Brian Deegan

At a young age, Deegan developed a passion for racing. Growing up in a small town in Nebraska, Brian wasn't into football so instead he rode dirt bikes. He soon realized he had a talent and wanted to pursue his dream. After graduating from, high school, he told his father to give him one year and if it didn't work out then he would come back home and go to college. With his dreams in front of him and Nebraska in the dust he headed for California on a credit card, old truck and his dirt bike. Turning pro at Age 17, Brian rode his way onto a super cross team. In 1997 at the LA Coliseum, Brian won the 125cc main and in true rebel fashion, ghost rode his bike across the finish line. this was the beginning of what we know today as Freestyle Motocross. Brian Deegan founded a group called the Metal Mulisha and despite numerous broken bones and almost dying 3 times, went on to win 10 X-games medals. In his most recent near death experience Brian lost his kidney and severely injured his spleen while filming for Viva La Bam. Today FMX is recognized across the world as one of the premiere events in X-Games. You can expect to see many more wins from Brian Deegan and the Metal Mulisha team, this isn't just another hobby for Brian, its his life.
