Sophia comes to Mongoose from GT, another brand under the Dorel Sports umbrella, where she competed for over a decade.

Augie Simoncini is a different breed of rider. Full commitment all the time and he's paid the price, too. His most recent fall has cost him the ability to hear in his right ear, but as you'll see, Augie is taking it in stride and will no doubt be back full steam.
