my phazers -- Posted by jimmyblaze on Thursday, December 7 2006
What’s in your phazer? What are you trying to hide? post up a sled check on this site tell us what’s in your sleds

Well to answer this I have to assume that you are talking about the Phazer I jump in all the shows. And the answer is I’m not hiding anything the motors are stock I have added a exhaust pipe its off of a r6 street bike. I also have changed the shocks I run fox floats in the front and in the center and a KYB in the rear. I hope that answers your questions please feel free to ask any more thanks jimmy

Twins B Day -- Posted by jimmyblaze on Tuesday, July 25 2006
Hey check out the new pictures on the photo gallery

So you want to be a Pro here is how to do it -- Posted by jimmyblaze on Wednesday, May 10 2006
I have been getting quite a few of these type of questions so read on and see if it helps you. This is just the normal email i get so im trying to be pretty broad and help.

hey jimmy
I know you probably don’t have time to check your myspace or email often but I was wondering what you did to get recognized by turnagain hardcore and those guys...
did they see you or did you like send a tape in...

I’m fourteen and pretty serious about sledding, and i was wondering how I could get my name to be heard somewhere...

Thanks for the help,
Scott Meyer



Scott,
Giles and Sebastian and my self all started together we were friends and this was just what we wanted to do, but i know that isn’t the answer you wanted. So here it is.
1. Make sure your sled is in the best condition clean but mostly mechanically sound, because you cant ride a sled that doesn’t run or breaks all the time,
2. Save up your money a grand or two should do, this is for travel, food and gas. In the mean time (while you’re saving your money you should ride your sled every chance you get know it inside and out, the feel and movement of it. Become one with it, I know it sounds cheesy but ask any good rider they know there sled inside and out.
3. Get good gear boots, pants, chest protector, helmet and other protective stuff.
4. Now here is the hard part. Show up everyday at the turnagain parking lot that the weather is good and ride your ass off. People will see and the twins are up there every good day.
5. But beware don’t go to far and hurt your self cause then you can’t do anything if your hurt.
so i hope this has helped all the people cause this is my most asked question that I get. any more questions please feel free to email me at jimmy@jimmyblaze.com


Thanks,
Jimmy Blaze


OH.... yea you can always roll to the parking lot with a case of highlife beer and you are sure to get recognized. (only if you are old enough to drink)

Or if you really think you got it and its on tape send it to me ill tell you what i think.

Sweden -- Posted by jimmyblaze on Sunday, April 9 2006
Sweden
Well let’s just start by saying I wasn’t going to go I mean I couldn’t go I was on the crusty tour right in the middle of it. Well I mean I already canceled all of the other shows to be in the land down under. So the only way I could go is if I found a replacement well my first replacement got hurt right before I was booking him a ticket so then I had to find someone that was willing to flip ramp to ramp. What I mean is i'm still the only person that has done it. Not that it is any harder, but the risks are so much greater than a normal flip. So I found someone do make the journey Ross mercer, booked him a ticket everything set and I jumped on a plane to Sweden. Viva la Sweden I made it to a beautiful hotel and a sweet compound.
The reason for me to flying so early was the Spunkbastards were putting on a school and you guessed it I was the teacher. But to the Swedish guys credit I didn’t teach them much they are really good. I think I just helped their confidence and refined some tricks. So the first day down everybody rode good and nobody got hurt.
Day 2
I woke up to a million messages and emails Ross didn’t get on the plane. Apparently he got hurt but what ever the reason he didn’t get on the plane. Man when it rains it pours, my mom I found out was still in the hospital and still not recognizing a one. But the best thing I learned from this is you can’t fix everything no matter how much you try. But I really want to extend a big thank you to Rush sports they are the ones that run the Crusty tour, you really are family and the best company I have ever worked with.
Day 3 Thursday
Kourtney hungerford Flies, the spunkbastards wanted another American to be in the show. So I thought who is got super styley tricks, a rider that can just show up and kill it, good with the crowd, and got a passport. I made a good choice. So the riders went out again for a super practice day, man I even got worried damn I haven’t done tricks in so long I have been so wrapped up in flips and double flips,
Day 4 Friday
I still haven’t rode yet but once again we went out and helped the riders out leaning new tricks and refining old ones and telling them what the judges looks for and what looks the best. Well since I hadn’t the planning I wanted for this trip I couldn’t get new phazer over there so I had to barrow a rev but its turned to be a 05 800 mod rev which is great if i'm in Alaska doing 200 foot jumps but not in a ramp comp. So the guys scrambled and found a 440 rev for me that worked out great with a little tuning. But I still didn’t ride in not sure why but I just was really not into it. So with Dan Adams, Kourtney and myself all together you know we had to go out and lucky we found a disco to go to. Disco= club, party yea roll in at 10pm (one bottle of vodka, yes we just buy it buy the bottle at the bar) and no people are there. 11pm (3 bottles) still no people 1130pm (4 bottles) still dead 1145pm (4 ½ bottles) 200 people 1200am everybody’s head butt wasted and somewhere between 12 and 1 we got 2 more bottles, I think we scared all the Swedish riders cause they went home. 130am about 20 fights break out I mean everywhere. So at about 2ish Dan and I get a ride home from nice Swedish girls that hit a reindeer on the way to the hotel. Lights out.
Day 5 game day
So get up early beat all the guys to breakfast and work out get ready. I get the sled and put on my gear. And i’m actually nervous I mean real bad. First jump, perfect. Now its on. I’m more scared about the first jump than flipping. So the comp was a normal best 6 tricks out of 8. I didn’t want to flip in my first run but I had to, I had to make it to the finals. So with the good tricks witch I don’t think were as good as Daniel Boden’s but I also through a flip and weather you like it or not it’s the most dangerous and skilled trick there is. The finals. Kourtney wow is all I can say I know I need to spend a week with him just to learn the extension that he has he is always on the edge so far away from the sled that no one thought he could come back, that’s just how good he is makes the impossible into reality. My run I just nailed it hit every thick and every flip, flip one hander’s as well as my favorite super-nac indo air. So all said and done Sweden was great.
The people are the best. Fans are crazy. Riders make me worry, they are that good.
I would like to thank the spunkbastards for bringing me over they truly believe in the sport and do it cause they love it and want to do something more with there life. That’s why I sponsored or donated my winnings back to them. Yes my first place checks. I think it will be good for the sport. On my last note I would like to say to jerry “kid you got the right stuff you can thrill the crowd do the tricks and you got what nobody can ever teach determination” watch for him an amazing person and a good friend. And Sofia a year went buy and it seemed like it was only a weekend you take care of my boy keep him focused he trusts you and will do what you say.
For my last thoughts Sweden is incredible the people the places the tank I got to drive thinks I will never forget thank you for the best memories – jimmy blaze
Please everybody pray for my mom things have gone from bad to worse. thank you for your support

