Robbie “Maddo” Maddison deservedly
took FMX honours at the weekends Red Bull XRAY, but for many who were there to
witness the action it was a new breed of youngsters who stole the show.
Tye Simmonds, Cody Mackie and
Jarryd McNeil, remember them, as you’ll be hearing a lot more about these
freaks in the near future as they stepped up big-time against some of the
world’s best dirt-bike riders and tore apart the Maddo inspired freeride course
like they were possessed.

Schuieville – The Next Phase In Matt Schubrings Career |
|
Written by Goba

What happens to FMX riders once their bodies start breaking down and they can’t execute tricks like they used to. They can’t keep up with the rapid evolution of the sport because their body parts are wrecked, and what they started out doing for pure enjoyment is now just another day at the office to pay the bills and keep the family afloat.
Some riders quickly fall on the scrap heap, but others like Matt ‘Schuie’ Schubring use their brains to make sure they’ve got something to fall back on when the time comes to hang up the boots. To read more 'click here'
Schuie has set himself up comfortably thanks to FMX and if his dreams come true 'Schuieville' will keep him busy for many years to come. Pic: Courtesy of Smakka.

Homegrown Maniacs TV Airing Soon |

It’s been a while coming but the Australian Home Grown Maniacs TV series that aims to capture the Aussie extreme sports culture, including sports freestyle motocross, skate boarding, surfing, and BMX, will officially air Down Under on Fuel TV, July 4th.
The driving force behind the HGM series is West Oz photo/film/journo Leith “Holtzy” Holtzman. Holtzy is the man largely responsible for unearthing many of Australia’s early FMX riders when the sport took off here more than a decade ago. His road-trips discovering new talent inspired him to produce the first full-blown FMX movie in Oz named “Homegrown Maniacs”, and he has also contributed feature stories to Freerider MX magazine since its humble beginnings in 2000 to now.
I recently caught up with Holtzy to get the low-down on his latest venture, what inspired him to produce it, and to find out just what Aussie fans can expect when they tune into the new HGM series. 'To read interview click here'

"Why don't I feel excited", I thought to myself as I walked away from
the Crusty Demons 'Beyond the Apocalypse' show held at Sydney's Acer
Arena. All around me there were thousands of people that obviously
were, and so they should be as they'd just seen some of the world's
best riders perform the latest and greatest and most insane FMX tricks
known to man kind. 'To read more click here'
At times I wondered who were the stars of the show?

Four days before the first round of the 2009 Redbull X-Fighters freestyle event went down in Mexico City the relatively unknown Kiwi Levi Sherwood said, “This is one event I've always wanted to ride in and hopefully I'll do good.”
Filling in for Jeremy “Twitch” Stenburg was a dream come true for Levi and the boy did more than good, he killed it!
