Enslow bucking the trend
Jumping an XR1200 at Crusty DemonsRenowned motorcycle daredevil Seth Enslow is up to more tricks - this time performing a freestyle jump on a Harley-Davidson as part of the upcoming Crusty Demons 'Beyond the Apocalypse' capital city tour.
Bucking the trend of motocross bikes starring in such productions, the stunt will be performed on a customised XR1200 roadbike (here), which is the modern day incarnation of Evel Knievel's motorcycle, the XR750.
"My freestyle jump on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle will be something neither Crusty Demons fans nor anyone in Australia has seen before," said Enslow. "Harleys simply aren't known for their ability to jump.
"But the XR1200 is not what you'd expect. I've been doing practice distance jumps on it for a while now and the motorcycle has some serious torque. Even with the short run up of most arenas, this XR1200 is going to fly."
The XR1200 has been customised specifically for the landing required of a distance jump, most obviously the suspension.
Enslow is a true pioneer in modern distance jumping and freestyle motocross, and has broken numerous world records -- and bones.
The Crusty Demons Beyond Apocalypse Now tour schedule is as follows:
- Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, May 15-16
- Brisbane Entertainment Centre, May b22-23
- Acer Arena, Sydney, May 29-30
- Adelaide Entertainment Centre, June 5-6
