Metal Mulisha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Founded in 1996, the Metal Mulisha were originally formed by Freestyle Motocross riders Brian Deegan and Larry Linkogle. Both were originally Supercross riders who left the racing scene after tiring of the rules and regulations of the sport. The Metal Mulisha became a driving force behind the FMX movement since the beginning. Known for their rebellious attitude and crazy antics the Mulisha have created a popular image in the action sports scene. What started off as small group of riders enjoying what they do best has since turned into an international business that sells clothing, accessories and motorcycle graphics. The Metal Mulisha have recently been on several tours alongside the Crusty Demons but have recently decided to break away and have their own tour. Some members of the group have appeared in the TV Show Viva La Bam during its fifth season.

Nazi symbolism and iconography
Various Metal Mulisha logos contain Nazi iconography and symbolism, such as skulls wearing Wehrmacht heer helmets. Another example is the letter "s" in "Mulisha" displayed as a Sig Rune, which appears in the insignia of the Schutzstaffel (SS) of Nazi Germany.
