Wil Hahn rode to an impressive 4th place finish this past weekend at the 10th round of the 2010 Lucas Oil Motocross Nationals in Southwick, MA.
The deep Southwick sand wasn’t enough to slow down Hahn’s Red Bull/Troy Lee Designs Honda from rocketing him to the front of the pack in both moto’s.
Hahn lead early in moto 1 before being passed by Trey Canard and Tyla Rattray and settled into third place where he would finish. Hahn finished 5th in moto 2 giving 36-total points on the day good enough for 4th place, just 1 point shy of 3rd. Hahn will be on the gas next weekend in Steel City looking to put Metal Mulisha on the podium.
Josh Grant had some misfortune in the first practice session where he was seen being carted off holding his right shoulder and was unable to race. Be sure to make some of these photos your wallpapers! Check out our gallery of wallpapers and download them for free!
Wes Agee recently had surgery to repair a torn ACL and Meniscus in his left knee. Wes is doing great considering his ACL was completely torn and missing.
He couldn’t have damaged his ACL any worse. The surgeon had to take a piece of Wes Agee’s hamstring to create the new ACL for his left knee. Right now Wes is stuck on the couch resting from his surgery but he should be up crutching around in no time. Everyone here at Metal Mulisha wishes you a speedy and full recovery, Wes. You are a badass!
Wes’s Top 5 ways to pass the recovery time (in no particular order)-
1. Watch movies and TV
2. Play MX vs ATV Reflex on XBox360
3. Get his off-road truck completed
4. RC Cars
5. Workout to stay in shape
Post your “Get Well” messages to Wes below to help keep him motivated during his recovery process.
Taka has been hard at work putting the finishing touches on his tricks for X Games FMX and Best Trick. As it currently stands Taka is first alternate for Best Trick and as filled in for Jimmy FItzpatrick due to his injury last week at the MM Compound.
Taka is ready to go with the Double Grab Flip and something else he is keeping secret till the contest. Look for Taka to be a serious contender for a medal at X and be sure to cheer him on along with the rest of the Mulisha members in LA next week.
Taka also just received his new Shoei Helmet painted by High Jumper in Japan. The design is sick and Taka made sure to pay tribute to Lusk on his new lid. The new green MSR Mulisha gearTaka is wearing goes great with the new helmet.
Daniel Sani is back in town after spending time up north racing the Mammoth Motocross race, where he finished 6th. Sani has been working on learning some tricks in his down time, and pulled off a pretty good Cliff Hanger today. Not bad at all for a racer.
Deegan had his arsenal of off-road toys out for a cleaning. Which one would you drive if you were given the opportunity?
The 4th round of the Lucas Oil Motocross Nationals stormed into Budds Creek, Maryland on a sunny and extremely humid weekend. The Budds Creek facility is one of the best on the tour offering riders constant elevation changes with big jumps and rough terrain for the ultimate motocross experience.
The preparation and training Josh Grant and Wil Hahn put in during the week paid off as both were up front all day. Josh and Wil embraced the humidity and challenging track conditions, and rode to their best finishes yet of the series.
In fact, Wil and Josh both scored 38 points by finishing 5-4 in their respective classes but ended up with different over-all finishes. In the 450 class, Josh Grant’s 5-4 earned him 4th over-all, while Wil Hahn’s 5-4 put him in 5th over-all.
Josh and Wil made great progress this past weekend and will be ready to do battle in Lakewood, CO this weekend. Be sure to attend the Lakewood National wearing your latest Mulisha threads and cheer on Josh and Wil as they fight to put Metal Mulisha on the podium.
Congratulations to Wil Hahn for his second place over-all finish in the 2010 Lites West Supercross series.
Hahn was able to secure a second-place ranking by finishing 3rd in Salt Lake City, despite suffering a separated AC joint just 2 days prior to the race. It took real guts and determination to ride through the pain on an extremely slick race track in the rain, and at times even snow.
This truly was a break out year for the Hahn, who finished on the podium in 5 out of 8 races, and never finished outside of the top 5. Look for Wil to bring this momentum to East/West SX shootout in Las Vegas next weekend, and Hangtown, CA, where the Motocross nationals kick-off on May 22nd.

Our amazing fans in Puerto Rico were given the complete Mulisha experience in San Juan this past weekend. Ox, Wes, Nixey, and Fluffer made the trip from LA to San Juan on a red eye flight to ride in the FMX Psycho Tour. Aside from riding the event, the guys gave back to some of the best Mulisha fans on the planet.
