Mongoose in South Africa
This is definitely a MUST SEE of the day. So good.
“Paul Ryan and James Ivett spent 2 weeks in South Africa with Greg Illingworth and Stuart Loudon taking in the sites, getting some riding in and having a good time. The full write can be found in issue 160 of Ride BMX UK.”
Mongoose: Know Your Roots Trailer
No, this isn’t the trailer for the Mongoose “Know Your Roots” road trip that dropped a few weeks ago.

This one goes all the way back to the start and I think some of you newer kids to BMX will get some insight from this. The actual film is dropping next in September. This one looks like it will be interesting.
