You're way cooler than I am. 1:00-2:30 is fantasy level for me.

Ok, when was the last time you saw a Mongoose?

Cool clip, I just love what trials guys can do.

That was my thought too regarding Mongoose. I looked at Mongoose's website in the US and UK (since I thought it might be aimed at a UK market) and they really don't offer much outside of BMX bikes. Maybe the cost to sponsor is worth it in sales?

Nevertheless, cool video. Me and my kids love these.

Self cleaning kits are all the rage now! Expect the Rapha pro to run 1299 while the core will be an easier to stomach 999

Fun video to watch, a nice reminder of how unskilled I am as a rider.
