BMX Is the best. I was annoyed at first to find so much mess up at the park this morning. Then I tidied up a little and used part of the mess for a session. Shopping trolleys are a common find on a Sunday morning up at Hastings skatepark! This time no one else was around, so moved it about and had a session.

Mongoose has signed Sophia Foresta to join their pro BMX team. In addition to joining team Mongoose, Sophia has accepted the role of Marketing Coordinator at the USA BMX Foundation where she will champion the USA BMX educational programming at schools across the United States. "I am so excited to join the Mongoose/USA BMX Foundation team,” said Sophia. “The ability to combine my two passions of BMX racing and education is a dream come true, and I am so thankful for the opportunity. See you at the track!"

In 2019, Mongoose became a partner with the USA BMX Foundation to help extend their programming in elementary schools. The programs USA BMX Foundation developed were directly in-line with the Mongoose core values and vision – to get more kids access to bikes, growing the sport of cycling. Looking towards 2021, Mongoose and USA BMX Foundation plan to continue their momentum and Sophia is the perfect addition to the team. Sophia comes to Mongoose from GT, another brand under the Dorel Sports umbrella, where she competed for over a decade.

Mongoose has signed three BMX racers – Cameron Wood (18), Payton Ridenour (17), and Mason Hayes (11) – to ride for the brand in 2020. Mongoose AA Pro rider Justin Posey selected the talented trio of young riders to form a team that is impressive both on and off the track. When not racing, these athletes will continue the Mongoose’s efforts to grow the sport of BMX through education. In 2019, Mongoose partnered with the USA BMX Foundation to have Justin Posey ride for the brand while he also served as the Foundation’s Marketing Coordinator. This partnership helped bring more attention to the Foundation’s STEM education programs for elementary age children around the country. And, after a successful first year of the partnership and race program, Mongoose is adding more athletes to the BMX race team in 2020.

“I’m thrilled to have three amazing riders join the Mongoose race team. They are excellent riders, but

While the Mongoose BMX Team was in town for the Mongoose Am Jam in Tucson, Arizona, back in October, Kevin Peraza showed the team around the city riding some of his favorite spots from his youth.

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.
