    Crustys shaped my music taste, what I think is fun, and my life to a degree. In my first year of high school, I asked the big wild kid who had a reputation for being nuts what he was listening to. He loaned me one headphone and it was "The fightback" by Superheist. I was like hey that's from Crustys 9. He said that's how he first heard it. 15 years later I was the best man at his wedding.

    Terafirma did it first for me, but between that and Crustys it totally moulded who I was back then and I remain that way today. The music, the 90s dirt bikes. Thank god I grew up before mobile phones and social media, a time where relationships and activities took work and as a result were rewarding. Nostalgia makes me sad but it was truly a fantastic time.

    I feel Crusty Demons paved the way for freestyle and agree with Hart and Partrana being some of the pioneers. Hart’s backflip attempt certainly created a evolution of the sport. Pastrana is one of those that could (almost) always do something on a bike and made things look effortless. I appreciate that Hart or Pastrana did not have fake personas/ a gimmick either.

    I never had the money to buy a bike. But I followed the AMA Moto / Super Cross for years. I watched Jeremy Mcgrath and there was a Yamaha rider we rooted for as well. He got hurt but still road. He started the 4 stroke campaign. We started watching his first season and the whole family watched every time it was on. When my wife at the time was screaming at the TV you know she was into as well. Then Ricky Carmichael with the 125 came CRASHING onto the seen. YES Yeah I mean CRASHING. He was fast but young and dumb. I love to look back on what I grew up with. Thanks, Good Job!!!

    This was awesome and nostalgic. My older brothers were in high-school in the late 90's and I was 6-9. They'd pick me up from school in a lifted 78 Ford F150. We'd watch these VHS's until dad came home about 5:30. I'm 32 now. About 4yrs ago I snagged up a 02 KX100 for a learner bike. I do a lot of slow technical woods riding with tons of backroads cruising and adventure. In 2020 bought a brand new YZ250X (obviously had to be a 2 stroke). Thank you for the blast from the past

Met a few of the "lesser known" stars over the years through different events or acquaintances. And when I started racing I was riding Mike healeys old '84 rm 80 a guy I know brought with him from California to Arkansas. That's all 💯 guys! Love 90s moto and everything that goes with it!

We watched that tape till it broke! Met a lot of the original CDD dudes when they would come to Kauai for vacay and my DB club would sponsor rides and we would take them to our best trails and stuff. Watched McGrath do some sick stuff. These guys could see lines the average rider couldn't-that is a gift for a dirt biker! Good stuff-

We all kept on riding into the early 90's until sadly one of my best mates was killed by someone in a stolen car. Until then they were the best years of my life. Despite the broken bones & injuries. This brought it all home for me. The Sun's shining outside right now & all I feel like doing is jumping on a bike & going for it again.

    I am not afraid to say that I had to wipe away a couple nostalgia tears. The documentary is amazing, perfectly captured the feel of the era and explained it perfectly. I grew up in a family of 7, we moved to 42 acres of bushland in 1995. I was 5 years old and my brother was 8, I had a 1995 Yamaha PW50 and my brother had a 1985 Yamaha DT80 ( I still have the DT80, we kept it in the family, it is sitting behind me as I type this).
    We would watch Crusty Demons 1 all the time, before school, before riding, any time we had 30 minutes to spare. We would then ride as hard as we could and hit the biggest hills. We progressed and I got the DT80 and my brother got a 1989 DT175, it was late 1990s, but it was all we could afford at the time, sponsored by Dad, haha. My brother went onto doing freestyle competitions in the 2000s on his YZ250 2 stroke.
    He ended up having kids and settling down, still rides, has a KTM 450 these days. I have a 2002 YZR YZ250 WRN . It is a street registerable 2 stroke model that was made for the Australian market only. It is the normal YZ race bike with a road compliance plate stuck onto it. Makes for an interesting bike to use in town since it has no lock, no reserve and no stand. Still requires a small digital speedo, led brake light and a numberplate fitted to be legal but I dont mind.
    Just wanted to thank you for transporting me back in time, I will share this with my brother.

    I remember recording it for my friend on a long minute VHS so I could fit it on one tape 3x so we didn’t have to keep rewinding it😆
    The music literally changed our lives, we were metal heads and just loved the new sound we were hearing, we literally called it Crusty Music and went on to discover a whole new genre. I am so glad and grateful that I was able to experience that era and ride dirt bikes. I am 59 now and still ride and play all the same music.

