The Iron Circus is Coming to Town
Combining freestyle motocross, comedy and music, this action-packed event will raise money for LETMESAIL
LETMESAIL (Lifestyle Enrichment Through Meaningful Exercise, Social Activity and Independent Living) is proud to announce an exciting new fundraising event scheduled to take place at the Saugus Speedway on Saturday, May 30.
Presented by Metal Mulisha Events, the Iron Circus features six, top-tier professional freestyle motocross athletes performing an electrifying array of mid-air tricks thirty-five feet in the air across a seventy-five foot gap. The Iron Circus is a thrilling blend of high-flying freestyle motocross, motorcycle stunts, comedy and music, which will provide a memorable night of entertainment for the entire family. You’ll be left in awe by the sights and sounds of the Iron Circus. The show kicks off at 8:00pm with a special guest appearance by Asphalt Messiah, 2008 Best Rock Nominee for the Hollywood Music Awards.
“We are thrilled that Metal Mulisha Events is partnering with LETMESAIL to raise funds and awareness about people with special needs,” said Pam Sorlagas, Executive Director of LETMESAIL. “The audience will no doubt be awestruck by the sights and sounds of the Iron Circus, an action-packed event showcasing some of today’s most compelling freestyle motocross riders.”
All proceeds from this event will benefit LETMESAIL, a Santa Clarita-based 501(c) non-profit organization which offers therapeutic, social, recreational, and educational programs for its “differently-abled” clients and whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with special needs.
LETMESAIL would like to thank their generous sponsors, without whom this event would not be possible. Saugus Speedway, Fresh Element Marketing, MB2 Raceway, Sport Clips, The Signal, Factory MX, Star Detail, Racer X Illustrated, American Medical Response and J & M Entertainment.

Mission Statement
The mission of LETMESAIL is to provide therapeutic, social, recreational, and educational opportunities for differently-abled individuals with disabilities (and their family members) enabling them to maximize their potential to lead a more independent, healthy, and enriched quality of life through a wide variety of activities held on-site at its Lifestyle Enrichment Center as well as a myriad of community-based activities.
People with disabilities have many talents, skills, capabilities, and unique traits. These talents and abilities can be used positively to benefit themselves and society. These individuals are not so much disabled as they are differently "abled", and as such deserve a quality lifestyle where they can reach their full potential as human beings. By empowering differently-abled individuals with skills, knowledge, and opportunities, we are encouraging them to be self-sufficient and optimize their potential to lead an enriched, independent lifestyle.
All of the program components of LETMESAIL are designed to increase the social, mental and physical wellbeing of individuals with disabilities and their family members. Differently-abled participants will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of therapeutic, recreational, social and educational opportunities throughout the year. The goals of LETMESAIL are designed to address the needs of both clients and family members.
