It's 2024 and it's Mongooses 50th anniversary. What a ride its been. I started racing a couple of weeks before my 4th birthday and fell in love with BMX. I stripped the gears to expert in less than a year and was one of a very few 5 year old experts in the US and have not looked back. I'm now 12 and looking forward to another great year on FLRC Mongoose. I ride for the Factory team but help mentor other riders at local tracks as part of the Silicon Valley FLRC Mongoose team (BTW mentoring is another word for making friends at tracks all over the U.S.) I love my team we have great sponsors and great managers and we work hard race harder but always have fun. BMX it's kids, bikes, dirt, and fun and if that's not your focus you're doing it wrong. I cherish all the friends I've made over the years. But would love to call out Dwayne Taylor, The Garcias, Chad "Grizz", Al Roybal, John and Tyler Clark, The Chavez's tribe, The Tapiz's, The Davis's, The Taylors and the Hoggards to name a few of too many to count. BMX is truly about friendships build on a love of racing. I'm just a California Kid who loves to race. Big shout out to our sponsors Mongoose, USABMX foundation, Profile racing, ODI grips, Larevolution cafe, Deft Family, Yoshimura cycling, Tangent products, RideMisc, Veetires, ShimanoBMX, RoundtwoBMX products, RST suspension and Rawdealtees. See you at the track.
