The Crusty Demons show in Launceston tonight played host to a monumental event in action sports when American daredevil Scott Murray

pulled off an incredible double back flip. Scott is one of only two men to have ever completed the trick and the only man in history to have

completed it more than once.

Prior to tonight the double back flip had only ever been completed successfully once in competition by the world

famous Travis Pastrana at the ESPN X Games in Los Angeles.

The atmosphere was electric at Aurora Stadium as the crowd of around 10,000 waited in anticipation for the craziest trick in extreme sport.

Every pair of eyes was on Scott as soon as he revved his motorbike and hit the ramp to flip twice in the air

as if in slow motion. Landing it perfectly he rode off the lander and into the history books. The crowd erupted in screams and

cheers and were in complete shock and awe of what they had just witnessed.

Scott made two attempts at the double back flip on the first stop of the Unleash Hell Regional Tour in Canberra on February 16,

but crashed badly on the second. Falling four metres off the lander he was taken off to hospital by paramedics. Miraculously escaping injury he was

released from hospital the following day and has been recovering and training hard determined to land the insane manoeuvre this time round.

“I was so disappointed I let the fans down in Canberra and there was no way I wanted to that again. I knew I had it this time

and it feels so awesome to pull off what I came here to do. I could feel the tension in the crowd and it just made me more

determined,” said Scott. “I can’t explain how great this feels!”

The whole show had the crowd going crazy with perfect weather conditions for riders to pull out all stops. The top three riders in the

world were on show - world number one Nate Adams, X Games gold medallist Adam Jones and Mike Mason - all from the USA as

well as Australia’s number one “Bilko” and the rest of the Crusty crew.

New Crusty Demons rider Nicky Danielson from the US pulled off an insane Shoalin Flip where he

flicked his legs through the handlebars whilst upside down in the middle

of a back flip. Other highlights included an all in expression session and back flip train.
