This paper provides the basis for new methods of inference for max-stable processes $\$xi$\$ on general spaces that admit a certain incremental representation, which, in important cases, has a much simpler structure than the max-stable process itself. A corresponding peaks-over-threshold approach will incorporate all single events that are extreme in some sense and will therefore rely on a substantially larger amount of data in comparison to estimation procedures based on block maxima. Conditioning a process $\$eta$\$ in the max-domain of attraction of $\$xi$\$ on being extremal, several convergence results for the increments of $\$eta$\$ are proved. In a similar way, the shape functions of mixed moving maxima (M3) processes can be extracted from suitably conditioned single events $\$eta. Connecting the two approaches, transformation formulae for processes that admit both an incremental and an M3 representation are identified.
