At only 21 years of age Kade Mosig is one of the most accomplished young Motocross/Supercross racers in Australia. Not only has this Aussie Metal Mulisha rider won four National Motocross Championships, he has also placed second in four other Championships and has been named Victorian State Motocross Champion an incredible eight times! In short words Kade is bad ass, rips, and hungry for more Championship medals for his display case. We caught up with Kade practicing at Pala Raceway this morning to get the latest on what he is up to.
What’s going on Kade? Pretty far from Australia aren’t you? Aye pretty far haha, I just came down to Pala this morning to get in some laps out here in the Southern California. Just trying to get some practice in for the Australian Super X, which starts in October. So ya just out here doing some serious training because back home it is super wet right now. So we heard you got yourself a bike? Sure did just signed with Factory Honda back home and got myself a new Honda CRF250. I am super pumped with that and hopefully I have a really good Supercross season and everything goes as planed.
Have you made it out to the Mulisha Compound yet? Uh ya, I have been out to the Compound, haven’t had to chance to ride it yet. Hopefully I can go back and ride Deegan’s Supercross track, it looks really good.
Anywhere else you have been?
Ya I went out to Parris Raceway and a few other tracks but ya I will be here for another three weeks so hopefully get out to some more Supercross tracks, go out to the Honda test track, do some more testing and get my bike ready to go.
How are you feeling on the track right now?
I feel pretty good ya know. I am still seven weeks out from the first round so everything is going as planned. I got my trainer back home who is sending me stuff to do while I am here then I will go back train my butt off for another five weeks before the first round. Everything will go good.
What is a day of training like with you?
Man well I get up fresh in the morning and try and ride and try to get as many laps as I can. I will go see my trainer, go for a run, cycle, swimming and all that stuff it is pretty standard for motocross or Supercross to have your fitness up 100%. My training kicks my butt so it is handy when I need it because it pushes me that little bit extra.
How do you like this California weather?
Today is really hot but back home it is like 5ºC (41ºF) and raining everyday back home, so it is a little different. I don’t mind the heat it’s good to train in these conditions and also the harder the better for me when I go back home and take it to the track.
Just go give you an idea of how bad ass Kade is, here is video of Kade on his last ride with Suzuki. Just wait until he gets on his Honda during this years Championship! Thank you to Casey McPerry for all these sick photos at Pala!
Deegan got in his morning stretch at Pala Raceway while cutting in fresh lines on his CRF450! Brian has his focus set on Speed and Style for this years XGames and is ready to tear it up, so get ready for some Mulisha Domination! After some riding, Brian gives us the layout of the all new AFMXA freestyle park at Pala Raceway. Shout-out to Stephen Potter for the sick ass video!
Congratulations to Wil Hahn for his second place over-all finish in the 2010 Lites West Supercross series.
Hahn was able to secure a second-place ranking by finishing 3rd in Salt Lake City, despite suffering a separated AC joint just 2 days prior to the race. It took real guts and determination to ride through the pain on an extremely slick race track in the rain, and at times even snow.
This truly was a break out year for the Hahn, who finished on the podium in 5 out of 8 races, and never finished outside of the top 5. Look for Wil to bring this momentum to East/West SX shootout in Las Vegas next weekend, and Hangtown, CA, where the Motocross nationals kick-off on May 22nd.
Watch this exclusive video-clip to find out more about Hahn’s shoulder injury, and his personal life.
The newest Metal Mulisha racer, Wil Hahn, has been on fire lately. Wil is on a hot-streak of podiums, with a second place and two third-place finishes in the last four rounds. His worst finish on the season so far is an astonishing fifth place! Mulisha knows talent, and it is no brainer why Wil is now on the team. Wil came rocketing out of the starting gate in the main event, and took the holeshot with ease. The track in Anaheim looked like it came straight from MX Reflex, with super technical timing sections, momentum stopping singles, and tricky whoop sections. This did not phase Wil, as he battled for the lead early on before settling into third. For the second weekend in a row, Wil stood on the box in third.
The West Lites riders get an eight round break, as the series shifts to the East coast division. Wil is sure to be training hard during the series break, because with just two rounds left in the West Lites series, Wil sits third in the points with a comfortable fourteen point lead over fourth and just seven points behind second. Way to go Wil. Let the Mulisha domination continue!
Also making an appearance at the race was none other than the General himself, Brian Deegan, with Danger Boy. Deegan pumped up the crowd and talked about the Nuclear Cowboyz tour, which is of course dominated by the Mulisha. Be sure to attend the tour when it comes to a city near you, and see all your favorite Mulisha riders.
Wil Hahn is having the best season yet of his young career. The rain storm that hit San Diego turned what would have been a fast paced course, into a slick and rutted battle ground, separating the men from the boys. Wil started the night off right by winning his Heat race, despite having a single 12-minute practice session just 1 hour prior to the race.
After a mid-pack start in the Main event, Wil kept his composure and immediately began working his way through the pack. Wil worked his way into third with one lap to go, where he would finish the race.
Wil has now been on the podium three out of five times, finishing no worse than fourth, and is currently ranked third in West Coast Lites points. Be sure to cheer on Wil this weekend in Anaheim!
Wil Hahn put in the best ride yet of his young career. A third place finish in Phoenix gave Wil momentum to get through the rainy week leading up to the race. Will wasted no time on the track, qualifying 3rd fastest in timed qualifying and heat race. In the main event, a great hole shot placed Wil up front early in a 4-way battle for the lead. As the laps wound down, he settled into second and pulled away from third. Congratulations for your second place finish, Wil. The Mulisha domination is in full effect!
Wil Hahn has been a fan of Metal Mulisha for quite some time now. He is so much of a supporter, that Wil is running a Mulisha skull on his helmet as he plans on pushing threw to first! The Red Bull/Troy Lee Designs Honda team rider #49 was hauling ass in Phoenix, battling with the top-3 riders all race.
Wil came up just short of the podium, finishing 4th, but improved over his round one performance. Look for Wil to be a serious podium contender this weekend in Anaheim’s Supercross Race. Kick some ass Wil!
Saturday’s Supercross, held at Anaheim Stadium was going off! Josh Grant was still hurting from his crash testing days prior to the race. JG wanted to repeat round 1 from 2009 results taking first. He elected to sit out the second practice to rest and prepare for the race.
Josh rode through the pain and transferred to the main event directly out of his heat race, but made the decision not to race the main and risk further injury. JG is going to continue to train and get prepared for the next round of the series which will be on Jan. 16 in Phoenix, Ariz. at Chase Field. Congrats to Mulisha friend Wil A Hahn taking 5th in the Supercross Light Class! Check out the photo gallery.
It is official; Josh Grant joins the Metal Mulisha Family! JG has been on the program for a while, but conflicting sponsors didn’t allow him to rock M/M at races. Now he’s officially dialed in and you will see JG kicking ass while rocking M/M at Supercross!
Grant came down to MM HQ yesterday and was pumped to officially seal the deal after being released from the hospital. He was warming up during a practice session on Tuesday, killing the track times and blasting through the whoops, but unfortunately had a huge crash in the whoops! Luckily Grant is a tough SOB and will do all he can to ride at A1! Check out his video interview…
Be sure to tune in this Saturday January 9th to watch Grant race the 2010 AMA Supercross Championship at Angel Stadium LIVE on SPEED/CBS. Here is the SPEED/CBS TV schedule.
What is a day of training like with you?
