Sick video. Very nice riding of course

Ain't no mongoose, it's just a Cannondale Gemini in disguise and with some supports... looks good though. Great vid
Why the fuk does mongoose keep tryin???your shit sux,i dont seem to get how they can get legit riders on their team oh yeah i forgot money...i guess selling all those bikes at target and toy r us really paid off...u know its bad when your factory team riders have to be forced to ride other companies bikes with your stickers on it....THE VID WAS BAD ASS AND SO WAS THE RIDING I MISS MOAB!!!!SUX IT HAD TO BE A MONGOOSE VID
Seriously, people need to shut the f**k up and stop slating mongoose. It's a perfectly fine bike company, it's just that people think it's "cool" to hate the brand, just as it's "cool" to hate Kona and Norco (over here in the UK mainly). Steve McCann rides BMX for mongoose, he's amazing. They also have Eric Carter, Andrew Neethling and Simon Tabron who are well-known names. Sure, they all get paid, but a rider is not going to accept sponsorship from a s**t brand who he won't suceed and develop with just because of the money. These companies sell bikes well and put a lot into the sport. The fact that they are more common must mean that they have a better value:spec ratio.
I don't know why Specialized dropped Romaniuk, the video was sweet. Shame we had to dickheads commenting below it.

Dude (Samuelbelly), can you rewrite this in English...I don't quite understand what you're saying...and probably not the only one. Steve Romaniuk YOU ROCK!!!
sweet video, the new goose is looking sick! And if anyone is wondering, which im sure they will, the song is 'witness the fitness' by roots manuva.
haha romo is still god but man do i miss him on a demo.. hes not the god he used to be.. still a awesome rider.. he hasnt gone big lately..
[Reply]
I honestly can't believe Specialized let him go! How can you not re-sign such a amazingly smooth and talented rider? Their loss but personally I think he should be on a better brand than Mongoose. They are good but he deserves his Demo back.
mongoose is ok. just becouse they are not famous, all people think that they are junk. but no i had previous year mongoose black diamond and im really happy about that...i rides better that demo and s trail. i tested them all!
the thing is though, they are famous. they are notorious for making piece of shit department store bikes which they have been selling in the states for years and years. until recently it was a joke to even see someone riding one, let alone own one. I'm sure their high end stuff is fun to ride, but it takes a lot to change peoples established ideas about a product.
I totally agree. I guess I am one of those people though. I will never really like the brand, and you wont catch me riding one but I also don't have anything against them. I bet they make a tone of cash on department store bikes. DH is probably a small amount of revenue. After saything that the bike does look pretty chill and I don't have anything against the people that ride them because I bet they can ride better then me. The video and the song was great.
Oh yeah and the department store bikes rake in some good cash for bike shops. They always have pretty cheap parts and are never setup correctly. Then once people see waht a good job you did hopefully they will stop by to get their next bike and skip the middle step of getting it fixed. That is hopefully the age of 16 and the car doesn't suck them away from biking.
wow sick!!!
this is amazing!
steveee has so much style!!
i want to see more crazy stuff like this from ROMO

Sick riding... looks soo easy but dunno why those straight handle bars came back... don't like them... Sick VIDEO
[Reply]
Oh yeah, Special--ed was soooo goood...That's why nearly everyone who's ever had one knows how the Specialized warantess system works(rolleyes). Go look for a few broken Goose rigs, THEN go look for a few snapped Specialized bikes! And I can't remember the last time I've EVER seen a rider on the podium holding his fuking Specialized over his head, Not gonna happen.
And Steve didn't tun into a pussy, he grew the hell up, some of you kids should try it.
I've ridden Demo 8s and SX Trails for the last 2-3 years, bought a Black Diamond triple last summer and was SOLD. I sold it to make way for an ECD for 2008, soon selling that to get a Pinn'R and a Nugget.
Mongoose for Life!
And "lo rise" bars are for function, not for looks! People who actually RIDE bikes know this. You won't even find a true racer with a bar height over 40". Get with the program chillins...