-- Posted by jimmyblaze on Tuesday, March 28 2006
Well what the hell I got myself into. Why couldn’t I just stay on the damn beach in Australia and get wasted with the crew on the crusty tour. So that’s what’s i'm trying to figure out why I just flew from Melbourne to Sydney to Kuala Lumpur to Veinna to Stockholm to Lulea. Yea a day and a half later i’m here in Sweden trying to stay awake so I don’t wake up at 4am (that would equal noon in Australia). So here I am and apparently i’m suspost too teach a class Wednesday Thursday and Friday to the kids I’m competing against. Isn’t that a bit of an irony yes I think so myself. But don’t worry i’m not complaining I love helping people and making people happy so with some luck a dozen kids will get a push in the right direction and if all goes well I might bring this to the states. What do you think?
Back to the crusty tour: yes it started a few weeks ago with the first two stops being in Tasmania. What a beautiful place cool trees and animals. (See the pictures) but the people were kind of weird not all the people but quite a few just seemed a bit inbred. Good news though they got way better as we went north on the island, Launceston was a rad place with one of the best bars I have ever been to the Saloon bar (http://www.saloon.com.au/) Steve the owner took luke, john, adam, Chris and I to play golf at one of the 50 top courses in the world. It’s kind of cool to say that. Then the next day Luke and I went to Richardson’s Harley Davidson and barrowed two bikes and ripped up the tazy country side. The show came and we had a great crowd everything went well the after party was popin you know me I had to get behind the bar and serve up some drink and I didn’t even get thrown out. Well that’s how it happens with me and ill let you know next week how things go up here.
Also I want to say thank you to all the people who have been supporting my mom and my family through this very rough time especially Stephanie for giving her love and care it seems like there is no end to it and for that ill be indebted to you forever. And for those of you that don’t know my mom has been living with cancer or cancers. It started off with one last year and now she just got diagnosed with her 5th type so its breast, bone, blood, liver, and brain. Thank you again to everybody it really means the world to me and my family.

METRODOME -- Posted by jimmyblaze on Monday, January 23 2006
This last week end jimmy preformed in front of 20000 people during the freestyle motorcross show in the Metrodome. Jimmy rode his Yamaha Nytro and did some huge tricks, then sat back and watched Jim McNeal win the nights competition. Then Jimmy came back out and blew away the crowd with a 73 foot flip. Keep posted the pictures will be up in a few days.

