Fleshworx / FullyTapped

Jono Porter R.I.P. 2002 Zero Gravity, Jono whipin it with style.. It took a long time to get to know J.P. even though we where filming at a fair few events that he rode at. I put this down to us coming from completely different back grounds but after a couple of years and us still there filming we did start to talk more about our films and being able to go film with him for them. Life delt a bad card and Jono passed before we had a chance to make this happen. I soul taken way to early. I right this with respect for him, his family and friends and its an honour to at least share an unseen photo with everyone. (there will be a few more as the story continues) .. Life though the eyes of a nobody...

Summer 2000. Here's some never before seen photo's from the day we shot the cover of "Dial Triple Zero #1" Josh Maley riding off into the river.. The day all come together really well. The boats, limo, girls and the fact we hadn't asked permission to launch a dirt bike into the Swan river, so the fine would have been something like $10k if we got questioned and charged. The cops pulled up just as we where about to start filming, I went and hid and sent Trev over to deal with it hahaha, they asked what was happening and Trev just said it was a film shoot and they left. Good work Trog.. The rest of the day was a bunch of fun. The picture of Josh over the boat was in fact going to be the original cover of the film. LBZ and BLACK FLYS hooked all the girls up with clothing and sunnies, SMP was a big supporter back in the day as well. Good times all round.

Back in the original days of Fleshworx.. We used to book out venues and have crazy fu**ed up parties, all in the name of fun... fire breathing, body suspensions, bands, you know everyday stuff hahaha... this was an add for one of those "get together's" at the Flag in Fremantle, good times.. We have the footage from this night and it was supposed to be in "Dial Triple Zero #2" the original un-cut R rated film but as I said we changed the direction at the last minute. Maybe I should re-cut a version just for fun... One day maybe..
2000 was a turning point with film, the creation of our new company and new direction.. we lost the baggage and started to forge our path forward. My buddy Steve was our front man when it came to body suspension. I'd done a few suspensions myself but Steve was the guy that just took it all the way - 100%.. hardcore as f**k!! this is the real deal, the history of Fleshworx / Fullytapped - life through the eyes of a no body....

All right all you punk ass'd FMX dirt bike riders and fans out there... The Kalgoorile shot of Urek was a hit so after some digging and scanning I've come across the rest of the pics from the batch. Very cool to see these boys all riding together and it shows a great selection of riders at the time from all over the county. 3 or 4 states represented and a great mix of styles.. well worth a quick flick and please share as much as you want... spread the Aussie FMX history cause no one else has these pics and they have never been seen before...
Fleshworx / FullyTapped stay tuned.. YEW
