart of endurance sports.

CONTENDERS? NO. COMPELLING? YES. The Cleveland Browns in the 1970s were, for the most part, an average team. Their 72-70-2 overall record during that period proves that. They qualified for the postseason just twice and had no playoff wins. The low point came in 1974 and 1975 when they posted 4-10 and 3-11 records, respectively. The 1970s Browns, however, still managed to draw the attention of their fans. They still attracted large crowds to their home games. Their rivalries with AFC Central Division cohorts Pittsburgh and Cincinnati were as strong as ever. The '70s Browns had some intriguing players such as Brian Sipe, Doug Dieken, and Joe Turkey Jones. They also had memorable head coaches like Sam Rutigliano and Forrest Gregg. Despite being a so-so team in this timespan, the Browns nonetheless provided many moments that will live forever such as Billy Andrews's interception return for a touchdown off a Joe Namath pass that clinched the win in the first Monday Night Football game, Mike Phipps's touchdown pass to Fair Hooker that had Browns fans thinking upset in a Christmas Eve playoff against the undefeated Dolphins, and Thom Darden's pick-six off a Roger Staubach pass that helped lead to a shocking rout of the Cowboys on Monday Night Football that impressed even Howard Cosell. The Forgotten Decade is a collection of tales from the 1970s that will bring back memories -good and bad-for longtime Browns fans and will give younger fans a glimpse into what the 1970s Browns were all about.

Not only does Cory's entertaining and powerful writing allow readers a unique perspective into the challenges and rewards of running, but it also inspires each of us to turn tragedy into triumph.

Cory Reese writes with humor, humbleness and honesty. His story is both uplifting and real, and his tales of persistence and perseverance are sure to inspire, whether you're at the front of the pack or nowhere near first. Regardless of the title, this book's a winner Dean Karnazes, author of Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner

Cory Reese's book, Nowhere Near First, is an immensely entertaining and profoundly educational story about overcoming challenges to forge a meaningful life. Reese's story is must-read for people looking to find meaning and purpose in modern-day society. Karl Hoagland, Publisher, UltraRunning Magazine

Cory has penned a very personal account of overcoming hardship in his personal and athletic life. Nowhere Near First tells his story of perseverance and survival in a vivid, down and dirty way that peaks with his extraordinarily positive way of looking at life.

The inspiring true story of a 100,000-mile motorcycle world record attempt where everything that could possibly go wrong, went spectacularly wrong.

In the spring of 2022, renowned long distance motorcycle riders Wendy Crockett and Ian McPhee set out to execute their meticulously planned World Record ride attempt. The premise was simple enough: Visit every Australian state in alphabetical order, documenting each visit by photographing the state's capitol building. The approach would then be replicated in the United States, visiting a grand total of 58 capitols on an epic road trip adventure spanning two continents and three countries.

Reality hit hard with the revelation that absolutely nothing about this undertaking was destined to go smoothly. Yet even in the face of unfathomable adversity, including breakdowns, illness, animals strikes, historic weather events, and multiple hospitalizations, this tenacious duo refused to abandon their quest. Fueled by boundless optimism and unrelenting determination, Pushing Miles is a brutally honest and surprisingly humorous look at what it takes to make an uphill ride into endurance motorcycling history.

In May 2000, a small team of Aspen, Colorado-based sportsmen set out to climb and ski one of the world's highest peaks. Shishapangma, Skiing the Highline: The Account of the First American Ski Descent from an 8000-Meter Peak is the gripping true story of determination and grit in which author Mike Marolt recounts pushing the edge of extreme sports with his twin, Steve, and lifelong buddy Jim Gile. Together, they reached the pinnacle of their progression from childhood climbing and skiing to conquering the highest peaks in the world. In Shishapangma, Skiing the Highline, the mountaineering trio overcome overwhelming odds and threats to their own well-being as they successfully climb and ski Shishipangma, the fourteenth-highest mountain in the world, in what would lay the foundation for a trio that became arguably the most accomplished high altitude skiers in history.
