Mongoose – A Weekend In NC with Pat Casey

Leave a Comment

Mongoose just dropped this new video featuring Pat Casey having a very productive weekend in North Carolina throwing down at the DDASC park, a few cement parks, Leigh Ramsdell‘s backyard and more! Needless to say, Pat made the most of this short trip!

“Pat Casey went to North Carolina for a weekend to see what the local parks around Raleigh had to offer. The temperature was way colder than Pat is use to but he powered through and came out with a solid video filmed in just a day and a half.”

Alex Johann – They don’t call him “The Lion” for nothing, Alex always gives 110% when he steps foot on his bike and I’m just lucky enough to be there some of those times.

The Last Of Oldscool BMX

Remember Olscool BMX that Hal Brindley and Leigh Ramsdell launched last year? Well, the limited runs of those iconic t-shirts that they revived are running short and they will be closing shop once all of the shirts are gone! If you’re trying to get your hands on any of the shirts, now is the time because they’re all on sale now! Check out what they still have RIGHT HERE!

“The end is near. Last year Leigh and I decided to launch a kickstarter project to print some limited edition reproductions of classic 90’s BMX tee shirt designs from 2B Homecooked Garments, PLAY Clothes, and Useless. You, the supporters, voted for the favorite shirts. Silly videos were made, tee shirts were printed, and fun was had by all. We even threw a couple classic hats into the mix along with bowling shirts, flannels and sweat shirts. But all good things must come to an end.

Now it’s time to close the vaults for good (or maybe until another 20 years has passed). The very last of the Oldscool BMX reproductions are now available for sale on our Etsy shop. Various sizes are disappearing quickly so check the availability chart on the front page of the Oldscool BMX website and then head over to our store and get yours before they’re all gone.

Ready to own your piece of history? See what’s left at the Oldscool BMX shop now.”

Leigh Ramsdell Leaves Eastern Bikes

Eastern Bikes: Leigh Ramsdell Farewell Video from Leigh Ramsdell on Vimeo.

Even with all of the shake ups at Eastern lately, I never once considered that Leigh Ramsdell would be leaving. Leigh has been the corner stone of Eastern’s program for a long time and the fact that he is moving on is a huge deal. Enjoy his farewell edit and read Eastern’s statement below:

“Leigh Ramsdell and Eastern Bikes are parting ways. Both parties are on the same page and friendships remain intact. Leigh has been with Eastern Bikes since 2000 and has had two signature frames, The Ace of Spades and The Night Prowler as will as signature complete bikes, The Ace of Spades and The Ramrodder. He made the transition from Professional rider to Team Manager then finally Media Coordinator. We are sad to see him go, and wish him the best of luck and what ever wacky adventures he gets into. And when we see a wishbone or an archway we will think of his bowed legs. Thanks Leigh! Here is a video from select footage over the years at Eastern. And of course it has to be to Motorhead.”
