I might as well set things straight since it keeps coming up over and over again. I left Specialized to Mongoose for a better opportunity to help improve bikes and put them back on the map. I felt there was nothing left for me to do at Specialized and they did not need to have 4 top riders. Since 4 years ago when I tried the Mongoose bikes out I fell in love. This was no easy task coming from Specialized. Since then every year the bikes have improved and continued to evolve into a bike that has been anywhere from flying off the biggest drops to winning the Aussie cup! Beleive me. The wal mart division is a totally different company with separate offices and employees. They are actually not even in the same state.They have nothing to do with Each other. One end is high end bikes, the other end is bikes to get people into the sport for cheap. We take profits from the cheaper bikes earning to fuel R and D for the high end bikes. End of story. The boot'R is the real deal and a bike I have loved riding for the last 4 seasons!

lots of my mates ride mongoose bikes and love them, I'm gonna watch these videos a few times, get inspired and do what I do with it. Our hobby is driven by a business and doesn't always translate as well as we would like to the bro nature of our world, it's important to remember that pretty much everybody involved in this kind of work is in it purely to free up time for this kind of fun. Things that appear one way may not be so much so when you are involved in it.

YEAH COORS BREWERY TOUR!!! Great place to start, Denver. Well, the riding around there, anyway. Glad to see my favorite state of the union represented so well!

Romo and Amir in front of MTBcut: can't wait to see the result!!!

jodyreynolds81 (Jun 24, 2011 at 11:00)

they just went from mongoose presents straight into starring...didnt even mention know your roots until after that

paperpl8 (Jun 24, 2011 at 13:15)

yeah, that was a pretty bad oversight - maybe they were too caught up in making fancy edits to notice

captain-sandbag (Jun 24, 2011 at 14:29)

Umm... don't think that was an oversight. Go watch for example the follow me trailer, it's in the same order.

Are they going to have a Walmart section? I know there are a few quality mongooses, but they sold out big time.

dirteveryday (Jun 24, 2011 at 16:25)

They didn't "sell out" they friggin MADE CASH. The department store bikes and the "real" bikes have nothing in common than the name on the downtube. Back when Mongoose was a respected name it sold a TON of department store bikes for them. Too much of a good thing backfired on them when they tried to get back into the big dog game and they have to fight ignorance such as your own. Mongoose/GT/Cannondale has DEEP friggin pockets, that's why they can sell decked out ready-to-rock bikes complete for what some FRAMES cost. And once they learn what customer support is i'll go back them.

those crazy geese are really stepping it up, looking forward to this one, a kinda mini-NWD movie for sure

dirteveryday (Jun 24, 2011 at 16:29)

Actually...a Mongoose is a wicked little rodent that tears shit up! Google one...

rlucky82 (Jun 24, 2011 at 18:56)

often a mongoose bike is refered to as "goose" I think he is just pluralizing the slang term for mongoose - which could be geese? anyways its all good :-)

gnarbar (Jun 24, 2011 at 19:02)

mongoose, mongeese, mongii, 'geese, 'gooses.....whatever....still going to be a rowdy movie

dirteveryday (Jun 24, 2011 at 19:17)

I know...I have a whole album full of mongoose bikes, I've heard and used all the slang for em! Just bored and givin shit(while trying to add a little masculinity to the name of a small but mean little animal! Haha!

dirteveryday (Jun 24, 2011 at 19:17)

Haha, and I like "Mongii" !

rely (Jun 24, 2011 at 11:31)

Those trucks are awesome I had one way back when!

Mongoose Bootr is an amazing bike, it jumps so much better then the rest.

courtneypool-78 (Jun 25, 2011 at 1:05)

I lost respect for Mongoose when they Sold Out to walmart, it will be a while before I can trust them again.

i hate mongoose, put them back in wal mart stores

rlucky82 (Jun 24, 2011 at 14:29)

Why? because you regularly get your ass kicked by someone on a mongoose?

freeridedub (Jun 25, 2011 at 12:09)

no because mongoose is gay as AIDS and specialized has been making far better bikes for far more time while mongoose was sucking on their thumb waiting for someone to save them from wal mart, not just specialized but every other great bike company as well

freeridedub (Jun 24, 2011 at 12:22)

i know it happend a long time ago but i still cant believe Romo left specialized to ride for these jerks

luli79 (Jun 24, 2011 at 12:47)

Romo didn't leave Specialized, his contract ended and they did not offer an extension or new contract. They already had Berrecloth and Voreis under contract at the time.

EricThiessen (Jun 24, 2011 at 13:23)

ya and how are they jerks? i bet 100% you haven't even met any of them

dirteveryday (Jun 24, 2011 at 16:28)

Actually, Voreis JUST got on SpecialEd. He was Santa Cruz for quite a while.
