Mongoose In The Carolinas

Leave a Comment

Despite COVID, the Mongoose team was able to get together to spend some time riding some hidden gems around North and South Carolina this past summer. Here’s a look at what the crew got into during the trip! This also doubles as a welcome video for Mykel Larrin that we are really stoked about. Hit play to check out the riding, along with insights from the team about the trip!

“The Mongoose freestyle team traveled to the Carolina’s to check out the new 2021 Legion series. While we had them out there, Team Manager Leigh Ramsdell played tour guide and took them around to discover the hidden riding gems that this region has to offer. They even crept into South Carolina for a once-in-a-lifetime session at Whipsnake! Watch this video to see all the spots Kevin Peraza, Nikita Ducarroz, Pat Casey and our newest team rider, Mykel Larrin, rode!” – Mongoose

Leave a Comment

We’re always stoked to check out a new Greg Illingworth video! The crew at Mongoose released this new one of Greg unleashing his style in the woods. Hit play for 2 minutes of trails goodness rom Greg and a few friends!

“The Woods have been my sanctuary during this year of uncertainty and restrictions. It’s a place where I can create lines and constantly improve on them. It’s somewhere I can connect with nature, feed my soul and push my body. There’s nothing better than getting to the end of a run where my bike, body, trails and the surroundings have felt like one connected organism. That’s the feeling I strive for whenever I’m heading in to the woods but any day in the woods is a good day really.” – Greg Illingworth

Mongoose – Ben Wallace Dirt

Leave a Comment

There has been an uptick in trails videos popping up lately, so that’s always a perk to the fall weather. Mongoose just dropped this banger featuring Ben Wallace throwing down with his deep bag of tricks and style for miles in this fresh BMX video that you definitely will not want to pass up! Hit play and take in all the goodness.

“If you were one to catch Ben’s Heritage video last year you’ll already know he’ll choose to ride dirt any day of the week…
And just as well; Ben’s signature mix of original tricks and clean style all at height make his riding a site to behold.
After several years in the USA, there’s something extra refreshing about just witnessing Ben do his thing at the set of trails he grew up riding in the UK. Sit back and relax…

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

Mongoose – Day In The Life of Nikita Ducarroz

Leave a Comment

Mongoose caught up with Nikita Ducarroz to follow her for a Day In The Life. Nikita made the move to North Carolina to spend her days training, and it looks like it was a full day of riding and training. Hit play to see what she gets into!

“After staying out in Holly Springs, North Carolina at the start of 2020, Nikita decided to make the move and become a permanent resident. “I just really loved the vibe, the park, and the routine here at Daniel Dher’s park, and with Olympics coming up (now moved to 2021) I thought it would be a great opportunity to step up my riding even more and learn from everyone out here”. Along with Daniel Wedemeijer as her coach for Tokyo, Nikita now lives and trains with a small group of Olympic-bound riders who all have a common goal. Just before the lockdown hit, Nikita takes you along on her typical day in North Carolina with the crew.” – Mongoose

Hit play to check out a bunch of front end balance, dialed lip trick combos and more! Cam doesn’t disappoint with this one.

“Mongoose rider, Cam Peake can do just about anything on his bike. He’s no stranger to big airs but can do some of the most difficult technical riding out there! Here are a few clips of Cam in Arizona when he was out there with the team for the Mongoose Am Jam in Tuscon.” – Mongoose

Mongoose dropped a new Heritage Series video! This time around we get some insight on Pat Casey‘s life from riding and traveling to his family life and more. This one takes us from Hastings, England to his backyard ramps in California and more with plenty of dialed riding and fun mixed in from start to finish. Take a peek!

“Mongoose Pro Pat Casey rides his bike in a way like no other. He goes big, crashes hard, gets back up, and does it again until he pulls it off perfectly.

But Pat isn’t just a burly BMX rider. He’s also a husband and a father, with a son and daughter. His son, Reid, is following in his dad’s footsteps riding his bike with the same fearless ambition!

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 Pat in his Californian home and got a real peak into what it’s like to be Pat. This is the fourth film in our new series, produced by Human Creative / @HMNcreative” – Mongoose
