How much is the shift supervisor getting for running the production line 15% faster than it should be running? Typically you see it when a frame tube ruptures or a weld breaks, but sometimes it shows up in odd ways, like a frame having the wrong brackets, etc. There are many different types of mountain bikes for every type and need.
SmartStart bikes are engineered to outsmart physics so kids in motion stay in motion. Ya but the carbon frames and the kinesis frames were usa, thats what I was referring to. Clearly there were many awesome US built frames, My MCS, Patterson, or my JMC cruiser are good examples, but realistically, those were not the same market niche as a Californian, a 500B, or a Mach 1. I dont own any American bikes, but I love my Taiwanese rides.
From a design point, it’s kind of apples and oranges, really. From a weight, geometry and design standpoint it is a better frame. Build quality completely depends on other factors that are beyond our, or in fact Mongoose’s control…
In September of 1974, Skip Hess started BMX Products, Inc. out of his home in Simi Valley, California. His first bicycle was the innovative Motomag One Wheel, a cast aluminium mag wheel. Whether it be freestyle or race every single one of our staff is a die-hard BMXer so you know that you’re always getting the best advice.
It is perhaps overdue at this point to mention that the name Mongoose was the result of Skip, and interestingly, was taken from 5 x national drag racing champion Tom ‘The Mongoose’ McEwen. Pretty awesome to think that the very early roots of BMX have drag racing ties, as well as a more obvious association with motocross and skating (which was also taking off at the time, and also mongoose excursion in southern California).

Identifying the serial numbers on the early Mongoose frames is actually quite easy and intuitive with this guide. The Mongoose Legion L40 Bike is ready for the beginner to intermediate level BMX rider. Features such as a sealed bearing mid bottom bracket and s…
Interestingly, attitudes towards scooters are similarly harboured to this day, with scooters (albeit in a different form) continuing to polarise people and continuing to be the easy option, the low hanging fruit. For the Mongoose brand and its long history, the role of BMX bandits further improved the iconic status with the chrome ‘Supergoose’ model (with blue wheels and accessories) being ridden by one of the central characters ‘Goose’. Young ‘Goose’ is joined by another BMX bike enthusiast ‘P.J.’ who one day have a run in with a young trolley collector by the name of ‘Judy’ and embark on a journey to help her tally funds to buy a BMX bike. From here, the film centers on the trio as they find themselves embroiled (unintentionally) in a series of shady situations as propelled by a couple of halfwit goons attempting to rob a bank. As earlier eluded, ‘Judy’ was played by a teenage Kidman, emerging out of a field of 200 audition hopefuls, Nicole was noted as having a remarkable ability to understand, interpret and adapt to a script. Since Mongoose only offered these bikes in the continental USA they have been working hard to find a way for people in Canada, Alaska/Hawaii, Mexico, UK, ect, to get their hands on them and that’s where we come in.
