Metal Mulisha Named Official Casual Sponsor for

Valli-Star Rockstar Yamaha Team 

Leading Supercross and Motocross team will feature Mulisha branding at events throughout 2012 

Irvine, CA (December 28, 2011) - Metal Mulisha will revisit its roots in Supercross and Motocross with an agreement to become the official casual sponsor for the Valli-Star Supercross/Motocross team. As part of the agreement, the team will be seen with the Metal Mulisha logo on their helmets, jerseys and bikes. Led by top riders such as Ryan Sipes, Kyle Cunningham, Austin Stroupe, Gareth Swanepohl, Nico Izzi, Ryan Morris and Kyle Peters, the team will be competing at all 2012 events on the AMA Supercross and Motocross tours. Led by "The General" Brian Deegan, Mulisha recently held the team introduction at the Yamaha test track located in Corona, CA. "I'm pumped about getting back into Supercross and Moto racing with the Valli-Star team," said Metal Mulisha's Brian Deegan. "We're joining forces with a great team that knows how to win, so it will be cool to see them wearing Mulisha on the podium next year." Mulisha has a strong background in both Motocross and Supercross, with founder Brian Deegan starting his career in Supercross at the age of 17, before helping to usher in Freestyle Motocross during the late 1990s. At the LA Coliseum In 1997, Deegan famously won the Supercross Lites race and in true rebel style, ghost rode his bike across the finish line. Many other Mulisha riders, such as Ronnie Faisst and Cam Sinclair, began racing in Supercross early in their careers. Earlier this year, Mulisha expanded into the amateur ranks of Supercross and Motocross with the signing of young rider, Andrew Pierce, who debuted with Mulisha by winning four championships at the Mini Olympics. The AMA Supercross season will kick off January 7th from Anaheim, CA, while the AMA Motocross season begins in May.

Deegan, looking for the next championship to conquer,  took a big chance two years ago climbing into a Fiesta at X Games with only a handful of four-wheel events (truck) on his resume. He finished fourth in the 2009 X Games as a failed turbo cost him an epic semi-final showdown with his arch- rival Travis Pastrana. A year later Deegan returned to X Games, vanquished Pastrana and took second in SuperRally and RallyCross. Back for a third run at X Games rally gold, the 14 time X Games medalist will make his Global RallyCross Championship debut this weekend in Colorado as a tune up for next month’s X Games 17 in LA. This Week in Ford Racing caught up with ‘The General’ and founder of the Metal Mulisha to talk about his rally program. Global-RallyCross-aPikes-Peak-019 You have had the Global RallyCross Championship event on your schedule since early this year as a tune up for X Games. It falls in the middle of the Lucas Oil Off Road Series season in which you are racing a F-150 Raptor. “I’ve definitely had a very busy schedule this year with all the truck racing, riding dirt bikes, stock cars. It’s getting close to X Games and I have to get prepared for RallyCross. Last year, I only had one day of practice for a couple hours and I went in and had a really good race. This year I want to be more prepared, so I’m going to go out to the Global RallyCross at Pikes Peak and try to get more familiar with the car. The Fiesta is definitely a lot different than anything I drive so it’s something I really want to go up there, get a lot of seat time in and use it as a big practice. I will go up there and get the car dialed in for X Games and that’s the plan. I know there are a lot of other guys up there that have had more time in the car, so I’m just going to have to go up there, be smart and try to beat them.“ You had a test in the Fiesta this weekend, how did that go? “I tested and went out with the team and we laid out some track at the test spot. It was all on tarmac. It was good. My Rockstar Fiesta is brand new. It just got built so we were breaking it in and getting everything adjusted on it. I think we got it pretty close to where we want it for this weekend. The car is just fun. This is definitely the best rally car I have driven. I just have to get it dialed in to meet my needs. So it was a good test. I ended up blowing about four or five sets of tires off the car. It just has so much power I just blew one of the tires off the wheel. It was pretty cool." Have you had a chance to watch one of the Global Rally Cross events this year? Have you talked with Tanner Foust, do you have any insight into what to expect this weekend? “I talked to Tanner a little bit and he’s always a good teammate, someone that’s always behind to help me out. That’s what I like about him. I’m just going to have to pick his brain at the event.  He always helps me to a point, gives me the basics and leaves it at that. It’s up to me to take no prisoners. Teammate or not I need to win, so that’s the plan.” With the mix of more tarmac and you traditionally doing more of off-road, is this a big adjustment for you? “Yeah, I feel at home on the dirt. I was watching one of the rally races up in Seattle and I’m like ‘That would’ve been a perfect race for me, real soft, choppy and bumpy and picking lines.’ Going out on the tarmac is kind of like a different world to me, but I feel like if I drive my race and I have a strategy for it and I think it’ll work. So I think I’ll be fine. I’ve been racing stock cars quite a bit and that’s all on pavement. I’ve got a good feel for what a tire should do on the maximum grip, finding traction and pushing it to the limit before it breaks lose. I think I’m more prepared for the tarmac this year than I would be last year, for sure.”]]> http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/deegan-takes-on-global-rally-cross/feed/ 0 LOORRS Round 5 & 6 http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/ http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/#comments Fri, 27 May 2011 16:08:30 +0000 Josh http://www.briandeegan.com/?p=1245 Last weekend Deegan competed in Rounds 5 & 6 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.

