CRUSTY DEMONS THIRST 4 DESTRUCTION TOUR DATES/INFO
Crusty Demons announce bold new plans for Thirst 4 Destruction Tour
Melbourne, Australia (6 June 2010) – Today marks the beginning of a new era in the sport of freestyle motocross with Australia’s premier live sport and entertainment company Dainty Consolidated Entertainment announcing its future vision and commitment to the world's leading live action sports brand – The Crusty Demons.
Pioneering a new era for the Crusty Demons, ‘Thirst 4 Destruction’ will tour the country throughout October and November and will feature a completely transformed show, with more thrills, spills and FMX skills than ever seen at a Crusty Demons show before.
Utilising the extensive music and theatrical resources of Dainty Consolidated Entertainment, the second generation of Crusty Demons promises to reign over live action sports entertainment and fans should only have one expectation - expect the unexpected.
As further testament to Dainty Consolidated Entertainment's commitment to not only the Crusty Demons brand but also the sport of freestyle motocross as a whole, a selection of the sports leading riders have signed up exclusively on multi-year deals.
The line up will include some of the biggest names in freestyle motocross from Australia, United States & across the globe whose lack of fear will be complemented by some of the world’s best stunt professionals attempting the unachievable with their motorised innovations.
The world-class rider line-up has been assembled over the past six months with its foundations built around Australia’s best freestyle motocross talent.
The Crusty Demons are proud to present the new King of freestyle, Jackson Strong, who hurled himself into the world record books for landing an awe-inspiring front flip at the recent Crusty Demons Regional tour at Cairns.
Selected as a firm favourite for the X-Games, the 18-year-old’s achievement has seen him issued with an invitation to compete at the renowned extreme sports event in California.
“I am stoked to part of the Crusty family,” said Strong. “One of the best parts for me is that I will now have input into the shows and direction of the Crusty Demons.
“For me, it is an awesome opportunity that will allow me to focus all my time on riding and perfecting my front flip without the worry of chasing jobs.
“It is exciting that Dainty Consolidated Entertainment have recognised us as elite athletes and offered long term deals like all other professional sports. I can’t wait to do front flips for everyone on the Thirst 4 Destruction Tour, that will be the only place for Australian fans to see me do the front flip,” Strong continued.
Flanking Lockhart’s wacko Jacko will be the notorious Kain Saul who played role reversal in 2009, becoming the first person to back flip a 257 kg, 100 horsepower Harley Davidson XR1200 Sportster. This has to be seen, to be believed!
“I feel honoured to be one of the first riders to sign up to a multi-year deal with the Crusty Demons,” said Saul. “As an athlete it is great to have my future mapped out and to also now have a say in the direction of the Crusty Demons.
“We are very fortunate to have the resources of Dainty Consolidated Entertainment behind us and we all share the common goal of making this best action sports show on earth,” Saul added.
Original madman Seth Enslow, who is a founding member of the Crusty Demons and world record holder for a long-distance jump at 175ft on a Harley Davidson, is also confirmed and you won’t believe what he has planned.
The brand new, never before seen show will unleash two months of thrilling action, kicking off in Perth on October 16, before carving a path of destruction across the country.
Excitement has washed over the fans and organisers alike in expectancy of more big announcements in the coming weeks including the remainder of the all-star team.

CRUSTY'S KAIN SAUL FLIPS THE HARLEY BEAST!
CRUSTY'S JACKSON STRONG LANDS FIRST FRONT FLIP!
CRUSTY FILM SHOOT AT SCHUIES PT.1
FLESHWOUND FILMS CREW AT IT AGAIN FILMING IN AUS......
This was one of Schuies warm-up Flips over 120-foot ramp to dirt, wait till you see the sequence!
The word was out that Matt "Schuie" Schubring had a film session going down over two days at his compound and the Ten-Pack with Jon Freeman and Dana Nicholson from Fleshwound Films. I jumped straight on my bike and made the two hour trek rolling up just in time for the boys first session. The riders – Schuie, Robbie Marshall, Kain Saul, Jake Bowan, Joel Balchin, Steve Sommerfeld, and Mick Hall warmed up over the 75-foot ramp to dirt and 75-foot dirt to dirt while a pocket of afternoon sun shone through. That didn't last long, so it was decided it was time to hit up Schuies natural terrain hits on the other side of his property, and this is when things heated up. Schuie is the master of big dirt hits and that's why he builds them so faarkin huge. First up they hit the 110-foot to dirt hit, which is a good warm up as the run in is smooth and it pops the riders up nicely over the side of the hill and landing on a nice downhill lander. The boys had fun on this one, ending with six rider trains popping tricks at the same time. The afternoon rolled on as the clouds covered the sky and the light faded. Schuie, Robbie and Joel nailed the 180-footer, and the big step-up that claimed Steve Mini earlier int he year was a hit, but my highlight would have to be when Schuie sacked up and Combo Flipped the 120-foot ramp to dirt hit that the only other rider to hit was Robbie Marshall, its a big girl! Bilko is the only other rider besides these two to hit take it on, with Schuie explaining, "It's scares most riders!" I'll let the pictures tell the story from here as I gotta fly. Schuies cooking up breakfast and then we're off to the Ten-Pack, bring it on! Stay tuned for more photos and footage, cheers Goba.