Start of the season -- Posted by jimmyblaze on Sunday, January 15 2006
Back on the road again so last week I drove down from Alaska again made it to mountain machines I made it in 2 days and 4 hours almost a new record I was only faster last fall when I did the drive with Jason so personal best who hoo. Then all last week I was testing for Yamaha man their sleds are sweet and sorry to everybody that thought I was going to be riding the new chassis at Eagle River the mix up was that Jesse strege was racing a version of the nytro. So the official release date of the new sleds is in middle of February but there will be some select shows that it will appear at sooner. But I don’t know what ones yet. Well my first show of the New Year was at Eagle River WI WOW those oval racers are crazy that is so dangerous and fast. Yamaha won the prostock title and I think they haven’t been on the podium in years so it was sweet I make a flip on my nytros man these sleds are so powerful and it just makes my job easy, well easy as it can be flipping a 500 pound sled over your head. Well then pack the ramp and make it down to Canterbury for the wpsa snocross on Sunday the show went well as it could we had the super kicker back at 65 feet and I think it makes it easier and the tricks look better also I have been making the landings smaller and that make the whole thing more impressive this was just something I was never able to do with the 2 stroke sleds they just don’t have the low end torque that the 4 strokes have alls well in my world im in Minneapolis right now and im trying to decide if I want to go practice/test with Yamaha or go find some powder and start filming I might go out west cause Yamaha just gave me a 162 2.5 paddle mountain vector super charged 220hp. Man im so happy these are the choices I have to make thanks to everybody who have helped this last month it has been crazy with Australia India Washington Alaska Wisconsin and Minnesota thanks again jimmy “Blaze” Fejes

OUTBACK ASSAULT TOUR WRAP -- Posted by jimmyblaze on Monday, January 9 2006
The Crusty Demons first Outback tour anywhere in the world was by all standards an awesome success story. Almost 60,000 fans in 7 towns came to witness the Crusty carnage first hand.

The tour began in Darwin where the riders were given a civic reception at the N.T Government House, hosted by the minister of sport. 11,000 people crammed into Marrara Oval to see the first ever Crusty show outside a capital city.

On the Friday before the show Robbie Maddison crashed badly in practice and went to hospital in an ambulance. Robbie knocked out both his front teeth, fractured a bone in his back and removed big chunks of skin from his chest, arms and back.

Robbie missed the Darwin show but was back for Alice Spring on October 21 st . On the way to Alice the boys had a day in Katherine and Tenant Creek where they went to autograph signings for hundreds of pumped locals.

Despite a massive downpour 2 hours before the show, the Alice show went off well, apart from a scary near miss from snow mobile star, Jimmy Blaze.

Blaze forgot to do his helmet up after his interview and half way round his backflip, it came off, leaving him upside down, ramp to ramp with a 400kg snow mobile above him and no helmet. Jimmy over jumped but managed to get half his sled on the ramp and rode out of it.

It was in this show that Bilko created his own piece of history by pulling the first ever knack to heel clicker combo backflip performed in Australia .

Next stop was Whyalla , where another world first occurred, with Bilko and Matt Schubring pulling off the first ever side by side heel clicker backflips. Just on 10,000 people witnessed the show in Whyalla, the largest crowd ever to see a show in this town.

The circus then moved onto Mildura , the town which buys more Crusty DVD's per capita each year than anywhere else in the world.

Along the way the riders had their hands full with locals taking them out to get a taste of Outback Australia fun with roo shooting, pig hunting (Jimmy Blaze hunted pigs and wild dogs with a knife only), deep sea fishing, shark patting and trail riding all ticked off between Darwin and Mildura.

In Mildura our great commentator, ESPN's Steve ‘Lurch' Scott had a really bad trail riding accident where he broke 3 vertebrae in his back. Lurch was airlifted to hospital in Melbourne where he was in hospital for 2 weeks before being allowed to fly home to Chicago .

Albury was the next stop on the Outback Assault and it became the biggest show on tour with over 11,000 fans at Panthers Lavington. Luke Smith from the U.K joined the tour in Mildura after Robbie was forced into a recovery period from his injuries sustained in Darwin . Luke rode extremely well in the 3 shows he did and has gone back to NZ where he currently lives to get the 75ft flip down.

Almost 9,500 people saw the show in Dubbo and nearly 10,000 witnessed the final show in Coffs Harbour on November 26 th , despite the show being brought forward 2 hours because of bad weather.

The Aussie riders, Schuie, Maddo, Mini, Joel Balchin, Sincs and Bilko showed they are without doubt, up with the best riders in the world. Jake Bowen joined the tour for his hometown show in Coffs and pulled off his signature trick, the ruler, with huge extension.

Mad Mike, as always, was the ultimate showman and Seth, still recovering from a broken ankle, pulled a massive burnout in all shows and played a couple of songs on the guitar with 28 Days. Jon Guetter from Southern California pulled his quad backflip in every show and Jimmy Blaze from Alaska , somehow landed his snow mobile flip 7 from 7.

An awesome tour.