Metal Mulisha Named Official Casual Sponsor for

Valli-Star Rockstar Yamaha Team 

Leading Supercross and Motocross team will feature Mulisha branding at events throughout 2012 

Irvine, CA (December 28, 2011) - Metal Mulisha will revisit its roots in Supercross and Motocross with an agreement to become the official casual sponsor for the Valli-Star Supercross/Motocross team. As part of the agreement, the team will be seen with the Metal Mulisha logo on their helmets, jerseys and bikes. Led by top riders such as Ryan Sipes, Kyle Cunningham, Austin Stroupe, Gareth Swanepohl, Nico Izzi, Ryan Morris and Kyle Peters, the team will be competing at all 2012 events on the AMA Supercross and Motocross tours. Led by "The General" Brian Deegan, Mulisha recently held the team introduction at the Yamaha test track located in Corona, CA. "I'm pumped about getting back into Supercross and Moto racing with the Valli-Star team," said Metal Mulisha's Brian Deegan. "We're joining forces with a great team that knows how to win, so it will be cool to see them wearing Mulisha on the podium next year." Mulisha has a strong background in both Motocross and Supercross, with founder Brian Deegan starting his career in Supercross at the age of 17, before helping to usher in Freestyle Motocross during the late 1990s. At the LA Coliseum In 1997, Deegan famously won the Supercross Lites race and in true rebel style, ghost rode his bike across the finish line. Many other Mulisha riders, such as Ronnie Faisst and Cam Sinclair, began racing in Supercross early in their careers. Earlier this year, Mulisha expanded into the amateur ranks of Supercross and Motocross with the signing of young rider, Andrew Pierce, who debuted with Mulisha by winning four championships at the Mini Olympics. The AMA Supercross season will kick off January 7th from Anaheim, CA, while the AMA Motocross season begins in May.

