Innovative event promoters Full Throttle Sports have announced details of an all-new, revolutionary freestyle motocross
event/series that will tour nationally in late 2004.
Billed as the first ever Australian made freestyle motocross theatrical event - FMX Unleashed, as it will be know, will make
three stops across three states with 16 of Australian‰Ûªs top pro freestylers making up the show.
The events will feature the ultimate of freestyle motocross tricks, the Back Flip, with
Motorcycling Australia , the sports governing body, being instrumental in making it possible in sanctioned demonstrations.
"Motorcycling Australia understands that the sport is growing rapidly and they‰Ûªve recognised that to nurture its growth we need
to support and guide it. They‰Ûªve been open-minded towards the freestyle motocross movement and together with Full Throttle Sports,
I believe the sport will continue to grow." said Full Throttle Sports Event Manager Mick Sinclair.
FMX Unleashed will be led by the infamous participants of the Australian tour of Crusty Demons of Dirt- Matt Schubring, Cameron
Sinclair, Robbie Madison and Blake Williams.
All four will take part in not only the theatrical segment, but will also battle it out in competition. Each have recently pulled
off back flips and back flip variations and will join former Summer X Games Gold Medalist and fellow Crusty‰Ûªs performer Luke Urek.
Also joining the series will be a list that includes the who‰Ûªs who of FMX - Matt McFerran, Luke & Matt Cole, Michael Norris, Jake
Bowen, Noel Cotter, Mick & Dan Hall, Shaun Richardson, Steve Mini, Jeremy Ray and Robbie Alderberg. Jay Woolley will also join the
line up of FMX riders as a wildcard rider in the Hobart round only.
The riders will attack the track from all angles on what promoters are describing as a "HELLTRACK" consisting of two 75ft gaps and
a 50ft super kicker. For those dedicated to the mini monsters, a phenomenal supercross orientated Fast 50 track will see Cameron
Sinclair, Kain Saul, Blake Williams, Brent Brady, Josh Milz and Brody Jennings in action.
FMX Unleashed will start with a rehearsed, choreographed, slick action packed show, and for the first time ever, leads into one
and a half hours of non stop competition with the all new stand alone Freestyle Motocross Pro Series (FMXPS).
The competition will encompass two categories, the "Combination Freestyle Competition" and the "Big Air". The Combination category
will have each of the 16 riders compete in a 60 second heat. The top six point scorers will go through to the final, whilst the
remainders will transfer to the Semi. The Semi Finalists will all receive a 60 second run with the top 6 transferring into the 12
man final. Each finalist will have a 90 second run + 1 jump after the buzzer.
The Big Air Comp will see riders perform their best three tricks. The overall winner will be determined through a process of
elimination.
Full Throttle Sports is in negotiations with several event sponsors with detals to be announced in the lead up to the first round.
