5-Minutes With Josh Sheehan |

It's been a massive year for West Oz freestyler Josh Sheehan, and it
ain't done yet! He joined the Nitro Circus tour at the beginning of the
year, then destroyed his opposition in the IFMXF Night Of The Jumps
series in the last 6 events, he reached the podium at Red Bull
X-Fighters in Italy and Spain, and more recently stomped his first
Double Backflip under pressure against the best big trickers on the
planet to claim a bronze medal in Moto X Best Trick, X Games 17 ...
you'd have to agree it doesn't get too much bigger than that for a rider
who was pretty much unknown before the 2011 season got underway. As we
head into the final stop of the Red Bull X-Fighters series in Sydney
Sheehan is fighting against time to ensur ehe is fully fit and ready to
take the fight to the likes of series leader Nate Adams, Dany Torres and
Robbie Maddison to name a few. Will he be ready to roll? Can he cause a
major upset? We caught up with him at his home in West Oz to find out!

Too Strong – Catching Up With Jacko Strong |
|
Written by Goba

It all came together for Jacko Strong at this years X Games Moto-X
Best Trick event after he stomped the first ever Front Flip in
competition, a trick the X Games organisers pretty much had given up on
leading up to the 17th edition of FMX’s Olympic games. Jacko proved to
himself and to the world that one of, if not the hardest tricks in the
sport, is possible under extreme pressure. And it was no fluke! Jacko
signed off three months of his life to dial in the trick that took him
to gold in an all-Aussie podium, just edging out Cam Sinclair’s Double
Flip Nac and Josh Sheehan’s Double Flip. It was an epic moment for FMX
Down Under, and according to Jacko one of the greatest achievements of
his life. Now as he is starting to come down from the high Jacko’s focus
is doing his home country proud at the first ever Red Bull X-Fighters
event to hit our shores, but first he needs an invite, and 4 weeks out
we caught up with the Mulisha protégé to talk about his X Games success
and whether we’ll see the Front Flip in Sydney if he gets a start.
Jacko led the Aussie charge at Moto X Best Trick, X games 17, taking the gold!

Seth Enslow: The Next Phase |

 Talk
to anyone that rides a dirt bike Down Under about Seth Enslow and
they'll tell you about their favorite scene of him jumping big gaps in
one of the many Crusty Demons videos that have been produced over the
last decade. Enslow is a god-like figure to extreme moto fans in
Australia, the warrior who has beaten his body to a bloody pulp all in
the name of "busting big!" But busting big isn't something you can keep
doing forever and Enslow, now age 36, is spending his time in the
country he calls his second home, giving back to the fans that have
supported him over the years, and as you'll read he's having a good old
time doing it!

It's
been a long time coming and on the eve of my departure I feel like a kid
one sleep before Christmas day. The day when I throw my leg over my
KTM690R and ride off on a planned 6000+Km adventure ride that will see
five of us ride into the heart of Australia self-supported.
How good is that feeling of getting off the tar with no one insight
