VIDEO & News from Mike Metzger!
Freestyle pioneer Mike Metzger has received less attention in recent years than before. However, the 'godfather' has not been sitting still. Metzger got married, had a child, enjoyed other disciplines (supermoto, road racing) and is working hard with Metzger Unlimited, his own clothing brand. In addition to talent on a motorcycle, Mike also has a lot of creative talent because he makes most of the designs for Metzger Unlimited himself. In the meantime, 'Metz' is also working on a revealing autobiography entitled 'The Godfather of FMX'.
The Mob Syndicate!
As if that wasn't enough, Metzeger also returned to his Freestyle roots in 2010. Under the name “Mob Syndicate” he has founded a new team that will give demos to promote freestyle riders and Metzger Unlimited. Metzger himself will be the manager of the team and he promises that it will not be a team like a dime a dozen. To emphasize this, he wants to impose a code of conduct to guarantee creativity, safety and loyalty to the team.
“It's time for change,” says Metzger. “I will be looking for new FMX talent myself and this is my way of giving something back to the sport that I helped create more than 10 years ago.” The composition of the team is not yet known, but the gentlemen already had a nice outing this weekend at the Ocotillo Wells. Freeride in the desert like in the good old days.
