Our friend Pfc. Garret Casados is in the U.S. Army and stationed in Iraq. Garret sent us these pics of him rocking the Lusk Wrist Band and stickers on his Hummer in Iraq, and sent this write-up about Lusk and what he meant to him. I know Lusk would be proud that his legacy has even touched the Troops who protect our country who Lusk respected so much.
Well about me. I was born and raised in Riverside CA. I used to do a little bit of FMX, actually was decent at it but not good enough for contests. Motocross is basically my life, I follow SX, MX and FMX constantly as much as I can. I joined the Army in April of 2008 and I’ve been in Iraq for eight months now, in the city of Basrah in Southern Iraq. My unit is supposed to be home by September first. Then I’ll get to take leave back to California before I have to report back to Ft. Carson, Colorado.
I actually met Lusk years ago when he was on a clapped out Honda at the old LBZ compound. He was riding with Billy Walls and Bobby Lee. He didn’t look too bad out there, he was just getting into FMX. He had the most amazing year last year it was awesome to see him work that hard and it pay off. His style was so smooth and reminded me of Stenberg.
I go on freestylemtx.com as much as I can out here and that is when I heard about the crash. So I followed it everyday on the messages board hoping he would pull through. Then the day came when it was announced he died, I was in complete shock, this never happens, they always pull through, it took me awhile for it to actually hit me. I’ve followed his career from day one just about. It was like losing someone here. So as soon as I heard they made wrist bands I had my mother order ten of them. She mailed five here just to make sure it made it and some stickers came. I’ve worn this band since I got it. It has never been taken off and won’t be. If I get through this deployment you bet your ass I’m going to wear it next deployment. It’s a good luck band in my eyes and a tribute to someone who has touched so many lives through this crazy world. My wish’s go to his family and friends and anyone who he has touched. Jeremy will never be forgotten. RIP Jeremy Lusk

The Lusk Legacy Foundation Gala & Poker Tournament was freeking awesome! Such a great turn out and just a cool deal all around.
All kinds of great photos and some video floating around from the event, so I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction to get your fix. If you know of other stuff leave a link in the comments.
ESPN is always on their game. Leyba with the pics and write up and Cliff with the vid…these dudes even disappeared from the party for hours to do “editing and posting” from their hotel room! Right.
Lutes also pulled through with the goods on Transworld MX!
Mulisha had the Twitter updates going for a while with blurry iPhone photos and even a few on the spot videos here and there.
Jake Ashcraft posted a cool write-up and some awesome photos as always. Tedesco was out of town so he’s on the shit list.

We have 2 of the BIGGEST contests everrrrr going on right now! Just the thought of winning such a contest is mind bottling due to the extreme awesomeness that could befall those who enter and possibly win. So don’t think. Just enter.
First up: we teamed up with Tilly’s to offer a Trip to Summer X Games or a trip to hang with the Mulisha at Deegan’s house for a day! We’re not really sure which one is better. I think they’re equally bad-ass! Sign up now!
Second, but possible even more awesome: the Metal Mulisha/ESP Guitars Contest! Alliances with ESP Guitars, Transworld Motocross, Rockstar and etnies will make the swag pack almost as cool as the Grand Prize Trip to X Games and a 2008 Honda CRF250! That’s right, a trip to X Games, a Honda CRF250 and a custom Mulisha ESP Guitar! Enter now!
PS. This is not an April Fools. This is the real deal.