Deegan, looking for the next championship to conquer,  took a big chance two years ago climbing into a Fiesta at X Games with only a handful of four-wheel events (truck) on his resume. He finished fourth in the 2009 X Games as a failed turbo cost him an epic semi-final showdown with his arch- rival Travis Pastrana. A year later Deegan returned to X Games, vanquished Pastrana and took second in SuperRally and RallyCross. Back for a third run at X Games rally gold, the 14 time X Games medalist will make his Global RallyCross Championship debut this weekend in Colorado as a tune up for next month’s X Games 17 in LA. This Week in Ford Racing caught up with ‘The General’ and founder of the Metal Mulisha to talk about his rally program. Global-RallyCross-aPikes-Peak-019 You have had the Global RallyCross Championship event on your schedule since early this year as a tune up for X Games. It falls in the middle of the Lucas Oil Off Road Series season in which you are racing a F-150 Raptor. “I’ve definitely had a very busy schedule this year with all the truck racing, riding dirt bikes, stock cars. It’s getting close to X Games and I have to get prepared for RallyCross. Last year, I only had one day of practice for a couple hours and I went in and had a really good race. This year I want to be more prepared, so I’m going to go out to the Global RallyCross at Pikes Peak and try to get more familiar with the car. The Fiesta is definitely a lot different than anything I drive so it’s something I really want to go up there, get a lot of seat time in and use it as a big practice. I will go up there and get the car dialed in for X Games and that’s the plan. I know there are a lot of other guys up there that have had more time in the car, so I’m just going to have to go up there, be smart and try to beat them.“ You had a test in the Fiesta this weekend, how did that go? “I tested and went out with the team and we laid out some track at the test spot. It was all on tarmac. It was good. My Rockstar Fiesta is brand new. It just got built so we were breaking it in and getting everything adjusted on it. I think we got it pretty close to where we want it for this weekend. The car is just fun. This is definitely the best rally car I have driven. I just have to get it dialed in to meet my needs. So it was a good test. I ended up blowing about four or five sets of tires off the car. It just has so much power I just blew one of the tires off the wheel. It was pretty cool." Have you had a chance to watch one of the Global Rally Cross events this year? Have you talked with Tanner Foust, do you have any insight into what to expect this weekend? “I talked to Tanner a little bit and he’s always a good teammate, someone that’s always behind to help me out. That’s what I like about him. I’m just going to have to pick his brain at the event.  He always helps me to a point, gives me the basics and leaves it at that. It’s up to me to take no prisoners. Teammate or not I need to win, so that’s the plan.” With the mix of more tarmac and you traditionally doing more of off-road, is this a big adjustment for you? “Yeah, I feel at home on the dirt. I was watching one of the rally races up in Seattle and I’m like ‘That would’ve been a perfect race for me, real soft, choppy and bumpy and picking lines.’ Going out on the tarmac is kind of like a different world to me, but I feel like if I drive my race and I have a strategy for it and I think it’ll work. So I think I’ll be fine. I’ve been racing stock cars quite a bit and that’s all on pavement. I’ve got a good feel for what a tire should do on the maximum grip, finding traction and pushing it to the limit before it breaks lose. I think I’m more prepared for the tarmac this year than I would be last year, for sure.”]]> http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/deegan-takes-on-global-rally-cross/feed/ 0 LOORRS Round 5 & 6 http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/ http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/#comments Fri, 27 May 2011 16:08:30 +0000 Josh http://www.briandeegan.com/?p=1245 Last weekend Deegan competed in Rounds 5 & 6 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.

