Disposable Hero: The Brian Deegan Story

2006 · 54 min · Documentary, Action

Disposable Hero documents Brian's journey from hospital beds to podium tops!!! No one in freestyle has had it as good and as bad as Brian Deegan. Brian has collected more X Games and Gravity Games medals than any other competitor. He's appeared on the cover of Racer X Illustrated, Transworld Motocross & FreeriderMX. Features of him have appeared in not only these motocross industry related magazines but in FHM, ESPN The Magazine, DUB and Rolling Stone. Yet at the same time, he's accumulated more X-Rays, Pins, Rods, Plates, Casts, Gashes, and screws than most freestyle motocross riders. To top it all off, he most recently lost a kidney and severely injured his spleen while filming for MTV's Viva La Bam. "Disposable Hero motivates you to throw away your crutches and kick the weak in their ass, The Grim Reaper was at the door and Deegan did not answer." - Jerry Bernardo

Push It To The Limit

MovieDocumentary

A freestyle motocross video that captures FMX at its most raw and reckless. Rather than a traditional narrative, the film is a high-energy montage of massive jumps, emerging tricks, crashes, and behind-the-scenes moments, spotlighting riders pushing both their bikes and bodies past the edge. Shot in a gritty, DIY style and cut to aggressive music, it reflects the outlaw ethos of the era, where progression mattered more than polish. More time capsule than documentary, the film exists to celebrate risk, spectacle, and the anything-goes attitude that defined freestyle motocross at its peak.
