Schuie has been putting in the hard yards lately, riding countless shows, digging and building the 'Giants Of Dirt' BMX jumps, and upgrading his personal riding compound at Boonah! It all came to life today, as a swag of the world's best FMX and MX riders converged for an epic film shoot for the next Crusty Demons film, as well as Schuie's personal TV feature which will be airing on Fuel TV early next year.

Schuie was joined by X Games Gold Medallist Josh Hansen, Beau Bamburg, Steve Mini, Kain Saul, Billy Mackenzie, Todd Waters, Robbie Marshall and more, who all went about carving up Schuie's fresh course.

Of all the amazing stuff that went down throughout the day, apparently everyone's highlight was the crazy chopper pilot who was on site helping with the filming. The Gold Coast pilot had told us he was prepared to dig worms out of the ground with the chopper if we wanted, and as soon as we took off to start filming, his words begun to come to life! Within a 45 minute session, we tore the top of one of Schuies pine trees, blew Crusty creator Jon Freeman off the dirt landing he was filming from, and scraped the tail rotor across some of Dane's BMX jumps while chasing the FMX guys around the yard. You will be able to see som of the amazing footage in a soon to be released Unit / Crusty web video, as well as a full section in the next Crusty Demons film. A more indepth feature will also be included in Schuie's personal TV feature which will be airing on Fuel TV early next year.
