Metal Mulisha

The Metal Mulisha domination continued last night at the first round of the Dew Tour, as Robbie Maddison qualified first out of the prelims! Jeremy Lusk qualified fourth, followed by new recruit, Nixey Danielson. Unfortunately, Twitch was unable compete in the prelims. During practice, Twitch over jumped a booter dirt table top. Upon landing he dislocated his thumb. He tried to continue riding, but the pain was too great. Potter, Faisst, Taka, and Garland came up just short of qualifying for the 10 man final.

Check out more photos in the Gallery, and check back soon for more after the finals!

You mess with the bull, you’ll get the horns! Twitch and Lusk brought the heat in the heat of Fort Worth, Texas this weekend for Red Bull X Fighters. The Mulisha infiltrated the Red Bull event and dominated!

Potter and Taka started out the night going head-to-head in the first bracket. Potter was having trouble putting together his tricks all weekend and blew it again for the big show. Taka threw down a sick run and easily advanced to the next bracket.

Robbie Maddison went up against Charles Pages in the first round. Wrapped up in tape and sore as hell after a big practice crash the day before, Maddo sacked up and threw some huge tricks, even a KOD flip off the jump he crashed on! Maddo beat out little Pages, only to face his brother, Thomas, in the next round.

Here’s how Round 2 went:
- Twitch had a sick run and advanced past etneis teammate Andre Villa.
- Maddo took out the other Pages brother and would face Twitch in the semi-final.
- Taka went up against Mulisha teammate Jeremy Lusk, but this time Lusk emerged victorious with some of the biggest extensions of the weekend.
- Mat Rebeaud easily stomped Mylo.

Round 3 Semi Final:
Twitch vs. Maddo - Maddo went first and had a strong run going. Unfortunately, he came up a little short on a jump with his foot off and dislocated his kneecap…ouch! With Maddo out it gave Twitch a chance to get in some practice for the finals and jump the 115 foot jump that no one had jumped in 3 days of practice. Twitch not only jumped it, but he flipped it second try!
Lusk vs. Rebeaud - Neither Lusk nor Rebeaud would have the luxury of some practice. Lusk came out swinging first with his big tricks. Rebeaud followed with some crazy lines and combos and hit the 115 footer. It was close, but Rebeaud would advance to the final vs. Twitch.

Finals - Twitch vs. Rebeaud
Twitch went first, hitting the quarter pipe huge right off the bat and went into his run. Twitch made a couple mistakes with a half extended super flip and cordova flip. Those were enough for the judges to give the win to Rebeaud, who had a flawless run, even a flip indy over 115 footer.

All-in-all it was a sick contest and the Mulisha was allover the place! Thanks to all the Texas fans that came out representing hard!

Red Bull X Fighters is goin’ down this weekend in fort worth Texas. The course is sick! Just check the photos….

Twitch, Lusk, Taka, Potter and Maddo are all riding. Twitch and Maddo are pre qualified and Taka, Potter and Lusk have to qualify…I think they are taking 5 out of the 7 guys that are trying to qualify, so chances are pretty good they will make it. They had some practice yesterday and today and everyone is just getting the jumps dialed in. Keep checking back to metalmulisha.com for updates all weekend!

Check out this interview with Taka over at FORTY8 FMX Mag…how they translated it is a mystery to me!

Our friends at StompGrip sent over some photos from the Temecula Hills ride last month with Deegan, Twitch, Taka, Potter, Garland and more! Check out the new ones in the photo gallery!

The Best Damn Sports Show has been claiming to be the best damn sports show for a while now. We would agree, except they have never had the Metal Mulisha on the show. How could you be the best damn sports show without the Mulisha? We know, it’s impossible. So, apparently the people from BDSSP realized the error in their ways and lined up a shoot with the Best Damn Dirt Bikers Period…the Metal Mulisha!

Olympic Gold Medal winning swimmer, BDSSP host and Play Boy cover girl Amanda Beard came out with a camera crew for the day and filmed a segment for the show. Everyone rode a solid session. Ox’s bike cut out off the lip and he had to bail, but luckily he landed safely on the soft backside of the landing. Amanda got in on a little riding action, too. Against the rules of her 2008 Olympic team, she hopped on Faisst’s bike a took it for a spin around the course! Not bad for a pro stroker!

They now officially have the Mulisha endorsement for Best Damn Sports Show, so tune in and check out the show this Friday, March 7, at 11PM on Fox Sports (FSN) with multiple re-airs. Until then, check out the photo gallery from the day!
