Jackson “Jacko” Strong is set to return riding after the bad crash at Dubai X-Fighters.
 Jacko was rushed to Dubai’s Rashid Hospital where he spent a week being treated for a punctured lung before doctors cleared him to fly home to Wagga Wagga, Australia.

 Over the past month, Jacko has had to do nothing but rest, which is not easy for someone like Jacko to do.

It was a costly mistake, on an earlier jump, while doing a side-saddle lander I knocked the gear leaver into first gear. I was preparing to the same jump and thought I had knocked it into first again. I clicked what I thought was second but was actually third and I didn’t realize I was in third gear until I was in the air and it was too late. I hit the ground hard and that scored me a free ride in a helicopter around Dubai. I punctured one of my lungs and badly bruised my foot which has kept me off my feet for the past few weeks. Once I’m back on the bike my sole focus will be learning front-flip variations in my foam pit in preparation for X-Games. I have done a lot of front-flips to dirt at home so now it is time to expand the trick.

We put together this short video to give you a good idea of how Jacko throws down some huge front flips and can go big trick for trick!

Over the weekend Metal Mulisha head out to Glen Helen CA, for the Round 5 & 6 of the Lucas Oil Offroad Racing Series. From our Friday Practice and Qualifying post and a promising update for the Mulisha Fans, Saturday and Sunday held a weekend tribute in remembrance of Jeff Ox Kargola.

Jeff Ox Kargola

Ox was a serious competitor and athlete on both two wheels and four, and he took his first Lucas Oil Off Road Series victory in the Super Lite category just this season, back in Round 2 at Firebird along side his teammates Deegan & Bean. OX Ox, along with teammate Colton Udall, also took the overall motorcycle victory at the prestigious SCORE San Felipe 250 desert race back in March, and looked to have a long and bright future in motorsports. Sadly, Ox passed away after a crash in the Rip to the Tip motorcycle ride last month, and today, the crowd was filled with shirts honoring his memory.
Chaplain Steve Hanson, Cameron Steele, and General Tire’s Dana Zamalloa all come to the podium to pay their respects and help the crowd remember the wonderful life of this young man, with Zamalloa presenting Steele with the special watch Ox would’ve been given by General Tire, the highest award given by General Tire, in honor of his wins. A short film was then shown to the entire audience, commemorating Ox’s life, after which the crowd chanted in unison, “we love you Ox!” Ox’s smiling face and tremendous competitive spirit will be sorely missed by everyone; ride in peace Ox!

OX White Doves

Shortly after the emotional and amazing tribute for Ox, the it was time to fire up the engines and get the Super Lites staged and ready to go for the kick off of round 5. Metal Mulisha teammate and close life long friend to Ox, Trigger Gumm was taking it to the track in memory of Ox.

Trigger

Both Saturday and Sunday Trigger went out there and tore up some laps roosting dirt and clearing sections with some serious speed for all the LOORRS Glen Helen fans.

Deegan & Cameron Steele

Cameron Steele and Chris Brandt started at the head of the field on sunday’s Pro Lite Unlimited race. Close behind came Rodrigo Ampudia with Deegan having everyone in his sights. Deegan right off the line, smoked everyone and moved up to third on lap two. Ampudia, and LeDuc were all hounding Steele for second place, and Deegan finally got by to take over second spot.

Cameron & Deegan

Ampudia and LeDuc also got by on the following lap, and on the lap after that, with the competition yellow less than a lap away, Jacob Person put Steele down to sixth as he moved his Pro Lite up to fifth. Before he could get to the competition yellow, Steele pulled into the hot pits, and though he was able to re-join with what appeared to be a new left rear tire, he had been dropped to the back of the pack. Up front, Deegan was now really putting the pressure on Brandt, and on the following lap, he pushed Brandt wide to take the lead in turn four.

Deegan

Brandt and LeDuc were really battling now, and after LeDuc just touched Brandt on the backside as the two pounded through the rhythm section, it took an incredible save by Brandt to avert what would’ve been a nasty rollover. This gave Deegan a nice comfortable pocket and he gunned the Mulisha Pro Lite to the finish taking 1st place! NICE WORK DEEGAN!

Deegan

After the race Deegan cooled off in the hot pits next to his 900HP Pro 2 Unlimited #38 Rockstar/Makita Ford alongside Carl Renezeder on the front row.

Deegan Pro2

Rolling past the finish line and taking it to full throttle Deegan ran one-two at the end of lap one, followed by Rodrigo Ampudia, Robby Woods, Greg and Adler.

Deegan

On the restart lap, Rob MacCachren made his bid for a top five spot, having spun himself out in the early going, which forced him back to last place. MacCachren dove down the inside of Deegan and forced him wide at turn two, which helped Deegan bump side to side with Woods.

