Transworld Motocross Dirt Days was a couple weeks back and we just now got the video uploaded. Sorry for lagging, but better late than never, right!? Good. After the video, make sure to check out the photos from Mulisha and TWMX too.
The nominees have been announced for the 1st Annual TransWorld Motocross Awards presented by Rockstar Energy Drink, and it’s no surprise that there are a ton of Metal Mulisha riders on the ballot! The winners will be named October 8, 2009 at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas the day before the 2009 U.S. Open begins.
The Readers Choice Award is probably the most prestigious of the awards because it all up to you, the fans, to vote for your favorite rider of the year. It goes with out saying, but I’ll say it anyway, get over there and vote for your favorite Metal Mulisha rider!

Check out this video of Floyd Mayweather walking into the ring for his match versus Juan Manuel Marquez. In the last minute or so you will see Mayweather’s body guards walking out wearing the Metal Mulisha Fallen Tee Shirt! They hit us up for some clothes a while ago and we sent some out, but we had no idea they would rock them at one of the biggest boxing matches in recent history. We’re pretty sure this is the reason Mayweather dominated and won the fight, so for that, you’re welcome Floyd!
Partin’, booze, babes and selling a ton of shit. That pretty much sums up the ASR trade show for the Metal Mulisha last week. Here’s a few pics from ground zero. Enjoy.

A couple guys made their van seaworthy and drove it across the Cook Straight in New Zealand! In true Metal Mulisha style, they painted the Amphibious Van Yacht flat black, plastered MM helmets on the sides and charged it! Vanarchy!
We hear Maverick Gunner is tracking these guys down to borrow the van for his next trip around the world. Good call.
Sherry Spencer recently sent us an email about her 13 year old son Christian who got in a serious moto crash and was in a coma. Lauren Lusk got in touch with Sherry letting her know all of our thoughts and support were behind Christian and the Spencer family. Unfortunately, yesterday, they had to pull Christian off life support.
Dirt bikes were Christian’s life and he was a big Metal Mulisha fan. Everyone that knows him associated him with his love for those things. He had his Lusk memorial shirt at his bedside in his final hours. He wanted to ride for the Metal Mulisha one day…we know Christian and Jeremy are poppin’ wheelies up there somewhere right now.
In his memory, here are a couple pics of Christian. RIP buddy.