Deegan, looking for the next championship to conquer,  took a big chance two years ago climbing into a Fiesta at X Games with only a handful of four-wheel events (truck) on his resume. He finished fourth in the 2009 X Games as a failed turbo cost him an epic semi-final showdown with his arch- rival Travis Pastrana. A year later Deegan returned to X Games, vanquished Pastrana and took second in SuperRally and RallyCross. Back for a third run at X Games rally gold, the 14 time X Games medalist will make his Global RallyCross Championship debut this weekend in Colorado as a tune up for next month’s X Games 17 in LA. This Week in Ford Racing caught up with ‘The General’ and founder of the Metal Mulisha to talk about his rally program. Global-RallyCross-aPikes-Peak-019 You have had the Global RallyCross Championship event on your schedule since early this year as a tune up for X Games. It falls in the middle of the Lucas Oil Off Road Series season in which you are racing a F-150 Raptor. “I’ve definitely had a very busy schedule this year with all the truck racing, riding dirt bikes, stock cars. It’s getting close to X Games and I have to get prepared for RallyCross. Last year, I only had one day of practice for a couple hours and I went in and had a really good race. This year I want to be more prepared, so I’m going to go out to the Global RallyCross at Pikes Peak and try to get more familiar with the car. The Fiesta is definitely a lot different than anything I drive so it’s something I really want to go up there, get a lot of seat time in and use it as a big practice. I will go up there and get the car dialed in for X Games and that’s the plan. I know there are a lot of other guys up there that have had more time in the car, so I’m just going to have to go up there, be smart and try to beat them.“ You had a test in the Fiesta this weekend, how did that go? “I tested and went out with the team and we laid out some track at the test spot. It was all on tarmac. It was good. My Rockstar Fiesta is brand new. It just got built so we were breaking it in and getting everything adjusted on it. I think we got it pretty close to where we want it for this weekend. The car is just fun. This is definitely the best rally car I have driven. I just have to get it dialed in to meet my needs. So it was a good test. I ended up blowing about four or five sets of tires off the car. It just has so much power I just blew one of the tires off the wheel. It was pretty cool." Have you had a chance to watch one of the Global Rally Cross events this year? Have you talked with Tanner Foust, do you have any insight into what to expect this weekend? “I talked to Tanner a little bit and he’s always a good teammate, someone that’s always behind to help me out. That’s what I like about him. I’m just going to have to pick his brain at the event.  He always helps me to a point, gives me the basics and leaves it at that. It’s up to me to take no prisoners. Teammate or not I need to win, so that’s the plan.” With the mix of more tarmac and you traditionally doing more of off-road, is this a big adjustment for you? “Yeah, I feel at home on the dirt. I was watching one of the rally races up in Seattle and I’m like ‘That would’ve been a perfect race for me, real soft, choppy and bumpy and picking lines.’ Going out on the tarmac is kind of like a different world to me, but I feel like if I drive my race and I have a strategy for it and I think it’ll work. So I think I’ll be fine. I’ve been racing stock cars quite a bit and that’s all on pavement. I’ve got a good feel for what a tire should do on the maximum grip, finding traction and pushing it to the limit before it breaks lose. I think I’m more prepared for the tarmac this year than I would be last year, for sure.”]]> http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/deegan-takes-on-global-rally-cross/feed/ 0 LOORRS Round 5 & 6 http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/ http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/#comments Fri, 27 May 2011 16:08:30 +0000 Josh http://www.briandeegan.com/?p=1245 Last weekend Deegan competed in Rounds 5 & 6 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.

