Bilko and Jacko rock the Apocalypse

Written by Goba Friday, 26 February 2010 11:17

Freestyle Motocross superstars Blake “Bilko” Williams and Jackson “Jacko” Strong have today been announced to join the stellar line up on the Crusty Demons Beyond The Apocalypse Tour of regional Australia.

Williams, the current world number one, and Strong who performs the most dangerous trick in freestyle motocross, the legendary front lip, bring a new dimension of adrenaline‐charged exhilaration to the Beyond The Apocalypse Tour.

Williams, from Baxter, Victoria last year scored one of the highest honours in the world of motocross, taking out an X Games gold medal in the Moto X Freestyle category. Bilko also scored X Games silver in the Moto X Best Trick category and was named FMX Rider of the Year at the Transworld Motocross Awards in Las Vegas last October.

Williams will join his fellow Crusty Demons on the Albury, Bendigo, Orange, Coffs Harbour and Darwin legs of the Beyond The Apocalypse Tour.

Jackson Strong is set to bring his own brand of Crusty mayhem to the Beyond The Apocalypse Tour. Having joined the Crusty Demons three years ago as a fifteen-yearold, Strong has developed into one of the hottest FMX riders in the crew.

Strong broke his left arm when he missed a ramp during a demonstration jump in Sydney in January but will be fully fit, with plenty of practice under his belt by the time he attempts the mighty front flip in Gosford. Fans at Gosford’s Bluetongue Stadium are in for a unique experience, as this will be the first front flip attempt ever on Australian soil! Strong will also attempt the front flip in Darwin, Mackay, Bundaberg and Cairns.

Bilko and Jacko join a cast of eighteen other Crusty dare‐devils, including three of the world’s hottest Freestyle Motocross exponents Cam Sinclair, Mike Mason and Beau Bamburg.
