Mongoose pro Mykel Larrin made a trip to Colorado to film an all-dirt BMX edit entitled, Pure Intentions. Here’s the inspiration for the edit from Mykel himself:
It started with planned trip to Texas for the 3rd stop of the USA BMX Freestyle series – but then we got a DM from Cody Hennings. Cody is a local rider in the Dallas/Fort Worth area who also happens to own a private indoor ramp-filled warehouse called the Safehouse. We quickly took him up on his offer to check out Safehouse, and team Mongoose headlined by Mykel Larrin and Ben Wallace spent a full day riding this BMX utopia!
If you follow Mykel Larrin on Instagram, then you probably noticed that it seems like he's everywhere. On any given day, he's grinding a bench in downtown San Diego, roasting a hip at a park, blasting the vert ramp at Clairemont, cruising the jumps at Sweetwater Bike Park and/or finishing off the night bumping elbows on a race bike at San Diego BMX Racing.
"This shirt was produced by Mongoose Bicycles and handed to us at La Revolution Cafe to put out in the world so we can help to alleviate some of Mykel Larrin's medical bills from his accident he was in at the end of the year. This is a quality District V.I.T Pocket T, With a graphic on the back of Mykel's epic photo on his first Mongoose Team trip/video stylized from the photo it even includes his XIX87 logo. The front pocket has the Iconic Mongoose "M" logo and Mykel's initial signature. Each shirt will come with a special little note from Mykel and numbered issue for the 100 produced. Originally designed on a white tee but also available in a light heather grey."

I’m super grateful to have Mykel represent Mongoose and BMX in general!”
