Bought this today. Originally got it in 1987. July 7th when I turned 9. Now at 46. Besides my Jordan collection this might be my favorite item from my childhood.
Got mine this am as soon as Mongoose started taking orders. The green ones are sold out. As of this message, they still had the lavender ones available. Can't wait till it arrives.
WOW WOW WOW! What an incredible video. The story, background and editing are soooo good. Love seeing your friend light up when he teleported right back to 1986. Beautiful moment.
Thanks Sean! Yes, you nailed about Peeps being teleported right back to 1986. Such a fun experienced, I was giddy the whole week knowing this was coming soon... and as much as I would have loved to keep the bike, it was so worth it for his priceless reactions. Love it!
10/10 video. So good! 35 years since I touched a freestyle bike. Tomorrow will mark 1 month since getting back into it. Pulled a lawnmower last night. Almost giddy. This kind of content is massively inspirational. Thank you.
LOVE IT/// MY 1983 MONGOOSE WAS STOLEN 2 MONTHS AGO/// BUT AFFFFFFFFFFFFFTER SEEING THESE GUYS ENJOY THEIR SHOWS ,I FEEL LIKE IM BACK IN THE 80S,,,, THANKS GUYS AND MONGOOSE////
Rad job, Matty...your vids are serious inspiration and your enthusiasm is a breath of fresh air! This was so much fun to be a part of and Peeps didn't even have a clue what was going on, lol! You ARE definitely part of the STL4130 Crew and we are hella stoked that you come out and ride with us old-@ss riders!!! Keep the great content coming and thanks for the Aggro Jam 2 shout-out...it's gona be an epic Bicycle Boogaloo 🚲 🤘 Mikey E
Nice! The FS-1 was my 1st real Freestyle bike. Had the gray one. Before that I was hopping curbs and doing wheelies on a banana seat bike. Learned Hang-5s on this bike, 1st with pegs in the low position, and later in the high position. Had let a friend ride it, and he got jacked for it. 3-4 years later some dude showed up at the b-ball courts that we rode at with it. We stole it back without a fight. Regret selling it shortly after that, but I had moved on to PFTs by then. Watching you guys roll around on it brought back a flood of good memories like spending hours a day in my backyard trying to learn all the flatland tricks from RAD on it. Soon as I got home from school, I was on my bike. Pretty much every free waking moment I was on that bike. So kool to see.
Dude, this is so cool. I love how so many of us have those similar shared experiences. "Soon as I got home from school, I was on my bike" That's it right there!!! Thanks for the comments, I love it!!! 🙌
Thanks!!! Yes, it was definitely a trip for everyone. So much fun seeing everyone try tricks they used to do back in the day on it. Such a cool bike!!!
I didn't have a Mongoose BMX back in the day, but my buddy did. I always thought there were cool. My first mountain bike in 1993 was a Mongoose Rockadile. That was a rad bike for sure! Thanks for chiming in! 🙌
80's was the best hands Down!!! 49 now and this video makes me so happy! Thanks to all you guys that pretty much look my best bros! Ride for Life Never Stop bein RAD!!!❤️🔥👊
these are the best group of friends ever chipping in over a $100 each to get this for him. For all the people who say its tough to have a group of good friends past 30, I show you exhibit A right here with this crew
Wow. Living in NYC I would only take it out when I could watch it, never lock this up as it would be swiped. I’ll just live vicariously through your video.
Super cool video, loved it! I had the purple FS-1 that my dad got second hand for me in the early 90s and I loved that bike. Always missed it. Thanks for the fun content.
Woke up to your instagram post about this bike, and I went to Mongoose and bought one right then! Before I even got out of bed. I think I got one of the last 5, because it said 4 left after I bought mine, and now they say out of stock. Thank you so much for sharing that!
I remember Mongoose building the 1 of 1 bike one day that led to the FS-1 being planned and built. I had a Schwinn Predator Free Form EX and it was similar in a few ways.
I got a loud lime and brother got both lime and lavender today.. so excited. Bar shape is a little bit different. They also didn’t recess the fork front brake bolt small I know. Like you said for the money how can you go wrong.
@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood thanks bud. My brother actually has an original loud lime and we both own a couple decades.. big mongoose fans lol. I’m going to take new one and build it up like the original with the rotor, 880 front brake, tech 5 levers, sugino chainring possibly and the list goes on. Excited to build those one up! Love the channel
@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood are you on bmx museum? I’m JuicedGT I’ll have it posted on there when it’s done. Also putting a set of white proclass wheels from a decade on it because I’m a hoe for those wheels lol.. should look trick. Your rotor video was awesome I have a couple on the way I’m going to refurb from what u showed on there.
Hey cool guys ....and a very nice goose ,big hand by the oldest oldschooler in germany "TH-cam" (oldschool bmx 57 years) good times and happy times from germany ❤❤❤
I think the mags on these reissues are custom ones, but they look similar to those and the skyways. I"m not sure what the top tube size is. I should have measured it, doh! 🤦🏻
Thanks for the feedback. I have no insights from Mongoose on their future plans. But, I wouldn't be surprised if they reissued the Decade eventually. From a freestyle perspective, it makes since that they did the Mini Scoot scooter first, since that was their first freestyle themed product, then the FS-1 came out, and then it was the Decade after that. Fingers crossed. But if you're on the fence, I would get the FS-1 now. You'll probably regret it if you don't get it.
Very much in enjoy watching your videos here in New Zealand. I recently got a supergoose reissue with motomag 3s fitted on it but it just sits in my shed with a cover on it im to afraid to ride it lol i worried i might scratch it or something
That's awesome. I hear you on being afraid to scratch it, but I agree, you'll be happier in the long run if you at least take it out for some Sunday rides every now and then! 🙌
your editing is sure getting fancy! My only critique of you - literally my ONLY - which means you are killing it! so back to my "opinion": I think your logo could use a bit of a refresh. the sesame street just doesn't hit right to me. BUTTTT - I can totally appreciate it and don't want to take anything away from your amazing page. :)
Thanks for the encouragement and kind words. I hear you on the logo. I just haven't come up with an idea that connect the idea of nostalgia for our childhoods with a neighborhood or street sign. This one sort of meets that goal perfectly, even though it's a bit more childish and less rad. 🤣
@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood maybe I’m thinking of the Decade? Great video btw. I actually still have an FS1 frame. It was originally gray but it was spray painted black and has decade pro stickers on it. It’s pretty beat up.
I had been anxiously waiting for the last four months for this bike to be released. My wife and I both signed up for the release notification on each of our emails, and never received jack shlt. Missed out on the bike, what a load of horse shlt...
I signed up for the email when it was first announced, and I received the announcement email. Dang, sorry to hear that you didn't get it, that’s really frustrating. I would have been super bummed too. 😔
Redline has some right now, but they are super expensive. www.redlinebmxfoundations.com Monza has a cool 24” that isn’t a reissue, but looks the 80’s part, and built with modern tech.
Love it!! Proper flatland tricks 🙌
Thanks for dropping anniversary items. We were excited for the 50th and you guys delivered. Thanks ODB x OLP
I'm so glad I was born in 1971! The 80's were the best!!! Awesome vid!
You're right, the '80s were truly a golden age! 💯. Thanks so much for the feedback!!!
Bought this today. Originally got it in 1987. July 7th when I turned 9. Now at 46. Besides my Jordan collection this might be my favorite item from my childhood.

