Mongoose – Heritage Series: Ben Wallace

Mongoose coming through with a new Heritage Series video for you to enjoy. This time around we get a look into Ben Wallace‘s life living here in the U.S with his wife and daughter, the battle with getting Visas sorted out so they can make the permanent move to California. This takes a tour of the camper they’re living in, along with a look at some riding footage from the backyard ramps, skateparks and the X Games this past summer, his workouts and more. This is a real interesting watch, and Ben delivers with some great riding. Hit that play button and take it all in!

“Mongoose Pro Ben Wallace has been turning heads in the BMX contest circuit for years and is showing no signs of slowing down.

It’s not all BMX with Ben though. He’s also a father and a husband, with his wife expecting their second child. Ben and his growing family are still figuring out where they want to live, all while Ben is hitting contests and being a BMX legend!

The Mongoose ‘Heritage’ series is an intimate look behind the scenes into what makes our riders tick, the story of how they got here, and insight into their lives off the bike.
We caught up with Ben in his temporary California home just days before he left to compete at the X Games in Minneapolis, MN. This is the third film in our new series, produced by Human Creative / @HMNcreative” – Mongoose

Bike Swap – Ben Wallace & Paul Ryan

Leave a Comment

Ben Wallace and Paul Ryan swap bikes for a session…

Even though Ben Wallace and Paul Ryan both ride for Mongoose, that’s about where the similarities on their bike setups end. Ben runs a longer bike with brakes, some seat post and plenty of room for his height, geared toward ramps and trails. Paul runs a tighter setup with no brakes, a little slack in the chain and is geared toward street. These two guys swapped bikes for a session and needless to say, it was pretty funny watching them try to adjust to the different setups. Even though it was weird, it looks like they had little trouble getting some clips!

“It’s crazy how different someone else’s can bike feel even with subtle differences in geometry–let alone an entirely different setup style. With the Mongoose Jam 2018 at Woodward in full swing, Paul Ryan and Ben Wallace had some fun with their warm up session by swapping bikes for a bit. Their bikes couldn’t be much more different—and Paul’s bike is like half the size of Ben’s—but they adjusted almost immediately and started to shred.