Deegan

As those two collected, a pile-up ensued as several other drivers were caught up in their collision. Deegan pulled out of the “mess” and put the heat back on the track. He seriously light up the track moving quick, pounding his truck threw the woops. He charge through the pack and managed to pull it all the way back into forth.

Deegan

Deegan had one hell of a Pro 2 race and the upcoming race at Miller Motorsports Park Utah is going to be a full out war.

Hailie Deegan wasn’t the only Deegan out in the dirt this weekend. Hailie had some solid lines and moved into some advancing positions.

Along side Hailie was Brooke Kawell, and known for running fast times. Both these Mini Troops are advancing in the series and have nothing but assurance that they will smoking half the boys again this year! Hailie and Brooke put up a solid race in there Kart’s and is is ready for more action for the next race in Utah.

In the Pro Buggy Unlimited’s Justin “Bean” Smith went to war on the track in the name of Metal Mulisha. Bean was having some issues with his ride on Saturday but Sunday was D-Day and Bean had insane battle. Bean was in the #19 Metal Mulisha/Competitive Metals AlumiCraft buggy up against Porter on lap two, and after Holmes was a little slow out of turn two, Bean also got by to pick up fourth spot on lap four.

Bean then had a great run through the rhythm section on the next lap, and he used his momentum to close down on Porter and make the pass in turn three. At the white flag, it was Whelchel, Bean, Holmes, Davis, and Bailey in the top five, with Davis having just lost his right rear tire. Bean launched pass the finish and finished up on the podium in 2nd place. Nice work Bean!

La Jolla Group CEO Toby Bost fired up his Limited Buggy in the middle of the pack along side with Curt Geer, Geoffrey Cooley, Fitzgerald fourth, and Zac Hunt fifth.

Tucker got his #377 General Tire/Kar Tek buggy up to second on lap two, while up ahead, Geer had already opened a small cushion over those behind. Bost held it together and battle his way up through the race and really put his Limited Buggy to the test. He got caught up in a corner and pushed his way back up into the pack finishing the race in 11th.

The next race for Bost will be at Miller Motorsports Park, Utah which is a favored track of his so get ready to see Bost push his way up to the podium.

Metal Mulisha has been creating some of the most quality and recognizable glasses in the world. At the Compound we produce high-end eyewear and googles from scratch, creating a perfect style, craftsmanship and function. Each piece is crafted from the finest materials and to standards of excellence in the optical industry. All of our frames are composed of top grade crafted material.

the Admirals

This month we are getting Behind the Design with the new Metal Mulisha sunglasses, the Admiral. We really wanted to make a set of glasses that has the functionality that everyone has always wanted. The Admiral has a light weight frame with a large wrap of Grilamid material. To give range or appearance to our fans and athletes we have two different colors that consist of a Matte Black & Glossy Black.

The Admiral

The first step is done all on paper just like in art class, coming up with a creative design that we feel will fit our athletes, and fans style. From the final draft on paper, our design is then drafted on a computer creating the three dimensional layout before we send it out to the warehouse to create the plastic mold to create a demo model of the product.

the Admirals

After some small changes, modifications and fitting the hinges, the mold is send out for a review by the Metal Mulisha team. The final call comes from Deegan and Linkogle and once the “ok” is said we mail out the mold to the factory to get the final product.

Brian Deegan - photo:shaneruiz

Metal Mulisha is set up and ready to go for this weekends race at the Glen Helen Raceway for another round of the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series. Last year Glen Helen was a sold out event and spectators poured in and out of the pits to see the Mulisha set up and hang out with the team. This weekend’s racing will mark rounds five and six of the series and our set up this year is sick. We cruised out this morning to film Brian Deegan, Hailiy Deegan, Justin “Bean” Smith, Cameron Steele & Toby Bost practice and qualify on the track.

Brian has put a lot of time practicing in his Pro2 getting ready for this season. Today Deegan practiced and qualified against top names in the offroad motorsports community such as Rodrigo Ampudia, Rob Maccachren, Robby Woods, Robby Gordon, and many more. Brian pushed his #38 Ford Pro2 LOORRS offroad truck to it’s limits making each turn and section perfect and he pulled off the best track time @ 46.282 landing a first place qualification time! Congrats Brian!

Metal Mulisha, General Tire and the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series have dedicated Saturday’s event to Jeff “Ox” Kargola, who recently lost his life after a motorcycle crash in Mexico. OX was one of the rising stars of the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series after achieving fame as a freestyle motocross competitor and personality. He will be deeply missed.

Head to the Metal Mulisha pits after Brian’s Lucas Oil Off Road Series Pro 2 Races at 4:30 PM on Saturday and Sunday for the chance to bid on signed fiberglass parts and other race-day memorabilia.

All proceeds will be given to The Loma Linda Children’s Hospital in Loma Linda, Calif. The Loma Linda Children’s Hospital serves a population of 1.2 million children in Southern California and is also a major pediatric teaching facility for Loma Linda University School of Medicine, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, and other health professionals.