CRUSTY DEMON RIDERS AT THE SEXPO EXPO IN AUSTRALIA
SEXPO CRUSTY ARTICLE (LINK)
The Crusty Demons were the pioneers of freestyle motocross (FMX) and began in 1994 in the USA by filmmakers Jon Freeman and Dana Nicholson. Mind blowing tricks and world record jumps have made them the first name in FMX. Jon and Dana unleashed the groundbreaking video “Crusty Demons of Dirt” on the unsuspecting motocross world in 1994, featuring behind the scenes action of America’s pro motocross riders, their lifestyles and unparalleled daring talents. The DVD’s are one of the biggest selling action sports DVD’s of all time. Since 1994 the Crusty Demons home entertainment DVD series has become a phenomenon, creating FMX legends such as Seth Enslow, Mad Mike Jones and Brian Deegan. The Crusty Demons brand has further extended into live events, video games, magazines, clothing, motorcycles and many other consumer products categories such as BMX bikes and skateboards. The Crusty rider group, which comprises an ever-growing list of fearless riders have toured the world performing new and increasingly risky moves. The live shows were created in 1999 and were an instant hit with sell-out tours across Australia. Since then, the brand has taken shows into New Zealand, the USA, UK, Ireland and India. To date live tours have generated over $200m in ticket sales. The tours always feature the best line up of FMX riders available with new tricks, stunts, freestyling, quad freestyling, back flips, snowmobiles and mini motocross madness. Freaks, stunts, the Crusty Babes and some of the most extraordinary riding feats ever seen ensure that these shows are not to be missed. The Crusty brand continues its expansion into 2010 with more live shows across Australia, a new feature release movie in the works and live tours across the USA!

BLAKE "BILKO" WILLIAMS WINS GOLD AND SILVER AT X-GAMES 15
Aussie Blake Williams takes X Games Gold and Silver:
Finals
RANK NAME
1 Blake Williams
2 Jeremy Stenberg
3 Nate Adams
4 Mat Rebeaud
Australian freestyle motocross (FMX) sensation Blake ‘Bilko’ Williams has taken Gold and Silver in his biggest competition event of the year, X Games 15, which was held at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles this weekend.
The invite-only action sports event brings together the world’s best athletes to battle it out for Gold, Silver and Bronze in their respective discipline.
Williams collected silver in yesterday’s Moto X Best Trick, with a 360 Indian air and perfectly-executed cliffhanger flip to no-handed lander bringing the crowd and fellow riders to their feet.
With the judges proving hard to impress, Bilko dug deep into his repertoire of tricks today to take a deserved career-first gold in Moto X Freestyle by a single point after three runs.
The achievement also marks the first time an international rider has taken a Gold medal in the Freestyle category in the history of X Games.
The result is the ultimate reward for the 24-year-old from Baxter in country Victoria, who has now reached the action sport’s pinnacle.
“After being robbed of gold in the Best Trick event last night it really lit a fire under my belly to settle for nothing less than gold tonight,” said Williams, whose previous best X Games medal was a bronze.
“I am stoked, tonight was the one that counted and it was an amazing feeling to get the win in front of my Mum and Dad who flew over for the event.
“It has been a long couple of weeks and to be honest I actually didn’t have the preparation I would have liked.
“I want to dedicate the medal to the late Jeremy Lusk and Bronte Holland and also my mate Cam Sinclair who I should have been competing against tonight.”
The next event on Bilko’s schedule is the Wendy’s Invititional at Portland, the first of three FMX stops on the 2009 Dew Tour.
Ends.