Well put my man.... You could tell a difference b/w the 4th and 5th seasons of Drop-In that Romo grew up. I think getting dropped from special-ed was the best thing that could've happened to him as a rider.
i don't know why you're harshing on specialized, but the fact remains that they have a few of the sickest bikes out there. i dunno why they dropped steve though... at least specialized doesn't have shit bikes in department stores. they make a good product, and their frame warranty is sick.
Yea Roots Manuva remix is from the 'Scratch Perverts'
Awesome tune and great vid, good to see SR in action.

Rommy - Keep Going Biiiig !!
Rommy - Keep Going Biiiig !!
watching Romo ride NEVER gets old. this dude is a PIONEER of freeride, no doubt.
he may not be the best slopestyler (yes i know, i just watched him do a backflip and a 360), but he will go bigger than most flippity-doo-daa riders will.
steve is a true sender, show off those moto roots! ....mad BALLS, mad SKILLS. keep rippin' romaniuk.

I ride EC-D and it's f*ckin awsome! can't wait to try their new dh frame that Neethling is testing right now.
mongoose have been around since day one, sure not all the bikes thay have done have been so good but what about dennis mcoy riding for them for years, simon tabron, andrew neethling, chris akrigg etc.. too many idiots on the internet
At least mongoose is making good park and freeride bikes. Your an Idiot if you believe Mongoose produces only Walmart bikes. That is just half there business. They have always produced high end as well.
AKA. Do you know Fuzzy Hall? If not. You probably shouldn't comment on Mongoose. Keep the Rookie comments to a minimal.
Knoodles, props for knowing yr' stuff.

romo will still succeed to impress with mongoose as he did with specialized for so many years so the people who think mongoose sucks just get over it

Mongoose is one of the smartest companys out there. They make peices of shit, makes millions then funnel a lot of that money into really making their high end shit good. They are a company to look out for in the next few years! Oh yeah Steve YOU KICK ASS!!! He could make a f*cking road bike look sick as hell.
Most of the money in bikes is low-end. Kids ride them from a-b. What's wrong with Mongoose aiming at both ends of the spectrum and producing high quality and low quality bikes?
Not everyone needs a multi-thousand dollar slopestyle rig...

For all the people complaining about Mongoose, they've been around for a long time. Before Mongoose bikes ever showed up in department stores, they were building great bikes. they were more into XC as most companies were back in the mid to late 90's but don't think that high end bikes are new to them. I can't remember why they ever got out of the "good" bike scene but i think they were having financial troubles but i may be wrong on that one. Don't get me wrong though, i don't think they were ever on the same level as brands like Intense, Yeti, etc...
Anyways, check the link below, looks to be around 1997-1998

man who cares what kinda of bikes they are....these guys are f*cking rippin it up!!!....super nice style. awsome vid!
My cherry red Mongoose rockadile was my first mountain bike well over 10 years ago. I freakin loved the manitou suspension. Steve is going to make a name for this company fast!! I'll never forget the one-foot flatty over the monster drop in `Drop-in'. Kokanee trick of the day!
steves ridin for mongoose and if their such a shitty brand then why would he be riding for them, he is one of the best riders there is, hes obviously not gonna ride just for the money, hes got tons as it is. theres no need to dis mongoose. just cuz they place bikes in walmart and sportcheck and crappy tire, doesnt mean thats the only bikes they make, that means they make bikes for all levels of riders. their a great company, not the best, but their great.,
[Reply]
yah! VOD for sure steve remoniuk is wicked even though he switched from the best compony to the worst

Keep in mind that GM produces the Corvette..and the the Geo line.
I personally would prob rather have the Geo, but does the fact that they are Geo as well as Chevrolet make the Corvette any less respectable?
Is all about the coins...
And be GLAD that Mongoose makes the low-end, disposeable department store bikes! It's the reason their pockets are so deep and can afford to sell the high-end Corvette versions so cheap! I LOVE Walmart bikes!

Its been said before, and I'll say it again:
ITS THE RIDER, NOT THE BIKE. PERIOD.
Steve Romaniuk would kill it on a piece of crap Nishiki Wal-Mart special, as much as the frame would allow...b/c he's one of the great riders. Just the way it is guys.

