Queensland FMX and Crusty Demon ace Kain Saul will ride green in 2011 on a Freerider MX Magazine project Kawasaki KX250F
Switching from a short stint on Husqvarn, Saul is excited to make the switch to Kawasaki for the first time in his career while again having the opportunity to once again represent the Showtime FMX outfit in selected outings.
“I had a really good end to 2010, riding Husky’s throughout the Crusty Demons Tour and landing pretty much all of my Harley Davidson back-flip attempts; but the opportunity to be free to ride to ride the KX250F in some of the Showtime FMX shows around Australia is too good to refuse. Showtime really kicked my career off for me a few years ago, so to be able to ride with my buddies there again if the opportunity arises will be a lot of fun and great exposure for me.” Kain Saul said.
Saul, a former Australasian Freestyle Motocross (FMX) Champion in 2008, put his name in lights by becoming the first rider ever to land a back-flip on a 275 kg XR1200 Harley Davidson motorcycle. A stunt which is arguably one of the most dangerous in FMX. Having completed this task throughout the 2010 Crusty Demons ‘Thirst for Destruction’ Tour, he now has his sights set firmly on further improving his vast array of tricks on his new KX250F.
Freerider MX Magazine is Australia’s premier freestyle motocross focused publication. Having seen Saul’s career develop over many years, Editor of Freerider MX Ben Foster, welcomed the opportunity to utilise his talents to help further develop their 2011 project bike for the benefit of readers.
“I’m stoked to have Kain riding our long-term test KX250F. It’ll provide myself and the readers the knowledge of setting up the new Kawasaki for freestyle, focusing on specifics like cutting the bike down, doing suspension and tuning with EFI. In one way I’m bummed, as it was my regular ride, but on the other hand I’m pumped it’s getting put to good use and will be on display for the rest of Australia to see. We’ll continue with the updates in the mag every issue and be checking in on a regular basis to how Kain’s going with the bike. So stay tuned to both the website and mag for all the details.” Ben Foster said.
Saul’s first appearance for 2011 riding his all new green machine, will be at the popular St Kilda Festival, on the foreshore of Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay, on February 12 and 13.
