Transworld hit up Todd Potter and James Stewart at the Corona Sports Group event. Check out Potter and Bubba in “Ask Me A Question“.

Not only is the Metal Mulisha going to be hitting ramp-to-ramp at NASCAR with the Rockstar Metal Mulisha FMX team but Deegan, has signed on with NTS Motorsports for some NASCAR racing and has plans to take the Cup Series!

Racing is something I’ve done since I was a little kid,” Deegan said in a news conference Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. “Freestyle motocross has gotten me away from racing and I missed it. I feel like the motocross background, like Jimmie Johnson has, is going to help me.” Deegan will begin his NASCAR career in June at Irwindale Speedway in the Super Late Model race. He will remain in late models with a goal of moving up to the Camping World West Series by the Phoenix race in November.
After that, the timetables are off and it comes down to comfort level.

“My goal is to do everything right,” Deegan said. “The goal is to take it at my pace.”

Jimmy Fitzpatrick has his mind set on one thing for the next couple months… a shiny X Games gold medal. Fitz has been training day in and out preparing for this event! Fitz will not only be throwing down some sick combos, but will be rotating the front flip! Check out this video from ESPN FMX when they went down to the Mulisha Compound.

Last weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Metal Mulisha took on the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series by storm! Deegan, Twitch, Cameron Steele, Justin Smith and Hailie Deegan all battled it out for a spot on the podium.

Saturday, Twitch was pushing his #88 truck to its limits! Twitch was pushed up on the wall by some squid, did a basic speed racer maneuver, pulled it off, and finish 3rd! Sunday, the domination began! Twitch and his truck kicked everyone’s ass as he lead the whole race roosting the others as they tried to catch up. Brian followed Twitch’s footsteps during his class race as they both podiumed for a 1st place win! Check out the full photo-gallery and make sure to watch this bad ass video!

Jacko Strong pulled off the front flip ramp-to-ramp on the Crusty Demons Tour! Jacko made three previous unsuccessful attempts on the tour, but saved his best for last in front of more than 6,500 crazy Australian freestyle motocross fans!

Jacko said, “I was a lot more relaxed knowing it was the last show of the tour and the support from the Cairns crowd was fantastic, this time I was using thinner resi-mats and had moved the ramps to the full 85 feet. Now I just can’t wait now to do it at the X Games.”

CONGRATS JACKO!!!!!!

Metal Mulisha rolled in deep to Las Vegas Motor Speedway with the whole crew ready to race in this weekend at the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.

The Surfrat cruised out and met up with us in our pits and hooked up a live broadcast from justin.tv on the Super Lite Live channel.

Mark “The Bear” Smith
RIP: December 24th, 1973 – May 14th, 2010

Mulisha family member Mark Smith, passed away Friday May 14th, 2010, at his home in Maui, Wailuku, Hawaii. Mark started training in 1996 at Beverly Hills Ju-Jitsu, and received his Purple Belt from Sensei Marcus Vinicius. The Bear trained with Bas Ruten in 1999, which led him to hold the UAGF Heavyweight Belt and also hold the UK Cagewars Heavyweight. Since moving to Hawaii Mark put together a team of top fighters on the islands who call themselves the Maui Mulisha.

Mark became a close friend, MMA Trainer and bodyguard of Brian Deegan in 1996. After training with Deegan, Jeremy Lusk, Ronnie Faisst and other Mulisha Members, The Bear, became a part of the Mulisha Family.

Mark said, “My quest in life is to be the best I can be if its fighting, coaching, body guarding or just giving back all the knowledge I’ve picked up throughout all my years of experience in life! Being true to your family and friends and not being a poser or fall over, but trying to be a lender is what I truly believe is a must in life!”

The Bear continued to train and coach his friends on the Mulisha team as he also changed his life on July 3rd 2008. Mark was saved and devoted his life to god with the help of his new Pastor and good friend TJ. Mark said, “It was a great feeling, it was like a million pounds of bullshit just fell off my back.”

Deegan said “Mark Smith was one of my best friends. I had so many good times with his like when he trained me to win the LA sx. One of a few guys who really made me laugh and always looked out for everyone! Ill miss him. My prayers to his family and friends. I was with Mark when he got saved so ill see him in Heaven…RIP ”

After visiting Mark’s MySpace page we have one of Mark’s last quotes from his Heroes Section: “The big man upstairs “GOD”, My MOM, And my sister Tammy always look down at me from Heaven, “I sure miss her”!!! Jeremy Lusk Word is Bond my little Brother!! Even that I was older than you your words meant so much 2 me!!!!! I miss u Lusk hold it down up there In Gods Hands!!!!!”

This tragedy and loss will never be forgotten. Mark will always be in our hearts now and forever. RIP BEAR watch over the rest of us as you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Here is a video of The Bear training up Deegan and Lusk .
