Name: Justin Posey
Sponsors: Mongoose Bicycles, Answer BMX, USA BMX Foundation, Fly Racing, Potter Racing Products
Mechanic: Myself, and I am not very good haha.

How long have you been riding for Mongoose now?
Justin Posey: 2 years! It's been a dream come true.

Are you handling the TM duties as well?
Justin Posey: Sorta kinda. I am helping the race side of things. Leigh Ramsdell is still the TM for the entire Mongoose brand, but I have been helping as much as I can!

How does it feel getting to pick the riders?
Justin Posey: I am honored to take on that responsibility. I take pride in picking riders that are not only fast and stylish, but are great people off the track. Individuals that set good examples, are ambassadors, and promote not only Mongoose and the sponsors to the best of their abilities, but education (which we are very passionate about)!

How do you like the feel and look of your bike?