    Great video, man! This brought back a lot of memories for me. My Crusty story is that I worked at the facility where Jon Freeman edited Crusty 1 and 2 and we made all the VHS copies that were sold. At the time, I had no idea how it would impact the industry but I had been riding dirt bikes my whole life and I had never seen such crazy stuff before. As an 18-19 year old kid, it was super cool to be a small part of it. Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane…✌️😎

    Fantastic job with that video! I was in my early twenties when a friend of mine showed me the first Crusty movie. It was new at the time. I had never seen anything like it or thought anything like it was possible. I had an XR650L that got lightly used and he had raced mx on an amateur level until tearing an acl and going to college. Anyway, after watching Crusty, we agreed that we were going to a motorcycle dealership and get dirt bikes asap. I was immediately hooked and couldn’t believe how amazing a 250 two stroke mx bike was after getting off of that big old XR. Going riding on the district 34 tracks in New York and places like Southwick, Buds Creek and racing amateur days at places like Unadilla were amazing. And of course when you live in Connecticut, it never rains in Jersey. Winter riding in the pine barons. Loved every moment of it. Thanks for sharing that video. It made me relive some great memories. Cheers! Braaaap!

    I ended up spending a lot of time with these guys. I worked at a motorcycle shop in the late 90s early 2000s in Pennsylvania and became good friends with Dan Pastor. I ended up going to California with him for a little bit, and traveled to a bunch of shows all over the U.S., including X-Games, in 2001. Deegan, Twitch, Faisst, Adam Pierce (RIP) Tyler Evans (RIP), all came back to our room, (mine and Pastors, after the strip club and before Carey Harts video premier party) and we pre-gamed. Had a bunch of good times with these guys and they always treated me like I was one of them. Hell, I even got in a fender bender with Adam Pierce at X-Games in a car that he wasn't even supposed to be driving, and he somehow charmed his way out of it, yellow hair and all! I have tons of pictures and memorabilia from 1999-2005. Above all, if not for Dan Pastor, who has a heart of gold and is as solid as they come, I never would have gotten to live out these dreams of being around the Crusty Demons. Dan even got me in Crusty 9 lives jumping a car to Grinspoon, Lost Control! Yup, thats me in the silver Chevy Celebrity!

What you said in the awesome video of yours also kind of happened to me too as you might have guessed(lol), the ride was wild to say the least and still continues today. Crusty demons of dirt has brought only joy to my life, although I have been taking hard painkillers daily for 23 years but who f🦆 cares. lol

      The faster guys, just seemed to be at a higher skill level than I was, but I had an aggressive IDGAF

    This was either '96 or '97, but I remember taking my dirt bike to the shop to get some work done and figured Id hang out in the service dept while waiting. They had a tv playing some videos and then a box of random VHS tapes, I got to talking with the guy behind the counter, he told me this new video just came out, Crusty 2. So I bought it, got my bike when it was done and went home to watch my new video tape. HOLY SHIT!! Thats all I could think watching it the first 100 times. I was hooked. I bought every Crusty video I could get my hands on, TerraFirma, Steel Roots, etc. I kept a freestyle moto video rolling at all times in my bedroom, It was an amazing time for certain.

All the videos mentioned and more were the cause of many dislocated shoulders and several broken ankles!

    I remember watching these videos with my brother and every time we went riding I aspired to get big air. There wasn’t many places in CT that compared to the west coast. There was a place in Rocky Hill, CT we used to call the bone yard that eventually was bought by Tony Lorusso. He turned it into a legit track, but before that it was the only place that anyone could pull in and hit cool doubles, triples, and tabletops. It was insane, I remember being 15ft in the air and looking up at the bottom of someone else’s tires. I guarantee half of us on that track watched Krusty’s video the night before. I’ve also had too many ER visits and trashed bikes thanks to watching those crazy videos.

Years later Crusty 2000 would be mine and my buds go to movie. None of us could afford bikes so we raced BMX, Snow, skate did whatever we could to stay in the action. When I turned 18 I finally saved up enough money for a bike, a 01 CR250 with black plastics with metal spikes down the front fender. Road it a few time and sold it to go into the military for over a decade. Finally get out a few years ago and get a bike again last year. Every time I blaze the desert, I hear Guano Apes in my head.
