The Crusty Demons Unleash Hell Tour - The Full International Spectacular is coming to Wellington on 31 January 2009. Tickets are on sale now.

The Crusty Demons will return freestyle motocross (FMX) mayhem to Wellington in 2009 with its hugely successful Unleash Hell Tour which is currently touring worldwide across the UK, Europe and Australia.

The globally acclaimed Crusty Demons Unleash Hell Tour’s unprecedented nine stop tour of New Zealand will be the biggest and most extravagant youth sporting event ever to come to NZ. Fans can expect a few crusty surprises, plus freaks and stunts, the gorgeous crusty babes and a pyro, lights and sound show that will simply blow your mind.

New Zealand audiences in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland and Hamilton are set to witness the most death-defying trick in extreme sport, the double back flip, performed on a 120kg, 250cc dirt bike. America’s Scott Murray 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.

Each show will be a huge entertainment extravaganza and will be the only chance for New Zealand fans to see the world’s top riders in action. The star studded line-up includes world number one Nate Adams, X Games gold medallist Adam Jones, world number three Mike Mason, Jim McNeil and Nicky Danielson all direct from the USA.

New Zealand’s own Luke Smith is sure to unleash some insane riding for his home crowd along with Levi Sherwood who is one of the biggest upcoming talents in FMX across the globe.

Australia’s number one Blake ‘Bilko’ Williams will also be performing with fellow Aussies Steve Mini, Matt Schubring, Joel Balchin and Cam Sinclair. The world’s number one quad freestyler, Jon Guetter, will show off his bag of crazy tricks, along with mini-bike madness, the gorgeous Crusty babes and more than a few surprises you will have to see to believe.

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.

“The world’s top riders perform exclusively with the Crusty Demons outside of competitions. So if you want to see the biggest, craziest tricks in the world, you’ll have to come to a Crusty show.

“Our riders love touring in New Zealand, the crowds are insane, so the riding will be off the hook. Witnessing the double back flip live will be one of the most spectacular things you will ever see in action sport.

“The extremely dangerous trick requires a ramp that propels the rider close to 10 feet higher than a normal freestyle trick – almost 55 feet in the air. The rotation is almost twice as fast as for a normal back flip and so the consequences of crashing from that height with the bike spinning so fast are beyond apprehension. ”

Murray who is the rider performing the double back flip said that he is looking forward to performing the trick in New Zealand because he knows how much the crowds will appreciate it.

“The trick is way too dangerous to practice outside the foam pit so all you can do is go for it when the stakes are high and when you have a huge crowd to cheer and motivate you.

“New Zealand will be a great place to pull it off because I know there are a lot of fans there that will understand the difficulty of what I will be attempting. They will be loud and crazy which is what I need to get the adrenaline pumping and get me over the line.”

As well as the double back flip fans can expect to see more than 50 different tricks performed at the shows including the most difficult of all tricks, back flip combinations, where riders perform various FMX tricks whilst upside down in the middle of a back flip! These include the nac flip, the side saddle lander flip, heel clicker flip, cordova flip, lazy boy flip, shaolin flip, the 360 and the incredible ruler flip where the rider hangs almost straight down from the bike in the middle of a flip. X Games medallist Blake ‘Bilko’ Williams will also perform the world’s only three part combo – three separate freestyle tricks, during a back flip!

Outdoor Weather Notice
Freestyle motocross is the most dangerous sport in the world. When riders are attempting insane stunts 40 feet in the air over a 75 foot gap, the weather conditions have to be perfect as the onset of rain, dew, wind or other factors could be fatal.

That’s why we reserve the day after the show in case we need to reschedule. When you buy your ticket, please make sure that you are available for the next day too in case we have to use it. If we do, there are no refunds.
