Well it’s Thursday and Chris Ackerman sent over a piece of Mulisha history from his arsenal of photos for this week’s ‘Throwback‘ with the OG himself, Ronnie Faisst.
The Road Trip:
Here’s a photo of Ronnie doing a HUGE one hander back in 2000 at the Lake Elsinore MM Compound. We took off from the Compound on a road trip for Bluetorch that came to a end in Las Vegas at Carey Hart’s house.
The Brawl:
We did a huge demo at the Irvine Spectrum in SoCal. The day started out a great with all our riders killing it. Faisst was doing ridiculous tricks like his signature Shaolin but the event quickly turned into a full blown riot when an “unnamed” professional BMX rider threw a full beer on Deegan. The whole crew propped their bikes up against the chain-link fence in order to hop over it and proceed to beat up the “unnamed” BMXer along with anyone who had anything to say about it. Needless to say after that the score was Mulisha #1… everyone else involved.. 0!
Rolling In Style:
When Ronnie first moved out here from New Jersey to pursue his FMX career, he had a silver front tooth. In the proper sunlight this thing would produce a gnarly glare, and a bad ass Gold Van (not pictured). To put it properly, he was and still is the epitome of style!
Text Book:
A great picture from early 2001 by Garth Milan of Ronnie doing a rather large Cordova!
VIP Status:
Ronnie and I backstage at a Wu-Tang show in Hollywood.