CAM SINCLAIR CRASHES AT X-FIGHTERS, OUR PRAYERS
Cam Sinclair is in an induced coma in Spain after underrotating a double backflip. Cam was competing in the final of the Red Bull X Fighters event on Saturday when the accident occurred. A double backflip Sinclair had been attempting uncharteristcally underrotated and nosedived into the ramp. Footage of the accident shows Sinclair slam into the ramp and his bike crash on top of him. View video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB-Qr75RSiQ Cam didn't move after coming to rest on the ramp.Knocked unconscious by the force of the impact and rushed to hospital where surgeons operated on a broken shoulder and ruptured liver. Since the accident Cam has been fighting for his life in a critical condition in Madrid. He suffered a broken shoulder, broken cheek bone, a ruptured liver and was knocked unconscious. Due to the rupture in his liver he had emergency surgery for internal bleeding. Thankfully surgeons were able to stop the bleeding. At this stage Cam remains in a critical condition, however has improved over night. He has opened his eyes and is responding to instructions to raise his arms and squeeze his fiance Brooke’s hand. This is great news, as there was bruising on his brain; the fact that he is responding to their commands is a really really good sign. Cam had qualified second for the finals and was hoping for his first X fighters win. We wish Cam and his family all the very best and trust he's in good hands and will make a speedy recovery.

CRUSTY TOUR'S HUGE FINALE AT PERTH'S BURSWOOD DOME
A sold out crowd of 15,000 screaming fans witnessed the final stop of the Crusty Demons Beyond the Apocalypse Tour at the Burswood Dome in Perth on the weekend. The atmosphere was amazing and all of the riders responded with their best performances of the tour. Cam Sinclair made it a perfect nine from nine attempts at the double back flip and Ben Fiez also managed to pull of another double back flip on his min bike. America’s Beau Bamburg took out the final whip competition and Bilko claimed top honours in the back flip combination competition with a 360 heel clicker to no hander lander.
All of the Crustys rode with their shirts off in the final trick trains, pulling off all of the biggest tricks in FMX one after the other and causing yet another standing ovation. The American riders and a selection of Australian riders will now head to the USA for the competition season and everyone at Crusty wishes them the best of luck!
BEYOND THE APOCALYPSE TOUR ROCKS ON IN SYDNEY!
The Crusty Demons performed two huge shows at the Acer Arena on the weekend, which was a fitting send off for Australia’s Matt Schubring, who has decided to retire from touring to pursue other interests in the industry.
Once again the crowds at both shows were loud and crazy in showing their appreciation for the Crustys and their amazing performances.
Much to the delight of the crowd, both nights had their thrills and spills. The biggest came on Saturday night when Ben Fiez jumped off mid flight in his double back flip mini bike attempt, which sent him flying into the air and rolling onto the main lander. Thankfully he escaped without any serious injury.
Sincs had another two successful double back flip attempts and Adam Jones pulled out all stops for his last two shows on the tour.
He has now flown back to the US to be there for the birth of his son.
Everyone at Crusty wishes Schuie all the best in his future endeavors.
The Crustys will now make their way to Adelaide Entertainment Centre this Friday June 5th and Saturday June 6th. Great TIX still available through www.ticketek.com.au
BEYOND THE APOCALYPSE TOUR HITS MELBOURNE
The Crusty Demons Beyond the Apocalypse Tour made its worldwide debut in Melbourne on the weekend with two huge shows. Almost 25,000 fans over two nights packed the Rod Laver Arena as they screamed and cheered their way through the mind blowing shows.
The two local riders, Cam Sinclair and Bilko, stole both shows with Cam Sinclair performing two perfect double back flips and Bilko proving he back to his best by pulling off a number of jackhammer back flips and his signature 360’s. Bilko was so fired up he even pulled off a 360 heel clicker on the Saturday night.
Ben Fiez pulled off his first ever double back flip on a mini bike and the final back flip combination train with all riders created a standing ovation on both nights.
The tour will now make its way to Brisbane with a show on Friday May 22 and Saturday May 23 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

CRUSTY DEMONS RIDER 17 YR OLD RIDER LEVI SHERWOOD WINS REDBULL X-FIGHTERS
I cannot believe what I just witnessed. 17-year-old New Zealander Levi Sherwood just won the first round of the Red Bull X-Fighters. In his first major contest, Levi went head to head with reigning X-Fighters champion Mat Rebeaud and emerged victorious. Levi impressed every single spectator in the stadium with his insane extension and one-of-a-kind style. Tonight, Levi made FMX history and there has never been a better time to be a fan of the sport. If I'm not mistaken, Levi is the youngest rider to win a Red Bull X-Fighters event.
Finishing an impressive second place was Eigo Sato of Japan. This wasn't Eigo's first time riding Red Bull X-Fighters in Mexico City, but it was his first time placing in the top three. Eigo busted out all of his tricks with his signature style, but in the end, it wasn't enough to beat Sherwood.
Mat Rebeaud rounded out the top three, with a good run, but not one of his best. We all know what Mat Rebeaud is capable of and tonight, there seemed to be a bit something missing from his tricks. Regardless, Mat killed the course, getting in more hits than most and ending up with a solid third.
I just want to congratulate both Levi and Eigo for putting in such impressive runs and throwing a wrench in the spokes of the Red Bull X-Fighters results. What an awesome event. More to come. I'm going to bed. Adios! For more information, photos and videos check out redbullxfighters.com

