Crusty Demons embark on a new direction
Ahead of the upcoming Thirst 4 Destruction Tour in October and NovemberThe upcoming Crusty Demons Thirst 4 Destruction tour will introduce a host of new repertoires, headlined by freestyle motocross juggernaut and all-round daredevil Robbie Maddison.
Fans will also be the first to catch a glimpse of Australia's first female freestyle motocross rider, Emma McFerran, as well as pint-sized sensation, six-year-old Jasyn Roney.
Emmy Award-winning duo David Atkins and Ignatius Jones are in charge of the shows, which will be a new chapter in the 16-year history of the action sports brand.
"We know a bit about arena shows, and we're going to use everything we've learnt to bring our brand of epic theatre to the bad, bad lunacy that is Crusty. We're going to take it to a new place, a truly wild and crazy place," said Jones.
"We want to enhance what's already the gnarliest, edgiest FMX show on the planet with some huge new technical effects, a huge new screen, totally demented and brand-new pyrotechnic craziness.
"The tour will showcase feats not before seen -- Robbie Maddison's going to do a ceiling drop in, Kain Saul's going to back-flip a Harley, and 'Jacko' Strong will do the first-ever indoor front flip. We're also introducing some new talent in Emma McFerran and young Jasyn Roney.
"We're going to set world records with our flip-trains, and trick-trains and FMX cross-overs, not to mention the craziness you get when you put guys like Seth Enslow, Mike Metzger, Matt Schubring and Beau Bamburg all under one roof - not to mention that mad kamikaze, Taka, and good ol' everlovin' Bubba!
"We're going back to dirt, and we're going to hit that dirt and hammer it hard," Jones stated.
Maddison, who recently signed a multi-year deal with the Crusty Demons, said the appointment of Atkins and Jones would help to create a unique spectacle for fans and was excited to be involved in the planning stages.
"To be working with the likes of David (Atkins) and Ignatius (Jones) on the show plan is an amazing opportunity, I'm fortunate enough to have plenty of creative input and between us and the team at DCE I am certain we can create something incredible.
"There will be plenty of new stunts on show and we're currently working on one that has never been attempted before where I will drop in from a platform suspended above the arena.
"The Thirst 4 Destruction Tour will take Crusty to new heights. The rider line-up is exciting - we've got both new and established riders from all across the world taking part.
The full rider line-up will be announced over the coming weeks.
