The Crusty Demons are a group of daredevil motorcyclists from the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
This all started in 1994 when filmmakers Jon Freeman and Dana Nicholson had been accumulating footage to showcase a behind the scenes expose of the lifestyle of an American pro motocross rider in action, 145ft plus jumps, 45ft high in the air soaring over sand dunes, mountains, houses, buses and anything else secure and steep enough to hold the weight of bike and rider.
The end result was Fleshwound Films and the first video Crusty Demons of Dirt . The launch of this video was to change the face of motocross and create a sport that has become the most popular of all extreme sports today, Freestyle Motocross (FMX) .
Fleshwound Films spent two years gathering footage for the first motocross film and 1994 saw the release of Crusty Demons of Dirt . The excitement and hysteria the film created was phenomenal and its success brought about a lot of poachers. Although others were out there trying to create motocross videos, none managed to achieve quite the same impact that Crusty had. Following the success of the first film, Crusty 2 was premiered 18 months later. Sales exceeded expectations and tripled from the first video as the Crusty phenomenon began spreading worldwide. What was somewhat a stagnant sport had received a positive injection of interest and proved its worthiness of being showcased Internationally. People began buying the clothing worn by their heroes (Fleshgear) and thousands around the world were getting bikes and heading for the racetrack, mountains, sand dunes and the sky.
It was only to grow bigger. With the release of Crusty 3 in 1997 and the videos and sport still booming with popularity, freestyle motocross pioneers Lofty and Brian Jordan went to Fleshwound Films with the idea of staging a freestyle motocross competition. Four months later the first competition was held in Las Vegas. This new side of the sport was looked down upon by the industry and many people said it would go nowhere - the excitement amongst the fans indicated that they strongly disagreed.
Before long FMX was introduced as a new sport in the 99 X games in San Francisco and was given worldwide exposure through ESPN television. FMX was then stamped as the king of Extreme, becoming the number one sport at the X Games.
Competition requires riders to travel a course for 90 seconds performing as many tricks as possible, which are judged by a panel. Usually about 10 jumps are completed in this time bracket and riders compete for prize money.
Fleshwound Films undoubtedly played a crucial part in the evolution of the sport, they are still shooting Crusty Films today and recently released the 10th instalment titled – Crusty X – A Decade of Dirt. They have successfully implemented their vision into the industry, introducing the world to their friends and lifestyles whilst creating gods in the stars of their video series. A highlight for them has been coming up with such a unique idea; planning to make it happen and seeing it grow beyond their vision internationally. Travelling to film in Australia, Japan, Brazil, Africa and Peru to name a few, has meant Fleshwound Films created 'The National Geographic of motocross'.

Donn Maeda: Editor of Transworld Motocross Magazine: "Holy Shit dude! This thing is ridiculous in my bike!" This is the Best ting you can do to your bike for under 200 bucks! It's worth its weight in gold!"
Motocross Action Wrecking Crew: "5 Stars! No Complaints! We'd run the Loud Mouth because it makes changing the filter easier. The improved power band is a bonus!"
Brendan Lutes: "For the Money... The Loud Mouth is a great performance product! I can actually hear it sucking in air as I enter corners!"
Nick Wey: "The Loud Mouth is Bad Ass! It gave me confidence again!"
Steven Clarke aka "Scuba Steve" of Suzuki City: "Awesome!!! My bike runs so much better! It had a bog before but it's never run so crisp before!"
Joey Savatgy (RM 125) : "It gave my 125 more bottom end and it runs better everywhere!"
Josh Woods: "The Loud Mouth helps everywhere across the RPM range! I'm going to tell people about it!"
Justin Starling: "The Loud Mouth is sick!"
Justin Sipes: "The Loud Mouth really makes a lot more power everywhere especially the mid-range!"

VELOCITY GEAR is a small family business dedicated to the passion of two-wheeled motorsports. Started from the necessity to provide our family "real world" cost effective safety solutions. We don't advertise in Motorcycle Magazines or spend thousands of dollars at Motorcycle Trade Shows. We prefer to put our money into product development and testing while pursuing European CE standards for Motorcycle Clothing. Current Motorcycling apparel built by the largest companies in the Industry do not see CE testing as a defining aspect of product development.
As motorcycle enthusiasts, we believe Safety = SPEED. Your ability to progress on a motorcycle is directly related to your ability to withstand the forces of impact that come with progression. We're serious about progression both in riding and product development.