Deegan, looking for the next championship to conquer,  took a big chance two years ago climbing into a Fiesta at X Games with only a handful of four-wheel events (truck) on his resume. He finished fourth in the 2009 X Games as a failed turbo cost him an epic semi-final showdown with his arch- rival Travis Pastrana. A year later Deegan returned to X Games, vanquished Pastrana and took second in SuperRally and RallyCross. Back for a third run at X Games rally gold, the 14 time X Games medalist will make his Global RallyCross Championship debut this weekend in Colorado as a tune up for next month’s X Games 17 in LA. This Week in Ford Racing caught up with ‘The General’ and founder of the Metal Mulisha to talk about his rally program. Global-RallyCross-aPikes-Peak-019 You have had the Global RallyCross Championship event on your schedule since early this year as a tune up for X Games. It falls in the middle of the Lucas Oil Off Road Series season in which you are racing a F-150 Raptor. “I’ve definitely had a very busy schedule this year with all the truck racing, riding dirt bikes, stock cars. It’s getting close to X Games and I have to get prepared for RallyCross. Last year, I only had one day of practice for a couple hours and I went in and had a really good race. This year I want to be more prepared, so I’m going to go out to the Global RallyCross at Pikes Peak and try to get more familiar with the car. The Fiesta is definitely a lot different than anything I drive so it’s something I really want to go up there, get a lot of seat time in and use it as a big practice. I will go up there and get the car dialed in for X Games and that’s the plan. I know there are a lot of other guys up there that have had more time in the car, so I’m just going to have to go up there, be smart and try to beat them.“ You had a test in the Fiesta this weekend, how did that go? “I tested and went out with the team and we laid out some track at the test spot. It was all on tarmac. It was good. My Rockstar Fiesta is brand new. It just got built so we were breaking it in and getting everything adjusted on it. I think we got it pretty close to where we want it for this weekend. The car is just fun. This is definitely the best rally car I have driven. I just have to get it dialed in to meet my needs. So it was a good test. I ended up blowing about four or five sets of tires off the car. It just has so much power I just blew one of the tires off the wheel. It was pretty cool." Have you had a chance to watch one of the Global Rally Cross events this year? Have you talked with Tanner Foust, do you have any insight into what to expect this weekend? “I talked to Tanner a little bit and he’s always a good teammate, someone that’s always behind to help me out. That’s what I like about him. I’m just going to have to pick his brain at the event.  He always helps me to a point, gives me the basics and leaves it at that. It’s up to me to take no prisoners. Teammate or not I need to win, so that’s the plan.” With the mix of more tarmac and you traditionally doing more of off-road, is this a big adjustment for you? “Yeah, I feel at home on the dirt. I was watching one of the rally races up in Seattle and I’m like ‘That would’ve been a perfect race for me, real soft, choppy and bumpy and picking lines.’ Going out on the tarmac is kind of like a different world to me, but I feel like if I drive my race and I have a strategy for it and I think it’ll work. So I think I’ll be fine. I’ve been racing stock cars quite a bit and that’s all on pavement. I’ve got a good feel for what a tire should do on the maximum grip, finding traction and pushing it to the limit before it breaks lose. I think I’m more prepared for the tarmac this year than I would be last year, for sure.”]]> http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/deegan-takes-on-global-rally-cross/feed/ 0 LOORRS Round 5 & 6 http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/ http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/#comments Fri, 27 May 2011 16:08:30 +0000 Josh http://www.briandeegan.com/?p=1245 Last weekend Deegan competed in Rounds 5 & 6 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.

Metal Mulisha Named Official Casual Sponsor for

Valli-Star Rockstar Yamaha Team 

Leading Supercross and Motocross team will feature Mulisha branding at events throughout 2012 

Irvine, CA (December 28, 2011) - Metal Mulisha will revisit its roots in Supercross and Motocross with an agreement to become the official casual sponsor for the Valli-Star Supercross/Motocross team. As part of the agreement, the team will be seen with the Metal Mulisha logo on their helmets, jerseys and bikes. Led by top riders such as Ryan Sipes, Kyle Cunningham, Austin Stroupe, Gareth Swanepohl, Nico Izzi, Ryan Morris and Kyle Peters, the team will be competing at all 2012 events on the AMA Supercross and Motocross tours. Led by "The General" Brian Deegan, Mulisha recently held the team introduction at the Yamaha test track located in Corona, CA. "I'm pumped about getting back into Supercross and Moto racing with the Valli-Star team," said Metal Mulisha's Brian Deegan. "We're joining forces with a great team that knows how to win, so it will be cool to see them wearing Mulisha on the podium next year." Mulisha has a strong background in both Motocross and Supercross, with founder Brian Deegan starting his career in Supercross at the age of 17, before helping to usher in Freestyle Motocross during the late 1990s. At the LA Coliseum In 1997, Deegan famously won the Supercross Lites race and in true rebel style, ghost rode his bike across the finish line. Many other Mulisha riders, such as Ronnie Faisst and Cam Sinclair, began racing in Supercross early in their careers. Earlier this year, Mulisha expanded into the amateur ranks of Supercross and Motocross with the signing of young rider, Andrew Pierce, who debuted with Mulisha by winning four championships at the Mini Olympics. The AMA Supercross season will kick off January 7th from Anaheim, CA, while the AMA Motocross season begins in May.

