The Journeys BBQ Tour hits Baltimore, MD this weekend and Garland, Hagy and Wes will be out there riding the FMX demos, while Twitch will be making an appearance for autographs courtesy of etnies. So get your ass out there if you’re in the area!
Check the Journeys photo gallery for photos from the past stops. Also, if you’ve gone to any of the past stops or plan on going to the next ones, make sure to upload your photos to the gallery to share with all the fools who couldn’t make it.
Fluffer just checked in from Orlando where he’s shredding sick barrels and getting ready for the Journeys Backyard BBQ Tour. Fluff may be in the green room and bashin’ the lip today, but tomorrow him and Garland and Wes will be popping wheelies and hucking backflips for the big show. If you’re near Orlando then get your ass down there and check it out!
Over the weekend Mulisha had a few different things goin’ on. Deegan was racing again at CORR in Pomona all weekend. He was battling with suspension setup all weekend and it just never felt quite right. None the less, Deegan managed to get a top 10 finish on Saturday in the Pro Lite A Main. On Sunday, instead of breaking up the the final into A & B mains, with the faster guys in the A Main, they just grouped everyone together for huge 30 truck demolition derby! Deegan was running around 8th with 2 laps to go when his throttle cable broke…I guess that can happen sometimes when you’re pinning it wide open!
While Deegan was bangin’ bumpers in Pomona, Fitz, Potter, Lusk, Ox and Scummy were riding a ramp-to-ramp demo at the Temecula Balloon and Wine Festival. Yeah, random. The turn out was pretty big for both shows…the crowd loved it! The second show had a crowd judged contest. It came down to Lusk and Potter, but Lusk just edged out Potter for the win. Potter was bummed since the winner got 1.2 million theoretical dollars.
Check out the Photo Gallery from the Balloon & Wine Demo.
The last stop of the Journeys BBQ Tour was also this weekend in Philly, PA. Fluffer and Garland were out there again providing the FMX entertainment for the fans. Bam Margera and family showed up to hang out as they live pretty close. Trittler, who runs the Rockstar/Mulisha demos and takes the ramps around the country, got drunk and into a speedo and helmet to announce the demos…again. Speedo Man got on stage with bands, went crowd surfing, got escorted off by security and signed more autographs than Bam! Photos of Speed Man coming soon…
Derek Garland and Fluffer are on the whole Journeys Tour popping wheelies and doing nac nacs for the masses. Fluff just posted a solid update with video and tons of photos on the Osiris site. If you look around you’ll also notice that Garland has a team page and is now riding for Osiris!
Here’s an update from Fluffer on the Journeys tour:
The past two weeks myself (Fluffer) and Derek Garland have been on the Journeys BBQ Tour. The tour is 5 weeks long and we have made it through the first two stops. The events are crazy as there are thousands of kids going nuts all throughout the long day of demos…they are making us work over time on this one. So the first stop was in Dallas and was co-sponsored buy etnies, so they flew out Todd Potter to look as pretty as he can while signing autographs…what a rock star he doesn’t even have to ride anymore! They also brought out their mini-celeb Ryan Sheckler to put on a show of his on on the mini ramp. Sheckler asked me for some MM stickers at diner the night before the event so I gave him a stack and he ran them all weekend (so for all of you Sheck haters we got his back).
Now to Denver, again the lot was packed with fans but this time there was an awkward moment of silence. Yes, Shane Trittler, event guy/announcer, had a few two many brews and got into an extra small speedo to announce the last show of the day half naked. It was a little weird taking a run up to the ramp and seeing a but-ass-white dude standing there with a long black object next to him mouth. Well anyway, as always Garland rode insane and I threw some nac nacs and did OK. HaHa -Fluffer
