JEFF “OX”KARGOLA GOES DOWN IN MEX

On November 14th, 2009 the newest member of the AFMXA, Jeff “OX” Kargola was in a serious accident while pre-running the Baja 1000 in San Felipe Mexico. OX crashed, smashed his belly (probably with the bars digging in) and drove his head into the ground. He says he saw a bush shadow that may have been hiding a rock. His front tire missed it and his back tire hit it sending him into his crash at probably 50mph. He isn’t too sure but he knows he was riding down the highway after the crash through military check points without stopping. OX saved himself. Riding alone he got up and rode to the highway and towards San Felipe, a 45 mile ride. Eventually he got dizzy and was going to crash on the pavement and stopped in the middle of the highway. Some locals stopped and put him in their car and one rode his bike to SF.

At 11:22am the AFMXA received word that Jeff was in a clinic with a laundry list of injuries and we went to work! Medjet assist was called immediately as Dr. Gus Gialama’s stayed in constant contact with the Dr’s at the clinic in Mexico. By 2:45pm Medjet was in the air and Jeff was on his way home to be admitted to Scripps Mercy for proper treatment. He landed in San Diego at 5:03pm and was in surgery by 7:53pm to stop internal bleeding.

Because OX is a member of the AFMXA he knew he could contact us and we were able to assist him in a life threatening situation. We will continue to support him and look forward to his full recovery!

Although his medjet flight was covered by his membership, his hospital stay and surgeries are not. We are currently taking any donations to help support our friend and team member. so donate now at AFMXA.COM

Catching up with Julion

Last weekend Derek Garland, and Nixey Danielson were out in Fontana at the Pepsi 500 putting on a show for all of the die hard NASCAR fans. They guys were out there for two days doing three shows per day. Rain was in the forecast but never quite hit the ground witch made the riding conditions almost perfect! check out MetalMulisha.com to see the video they put together.

Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Derek Garland, Wes Agee and Ryan Hagy were on the road for Five weeks, 25 stops and 75 FMX demos later the Rock Star Mayhem Fest is finally over!! Ryan Hagy our Team Manager/rider reports back to us on the tour. The tour was insane we rode more in 5 weeks then some people do in 5 years. We meet allot of crazy heavy metal rock stars such as Kerry king from SLAYER, Marlin Manson and several others. I would have never thought I would see SLAYER and Marlin Manson live 25 times in a row. I must say that life on the road is allot more fun then sitting in the office. There are no meetings, cooking, laundry bills to be paid!!!. The tour is 5 star thanks to the mayhem production team. For more info on the tour check out metamulisha.com or rockstarmayhemfestival.com

Jimmy Fitzpatrick took part in the first Iron Circus

ryanhagy — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:07:14 +0000

Jimmy Fitzpatrick took part in the first Iron Circus in Santa
Clarita, CA. The event was unlike any other FMX event previously
held. Two teams went head to head in 3 different challenges to earn
points. The team with the most points after three rounds wins. Fitz
was on Team Mulisha with Potter and Scummy. Their challengers were
Team Death Riders with Garrett Ahlf, Jeff Griffin, and Scotty Stephens.

The 3 disciplines were carnival-style games, challenging the riders
to perform acts not normally done on a dirt bike. First, a rider from
each team raced head to head on an oval-track collecting flags. The
first rider back to the finish with all their flags wins. Fitz took
home a win in this challenge. The race was followed by a nose wheelie
contest. Three markers were set 10 feet apart with a bike stand at
one end. Points were earned by riding a nose wheelie from one of the
three distances and successfully landing on the stand. Fitz came
close to landing on the stand, but bike just barely tipped over! For
the final challenge, a long pole was attached to the front fender to
catch rings while riding a wheelie. Fitz caught a few rings and
helped Team Mulisha take home the win.

After Team Mulisha was crowned the winners, all the riders put on a
FMX demo for the fans. The crowd loved the challenges, but the FMX
show is what they really came to see. The fans lined the fences to
get as close as possible to see all the tricks. FItz won over the
crowd with big Double Grab Indian Airs, Cliff Hangers, and Backflips.
He put on an amazing show and helped raise money for charity at the
same time. All proceeds from the event went to charity. Way to go Fitz!
