-
Metal
Mulisha

is
happy to announce its newest member to the family, starting this
weekend at the Monster Cup in Las Vegas. Supercross/Motocross rider
Andrew Pierce from Huffman, TX will be the first in a long line of
amateur stars to join the Mulisha squad.



The
15-year-old Pierce has been a fixture on the amateur motocross series
these last few years, dominating the Loretta Lynn's Amateur National
Motocross Championships since 2008, when he placed 1st overall in 65
Modified (ages 7-11) and 3rd overall in 65 Stock (10-11). At the
recent 2011 championships, he placed 5th overall in Super Mini
(12-15) and 3rd overall in 85 Stock (12-14). Pierce qualified for the
Monster Cup by finishing in the top 15 of the Super Mini class at
this year's national championships.



"Joining
the Mulisha team is really a dream come true for me, I've been
following these guys since I first got onto a dirtbike as a kid in
Texas," said Pierce. "Putting on the Mulisha logo this
weekend will be a great feeling and I plan earn my Mulisha stripes in
Vegas."




Pierce
will be wearing Mulisha MSR riding gear, as well as casual gear, at
all upcoming events, which include the Mini Olympics, Loretta Lynns,
Ponca City, Oak Hill, Mammoth and the World Minis. 



"We're
always looking for the future of Mulisha out there and Andrew has
been impressing us for a few years now," said Deegan. "It's
great to see young riders like Andrew taking his sport to the next
level, which is what Mulisha has been about since day one."




The
Monster Cup will feature some of the best riders in the country,
competing for a $1 million prize. The invite-only event will take
place at Sam Boyd Stadium, with a hybrid track that will consist of
supercross and motocross terrain, playing well to Pierce's strengths.
Pierce will be competing alongside other future stars in the
Super-Mini class.

About
Metal Mulisha


Known
for winning gold medals, breaking world records, and turning industry
tradition upside down through the sport of freestyle motocross, pro
riders Brian Deegan and Larry Linkogle launched Metal Mulisha
Clothing in 1999. What began as a group of friends riding dirt bikes
in Metal Mulisha gear and competing to see who could do the best
tricks has grown into one of the most recognized and respected brands
in action sports. Metal Mulisha's winning form in freestyle
competitions like the X Games has helped spread the brand's
take-no-prisoners style and attitude to a growing audience around the
world.



Metal
Mulisha speaks the language of nonconformity with distinctive graphic
tees, jerseys, boardshorts, fleece, tanks, denim and accessories. A
regular name at events including the Red Bull X Fighters, Rock Star
Mayhem Tour, and the Dew Tour, the Mulisha team boasts an A-list
roster of well-known riders, including founder Brian Deegan,
innovator of the "Mulisha Twist;" Supercross/Motocross
rider Josh Grant, and highly decorated freestyle riders, Ronnie
Faisst, Todd Potter, Taka Higashino, Jacko Strong Ryan Hagy and the
late Jeremy Lusk. Metal Mulisha has also made its mark outside FMX,
forming partnerships with MMA fighters Renato " Babalu"
Sobral, Jason MacDonald and Dan Henderson, as well as metal band

expanding into various product collaborations with major brands like
Rock Star Energy and Etnies. Metal Mulisha can be found at over 2000
