Back in the early 90′s who would have thought that a young man from New Jersey would go on to become one of the elite athletes in Freestyle Motocross. The Mays Landing, NJ native took to motocross racing and at one time was one of the top riders in the Northeast winning at all of the popular local tracks like Raceway Park and Sleepy Hollow. After turning pro in 1995 and racing local Nationals and Supercrosses California was calling and in 1997 Faisst packed up his life and moved West. The Freestyle scene was just getting started and Faisst and his outgoing personality were a perfect fit. Touted as one of freestyle motocrosses pioneers Faisst connected with fellow motocrosser turned freestyler Brian Deegan and was one of the founding members of the famous Metal Mullisha.
