Also, while supplies last, with a $20 minimum purchase of Metal Mulisha product from the Altamonte or Orlando XLR8 locations, you will get a FREE “Let Potter Ride” t-shirt…just make sure you rock it when you are at Dew Tour! If you didn’t hear already, Potter got fined $5,000 and was banned from the Orlando Dew Tour stop for throwing the middle finger during his final run. We think it’s a bunch of bull shit, so pick up a t-shirt, have Potter’s back and give the finger to the man!
So 1 week ago we offered up this autographed Jeremy Lusk banner to whoever convinced us they deserved it in the blog comments. Well, we got about 280 comments–way more than we expected! We wanted a true Mulisha fan to win, but also wanted to see a ton of funny shit! Read through the comments, there is plenty of funny shit and we like that!
So…drum roll please…the winner is…13 year old Alan Shao! Alan’s comment was like a lot of other people’s comments, but Alan posted this sick video that he made of him riding in the woods that made the difference! That must have taken some serious time setting up the camera in all those angles, and the YX80 is sick!
And now the honorable mention section! Each of these winners will get a FREE Metal Mulisha tee of their choice and a pair of Osiris Shoes! Click the name to read their comments.
keith - Keith left the first, and arguably the funniest, comment of the whole contest. We almost gave him the win! Lucky for us he didn’t send a video! Keith, we can’t help you with your chronic boners, but we can send you a FREE tee shirt!
Nick - Nick was going to use the banner as a “panty dropper” for the chicks. Sorry you didn’t get the banner, but hopefully a fresh new MM shirt will help get the babes panties off!
Justin - Justin was all over the blog with tons of offensive, funny-ass comments…we liked the David Copperfield one the best! Justin, you earned it!
Josh - Josh is a dumb ass who’s parents think he’s stupid and can’t win anything. They’re probably right about him being stupid, but now he can say he won something–even if it is just a tee shirt!
Kathy Loza - She’s a chick. We needed a chick winner and she always leaves blog comments, so her metalmulisha.com loyalty is now being rewarded! Congrats Kathy!
If you didn’t win this time, well, suck it up! There will be plenty more chances to win FREE Metal Mulisha junk in the near future, so stay on the look out!
The LG Action Sports FMX World Championships is always a good show and always has one of the most difficult and technical course of the year. This year’s course featured a dirt 6 pack, a ramp to dirt double double section, and one stand alone ramp jump. The field of 12 riders consisted of 7 Mulisha riders! The birthday boy, Twitch, came into this event wanting to give himself the perfect birthday present by winning his second LG event in a row. Ox, Potter, Faisst and Cam were eliminated in the first head-to-head round, with Twitch, Lusk, and Maddo moving on. Unfortunately, Lusk and Maddo’s hopes of winning their first LG World Championship would end in round 2. Both were really close but when it’s left up to the judges you never know what they’re gunna do!
Twitch advanced to the three man finals with Beau Bamburg and Adam Jones. The technical course design limited the amount of big banger tricks, leaving it up to smooth style, tricking on every jump including the smaller hip jumps, and flawless execution…all skills that Twitch has mastered! Twitch threw down a solid run with a good variety of right side up tricks and throwing a flip variation off of each dirt jump in the dirt 6 pack including the hips that go into the big dirt doubles! This gave him the edge over Jones and Bamburg, allowing him to take home his second straight LG Championship! Needless to say, it was one hell of a birthday for Twitch! Congrats!
The LG Action Sports FMX World Championships is this weekend! This is always a solid event with some big ass jumps. Twitch is the defending champ so he’s looking for a repeat for sure, but Lusk, Potter and Maddo have been on their game lately, while Faisst, Ox, Taka, Sincs, Garland and Fitz are looking to qualiy and make a statement! It’s gunna be good so make it out to the LA County Fairgrounds in Pomona and check it.
Not much to say other than hell yeah Lusk and Potter!The Mulisha dominated X Games Mexico! First Lusk wins Best Trick, then he followed it up with a huge win in FMX, while Faisst took 4th in FMX. Potter crashed hard in his FMX run, but still made it back to compete in Best Whip where he cracked the whip shirtless for a gold medal, while Lusk took bronze!
Robbie Maddison, Jeremy Lusk, Ronnie Faisst, and Todd Potter held it down for the Mulisha in the Dew Tour finals! Lusk put in an awesome first run, landing him in second place for the majority of the finals. That is until Maddo put in the solid run he was looking for. While it wasn’t enough to take the win, Maddo’s run earned him a second place finish. Faisst looked back at home in the finals, riding with smooth and explosive style. His efforts were good for a seventh place result. Congratulations to Maddo and Lusk for bringing home second and third place!
The real story of the event wasn’t just the two podium finishes, but Todd Potter’s excessive punishment for giving the Mulisha some glove love. Potter has been wearing the sick new Metal Mulisha gloves made by Grenade, which features the Metal Mulisha written down the middle finger. In true SLC punk Mulisha style, Potter decided to show he world the glove with a 1 finger salute LIVE on air for the NBC cameras. The FCC complained and the powers that be ended up fining Potter $5,000, banning him from riding the Orlando Dew Tour stop, and taking away 25 points. What a crock of shit! Let Potter Ride!

The Metal Mulisha domination continued in Salt Lake today during FMX prelims. Four of the seven qualifying positions belonged to Mulisha family. Maddo qualified the highest of the group in second place followed by Potter and Lusk. Faisst made his first final of the year, qualifying third out of the second round…not bad for a guy who needs an ACL replacement in his knee! Ox missed the finals by just 1 spot. Garland went down in practice when he slipped a foot peg on a huge whip. He walked away without injury but was really sore for the qualifying round. Perhaps a special young lady in the SLC area would like to give him a massage to help loosen him up? Hit him up on MySpace! Finals are set to kick off Saturday morning at 11:30am.
ASR Trade Show is the bi-yearly big dick competition between all the lame-ass brands out there in the “industry.” Everyone gets drunk, parties too hard for their britches, and goes home with a moral hangover. Somewhere in between all the debauchery, sales guys try to sell their junk. Most brands don’t sell shit ‘cuz they just plain suck, and make fools of themselves because they’re not used to staying up past bedtime drinking.
The Mulisha is a whole other story. We’ve been partyin’ wide open for 10 years! Now our shit sells itself…which gives us even more time to go BIG! We can’t speak of the after hours stupidity, but here are a few photos from the show and a video of our ESP Guitars giveaway! HUGE thanks to our bro Adam Duce, the bass player from Machine Head, for flying out to party and judge the guitar contest! Our new #1 Mulisha fan “Striker,” AKA “Loose Tooth,” rocked out so hard that Adam awarded him one of the custom painted ESP Mulisha guitar!