Three autograph signings were scheduled and each one was packed to the max with fans. Everyone went home with a sick poster signed by all the riders, and photos with the group. Ox, Wes, Nixey, and Fluffer all had a killer time interacting with the die-hard Puerto Rican Mulisha fans. Puerto Rico sure knows how to stay in style, because everyone was wearing the latest Mulisha threads.
Ox, Wes, Nixey, Fluffer and the rest of the crew also made a special trip to the local San Juan hospital to meet with some extraordinary people. The guys spent time hanging out with the patients, signing autographs, and taking pictures. The visit brought smiles to everyone faces and brightened up their day.
During the downtime everyone kicked back at the Radisson Hotel on the beach. The hotel took extra good care of us and loved the Mulisha mayhem. Ox made sure to get in some early morning surf sessions, because the water was too good to pass up. The rest of the guys spent time getting thrashed body surfing in the ocean, or sipping Jack and Cokes by the pool. At night the crew was given VIP treatment around San Juan. We had a great time partying with everyone! The FMX Psycho Tour was packed to see Wes, Ox, Nixey, and Julian Dusseau throw down, along with double flipper, Scott Murray. San Juan made the guys feel right at home, with huge crowd support throughout the show. The fans were louder than the bikes! The crowd energy pumped up the guys to put on a bad ass show, featuring a Best Whip and Trick segment, along with a gnarly trick train.
After the show the riders signed autographs for two hours, letting the fans come down on the stadium floor and hang out. The mission to Puerto Rico was a huge success. Thank you to all the kick ass Mulisha fans we have in PR. The Mulisha will be back again soon to rock things even bigger and better! Make sure to check out our photo gallery from this bad ass trip!
Nuclear Cowboyz hit San Diego California this weekend and had a sold out stadium both days of the tour! Make sure you get a chance to check out some of the behind the scenes photos and check out our events page so you can make it to the next Nuclear Cowboyz tour stop!
Last Wednesday, marked the one year anniversary of the passing of our teammates and friend, Jeremy Lusk. The whole team arrived early at the Mulisha Compound to spend the day together and remember Lusk’s legacy. The guys couldn’t wait to ride, so they quickly geared up and went straight for the ramp. Everyone put in a solid session on the ramp, with a mix of flip combos to classic whips. Twitch was there riding his new Kawasaki KX450F freestyle bike. Yes, that is right, Twitch is now only riding 4-strokes.
The end of his 2-stroke era is over. Also joining Twitch in the 4-stroke movement is Todd Potter, Derek Garland, and Wes Agee, although they haven’t officially ditched their 2-strokes yet. With a gnarly riding session in the books, the Mulisha team geared down, and headed for lunch. Nothing like a hearty meal of burgers, grilled chicken, salad, and ice cold coronas to feed the hungry Mulisha team. After lunch, Deegan and Faisst spoke to everyone about the changes and effects that have taken place over this past year, followed by a group prayer for Jeremy. We then all wrote down a favorite memory of Jeremy on a piece of fabric to be sewn into a quilt for Lauren Lusk. The Mulisha team loaded into their cars, and headed to Jeremy’s resting place after a fun and heartfelt morning. We were there to support each other and remember the amazing life Jeremy shared with us.
Jeremy impacted some many different peoples lives in a positive way. He was a natural born leader that didn’t need to demand respect, because he was always given it. A toast to Jeremy was made with his drink of choice, Jack Daniel’s. You wouldn’t believe how quickly the giant handle of Jack was pounded. It was like he was there pounding it with us all. Jeremy wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. It was an amazing day spent together remembering one of the gnarliest men to ever swing their leg over a dirt bike. Jeremy Lusk, never forgotten!
Wil Hahn is having the best season yet of his young career. The rain storm that hit San Diego turned what would have been a fast paced course, into a slick and rutted battle ground, separating the men from the boys. Wil started the night off right by winning his Heat race, despite having a single 12-minute practice session just 1 hour prior to the race.
After a mid-pack start in the Main event, Wil kept his composure and immediately began working his way through the pack. Wil worked his way into third with one lap to go, where he would finish the race.
Wil has now been on the podium three out of five times, finishing no worse than fourth, and is currently ranked third in West Coast Lites points. Be sure to cheer on Wil this weekend in Anaheim!
