Yeah it is. How awesome would it be to see him come out and race at a vets race. He would surely still have some speed. I aint much of a fan of freestyle MX, but understand what he has achieved on that front. One of the best bits of any MX vid ever made, is when he hits that step up, that him and McGrath and Ryno and that crew had been sizing up. 5th gear tapped wide, you cant lose !!!

I think he's tattooing now on the side isn't he? Other than that he was doing the whole MOB Syndicate thing and training for X17 before he wadded himself up real bad in the middle of July. Wasn't he doing some wierd infomercial too a couple of years ago? Always a busy dude it seems....

I know he's been doing a little bit of riding and was at a Tattoo event up in Ventura I believe. Used to watch him ride at his house in Canyon Lake all the time back when he was racing Supercross.
Good dude and talented on a bike.

Funny, just got a text from our Race Tech distributor in Canada last night saying he was getting a KTM ready with suspension on it for Metzger who was heading up to do a ride day/signing with one of his sponsors north of the border and was giong to do some riding of his own while there.therealjonon wrote: anyone know what he is up to??
