Mongoose In Hastings

A few weeks back the Mongoose team spent some time in Hastings, England for the Mongoose Jam they threw at Source Park. While the team was in town, they managed to get plenty of time cruising the local parks and trails! Here’s a look at what they got into with no shortage of dialed riding to enjoy!

“When the Mongoose BMX Team was in England for the Mongoose Am Jam, Greg Illingworth showed them what Hastings had to offer. Watch to see Kevin Peraza, Nikita Ducarroz, Pat Casey, Ben Wallace, Cam Peake and Greg ride the local concrete parks, Sidley trails and Source Park.” – Mongoose

Mongoose Heritage Series: Kevin Peraza

Leave a Comment

Mongoose coming through with another round of their Heritage Series. This time around we follow Kevin Peraza in Tucson, Arizona and Minneapolis, Minnesota to get to know his story of what it was like growing up in Tucson, Arizona and what keeps him rolling with such a hectic schedule. Not only that, but there’s plenty of great riding to take in as well! Check it!

“Mongoose Pro Kevin Peraza is a familiar face in the BMX scene. Weather it’s at his local park in Arizona, or at the biggest events in world, you can always count on Kevin smiling and enjoying life on and off his bicycle.

While it may look like all smiles, being a pro BMXer definitely has its challenges. Kevin has already been on over 50 flights this year getting to contests, demos, and finding places to film. When he’s home he tries to balance spending time with his family, relaxing and, of course, riding his bike more.

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 Kevin in his hometown of Tucson just days before he left to compete at the X Games in Minneapolis, MN. This is the second film in our new series, produced by Human Creative / @HMNcreative” – Mongoose

Mongoose Heritage Series: Nikita Ducarroz

You have probably seen Nikita Ducarroz riding over the past few years, but you probably didn’t know that she’s half Swiss and spent a lot of time in Switzerland growing up. Here’s a video Mongoose dropped giving some insight into Nikita, along with some great riding from a bunch of different parks! Hit play and take this all in. It’s a real good watch!

“Swiss-American rider Nikita Ducarroz has long been a familiar face on top of the podium at the World’s biggest BMX contests.
She’s also no stranger to the challenges faced by every pro rider; whether it’s filming videos, attending press events, constant travel or simply holding it down as a role model to younger riders, Nikita has always gone above and beyond.
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 Nikita for a few days in Switzerland in between two European contests and couldn’t be more proud of her to debut our new series, produced by Human Creative / @HMNcreative” – Mongoose

The other weekend the Mongoose team rolled through Source BMX to throw their AM Jam for the young guns to get a little shine time! They had multiple classes for the different age ranges from 12 and under to over 20, and it’s safe to say the scene over in Hastings is unreal. Hit play to check out highlights from the kids to the Pro team throwing down!

“The inaugural Mongoose Am Jam at legendary Source Park in Hastings, UK, went off! We were absolutely blown away by the response from the local UK BMX community. Riders of all ages, from beginner to pro, showed up to ride the park, meet the team and have a great time. Watch the video to see highlights from the jam-packed day of bikes and fun!”

Leave a Comment

Here’s one for the “Stranger Things” and old school BMX bike fans out there. Here’s a look at the new special edition “Stranger Things” Max bike from Mongoose. This bike is designed to look like the bike from the show, but it’s also just rad looking if you’re a fan of the older style BMX bikes. Check out this promo video Will Stroud produced, then get more details below. This is definitely one that might be worth looking into if you collect old school BMX bikes or just have a kid you want rolling around in style. It’s definitely not built to take the abuse of regular BMX riding, but definitely cool to take a look at!

“Pedal into the world of Stranger Things with the special edition Max bike — available exclusively at Target starting June 30! Modeled after the bike Max Mayfield rides in Season 3 of the show, this bike features tons of rad Mongoose BMX-design elements straight out of the 1980’s.

Whether on the way to school, off to grab the high score at the arcade, or on a mission to save friends, fans will be able to bring the world of the Netflix Original Series Stranger Things to life with this special edition bike!
