The stage was set for a ground-breaking showdown between the best freestyle motocross riders in the world to battle head-to-head on the largest FMX course in the history of the sport. Amongst the roster of riders, Metal Mulisha team riders Todd Potter, Wes Agee and Rob Adelberg faced unpredictable winds throughout the week.

Thursday kicked off a practice session which then led into Friday for another practice and qual. Unfortunately they never got to qualify because once again… the wind held them back.

This placed riders in a shotgun effort to stack up during the final day with another practice, qual and battle during the main event. Wind once again set the tempo of the day as officials delayed scheduled times throughout the day for safety reasons.

Deegan, Scummy, Link, Jacko, Leduc, Bean and the rest of the team stopped by the pits to meet and greet with all the fans while the the Mulisha Maidens decided to have a party of their own! They really got the crowed pumped handing out a grip of free clothing, products, stickers and autographed gear.

Unfortunately the wind never let up and the results came down the qualifying score. All the riders agreed that it was too unsafe to compete due to the high winds that would drastically affect their rotations and tricks. With rider safety being #1 to Red Bull event staff, an agreement was made by both parties to cancel the event as it was dangerous to perform at their best for the fans due to the gusty conditions.

It’s been windy the past couple days and we had to miss practice all day yesterday, and then we luckily got in some qualifying this morning after the main event was called off. I’d like to go up there fair and square and go through the whole way, head-to-head, and do it legitimate, but we all knew this morning at qualifying that it was going to be tough with the wind. We all made sure we did our best runs, and it just so happened I won it. A win is a win, so I’m pumped.” – Rob Adelberg

Congrats to the Adelberg and the team for going on there and giving it your all! Make sure to visit our Glen Helen X Fighters photo gallery and check back for more photos and updates.


The 2013 Red Bull X-Fighters tour continues June 1 in Osaka, Japan, for the fourth of six stops, followed by events in Madrid, Spain (July 19) and Pretoria, South Africa (Sept. 7).

redbull course Day 1 Glen Helen Red Bull X Fighters

Glen Helen’s Red Bull X Fighters is in full effect! Metal Mulisha team riders Todd Potter, Wes Agee and Rob Adelberg are more than prepared to take on Saturday’s main event in front of thousands of Southern California fans, along with the world watching the largest FMX showdown. SR1 6328 300x200 Day 1 Glen Helen Red Bull X FightersToday the team gathered inside the X Fighters pits, focusing on last minute bike corrections and mentally running through their trick lineup for each of their event challenges. They course layout is something you have to see in person. Looking around this massive FMX footprint will hold a new, much larger course map than the previous event in 2012. Dane Herron the course designer added a mix of new features such as the huge 80-foot high wall-ride bowl, plenty of uphill and downhill options, the biggest transfer jump in the history of freestyle motocross, a newly improved step-up launching riders six stories high, six metal take off ramps, two super kicker-style metal ramps, a metal quarter pipe take off, a unique 40-foot long rainbow rail… should we go on? Straight badass’ness!

I would have to say that this course is better than last year. I have to admit that I did not know how the X-Fighters folks were going to do it, but they definitely did it. Dane built an excellent course. It’s just got a lot of options. When I first rode out there I was looking around and it’s just confusing until you start figuring it all out, but we did the test session today and jumped a bunch of the jumps and it is just going to be unreal.- Todd Potter

Last year during the Glen Helen event Adelberg was working through his trick lineup and broke his jaw flipping the step up in practice.

SR1 6372 Day 1 Glen Helen Red Bull X Fighters

Pissed off and motivated to get out of the hospital, he returned the next day for the qualifiers making it in the top 6. Ready for more during the main event he checked off a list of tricks and went out to flip the step up again! Balls of steel! If Rob wouldn’t had missed out on 1 jump in the second round, we would have for sure seen him on the podium. With a whole new contest at stake and more motivated than ever, Rob has his sights on taking home a guaranteed spot on the podium.

