• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Husky Goes Electric...sorta!

Brian Deegan and the Metal Mulisha Silently Flip Out
Metal Mulisha Electric Dirt Bike Backflips

Quantya Electric Dirt Bike and helmet cam footage of electric dirt bike backflips! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIj8zMEJskI (turn the volume up!):thumbsup:

Apparently, the Metal Mulisha is not scared of their inherent tendecy to conduct vast amounts of electricity.

If their name was the Rubber Rebels or the Plastic Posse, I could see them being so loosey-goosey about this Electric Dirt Bike thing. But their the METAL MULISHA for crying out loud! I hope they're insulated.

Honestly, there is no concern. I just couldn't resist the metal-electricity joke. Electric Dirt Bikes like the Quantya seen here are perfectly safe with pretty much zero risk of shock--except for how shockingly fun they are. And we know, we've tested the juice out of them (check out the July issue of Dirt Rider--out in a few weeks).

So, back to how cool the backflip photos are. Well, Damon Geller, SoCal's Quantya rep sent us these shots the other day and we thought we'd share them. According to Geller, Deegan and the guys were pretty stoked on the quiet FMX session.

Geller himself even jumped at the chance to hit the foam pit and busted out some very respectable attempts (although he's quick to give the credit to the Mulisha for making it look so easy!). Check out Geller's helmet cam footage of his jumps and get a feel for what it's like to sink into a foam pit.
 
Like i said, they get those things to go 50-70 miles I'll be all over one. i think they are cool.

Me too. Last fall a buddy and I went for a ride. There was this 3-4 mile stretch of mellow 2 track that was a consistent down hill grade. We both killed our motors and just coasted the whole way. To me that was the funnest part of the whole ride. We could talk back and forth, we surprised I don't even know how many deer and elk. The feeling of gliding through the air with only the sound of the tires on the ground was something I could definately go for more often.