CRUSTY'S YOUNG LEVI SHERWOOD RIPPING IT UP ON THE CRUSTY UNLEASH HELL TOUR IN NZ..
Right now Levi is touring his native country as a member of the Crusty Demon Unleashed Hell Tour, and he's no new-kid-on-the-block either, as he joined Crusty in 2004 at the ripe age of 14, which is pretty impressive considering most kids that age are the ones cheering on the Crusty Demons from the stands, not jumping 75-foot gaps in front of thousands.
Levi feels right at home riding alongside the Crusty crew, with him saying, "Its a bit like family, you travel and hang out together, and get to know each other pretty well. I've been lucky to ride with some the worlds best and it always makes you want to go out and learn as much as you can. I love riding the Crusty shows as the fans are a lot more enthusiastic than at a lot of the other shows so it pumps you right up. Also riding with the worlds best pushes you as well. For someone who has never been to a Crusty show it's hard to explain how loud the crowd is; it's out of control!"
Crusty Demons pay tribute to FMX legend Jeremy Lusk
Christchurch show dedicated to amazing rider who tragically lost his life this week
The Crusty Demons performed in an emotion charged show in Christchurch(New Zealand) last night
following the shocking news that fellow rider and friend Jeremy Lusk had passed away.
Lusk, who was one of the world’s greatest riders, succumbed to the injuries he sustained from a horrific crash,
whilst performing a back flip Indy seat grab at a competition in Costa Rica on the weekend. He had been fighting
for his life in hospital but the severity of his head injuries eventually overtook him.
The terrible news was received on Tuesday evening and sent a shock wave through the Crusty Demons touring party. Lusk was
known by all members of the group and was a very close friend to a few, particularly American riding buddy Adam Jones.
The crowd of 6,000 inside Christchurch’s Westpac Indoor Stadium rose as one at the start of the show to partake in a minute’s
silence. The stadium was dark except for an image of Lusk on the big screen, which all of the riders looked up to with obvious pain and
emotion on their face. Once the show kicked off all riders performed amazingly and bravely.
The thoughts and prayers of everyone involved in the Crusty Demons are with Lusk’s family and friends at this difficult time.
PRAYER FOR FMX RIDER JEREMY LUSK
RIP Jeremy Lusk
It is with great sadness that we report Jeremy Lusk succumbed to his injures tonight at 11:03pm PST. He was surrounded by his loving Mother and father, Chuck & Gina Lusk, his wonderful wife Lauren, his mother and father in law Lyne & Larry along with his closest Mulisha friends Brian Deegan, Ryan Hagy, Cameron Steele & Erik Apple. He is now with our Heavenly Father and is at peace. We know he is performing sick tricks for all those in Heaven to crowds greater than we have ever seen. We will miss you Pitbull!
Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

New Zealand's own Luke Smith is sure to provide some insane riding for his home crowd along with Levi Sherwood who is one of the biggest upcoming talents in FMX across the globe.
Also performing are Australia's number one Blake 'Bilko' Williams, with fellow Aussies Steve Mini, Matt Schubring, Joel Balchin, Kain Saul and Cam Sinclair.
Global Action Sports Managing Director, Mike Porra, said that New Zealand Crusty fans will be blown away by this tour which features the biggest FMX stunts ever performed.
'We are so stoked to be bringing this tour to New Zealand. This is the full international show that is a much larger production than 2007 with more ramps, riders, bikes, pyrotechnics and entertainment. It is guaranteed to leave people gasping for breath and is all about getting the adrenaline pumping.'
Fans can expect to see more than 50 different tricks performed at the shows including the most death-defying trick in extreme sport, the double back flip, performed on a 200kg, 250cc dirt bike. Australia's Cam Sinclair will be performing the trick, which has only ever been completed a handful of times in history, only twice outside the USA, and never before in New Zealand. Audiences will also see various back flip combinations, where riders perform various FMX tricks whilst upside down in the middle of a back flip.
The tour will make its way around New Zealand in 2009
