In 1985, Mongoose rocked cul-de-sacs, sidewalks, and skateparks across America with the creation of the Miniscoot – the first scooter with pneumatic tires, hand brakes, and BMX handlebars. Next Tuesday (3/22), Mongoose will resurrect the original icon with the launch of the Miniscoot II.
The Miniscoot II features a chromoly frame, 12" x 2.25" air-filled gumwall tires, Pro Class handlebars, and the classic colors and graphics of its 1987 predecessor that became a legend. The Miniscoot II is the newest addition to the Mongoose Classics line, which was brought to life in 2021 with two '80s BMX throwback models, the Supergoose and California Special.

Another amazing video from @indigenousdaddy Brenten is one of the hardest working people I know! Dudes putting in work in the streets. This VX part is so good, his best work yet!

We head south to Bogota Colombia to visit the home of Haro rider, Michael Mogollon, and to ride the biggest parks and the most cutty streets spots this beautiful country has to offer. This trip also marks the first Haro trip for new teammate, Perris Benegas, although she fit in with the crew so well it felt as though we have been traveling together for years! But that's how it goes with great people in great places, you can't help but have a great time! -
After two years without a BMX Jam we decided to run a smooth BMX Jam in Stuttgart's finest indoor spot at the Stuttpark Skatepark.

Did you ever have a cover of a magazine? Yes I did, FAT-'zine issue 9 right here. Putting yourself on the cover is pretty lame but what the heck, make your own (maga)zine and you have that control too. The photo was taken at an event in the Rai, Amsterdam and "street riding" was a new thing. We got plenty of cool artwork again from our friends at school. Somehow they never got caught. The StokeBros sent over a few pages and again we brought the news in the Believe it, or not!? pages.
It's 1989 and a photo caption says that Paul is back on the freestyle scene. A comeback in 1989! Paul also went to see Suicidal Tendencies twice and reports about it.
Issue #9 has 'Zine reviews (Sketchy, Fractured and Zenith) and Lars from Mars also wrote a story that you can find on page 18. We did a lot in 1988 and have 7 pages covering the places we went.
The free sticker page was filled with a terrible Airwalk freestyle team sticker but hey, it was free.
We went to a BDP concert in Eindhoven (P. 29-30) and went back to the University of Duesseldorf to ride the brick banks. The year was 1989.
Jeroen Hoogaerts (RIP) and Ron Wilkerson both got interviews. We did Another RAD-LAME list, Matt Pingel contributed more stuff and we went to the EnergieHal in Rotterdam for a session.
