The Crusty Demons Beyond the Apocalypse Tour witnessed the triumphant return of Freestyle Motocross superstar Cam Sinclair today at Darwin’s TIO Stadium, with his successful landing of one of the sport’s most difficult tricks - the death- defying double back flip.

Cam Sinclair chose this steaming hot Darwin afternoon for his comeback to the FMX scene, following a near fatal crash while attempting his world- renowned double back flip in Spain last July. That night in Madrid, Sinclair under rotated the trick with the wreck resulting in multiple head, shoulder and internal injuries.

Following seven months of intensive rehabilitation, Sinclair was psyched and ready to once again put his life on the line. As the screaming crowd of 6232 Crusty fans watched in anticipation, Sinclair took several sighting runs past the ramps before launching into the mighty double back flip. After two full rotations Sinclair landed sweetly, dropped his bike, fell to his knees and kissed the ground in a sign of exultant relief.

“But I kept the faith that I could do it again and I’ve done it here today,” Sinclair concluded. “It’s an amazing feeling. An absolutely amazing feeling.”

Earlier in the day Queenslander Kain Saul back flipped a massive Harley- Davidson XR1200 for the second successive weekend. Saul is the only man to ever land the Harley- Davidson back flip, which he did recently on dirt and again last Saturday on the Gosford leg of the Crusty Demons Beyond The Apocalypse Tour. On that occasion Saul landed awkwardly and has spent the past week

undergoing daily physiotherapy on his injured back to be ready to flip the mighty beast here in Darwin. Today, however, Saul extended the ramps by two feet, reduced his approach speed and landed this insane trick with apparent ease. “That felt great,” exclaimed the normally reserved Kain Saul. “I got it all the way round and landed it almost perfectly. I hit my butt on the seat and tweaked last week’s back injury a bit but it’s all good and it’s just great to get it done.”

Nineteen- year- old daredevil Jackson Strong once again came within mere centimetres of landing the most dangerous trick in freestyle motocross - the legendary front flip - for the first time ever on Australian soil. As with last weekend’s attempt Strong was a few degrees short of full rotation, causing him to flip over the handlebars headfirst onto the front wheel. With only minor bruising and a cut lip Strong declared he’ll be ready for another crack at the front flip at the Bundaberg stop of the Crusty Demons Beyond The Apocalypse Tour on May 15.

Other show highlights that kept Darwin fans on the edge of their seats included Texan Caleb Moore back flipping a quad bike, Aussie Ben Fiez attempting not one but two double backs flips on a mini bike, amazing freestyle combinations and, of course, the beautiful Woodstock Crusty Babes.

The Crusty Demons Beyond The Apocalypse Tour now moves on to Bundaberg and Cairns where it promises to deliver the wildest brand of FMX mayhem regional Australia has ever witness.
