FLESHGEAR TEAM RIDER LUKE SMITH WINS AT NEW ZEALANDS FMX "CADRONA GAMES"
First jump I went out and through a huge super Indy flip barely getting back to the pegs, but pulled it (see attached pic) then for my final jump I was saving something big and went for my first ever underflip, I had been doing them into the pit before I came down so thought there was no better for place to step up, I came around perfect just over rotated a little at last second washing my front end out on landing, it would have been good to ride away but I am just happy I made it to the wheels, I know I can do it now so will get it perfected this week.
So I took it out for another year in a row had a blast and can’t wait for next year, I would like to thanks my sponsors for all their help.

CRUSTY RIDER "BILKO" FINISHES FIRST PLACE IN THE PANASONIC DEW ACTION SPORTS TOUR
Vote for Bilko ‘s 360 Nac as the best trick at the first round of the dew tour.

Who saw this coming? After dominating FMX competition on the AST Dew Tour last year with first place finishes at four of the five Tour stops, 2007 Dew Cup champion Nate Adams was pushed down the Panasonic Open podium by Blake "Bilko" Williams, a 23 year-old rider from Australia who just turned the world of FMX upside down in FMX Finals.
“Coming out here and beating Nate Adams Nate Adams at the first stop on the tour means a lot after the rough year I had last year,” says Williams.
The podium positions were reversed one year ago at the 2007 Panasonic Open, with Adams in first and Williams in 2nd, but an injury at that event left Williams sidelined him for the rest of the year.
“This is a very nice way of saying, ‘Hey, I’m back,’” says Williams. “Nate and I are teammates and good friends, and it’s an honor just to share a podium with him, much less come out on top. I’m looking forward to a good year of battling each other.”
FMX fans in Baltimore saw the first bout of the battle in grand style this weekend, with Williams throwing out Superman backflips, a backflip cordova, a flat spin 360 heel clickers and stylish, fully-corked rip flips in his runs. Adams answered with huge signature moves like the La-Z-Boy backflip, proving he’ll be a force all season long on the 2008 AST Dew Tour.
Williams qualified in 3rd place at the Panasonic Open Prelims on Thursday behind Mathieu Rebeaud and Robbie Maddison, but set the tone early in FMX Finals. His Run 1 score of 90.33 stood up through two rounds of intense competition from the world’s top FMX competitors and even his lesser Run 2 score of 89.83 would have been enough for 1st place. Adams scored 89.33 in his best run.
It truly is a whole new world in FMX competition: Williams is from Australia; Adams, in 2nd place, is from Glendale, Arizona; 3rd place finisher Mathieu Rebeaud is from Switzerland; 4th place rider Thomas Pagès is from France; and Panasonic Open fans saw FMX competitors this week from as far as Japan. As if FMX wasn’t already insane enough, the international invasion is giving it a serious shakeup in 2008.

NIGHT OF WORLD RECORDS WRAP - MADDO SMASHES 350ft
Australia’s own Evel Knievel, Robbie Maddison, has once again written himself into the Guinness Book of World Records after successfully jumping a death defying distance of 351feet on his Honda CR500 at the Crusty Demons Night of World Records presented by Rockstar Energy Drink at Calder Park in Melbourne, adding an astonishing 29 feet to his own record set in Las Vegas last New Years Eve.
Defying gravity - and logic - Maddison reclaimed his world title after rival Ryan Capes (USA) jumped 324 feet to better Maddison’s previous record of 322 feet and hold the record momentarily before the Australian rose to the occasion and set the new world record on his third attempt.
Maddison hit the ramp for his final attempt at over 100mph (165km) and rose more than 70 feet in the air before making a safe landing back to earth for a record shattering jump.
“I can’t explain how amazing it is to smash my own world record in front of a home crowd,” said an elated Maddison.
“I have been doing huge jumps and breaking personal records in training this week so I knew that I had it tonight, but nothing could of prepared me for how great this feels.
“All my family and friends are here and the crowd was awesome.”
The Australian was congratulated by American Challengers after deafening acclaim from the crowd, and said the opportunity to square off against competitors of equal calibre had been incredible.
“It was always going to be exciting with the jump off situation, Seth is a mate and a legend of the sport and Ryan is renowned as a long distance jumping specialist. The Aussie crowd got me over the line,” he added.
Capes fell short of the 351 mark, hitting the down ramp to complete a 324 foot effort.
While visibly disappointed, he said it was the greatest challenge he had ever faced and to hold the record even just for a moment was satisfying.
“I am looking forward to a rematch in the USA in the next twelve months it was Robbie’s night tonight,” said Capes.
Enslow set a personal best of 301feet and ten inches achieving his long held goal of breaking the 300 foot barrier.
“I am stoked, I may not have claimed the World Record but I am really happy with my result, that is the best I have jumped,” said Enslow.
History was created when the first ever three man jump off for the world record took centre stage despite the terrible weather conditions endured all week. The show went ahead and after some minor changes to the schedule to compensate for the conditions nine records were attempted with six written into the history books.
The official Guinness record topped off an extraordinary week for Maddison who broke the world record on four separate occasions in training during the week, reaching an incredible 376 feet by the day before the show.

