Metal Mulisha had one hell of a weekend out in Las Vegas! Brandon Dosch competed in the Dew Tour BMX Dirt Finals putting up some solid runs.
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.
Check out Cam Sinclair landing the cover of Crusty Magazine! As of now Sincs is doing a lot better and is out of surgery after a hard crash, which injured his femur at the Dew Tour Cup in Las Vegas. Get better Cam and pick up a copy of a Crusty Mag today!
The Metal Mulisha took 2 out of 3 spots on the podium in X Games 17 Best Trick! As the General says, the real men are in the Best Trick event. Jacko Strong and Cam Sinclair are the men among men, and X Games Medalists!
Congrats to Jacko on stomping the front flip and bringing home the X Games Gold! Proud of you buddy!
Also congrats to Cam on the double flip nac…that’s right, Cam just brought double backflip combos to the table! You know your trick is crazy when you cant even do it in the new Mulisha video game haha!
Taka Higashino kinda got jipped. Not ’cause judging sucked, because I would score a front flip a couple double backflips at the top, too. But because he did one of the sickest, most technical tricks ever, and I’m not sure everyone appreciated how bad ass it really was because of all the hype around the other tricks. Taka pulled a 1 handed seat grab backflip…think about it. Good job Taka son!
Check out the X Games 17 Best Trick photo gallery for sequences of Jacko and Cam’s tricks, and of course the video is below. X Games 17 day 1 is over…1 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze…not a bad start!
Following last year’s 10 team medals, the Metal Mulisha is once again bringing its full arsenal to Los Angeles for X Games 17, from July 28 -31. This year, all events will take place in and around place Staples Center, where Mulisha will look to increase its tally of more than 50 medals since 1999.
This year, Metal Mulisha will have seven athletes competing in six events, including Best Trick, Step Up, Best Whip, Rally and BMX. Among the top storylines as Mulisha prepares to continue its long run of success on action sports’ biggest stage:
“The General” Brian Deegan will look to improve on his silver medal in Super Rally with a brand-new custom Ford Fiesta, which features a black, red and white Metal Mulisha tiger shark design. The much anticipated Rally Racing events will take place in Lot 7, outside of Staples Center, on Saturday, July 30th and Sunday, July 31st. Earlier in the week, Deegan will also compete in Step up on Thursday, July 28th.
Todd Potter will have the busiest week of any Mulisha team rider, competing in Best Whip, where he aims to capture a fourth consecutive gold medal, Speed & Style for the first time in his career, and Step Up.
Looking to make a big impact on American audiences, Australia’s Jackson ‘Jacko’ Strong, has been preparing to land the first-ever front flip in competition during this year’s Best Trick event. In 2010, Mulisha rider and fellow Aussie Cam Sinclair won gold with a double backflip, an honor he’s looking to repeat in 2011. The Mulisha team will be missing another one of its family members during X17. Fan favorite and X Games 16 veteran Jeff ‘Ox’ Kargola passed away in April from injuries sustained while riding in Baja, Mexico. Ox will be honored with a tribute video prior to the Step Up competition on Thursday, July 28th. Metal Mulisha riders and fans will also be wearing memorial Ox tees, which are available at www.metalmulisha.com, benefitting the Jeff ‘Ox’ Kargola Fund.
Japanese rider and fan favorite Taka Higashino is riding for his home country this year, which experienced a devastating earthquake and tsunami in March. Taka has been active in recovery efforts for Japan relief, specifically with the local freestyle moto community. In April, Mulisha created a special Taka t-shirt to benefit the Banzai Fund and Red Cross.
X Games veteran Ronnie Faisst, bronze-medal winner in last year’s dramatic Speed & Style final, is looking to increase his medal count, shortly after breaking his femur on the Nuclear Cowboyz tour.
Brandon Dosch, gold medalist in BMX Dirt on the 2010 Dew Tour, will look to have the same success at BMX Park, which kicks off on Thursday, July 28th at the L.A. Live Event Deck.
Mulisha Nation fans can get up-close-and-personal with team riders, who will be signing autographs from Thursday through Sunday, both at the Ford Tent and X Fest in L.A. Live. The brand has also partnered with Ford for an ‘I Win! You Win! competition,‘ where a Mulisha gold medal will win one fan a Mulisha-wrapped Ford Fiesta.

Cameron Sinclair isn’t keeping his X Games Best Trick plans a secret. In 2010, Cam went big with a double backflip to win gold in his first X Games appearance, and he hopes to up the ante in 2011.
“My plan is to do a one-handed double backflip on the first jump to see what that score will be. If it’s not enough for gold, I’ll do a no-handed double backflip or possibly a one-handed to Nac-Nac double flip.” A double-backflip variation never has been landed before… ever.
