Maddo to headline Crusty Demons

Australia's freestyle motocross guru Robbie Maddison has signed a multi-year deal with Crusty Demons, and will make his return to the live act during the Thirst 4 Destruction Tour capital city tour during October and November.

And stay tuned for a major competition that the Bikesales Network will be running in conjunction with the tour. Let's just say that someone's competition race bike could be up for grabs...

The 29-year-old's last ride as a member of the Crusty Demons was in front of 30,000 people at the Night of World Records event in 2008 at Calder Park, where he set his long-distance world record.

"I'm stoked to be joining the Crusty family as the years to come look set to be bigger and better than ever before," said Maddison. "I'll be working with the team to come up with an exciting show and plan to uncover a few new moves I've been working on exclusively for fans at the shows.

"The progression of FMX is only limited by the imagination and I'll be putting my head together with my fellow Crusty riders to set the bar higher than it's ever been."

Fans at the upcoming Crusty Demon's Thirst 4 Destruction shows in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney will get the first look at Maddison's Volt body varial trick which handed him victory in this year's Madrid leg of Red Bull X-Fighters and a silver medal at last weekend's X Games 16 in California.

"Maddo" joins a world-class line-up of riders during the Bikesales Network-sponsored tour, including Jackson Strong, Kain Saul, Seth Enslow, Taka Higashino, Mike Mason and Nate Adams.

The 'Thirst 4 Destruction schedule is as follows:

October 16: Burswood Dome, Perth
October 23: Adelaide Entertainment Centre
October 30: Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
November 13: Brisbane Entertainment Centre
November 27: Acer Arena, Sydney
