The Mongoose BMX team was getting sick of riding in the cold, winter weather so they decided to head to someplace warm. The chosen spot was Costa Rica! It was sunny, warm and was exactly what we needed! With tour guide Kenneth Tencio in tow Kevin Peraza, Pat Casey, Paul Ryan, Ben Wallace, Greg Illingworth and Tom Isted got to check out the lovely Costa Rica and the amazing riding spots it had to offer!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
