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'
