The Superstars of the Metal Mulisha will be hanging it out at the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series season opener in Primm, Nevada on April 4th and 5th as part of the huge short course off road racing extravaganza. Led by Mulisha freestyle stars Jeff “Ox” Kargola, a Winter XGames Medalist, Jimmy Fitzpatrick and Wes Agee, the group will be presenting two of their high flying freestyle demonstrations each day.

“This is all part of our plan to step it up and bring a high level of entertainment for our fans,” said LOORRS’ Tony Vanillo. “The crowd that comes out to our events is going to see it all; hard core short course off road racing and some of the best freestyle motocross riders in the country. We couldn’t be more thrilled in having the Metal Mulisha riders as part of our event. I can’t wait to see these guys in action.”