Greatest Event in Extreme Sports History
One Night: 18 World Records: 30,000 People
Three of the worlds best Freestyle Motor X riders Ryan Capes (Washington, Seattle, USA), Seth Enslow (California, USA) and Robbie Maddison (Wollongong, NSW, AUS) will attempt to set a new world record for the longest distance ever jumped on a motor cycle at the Crusty Demons Night of World Records presented by Rockstar Energy Drink in Australia on Saturday Night, March 29th
All three will be confronting their demons at Calder Park, Melbourne, when they try to further the current record held by Maddison of an incredible 322 feet which he achieved last New Years Eve in Las Vegas, USA.
The trio will be attempting the "impossible" - breaking the world record for the longest distance two-wheeled motorcycle jump.
Each rider is alloted twenty minutes in which to break the world record. Enslow will will commence the action, with Maddison jumping second and Capes holding the advantage of being the third and final rider who will know exactly what is required of him on the night. The jumping schedule has seen the rivalry between the talented trio increase as the long awaited night looms large for all three legend riders. Each rider is expected to jump at least three times within their twenty minutes.
This attempt will round out what is set to be an incredible evening of entertainment. As well as 17 other separate world record attempts, the event will feature an integrated pyrotechnics display and the sounds of home-grown talents Dead Letter Circus, Mammal and Kill the Capital.

ROBBIE MADDISON CRASH
MARCH 6TH 2008
Faceplant for Aussie Crusty Demon Robbie Maddison
March 06, 2008 12:00pm
AUSTRALIAN motorcycle daredevil Robbie Maddison has spectacularly crashed while attempting one of his easiest tricks.
The Crusty Demon came to grief after a gust of wind blew him off balance while attempting a handlebar handstand trick and, on landing, the bike hit a wet patch throwing him to the ground. AAP photographer Julian Smith said Maddison, 26, was shaken up after the botched jump in Melbourne's Docklands precinct. He was taken to hospital suffering from a severely grazed hip. "He was about 20m in the air when he was caught in a cross-wind that threw him off balance," Smith said. "It was his third warmup jump, and one of his easiest tricks, but he was pretty shaken up after the fall." After dusting himself off, Maddison said he would have jumped again if the bike had not been so badly damaged. Publicist Martine Cousins said there was some pressure on Maddison to jump even though the conditions were not to his liking. "He didn't want to disappoint people," Cousins said. Despite the mishap, Maddison is set to try to better his world record of 32 98m set on New Year's Eve in the US with a 106m jump at Calder Park later his month. Watch the drama unfold here

SCOTT MURRAY LANDS FIRST EVER DOUBLE BACK FLIP IN AUSTRALIA
MARCH 3RD 2008
SCOTT MURRAY DOUBLE FLIPS INTO EXTREME SPORTS HISTORY
The most death defying trick in extreme sports successfully completed in Australia
The Crusty Demons show in Launceston tonight played host to a monumental event in action sports when American daredevil Scott Murray pulled off an incredible double back flip. Scott is one of only two men to have ever completed the trick and the only man in history to have completed it more than once. Prior to tonight the double back flip had only ever been completed successfully once in competition by the world famous Travis Pastrana at the ESPN X Games in Los Angeles.
The atmosphere was electric at Aurora Stadium as the crowd of around 10,000 waited in anticipation for the craziest trick in extreme sport. Every pair of eyes was on Scott as soon as he revved his motorbike and hit the ramp to flip twice in the air as if in slow motion. Landing it perfectly he rode off the lander and into the history books. The crowd erupted in screams and cheers and were in complete shock and awe of what they had just witnessed.
Scott made two attempts at the double back flip on the first stop of the Unleash Hell Regional Tour in Canberra on February 16, but crashed badly on the second. Falling four metres off the lander he was taken off to hospital by paramedics. Miraculously escaping injury he was released from hospital the following day and has been recovering and training hard determined to land the insane manoeuvre this time round.
“I was so disappointed I let the fans down in Canberra and there was no way I wanted to that again. I knew I had it this time and it feels so awesome to pull off what I came here to do. I could feel the tension in the crowd and it just made me more determined,” said Scott. “I can’t explain how great this feels!”
The whole show had the crowd going crazy with perfect weather conditions for riders to pull out all stops. The top three riders in the world were on show - world number one Nate Adams, X Games gold medallist Adam Jones and Mike Mason - all from the USA as well as Australia’s number one “Bilko” and the rest of the Crusty crew.
New Crusty Demons rider Nicky Danielson from the US pulled off an insane Shoalin Flip where he
flicked his legs through the handlebars whilst upside down in the middle of a back flip. Other highlights included an all in expression session and back flip train.