Dang!!! So sorry to hear your bike was stolen. But love your positive attitude. 🙌
This is the button for them to make more of them.
I’m smashing that button 💥 Let’s go!
Coolest senior day at the park I've ever seen!
Haha!!! Ain’t that the truth 🤣🙌
“Damn Son… Can I ride it?” - Hearing the excitement in his voice was amazing! Great video! I love hanging out with my Nostalgic Neighborhood Gang…
Awesome!!!! It was such a cool moment, for sure!!! Thanks for handing out with us here on TH-cam!!!
What a cool gift to give Peeps. Was great to see the crew having a fun session. Shout out from an old school in Australia. Lovin the channel.
Yes, such a fun evening!!! So cool to have a community of BMX fans from all around the world, thanks for the support! 👊

Right on!!!! The attitude in this group is if you’re on a bike, you’re cool with us. I love it 🙌
I love that you got the whole crew to ride it and do tricks.
I'd watch an entire episode of you guys riding!
Yes, I'm glad it worked out and so many were available. We missed a couple of the crew. Maybe next time!!
Thanks! Maybe we'll have to do that. It's so much fun handing out with these guys.
It takes skill to do those tricks respect....
Some skilled guys in this crew for sure 🙌
In the 80’s I was a GT performer fan. But I will admit that this Mongoose looks sweet! I’m excited for this
I always wanted a GT Performer too. So many great bikes 💥🙌
I love your videos dude! Such passion
Thanks so much, I'm super stoked that you enjoy them! 🙌

