We just got some photos in of yesterday’s practice from Tedesco. The course is a little one directional, but the guys kinda like it anyway. Everyone is feeling good and ready for the big show. Check out the first X Games Photo Gallery for now, but check back tonight for coverage from Best Trick and Best Whip.
Check out both events LIVE tonight on ESPN and ESPN2. 9PM-11PM EST – ESPN – Best Trick
Midnight-1AM EST – ESPN2 – Best Whip
Subtract 3 hours for Pacific time…
We caught up with Hanny while burning some laps at the Honda track with McGrath last week in preparation for X Games this weekend. Hansen is an alternate for Moto X Racing, but he’s training for it in case he gets in so he can smoke some fools!
Holy shit X Games is here again! Looks like it’s that time of year again for more Mulisha World Domination! Seems like just last week the Mulisha was dominatingX Games13.

Fluffer just sent in some new photos from the tour. Adam from Machine Head is rockin’ Mulisha hard. Adam is really into sky diving and goes jumping at pretty much every tour stop before the show! He’s going to take Fluff, Garland and Wes up for their first jumps pretty soon.
And check out Sid from Slipknot in a wheel chair with broken heels jamming on the tables!
Photographer Jeremy Rohl just emailed us a ton of sick shots from the St. Louis stop yesterday…check those out in the photo gallery!
The Mulisha has been on the Rockstar Mayhem Fest for the past couple weeks partyin’ like rockstars, with rockstars! Check the photo gallery for a ton of pics from the Glen Helen stop as well as photos that Fluffer and Garland have been sending in from the road.
If you haven’t made it out to one of these then check the schedule and make it happen…it’s sick!
Check out the latest issue of ESPN The Mag (with Sheckler on the cover) for a cool feature on Brian Deegan and the Metal Mulisha. Writer Chris Palmer was hanging around for a couple weeks to get a good feel for what we’re all about and wrote a killer story, which you can read now on the ESPN Mag site.
Metal Mulisha’s MMA rockstar Renato Babalu Sobral went up against Mike Whitehead over the weekend in the inaugural Affliction Banned event. Babalu dominated every round! Although he would have liked to get a KO or submission, the fight went to a decision and Babalu won unanimously! Congrats Babalu!