Today’s practice was really good and with Saturdays event in my sights, I have nothing but confidence to get out there and claim the top of the podium. The setup here is what freestyle motocross is all about, massive jumps, technical defiantly something the boys on the team and myself are use to. Either way Potter, Wes and myself will be out looking forward to taking over with a 1-2-3 podium take over.- Rob Adelberg

With Mulisha having a stacked field in this event, the boys are ready to lay it down, flush out the competition and secure a podium sweep in our own backyard!

glen helen metal mulisha shane ruiz Red Bull X Fighters Returns to Glen Helen

Red Bull X Fighters makes a FMX footprint once again in the massive course layout of Southern California’s, Glen Helen Raceway. With Metal Mulisha riders Todd Potter and Wes Agee claiming the podium last year on the largest freestyle motocross course in history, the big question is… how will Red Bull stack the dirt to pump up a course that is even bigger and badder?!

metal mulisha wes agee xfighters Red Bull X Fighters Returns to Glen Helen

Todd Potter, Wes Agee and Rob Adleberg will take on the 2013 course with a massive increase in size, more dirt, more features and more action. metal mulisha agee xfighters 200x300 Red Bull X Fighters Returns to Glen HelenThere will also be increased use of the existing hillside, which provided for some of the most exciting tricks in 2012, including the massive backflip step-ups landed by American riders Wes Agee and eventual winner Todd Potter. The step-up will grow to two stages (adding an additional jump) that will take the riders more than six stories above the main course arena. These additional uphill and downhill options will result in the biggest transfer jump in the history of freestyle motocross. To mimic the freeriding style that Southern California is known for, look for less traditional tabletops and more natural freeride terrain jumps. And on top of all that dirt, there will be six metal take off ramps, two super kicker-style metal ramps, a metal quarter pipe take off, a unique 40-foot-long rainbow rail and the return of the 80-foot-long bowl-curved wall ride (a 2012 fan favorite), all making for near-unlimited riding options. In addition, spectators will be closer to the action, with the seating areas moved in from last year.

To raise the bar, Metal Mulisha is kicking off a on-site photo contest with all the Metal Mulisha Troops! All you have to do is hash tag #metalmulisha on instagram or twitter, your best photo during the event. We will be handing out a grip of hand picked clothing packs and shipping them out to all the winners. If your not following us yet make sure to add @metalmulisha to both your accounts, keep updated with all the action and get ready for the big event!

640 Todd Potter Gives Back 4G4Hope

Todd Potter has proved himself as a top showman and competitor around the world claiming titles in a range of freestyle motocross events. For many that have had the opportunity to meet or know Todd, they find that behind the bars sits a humble individual. Todd has contributed support by involving himself with selected charities. Verizon mobile reached out to Potter along with designer, Lori Dennis, DJ, Zen Freeman and celebrity Chief, Ricardo Zarate to take part in a $10,000 dollar donation to the charity of their choice. We called up Todd to get the details on what has been going down in the life of Potter.

metal mulisha todd potter glen helen x fighters Todd Potter Gives Back 4G4Hope

How has everything been Potter?
Right now everything has been great. I have been putting in a lot of seat time lately just training. Right now I am actually on the tractor fixing some spots on my course to practice for this upcoming X Fighters.

Screen Shot 2013 02 22 at 11.21.55 AM Todd Potter Gives Back 4G4HopeSo how did you get involved with the 4G4Hope charity?
A good friend of mine Johnny has property surrounding my FMX course and we have become really close over the years. His niece Alyssa unfortunately suffers from the Lafora Disease and it really took on a impact with my life having a friend dealing with such a traumatic issue. Lafora disease is the most severe form of human epilepsy and kids are born with the terminal disease which doesn’t come into effect until their mid-teens. Sadly, there is no cure at this time. Verizon has been a great sponsor over the years and they approached me about this opportunity and I immediately wanted to take part and donate to a charity that helps research on the disease. I chose the Chelsea’s Hope Charity which represents hope for all children suffering from Lafora disease.
That’s really cool of you Todd! So what can we do to help you out and spread the word?
Right now I’m up against four other celebrity who have all picked a charity of their choice to donate to if they win. I have been really pushing this hard on my twitter, instagram and facebook page to get the Mulisha fans and my fans to vote for me. I encourage everyone to take part in this great cause and just want to thank everyone who has already supported myself by voting.

Jacko, Deegan, Potter and the rest of the team put in some hard work at the Metal Mulisha Compound over the last week. With 22 acres of Temecula Wine Country dirt to play with and many more future plans of building, the team dialed in Phase 1 of the rebuild.

Jacko went to work and moved some dirt near the cement runway and added a 85 foot dirt-to-dirt jump that sits in the middle of a 75 foot ramp to the left and 110 foot ramp to the right.

Behind the jumps rest a new 60 foot Superkicker ramp that pops off to massive dirt landing the rest of the jumps landings meet. Across from the wallride sits another 50 foot Superkicker ramp that has a dirt roll-in and steps-up to a dirt landing.