Deegan, looking for the next championship to conquer,  took a big chance two years ago climbing into a Fiesta at X Games with only a handful of four-wheel events (truck) on his resume. He finished fourth in the 2009 X Games as a failed turbo cost him an epic semi-final showdown with his arch- rival Travis Pastrana. A year later Deegan returned to X Games, vanquished Pastrana and took second in SuperRally and RallyCross. Back for a third run at X Games rally gold, the 14 time X Games medalist will make his Global RallyCross Championship debut this weekend in Colorado as a tune up for next month’s X Games 17 in LA. This Week in Ford Racing caught up with ‘The General’ and founder of the Metal Mulisha to talk about his rally program. Global-RallyCross-aPikes-Peak-019 You have had the Global RallyCross Championship event on your schedule since early this year as a tune up for X Games. It falls in the middle of the Lucas Oil Off Road Series season in which you are racing a F-150 Raptor. “I’ve definitely had a very busy schedule this year with all the truck racing, riding dirt bikes, stock cars. It’s getting close to X Games and I have to get prepared for RallyCross. Last year, I only had one day of practice for a couple hours and I went in and had a really good race. This year I want to be more prepared, so I’m going to go out to the Global RallyCross at Pikes Peak and try to get more familiar with the car. The Fiesta is definitely a lot different than anything I drive so it’s something I really want to go up there, get a lot of seat time in and use it as a big practice. I will go up there and get the car dialed in for X Games and that’s the plan. I know there are a lot of other guys up there that have had more time in the car, so I’m just going to have to go up there, be smart and try to beat them.“ You had a test in the Fiesta this weekend, how did that go? “I tested and went out with the team and we laid out some track at the test spot. It was all on tarmac. It was good. My Rockstar Fiesta is brand new. It just got built so we were breaking it in and getting everything adjusted on it. I think we got it pretty close to where we want it for this weekend. The car is just fun. This is definitely the best rally car I have driven. I just have to get it dialed in to meet my needs. So it was a good test. I ended up blowing about four or five sets of tires off the car. It just has so much power I just blew one of the tires off the wheel. It was pretty cool." Have you had a chance to watch one of the Global Rally Cross events this year? Have you talked with Tanner Foust, do you have any insight into what to expect this weekend? “I talked to Tanner a little bit and he’s always a good teammate, someone that’s always behind to help me out. That’s what I like about him. I’m just going to have to pick his brain at the event.  He always helps me to a point, gives me the basics and leaves it at that. It’s up to me to take no prisoners. Teammate or not I need to win, so that’s the plan.” With the mix of more tarmac and you traditionally doing more of off-road, is this a big adjustment for you? “Yeah, I feel at home on the dirt. I was watching one of the rally races up in Seattle and I’m like ‘That would’ve been a perfect race for me, real soft, choppy and bumpy and picking lines.’ Going out on the tarmac is kind of like a different world to me, but I feel like if I drive my race and I have a strategy for it and I think it’ll work. So I think I’ll be fine. I’ve been racing stock cars quite a bit and that’s all on pavement. I’ve got a good feel for what a tire should do on the maximum grip, finding traction and pushing it to the limit before it breaks lose. I think I’m more prepared for the tarmac this year than I would be last year, for sure.”]]> http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/deegan-takes-on-global-rally-cross/feed/ 0 LOORRS Round 5 & 6 http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/ http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/#comments Fri, 27 May 2011 16:08:30 +0000 Josh http://www.briandeegan.com/?p=1245 Last weekend Deegan competed in Rounds 5 & 6 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.

