I’m looking forward to the trip, should be a lot of fun…Check back in a couple weeks for pictures and the full story…

I just got back from Oregon where we did the second annual Metal Mulisha FMX challenge. Deegan let OX, Fluffer, Potter and myself drive his motor home up for the event (thanks Brian). We got there at about 4am the day before the event. After some breakfast and a little nap we sessioned Homan’s ramps and supercross track in his backyard. It was sick, it snowed the night before and the dirt was perfect! Twitch and Faisst got in that night and we got some dinner and everyone was pretty tired so we just went to bed.

Friday and Saturday we did the shows, It was SOLD OUT! Everyone was riding super good, probably because we were on coke! JUST KIDDING, but seriously the ground was so slick we had to spray down Coke Cola to make it sticky enough to keep our wheels from spinning before the ramps.

Just starting to get the new site going… check out some of the old photos I put in the photo gallery, just to get started for now. More updates and photos coming real soon.
