Jay Schweitzer is continuing his tradition filming the all new On the Pipe 6 film which will release October 2010. The whole Metal Mulisha crew showed up at the Compound to ride. Hagy, Faisst, Twitch, Deegan, Taka, Fitzpatrick, Garland and so many more all wanted to have a spot in this new film!
The Metal Mulisha Compound was going off, like a outdoors X Games/Nuclear Cowboyz on steroids. Scummy and Maddo were hitting the 160ft jump while the mob of riders head out to Deegan’s Natural Terrain Park from the Compound.
Twitch and Potter took a couple shots at the 160 footer and throttled up some speed, both backflipping the massive dirt hit!
Taka and the rest of the boys starting getting pumped up and went trick for trick all trying to out-do each other for bragging rights. Jay was up in the chopper with his crazy to expensive “Red” camera capturing this epic riding session all on film.
The wind started to pickup after a few hours of riding, but with everyone’s adrenaline pumping they head over to Deegan’s freestyle park to finish off the day. Potter who will be completing in this years X Games “Best Whip” competition once again was throwing down some ridiculous text book whips!
The day went will for the first filming of the Mulisha crew and Jay was stoked to add this footage to his film On The Pipe 6!
Check out some of Jays camera equipment and check out some of the photos from the riding session.
Last week Jimmy Fitzpatrick hosted one of the biggest FMX riding sessions ever. All the guys had been away on tour, so there hasn’t been much time for everyone to get together and have a solid day of riding. What had seemed to be never ending April showers in Southern California, turned out to be a blessing, leaving Fitzland in prime condition for a good roosting.
Deegan, Twitch, Taka, Wes, Scummy, Garland, Danielson, and friends all joined Jimmy in an epic riding session. The guys started off tricking the massive 120-foot ramp to dirt jump. Jimmy killed it over the biggest ramp jump on his compound by pulling huge seat grab indy flips off of it.
After that, everyone headed to a dirt to dirt step up, where Deegan and Twitch were snapping upside-down whips. Looking for even bigger hang time, everyone shifted over to the biggest jump Fitzland has to offer, a 130-foot natural double that sends you over a valley. This is the massive dirt jump that Potter flipped not too long ago. Twitch and Maddo considered flipping it, but decided to save that for another day.
Twitch, Deegan, and Danielson, had to leave after the valley dirt jump, so Fitzpatrick, Wes, Taka, and Garland decided to end the day with a trick session on the 75-foot ramp jump. The guys went through their arsenal of tricks, throwing down huge backflip nacs, no handers, and seat grabs.
All the guys had a great time riding together again after a long time away on tour. It was the perfect way to get everyone back into competition mode, as X Games is approaching fast, where the Mulisha is certain to dominate once again. Make sure you check out the rest of these amazing photos in our gallery!
