If Mike Metzger says it’s cool, then it must be pretty freaking god damn cool.

OK, so Metzger didn’t actually tell New Times that the third annual AZ American Freestyle Motocross Championship is the cat’s pajamas. However, the FMX rider of various fames – he won the X-Games’ Freestyle and Big Air events in 2002, and in 2006, he did that “The Impossible Jump” back flip thing over the fountains of Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace – is guest judging the motocross bash at SpeedWorld MX Park. The event, hosted by Cast In Ink Girls, will also feature face-time with 2009 pro winner Robert Distler.