Metal Mulisha Named Official Casual Sponsor for

Valli-Star Rockstar Yamaha Team 

Leading Supercross and Motocross team will feature Mulisha branding at events throughout 2012 

Irvine, CA (December 28, 2011) - Metal Mulisha will revisit its roots in Supercross and Motocross with an agreement to become the official casual sponsor for the Valli-Star Supercross/Motocross team. As part of the agreement, the team will be seen with the Metal Mulisha logo on their helmets, jerseys and bikes. Led by top riders such as Ryan Sipes, Kyle Cunningham, Austin Stroupe, Gareth Swanepohl, Nico Izzi, Ryan Morris and Kyle Peters, the team will be competing at all 2012 events on the AMA Supercross and Motocross tours. Led by "The General" Brian Deegan, Mulisha recently held the team introduction at the Yamaha test track located in Corona, CA. "I'm pumped about getting back into Supercross and Moto racing with the Valli-Star team," said Metal Mulisha's Brian Deegan. "We're joining forces with a great team that knows how to win, so it will be cool to see them wearing Mulisha on the podium next year." Mulisha has a strong background in both Motocross and Supercross, with founder Brian Deegan starting his career in Supercross at the age of 17, before helping to usher in Freestyle Motocross during the late 1990s. At the LA Coliseum In 1997, Deegan famously won the Supercross Lites race and in true rebel style, ghost rode his bike across the finish line. Many other Mulisha riders, such as Ronnie Faisst and Cam Sinclair, began racing in Supercross early in their careers. Earlier this year, Mulisha expanded into the amateur ranks of Supercross and Motocross with the signing of young rider, Andrew Pierce, who debuted with Mulisha by winning four championships at the Mini Olympics. The AMA Supercross season will kick off January 7th from Anaheim, CA, while the AMA Motocross season begins in May.

I know there are a lot of other guys up there that have had more time in the car, so I’m just going to have to go up there, be smart and try to beat them.“ You had a test in the Fiesta this weekend, how did that go? “I tested and went out with the team and we laid out some track at the test spot. It was all on tarmac. It was good. My Rockstar Fiesta is brand new. It just got built so we were breaking it in and getting everything adjusted on it. I think we got it pretty close to where we want it for this weekend. The car is just fun. This is definitely the best rally car I have driven. I just have to get it dialed in to meet my needs. So it was a good test. I ended up blowing about four or five sets of tires off the car. It just has so much power I just blew one of the tires off the wheel. It was pretty cool." Have you had a chance to watch one of the Global Rally Cross events this year? Have you talked with Tanner Foust, do you have any insight into what to expect this weekend? “I talked to Tanner a little bit and he’s always a good teammate, someone that’s always behind to help me out. That’s what I like about him. I’m just going to have to pick his brain at the event.  He always helps me to a point, gives me the basics and leaves it at that. It’s up to me to take no prisoners. Teammate or not I need to win, so that’s the plan.” With the mix of more tarmac and you traditionally doing more of off-road, is this a big adjustment for you? “Yeah, I feel at home on the dirt. I was watching one of the rally races up in Seattle and I’m like ‘That would’ve been a perfect race for me, real soft, choppy and bumpy and picking lines.’ Going out on the tarmac is kind of like a different world to me, but I feel like if I drive my race and I have a strategy for it and I think it’ll work. So I think I’ll be fine. I’ve been racing stock cars quite a bit and that’s all on pavement. I’ve got a good feel for what a tire should do on the maximum grip, finding traction and pushing it to the limit before it breaks lose. I think I’m more prepared for the tarmac this year than I would be last year, for sure.”]]> http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/deegan-takes-on-global-rally-cross/feed/ 0 Brian Deegan » rockstar http://www.briandeegan.com Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:06:19 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Deegan Announces 2012 Supercross Team! http://www.briandeegan.com/news/deegan-announces-2012-supercross-team/ http://www.briandeegan.com/news/deegan-announces-2012-supercross-team/#comments Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:55:07 +0000 Josh http://www.briandeegan.com/?p=1395