Oh, and for all you twits claiming "Mongoose is crap".
Put up ONE SINGLE piece of evidence supporting your claim, or shut your mouths. Just ONE. I can show you 300 trashed Specialized bikes. Let's see ONE busted Pro Mongoose.

People need to do their research and read their history. Mongoose has always been respectable, and always made nice bikes.
Dorel/Pacific has always been a mass-marketer. Dorel bought Pacific Cycles, and in turn Pacific bought Mongoose and GT. That in no way means that GT or Mongoose make crap bikes. It means Pacific (who was already making $100 crap WalMart bikes under the Pacific name) now owns the branding rights to GT and Mongoose and can legally put those names on the Pacific product to use name recognition to sell more bikes. In turn, Pacific's financial resources have allowed for design improvements in both the GT and Mongoose product lines. My friend rides a EC-X, and it is far from being crap, and nicer than half of the bikes in our crew.
Does anyone under the age of 22 understand simple economics anymore?

I think we understand the market, and a lot of us know that Pacific now owns a lot of companies. It was a sad day when GT was bought out. I still love GT bicycles and they still make some good bikes. It makes me sad though to look at department store bike and see that they really are all the same except for the color and the stickers. I also lost some respect for those companies. Now your just getting a Pacific bike with a new paint job. I know a lot of shops that dropped GT Bikes when they were bought out.

Should we really care about the bike......kmon.......Romaniac could ride a supercycle. The Goose looks sick to me, did anyone ever think that maybe Mongoose gave him a blank sheet and this is the result?
Either way supreme props to rider and Goose!

They've got enough riders of his caliber, and just wanted to push the Slopestyle crap more. I mean, geez, look at their list of "A" riders, it's cray. And, chances are, Romo prob asked for more money. Specialized declined, Mongoose paid up.
they make some hot shit for the big boys, and some low end for the folks who are broke... wal-mart doesn't own any bike company but roadmaster
thats the worst i've honestly seen that stupid movie a dozen times now! why is it pod? pinkbike you've failed me once again! wow!

I like the delta design, its like the good ideas from Cannondale Gemini/Prophet with a interesting back-end.
Could become a real killer bike =)

Skilled rider and beautiful terrain. I think a lot of you are missing the point. I didn't. I pulled my bike out and rode over and shoveled snow off our dirt jumps. It got me stoked.
Whatever happened to "enjoy the ride"...???

i guarantee you if Norco decided to manufacture a billion bike and sell them in walmarts around the world, in 5 years there will be alot of people who have changed there opinions on the norco name.
i don't know why all you people are dissing mongoose? seriously it is not cool to dis other peoples bikes. i mean as long as you have a bike to ride shouldn't that be fine. it's all about having fun and not about what kind of bike you have, unless the bike's frame snaps on you. but seriuosly i bett none of you have ever even ridden a blackdiamond or an ecd.
I was wondering who was the rider. Then saw the end and it all made perfect sense. Good thing Rocky knows how to f*ck up a good line up.
one thing about makeing a mint from department stores is you have a alot of mony for devoloping high end bikes
[Reply]
music was dope the new mongosse bikes are so nice and i would be proud to own one plus romo is a awsome rider and its cool that hes gettin mongosse noticed
Both companies are fine. why dont some people understand that mongoose caters to all levels of riding. The cheap bikes are for little kids and beginners. Also for people who ride them for TRANSPORTATION and not for freeriding. Mongoose is a good bike company once you go up the ladder and see their top of the line freeride bikes. Specialized makes bikes for the "expensive taste" rider who has previous experience and rides for fun and not transportation.
awesome vid. Romo is still on top in my book. he throws it down on any bike.
keep it up for '08!

I was not sure whether or not Mongoose still made department store bikes. I did some checking on it and found nothing on mongoose.com. However Wal-Mart's website does have Mongoose bikes still. Also, I know that none of you read the article about Mongoose donating to trail work, so here's the link:
