Friends, family, and the Metal Mulisha team all gathered at Pala Raceway yesterday for the 2nd Annual Jeremy Lusk Memorial Ride Day, honoring his life spent with all of us. The day included the team all hanging out and having a fun riding session at Pala Raceway to commemorate the day in which FMX lost a one of its greatest riders. Check out the video update and don’t forget to view some of our photos in our 2nd Annual Jeremy Lusk Memorial Ride Day photo gallery.
It has been three years today as we lost a friend so close to our hearts. February 9th every year marks the anniversary of Metal Mulisha family member, friend, and one of the greatest freestyle motocross riders that has ever lived, Jeremy Lusk.
Jeremy touched, motivated, and impressed everyone in a unique way while living in his short life of 24 years. He will always be missed and never forgotten.
Ronnie Faisst: “Man… I miss Lusk so much. I think about him all the time. Can’t wait until I see him again! Love you brotha”
Jimmy Fitzpatrick: “Lusk was a bad ass dude! He was one of a kind. I still think God had to take him from us, for bigger things up above. He was a warrior on this world, one of the nicest guys on the planet yet still someone you would never want to piss off. I have so many awesome memories of Jeremy. Tons of riding, traveling all over together, desert trips, double dates, couple fights here and there, you name it. We did it all together. I have and will continue to heavily miss him but do believe strongly that I will see him again! Love ya buddy”
Brian Deegan: “Always had fun with Lusk. He wasn’t scared to bust out skits like Dog the Bounty Hunter”
Derek Garland: “Jeremy Lusk was the most bad ass dude I ever met. I miss you buddy”
Justin Homan: “Cherish the vibes when we rode together in Dubai and putting it down at our MM Redmond events. True to the game….miss you”
To celebrate in his memory, the whole Metal Mulisha team will be gathering today at Pala Raceway to put in a team riding session, hangout and share memories of Jeremy Lusk. We will have a full 2nd Annual Jeremy Lusk Memorial Ride Day photo gallery and video update later on in the day.
Ride In Peace

The Nuclear Cowboyz tour is back, ready to take on 2012! This year’s show set in the year 2150, pits the Metal Mulisha, Soldiers of Havoc, and Nuclear Cowgirlz against an evil force known as the Tempest and a Cyborg Army. Featuring the best freestyle motocross riders in the world, Metal Mulisha FMX rider Ronnie Faisst will step-up and be the leader another year with his teammate’s Wes Agee, Nixey Danielson, Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Rob Adelberg & Derek Garland.
Over the weekend the tour kicked off in Baltimore MD! The Mulisha team unleashed some nasty tricks and went as big as possible to get the crowed pumped showing the first timers what Nuclear Cowboyz is all about!
“We’ve got fire, girls, acrobats, quads, snowmobiles and some serious FMX action. We’ve got a little bit of everything to keep everybody stoked.” – Wes Agee
The boys are gearing up for the next stop near a town by you so make sure to check the tour schedule. If you have seen the show before, this year is even better and if this is your first time, do not miss out!
On Sunday, Metal Mulisha rider Derek Garland will take off on the Rock And Roll Marathon in Las Vegas! This 26.2 mile run will be the first for any FMX rider to take on the challenge! When Garland is off his bike, he is calculating an average of 40 miles a week.
“At first, it wasn’t so much the physical aspect as it was the mental. Thinking that I had to run 20 miles on the weekends seemed hard, but after doing it and looking back, it was more mental than anything.” – Derek Garland.
Garland had a prior commitment with life long friend and Mulisha family member Jeff Ox Kargola whose life was lost in a tragic accident earlier this year in Mexico. “I told Jeff I was going to run a marathon, so for me, it’s a way to finish something I said I was going to do. I can dedicate the marathon to him because I know he’ll be looking down and smiling on me.” We can’t wait to see the final result and good luck with your run this weekend! After Sunday’s race, Garland will be featured in the March issue of Runner’s World magazine! Congrats Garland and we wish you the best!
