The Metal Mulisha took over the NASCAR pits at the Auto Club Speedway to help raise money for the Lusk family over the weekend. All the proceeds from that day went to support the Lusk Legacy Foundation (the new name). Fitz, Garland, Wes and Taka lit up the pavement for a packed house with a sick FMX demo. The guys didn’t hold back with their tricks despite having limited practice prior to the event.
Taka was throwing huge Codrova and Indian Air Flips. Wes laid down his insane Turn Down Whips along with Garland and Fitz’s stretched No Handed Flips. It didn’t end there as all four put on a gnarly train of whips, flips, and solid tricks. The crowd was going nuts! Between shows Deegan, Fitz, Garland, Taka, Wes, and Scummy signed autographs for the fans. Once the riding was over, Deegan and the rest of the Mulisha met with the lucky winners of the VIP Suite auction to hang out and take pictures. Everyone had a killer time and the event raised a lot of money for the Lusk Legacy Foundation. Thanks to all that made it out!
Check out the Metal Mulisha NASCAR Photo Gallery for more pics!

For those not attending, we hope you understand and will instead join us to remember Jeremy via the LIVE Webcast of the funeral service at revival.tv starting at 1:00PM this Monday, February 16.
Brian Alexander, Dave Dawes and the guys at Fuel TV put together this awesome tribute video of Jeremy Lusk for the Boost Mobile Weekly Update. Good stuff.
A version of this video will be playing during opening ceremonies tonight at the San Diego Supercross in front of Jeremy’s home town. Also, if you’re at the races, stop by the Ogio or Rockstar pits and get your Lusk stickers and wrist bands with a donation! If you don’t have a pit pass you can bring a Rockstar or Monster can to the entrance and get in Free. See ya there.

***UPDATE*** Due to overwhelming response from the community, we need to ask that the funeral service be limited to friends, family, and industry people. The church simply cannot hold the amount of people who have responded to the public invite and we apologize for having to limit the attendance. Please accept our sincerest apologies, and we thank you for your understanding. M/M
Check out the Remembering Jeremy Lusk Photo Gallery and you will notice a new “UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS OF JEREMY” button at the top of the page. Click it and you can upload your own photos and share your memories of Jeremy.
Jeremy has traveled the world doing what he loves, and he reached a lot of people along the way. We think this would be a good way to give everyone a chance to show that and share with the world.
Here are a few photos people have already shared:
Jeff “OX” Kargola uploaded this pic of Twitch, Garland, Potter, Ox and Lusk at a Boost Mobile demo not so long ago.

My wife and I had the priveledge of metting Jeremy and Brian at Anaheim 1. Class act
We want Jeremy to be remembered as the hardcore warrior that he was. He was never one to back down from any challenge life had to offer him–on or off the track. As a fierce competitor, he rode to the top of the freestyle world, embracing the risks of the sport with hardcore passion. As a Christian, Jeremy had faith that no matter what he would always be on the ride of his life. To Jeremy, there was never a question of there being any consequences, especially doing something he loved. His drive, love, passion and commitment drove him to become the “baddest ass” rider of his time. He and his wife Lauren will always be part of the Mulisha family, and his memory will continue to push our group of friends to the outer limits of life.
From Metal Mulisha founder, teammate and best friend, Brian Deegan:
Jeremy motivated me to be a better person, he was my best friend. The bond of this team is one that will never be broken. We know Jeremy is looking down from a great place, continuing to move mountains and touch the lives of those above. One day, we will all be reunited and will ride together again. In the end, all dust turns to ash. Metal Mulisha will continue to live and die by that creed. Jeremy, we can’t wait to see you.
From fellow Mulisha teammate and close friend, Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg:
Well, I was hoping I wouldn’t ever have to say this, but last night I lost one of my closest friends. I’m at a loss for words. I still feel like I’m in a bad dream and I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and go ride with Jeremy. I just can’t believe he’s gone. I feel for his wife and family. Were gonna miss u big worm! We’re gonna carry on for you like you would for us. We will always be brothers and I will keep your memory alive forever…
From Rick Alessandri, Senior Vice President, X Games Franchise:
The ESPN family is very saddened by the death of Moto X competitor, Jeremy Lusk. Jeremy was a gifted athlete and an innovator. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jeremy’s wife, Lauren, his parents Gina and Chuck and to the entire Lusk family.
From Chris Stiepock, Vice President and General Manager, X Games Franchise:
Jeremy Lusk had emerged as one of the world’s best freestyle moto riders as proven at last year’s X Games. He was a tremendous athlete and competitor and represented the sport of freestyle motocross very well. I join Rick Alessandri and everyone at EXPN in extending our condolences to the many who knew and loved him.
From Toby Bost, Chief Executive Officer, La Jolla Group:
This is a tremendous loss for the entire motocross community and all of action sports. The Metal Mulisha team is very saddened by the loss of our friend and family member, Jeremy Lusk. He lived life to the fullest with an immense spirit and passion for the sport, and will always be known as a warrior. Our hearts pour out to his wife Lauren, his mother Gina, and his father Chuck. We know Jeremy is in a very good place and will always be a part of the Mulisha family.

A lot of the Metal Mulisha team will be on hand, and Jay Schweitzer is working through the night putting together footage for a Lusk tribute. It’ll be a cool event. Be there. Click for directions.
Metal Mulisha is getting some Limited Edition 16″x20″ art quality watercolor paper prints made that will be signed by some of the team. These will be for sale in the Metal Mulisha Online Store later this week. When they’re gone, they’re all gone. It goes without saying that all proceeds from the prints go to The Jeremy Lusk Trust Fund.
Photos:
Now that the web site is back up and running, we started a Remembering Jeremy Lusk Photo Gallery. For now it’s photos that Metal Mulisha photographers Chris Tedesco and Ryan Cropley have acquired over the years of traveling, photo shoots and just hanging out with Jeremy. Get in there, click around, and remember the good times.
In the next day or so we’re planning to roll out a new feature for the photo gallery for fans, friends, family, or anyone, can upload their of photos of Jeremy. He’s touched so many people around the world, we look forward to seeing and hearing from those who were fortunate enough to meet him. More info on that soon.
Funeral arrangements will be in the Murrieta/Menifee area; final arrangements are pending.
Please keep the warm thoughts, comments and prayers coming…they’re very much appreciated. God bless.
