Leave a Comment

The Mongoose Heritage Series continues! This time around they follow Greg Illingworth from Hastings, England to where he’s originally from, South Africa, giving us a look at riding, what he’s doing off his bike and more. Greg has been crushing it for years and has been helping push and grow BMX all along the way. This is a super good watch, so hit play and take it all in.

“Mongoose pro Greg Illingworth had a unique journey in finding his BMX career. Before his career took off, Greg had to make a difficult choice to leave his beautiful home country of South Africa to make his dream happen. In this episode, we get to follow Greg around his current residence of Hastings, UK, and also get a glimpse of what it was like to grow up in South Africa and go back there to ride. This is a super good watch, so hit play and take it all in!

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 Greg in his Hastings home as well as taking a trip to his home country, South Africa and got a real peak into what it’s like to be Greg. This is the fifth film in our new series, produced by Human Creative / @HMNcreative” – Mongoose BMX

Now this is what’s up! A heavy hitting crew took a trip to South Africa to explore the spots, take in the sights and absolutely crush everything they came across from street spots and ditches to cement parks and more. Here’s a look at what they got into with a ton of dialed clips, and plenty of laughs and good times along the way. If you like speed and style, this is the BMX video for you.

“An absolutely stacked squad of Greg Illingworth, Boyd Hilder, Dan Lacey, Murray Loubser, Jason Watts, and Corey Walsh trip around South Africa, riding some of the best ditches, pools and street spots in the world!
