‘The General’ of freestyle motocross, Brian Deegan, will report for duty at the Crusty Demons Thirst 4 Destruction tour show in Brisbane next month.
A pro Supercross racer turned FMX superstar, Deegan has been at the forefront of the emerging action sports movement for many years and has the silverware, and scars, to prove it.
With his X Games medal tally well into double digits, Deegan has recently turned his attention to another passion of his, four wheels, and competitively races off-road trucks, rally cars and NASCAR Late Model Stock Cars when his hectic schedule allows.
Deegan is also the founder of cult moto brand, the Metal Mulisha, which is an active supporter and sponsor of riders across the globe, including current Crusty tour talents Jackson Strong and Taka Higashino.
Deegan’s name is synonymous with FMX but has expanded well beyond the sport, with toy stores stocking his own action figures and banks offering branded Deegan Mastercard credit cards.
Jetting in for the Brisbane show on November 13, Deegan said he was looking forward to getting back to his roots and joining a number of long-time friends on the Thirst 4 Destruction Tour.
"I can't wait to come back to Australia and ride the Crusty show. Ever since the first show in 99' I've put this tour and the fans at the top of the list. Its time for Mulisha to come back and take over!” Deegan said.
The addition of the Metal Mulisha ‘General’ further bolsters the international lineup on the current Crusty Demons live tour.
Deegan joins Nate Adams, Mike Mason, Adam Jones, Beau Bamburg, Seth Enslow, Mike Metzger, Taka Higashino and many more renowned FMX icons.
The Aussie contingent is just as solid, with Robbie Maddison, Jackson Strong, Kain Saul, Emma McFerran, Steve Mini, Matt Schubring, Joel Balchin and more taking part in the national five-stop tour.
Tickets to the Brisbane (Brisbane Entertainment Centre) show are available at ticketek.com.au or by phoning 132 849. The final stop of the 2010 tour will be held in Sydney on November 27 at Acer Arena.

Nearly 12,000 people packed Perth’s Burswood Dome last night to witness the most extreme Crusty Demons show yet – Thirst 4 Destruction.
The West Australian crowd marvelled at the antics of global FMX stars Mike Metzger, Nate Adams, Taka Higashino, Mike Mason and Adam Jones, but were bought to their feet by the death defying feats of Australia’s own Jackson Strong and Kain Saul.
Australia’s first-ever female FMX rider Emma McFerran, who made her public debut, was a clear crowd favourite along with 6-year old Perth schoolboy Jasyn Roney, who demonstrated his phenomenal bike handling skills in race against Crusty Demons legend Bubba.
World FMX Trials Champion Jack Field entered the arena via the grandstand stairwell and nailed the worlds lowest ever backflip off a 30cm kicker.
The two-hour show, which was enhanced with over 2500 blasts of fireworks, flames and special effects saw 15 of the best FMX riders from around the globe showcase their skills through a range of cross-over jumps, trains and even a five-aside back-flip.
Whilst unable to jump due his injured wrist not quite healing in time, Robbie Maddison took on the role of co-MC joining Jerry Bernado in the Woodstock bar to call the show.
The Crusty Demons Thirst 4 Destruction Tour, presented by Woodstock Bourbon now heads to Adelaide's Entertainment Centre for the second stop of the tour.
