One of the coolest parts of the Mongoose Jam is the camper selection session. It all goes down during the Woodward camper jam where the Mongoose teams watch the action and discuss which rider they want to have join their team. It doesn’t have to be the best riders with the hardest tricks, either—the only criteria is that all the riders have to be actual campers. The level of riding at the Mongoose Jam 2017 Camper Selection Session was super high, and in the end, the five campers who got picked to ride and film with some of the sickest pro riders and filmers were Ren Ota from Japan, TJ Ettinger, Jack Seeley, Oliver Foster, and Jacob Senger.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
