The long awaited road to recovery for Faisst and Wes is nearly complete! Just the other day, Faisst broke in his new Honda CRF450 and hit ramps for the first time. Faisst has been vigorously attending rehab and personal training to strengthen his leg after having surgery to remove screws from his femur.

Faisst ran through a list of his tricks, and they looked as solid as ever!

While documenting the sickest FMX footage to date at Jacko Strong’s Australian FMX Compound, Wes over jumped and hyper extended his ankle. Fortunately, nothing was broken but it did force Wes to spend time off his bike.

We spotted him practicing at Fitzland, and from the looks of it, Wes hasn’t lost a step. Look for Faisst and Wes to be 100% for the 2012 Nuclear Cowboyz Tour, starting January 13th in Baltimore, MD.

Taka, Wes and Hill have been teaming up and riding a lot together lately. The three have been making their rounds to all the FMX riding hot spots such as, the Mulisha Compound, Fitzland, and Faisst’s backyard. This has been paying off huge for them in the trick department.

Since they began riding together, Hill has quickly learned No-hander and Heel Clicker flips, and is already hard at work learning Super flips. Wes is feeling solid since returning from his knee surgery and has been stomping huge Indy, Cordova, and No-footed Can flips. Did we mention that he hasn’t even been cleared to ride yet?

Taka hasn’t let up a bit since the starting of the Nuclear Cowboyz tour, and has been riding and hitting the pit nearly everyday between tour stops working on his new trick the #$*&@… You didn’t really thing we were going to tell you what it is, did you? That is top secret classified information at this time.

For now, enjoy these recent photos of Taka, Wes and Hill going huge!

Freestyle Motocross was back in competition form in Salt Lake City for the fourth stop of the Alli Sports Dew Tour. This was the first time in nearly two years that there has been an actual competition instead of the demo format that was used throughout 2009. Needless to say, everyone was fired up and hungry to compete in front of a pack house in downtown Salt Lake City on a Saturday night.

The competition was a head-to-head format, with the winner moving onto the next round. Twitch and Faisst were pre-qualified for the event based off of 2008 point standings and a wild card spot. Twitch, Potter, Taka, and Adelberg all eliminated their opponent in the first round, allowing them to advance to the second round.

In round 2, Potter and Twitch did battle to see who would move onto the quarter finals. Both had solid runs with big flip combos, but Twitch just edged out Potter to advance on. Adelberg had a scary get off in his run when he hit neutral as he was approaching the dirt double out of the double double section.

He was unable to slow down in time and had to eject off of his bike. He was carted off with broken tibia and fibula in both legs, a heel, and ankle. Get well soon Adelberg.

The quarter finals featured a battle of master vs. student with Twitch going head-to-head with his good friend and import, Taka. Twitch put in a competitive run with a big flip whip, flip no hander, and a unique transfer line into the double doube section that no one was doing. It was a strong run, but just not enough to take down Taka, who right now is riding the best he ever has.

Faisst nearly had the same crash as Adelberg in his quarter final run, but luckily was able to carve the lip and stay on his bike to flat. These guys make it look easy out there but it sure isn’t!

Taka went up against Mike Mason in the finals to decide who would be crowned the Salt Lake City Dew Tour Champion. Taka had to go first since Mason was already prequalified. This didn’t phase him one bit and came out swinging. Taka unloaded an arsenal of flip combos, such as perfectly extended Cordova, Indian Air, and his X Games bronze-medal winning Double Grab Indian Air flip. Mason gave it his all with a run including a big Hart Attack Flip, huge flip whip, and stylish No-handed Superman, but it wouldn’t be enough to take down Taka.

Congratulations to Taka for winning the Salt Lake City Dew Tour.

In BMX Dirt Finals, Brandon Dosch rode to a second place finish behind Dennis Enarson while making up valuable points on series leader, Brett Banasiewicz. Dosch had three consistent runs filled with 360 tail whips, opposite 360’s, and shocked everyone by landing a Decade 360 off of the last set in his final run.

Brandon now sits just 30 points out of first place in the Dew Cup rankings with just one more stop to go. Way to go, Brandon!

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 gear Taka 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 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.

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!
