After parting ways with Haro a little while back, it looks like Pat Casey has found a spot on the Mongoose team! Check out the full press release below to get the full scoop. This should mean we’ll be seeing plenty of Pat throughout the year, as expected.
“Mongoose Adds Pat Casey to BMX Team
Madison, Wis. – February 4, 2016 – Mongoose Bikes, a brand of Dorel Industries, Inc. (TSX: DII.B, DII.A) today announced the addition of pro rider Pat Casey to its BMX team. Casey will join fellow BMX pros Greg Illingworth, Kevin Peraza, Paul Ryan, and Ben Wallace to form the 2016 Mongoose BMX Team.
“I’m honored to be part of the Mongoose team,” said Casey. “When some of my friends, now teammates, asked me if I would be interested in joining the team, I was ecstatic. I’m excited to start 2016 on the Mongoose team, and I will continue to push myself as an athlete and show the brand that they made a great decision choosing me to be part of the Mongoose family.”
At twenty-two years-old, Casey has ridden professionally for nine years. Unveiling difficult tricks, such as the decade backflip, in the middle of contest runs, it did not take long for Casey to get noticed. He has been a crowd-pleaser ever since and has taken podiums at numerous BMX events including X Games, Simple Session, and Red Bull Dreamline.
When not on the contest scene, Casey has personal access to his own backyard set up, a ramp and recently built dirt course which allow him to constantly progress his sport.
“I have watched Pat Casey make his way through the pro ranks, and I could not be happier to have him on the Mongoose team,” said Mongoose Team Manager, Leigh Ramsdell. “He is not afraid to throw down some of the hardest tricks in a contest while making them look stylish. Pat has a good head on his shoulders and will fit in perfectly with the rest of the team. We are glad to have him on board.”
Casey’s teammates are also looking forward to his addition to Mongoose. “Pat Casey’s incredible style and unique riding will make Mongoose stand out in 2016,” mentioned teammate and Mongoose athlete, Kevin Peraza. “We will be a well-rounded team full of awesome athletes who get along and enjoy riding.
“I’m stoked to have Pat as a teammate,” added Peraza. “I’m excited to see how, as a team, we will help motivate the youth of our sport.”
