Todd Potter, Cam Sinclair and Jackson Strong were three of the five riders that all wanted a piece of the winner take all, $40,000 Best Trick Monster Energy Cup prize.
Each rider was only given one shot to give it their all and pull off their biggest trick. Jacko finished off in second place with a huge front flip.
Todd Potter came in third place with a huge Backflip Superman Seat Grab and Cam Sinclair under rotate his signature Double Backflip and landed heavily on his right side, snapping his femur bone. Get better Sincs, have a fast recovery and we are all pumped your ok!
Wes Agee, Jimmy Fitzpatrick and Derek Garland all kicked ass and went big at the 48 Hour Music Festival at the Luxor Festival Grounds, on the world famous Las Vegas Strip. We all had a pretty good time out in Vegas and just landed in Australia to finish up the Metal Mulisha movie, Black Friday.
Taka stepped it up and walked away taking 1st place unleashing a list of tricks, several different back flip combinations, and a huge double grab flip over the 120ft jump.
Rob Adelberg put up a sick battle showing off huge tricks, combinations, extensions, and some nasty upside down tricks coming in 2nd.
Todd Potter hurt his wrist in practice but gave it his all with a solid run. Potter put up some aggressive back-to-back tricks, that enabled him to finish off in 3rd Place!
Congrats to the Metal Mulisha team for sweeping the podium at the 9th annual ASA FMX World Championships!
What would Todd Potter be doing with his life if he wasn’t on a dirt bike, cracking huge whips, and taking home medals?
Not sure if you all guessed right but, Potter hit the streets with his radar gun, cuffs, and handed out some tickets for his September ad “With or Without My Dirt Bike” in Transworld Motocross Magazine. Check it out and make sure to pick up a issue of Transworld Motocross Magazine today.
Ronnie Faisst & Todd Potter both competed in Speed & Style at this weekend’s Salt Lake City, Utah Dew Tour. Taka Higashino came out with Faisst to be his personal wrench and track support.
Both Faisst and Potter put in some time on the track with two solid practices before the final round of Speed & Style. To change things up a bit, Dew Tour added two extra ramps and two extra riders making a total of four battling it out for the podium. Potter was looking really good out on the track and, as always, was throwing down some huge style off the Dew Tour 75 foot ramp section. With Potter training for the upcoming X Fighters contest in Australia, he gave it one hell of a shot out there and was putting in some serious speed out on the track.
The first round kicked off with Ronnie Faisst, Lance Coury, Libor Podmol and Myles Richmond making their way to the starting gate to see who would advance to the finals.
As the bikes revved up and the gates dropped, Faisst took on a huge jump start, taking the whole shot into the first corner, gaining some speed and distance from the rest of the pack.
Faisst crushed the first round, showing fans and judges some serious Speed & Style skills. Ronnie advanced to the next round taking 1st place and next up was Todd Potter.
Potter lined up at the gates and when they dropped, he gunned it for the hole shot and was pinched in the first corner. He started to clear through the double and triple sections, slowly catching up before making his way through the whoops. Potter was throwing out some big tricks for the fans and judges but didn’t manage to advance into the finals. Good job out there Potter!
Faisst was back on the track ready to take on the final round of Dew Tour. Ronnie lined up at the starting gate with Mike Mason, Beau Bamberg, and Brian Foster.
Mike Mason & Faisst had a stand off right out of the gate as Faisst went for the inside and Mason took the corner hole shot. Faisst cleared the next few sections and powered through the whoops giving Mason a run for his money.
Faisst finished up the final round taking second place in the Salt Lake City, Dew Tour Speed & Style contest! Congrats Faisst on your podium finish and Ronnie will be training up for the next stop and final round of Dew Tour in Las Vegas, October 14th – 16th.