CRUSTY TEAM RIDERS TAKING A DIVE WITH THE SHARKS!!
FERUARY 26 TH 2008
TEAM RIDERS LUKE SMITH, BILKO, BUBBA AND NATE ADAMS TAKING ON THE SHARKS OF AUSSIE
Hi All,
Yesterday I got the chance alongside Bilko, Nate Adams, and Bubba to swim with sharks at the Melbourne aquarium. It was the first time I had ever given scuba diving a go it’s pretty cool.
Myself and bubba freaked out abit at first swimming in the little tank, as we could not get used to swimming under water the breathing and stuff but after 5 mins we had the hang of it. Whilst in the little tank there was some baby sharks and stingrays whipping around.
Next up was a half hour dive in the big tank!!!!!
Let’s just say the first time you come face to face with a 4m shark your heart defiantly gets going. After a while I started to feel good in the water and was fun looking back at all the public walking through the aquarium with 4 idiots who ride motorbikes swimming around.
Just before we was about to start swimming back and get out a little shark bit my flipper and hung on for a while till our scuba instructor gave him a little tap and he let go.
So that’s it folks I survived a mini shark attack ha and came out with all my limbs.
SETH IS "BACK IN BLACK"
JANUARY 2008
TEAM RIDER SETH ENSLOW ON THE UPCOMING "NIGHT OF WORLD RECORDS"
Rockstar Energy Drink presents, Crusty Demons Night of World Records
One Night: Ten Guinness World Records: 30,000 People.
In 1971 Evel Knievel attempted the world's longest distance two-wheeled motorcycle jump of 174 feet. The world watched in awe as he did the impossible and defied the rules of gravity. Now the world will be astonished once more, as three modern day Evel Knievel's attempt to take his feat to a whole new level and conquer the phenomenal distance of 300 feet.
USA's Seth Enslow, Ryan Capes and Australia's Robbie Maddison share the fierce obsession and passion to claim this extreme sports accolade as their own. This will now become a reality for one of them, as the trio will battle it out for the world's most death defying Guinness World Record when Rockstar Energy Drink presents the Crusty Demons Night of World Records at Calder Park Raceway on Saturday 29 March, 08.
In March 08 Trigger Gum's Guinness record of 277 feet is set to be smashed with Ryan Capes already unofficially eclipsing this figure and Enslow and Maddison stating their intentions to take their place in history. The record breaking attempts require a new million dollar arena to be constructed, which will include the world's biggest ever down ramp at 125 foot long and 60 foot high and wide. Over 30,000 tonnes of dirt will be used with more than 15,000 tonnes of soil for the down ramp.
To complement the record breaking, a rock concert and full Crusty Demons freestyle motocross show will be presented by Rockstar Energy Drink and includes US freestyle stars world number one Nate Adams, 07 X Games gold medallist Adam Jones, Mike Mason, Jim McNeil, Jon Guetter along with Aussies Blake 'Bilko' Williams, Steve Mini, Matt Schubring, Joel Balchin, Cam Sinclair and Kain Saul.
Other records up for grabs include the world's longest distance jump with a trick, longest distance jump on a mini bike, longest quad bike jump, longest distance jump on a road bike and longest distance jump on a snow mobile.

CRUSTY DEMONS U.K. AND AUSSIE REGIONAL TOUR
JANUARY | FEBRUARY | MARCH | 2008
UK CROWDS GO CRAZY FOR CRUSTY!!!
The first ever Crusty Demons tour of the UK has kicked off in spectacular style with fans across the country lifting the roof off the show venues.
From the opening run of Crusty rookie Myles Richmond to the final back flip combination train, the Crusty riders have been throwing it down and leaving nothing behind.
All the insane tricks the Crusty’s are known for have left the UK crowds in a state of shock, including the quad bike and snow mobile back flips, and the biggest combination flips ever seen in Europe.
Nicky Danielson from Arizona in the US was flown in at the very last minute to replace a sick Matt Schubring with only minutes to prepare his bike, Nicky pulled off a massive Shaolin back flip that blew everyone away, including the other Crusty riders.
The Crusty babes were a massive hit, with four gorgeous girls flown in direct from Australia complemented by two hot locals.
The freak did his best to make everyone sick, Akoni Kama crashed in London, but stuck it on the second night and Kain Saul unleashed a massive super flip over 40 feet on his modified mini bike.
Before this tour there had only been a handful of straight back flips ever performed in the UK, so the crowd went berserk at over 15 different back flip combinations and more than 50 flips during each show including the death defying 10 rider back flip combination train.
So it’s on to Belfast for the two shows at Belfast Odyssey this weekend and we are guessing the Irish crowds will be even louder than the English!
The Unleash Hell UK tour kicked off in Manchester on January 3 and after wowing audiences there moved on to do the same in London and Birmingham. The tour will draw to a close on January 11 after two huge shows scheduled for Belfast.