Metal Mulisha Named Official Casual Sponsor for

Valli-Star Rockstar Yamaha Team 

Leading Supercross and Motocross team will feature Mulisha branding at events throughout 2012 

Irvine, CA (December 28, 2011) - Metal Mulisha will revisit its roots in Supercross and Motocross with an agreement to become the official casual sponsor for the Valli-Star Supercross/Motocross team. As part of the agreement, the team will be seen with the Metal Mulisha logo on their helmets, jerseys and bikes. Led by top riders such as Ryan Sipes, Kyle Cunningham, Austin Stroupe, Gareth Swanepohl, Nico Izzi, Ryan Morris and Kyle Peters, the team will be competing at all 2012 events on the AMA Supercross and Motocross tours. Led by "The General" Brian Deegan, Mulisha recently held the team introduction at the Yamaha test track located in Corona, CA. "I'm pumped about getting back into Supercross and Moto racing with the Valli-Star team," said Metal Mulisha's Brian Deegan. "We're joining forces with a great team that knows how to win, so it will be cool to see them wearing Mulisha on the podium next year." Mulisha has a strong background in both Motocross and Supercross, with founder Brian Deegan starting his career in Supercross at the age of 17, before helping to usher in Freestyle Motocross during the late 1990s. At the LA Coliseum In 1997, Deegan famously won the Supercross Lites race and in true rebel style, ghost rode his bike across the finish line. Many other Mulisha riders, such as Ronnie Faisst and Cam Sinclair, began racing in Supercross early in their careers. Earlier this year, Mulisha expanded into the amateur ranks of Supercross and Motocross with the signing of young rider, Andrew Pierce, who debuted with Mulisha by winning four championships at the Mini Olympics. The AMA Supercross season will kick off January 7th from Anaheim, CA, while the AMA Motocross season begins in May.

I know there are a lot of other guys up there that have had more time in the car, so I’m just going to have to go up there, be smart and try to beat them.“ You had a test in the Fiesta this weekend, how did that go? “I tested and went out with the team and we laid out some track at the test spot. It was all on tarmac. It was good. My Rockstar Fiesta is brand new. It just got built so we were breaking it in and getting everything adjusted on it. I think we got it pretty close to where we want it for this weekend. The car is just fun. This is definitely the best rally car I have driven. I just have to get it dialed in to meet my needs. So it was a good test. I ended up blowing about four or five sets of tires off the car. It just has so much power I just blew one of the tires off the wheel. It was pretty cool." Have you had a chance to watch one of the Global Rally Cross events this year? Have you talked with Tanner Foust, do you have any insight into what to expect this weekend? “I talked to Tanner a little bit and he’s always a good teammate, someone that’s always behind to help me out. That’s what I like about him. I’m just going to have to pick his brain at the event.  He always helps me to a point, gives me the basics and leaves it at that. It’s up to me to take no prisoners. Teammate or not I need to win, so that’s the plan.” With the mix of more tarmac and you traditionally doing more of off-road, is this a big adjustment for you? “Yeah, I feel at home on the dirt. I was watching one of the rally races up in Seattle and I’m like ‘That would’ve been a perfect race for me, real soft, choppy and bumpy and picking lines.’ Going out on the tarmac is kind of like a different world to me, but I feel like if I drive my race and I have a strategy for it and I think it’ll work. So I think I’ll be fine. I’ve been racing stock cars quite a bit and that’s all on pavement. I’ve got a good feel for what a tire should do on the maximum grip, finding traction and pushing it to the limit before it breaks lose. I think I’m more prepared for the tarmac this year than I would be last year, for sure.”]]> http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/deegan-takes-on-global-rally-cross/feed/ 0 LOORRS Round 5 & 6 http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/ http://www.briandeegan.com/videos/1245/#comments Fri, 27 May 2011 16:08:30 +0000 Josh http://www.briandeegan.com/?p=1245 Last weekend Deegan competed in Rounds 5 & 6 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.