Yes! 💯 We’re totally blessed to have a vibrant scene of old guy riders and skaters in the St. Louis area!
These are mad! I hope they release more
💯 Totally agree! Fingers crossed the Decade is next
I got the green one today!! Cant wait to get it in hand
So rad!!! The green ones are out of stock already. You're gonna love it!! 👊🏻
@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood got the green one also!!! Sooooooooooooooooo Stoked ( birthday present thanks Hallie)
@ yes!! 🙌
It's awesome to see you guys riding flat, and having fun! If I wasn't on the other side of the world, I'd be there like a shot!
Yes, it's great having a group like this for bikes, and other dudes who ride skateboards. We'd love to have you if you ever are on travels.
Best video! I didn’t really connect with it before but now I really regret buying the heritage Pro Performer.
Thanks! I hope you don't end up regretting it too much, those heritage Pro Perfomers are super sick too!
Wow. Living in NYC I would only take it out when I could watch it, never lock this up as it would be swiped. I’ll just live vicariously through your video.
I totally understand that, especially in NYC. 😭
Memory Lane!!!!
😎👍🏻👍🏻
Right on 🙌
Awesome video, dude. Inspiring!
Thanks so much! 🙏 It's so much fun hanging out with a group of guys and riding bikes. I love how the bmx community is so welcoming and encouraging. 🙌
Great job! I have a vintage collection of Mongoose bikes but I'm looking forward to adding this one to my collection today!!!! Love the Channel!!!!
That's awesome Jason. Looking forward to seeing you add this one to your collection.
Everything about this video made me smile!
And reading this comment makes me smile too. Thanks for watching and commenting!! 😀🙌
This is incredible.
Thanks Damon! 👊 🙌
Cool video looked like good time. And what a gift
It was a rad day for sure! 🙏

I just found out they were making these! I still have my purple FS1 from 86!
Awesome!!! That's so cool, you've got your original from back in the day!!! 🙌
Rad 🤙 80s Bmx is where it's at. I had a Diamond Back Silver Streak and my neighbor had a Mongoose Supergoose 😎
Awesome! Great memories from back in the day 🙌
That's rad, all of it
Thanks so much. Had a blast making the video, and of course hanging out and riding with the guys. Love the BMX community!!!
Nice bike! i was a freestyle bmx rider myself in the 90s. I rode a 1996 GT Dyno "Air" freestyle bike. Wish i still had it
Awesome!!! I had a Dyno Detour in the late 80s. Gotta love Dyno too 🙌
Mongoose ❤ Outstanding Wonderfull Superb ❤
Thanks man! 🙏
Wow so cool! Man what a rad bike and group! And here I thought I was the only adult still riding bikes and skateboarding 🤙😂
Yes, it's so fun to find more guys like us who are still out there having fun on our bikes and boards! 😂🤙
Awesome video bro! The price is great on that FS-1,even when having generic parts you can just swap them out.
Thanks Joe! Yes, a great value, good points on swapping parts too. Just like back in the day!!!
Soooo rad!
Yes!!! 🙌💥
I remember Mongoose building the 1 of 1 bike one day that led to the FS-1 being planned and built.

From the thumbnail I really thought that was a GT Pro Performer. I had a 87 in purple. Loved it!! 🤙🏻 Think my dad paid around $300
Nice!!! $300 sounds about right for a pro performer in 87. Such a classic bike 🤩💥
Thts awesome
Thanks!🙏
Thanx Matty B🥷🥷🙏🙏🤘🤘🐥🐥
Absolutely Peeps! Appreciate you, bro! 👊🏻

@TheNostalgicNeighborhood thank you....from germany
I just purchased a 2025 24” MONZA which I’m stoked for doing…but now I may have to throw some more money down on one of these FS1’s!!!
Dude!!! You’re gonna love the Monza ❤️ 🙌🙌🙌
@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood I saw on another TH-cam channel that you have stickers….how may I acquire a few? Thanks 🤙
@ I haven’t made them available online just yet. Just handing out a few when I meet people in person. Hopefully soon. 🙌
Man, I want one soooo bad.
Nice review. Those mags look similar to the Hutch Trick Star OG mags. Are they similar? Also, what size is the top tube?
I think the mags on these reissues are custom ones, but they look similar to those and the skyways. I"m not sure what the top tube size is. I should have measured it, doh! 🤦🏻
Awesome video! I'm on the fence about getting one. Do you think they will re-release any more 80's models in the future?

I bought one but the seat post moves side to side while I ride it. Not sure if I should try Fiber Grip? Any suggestions?
I’m not sure. Maybe rough up the top of the post with low grit sandpaper.
What brand and model is that bike at minute 11:45?
It a Trident model from Tech Bike Co. we did a full bike check covering it here: th-cam.com/video/2AWztZnJqG8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WABx4jMtud67L-Wc

Thanks 🙏 Unfortunately, the FS-1 sold out quickly. Hopefully, they release more, but I haven’t heard anything yet.
@ thank you so very much. I watch your videos over n over. I’m building a hutch myself as well all because is you. Thank you
That looks so sick, I feel like if you took your eye off it for a second it would be gone!
You’re probably right. Just like when we were kids…
550? TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!
I know, right?!?! 🙌
I could be losing it, but didn’t these come with an SR Spin-Tech?
No, the originals came with ACS Rotors. 👍
@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood maybe I’m thinking of the Decade? Great video btw. I actually still have an FS1 frame. It was originally gray but it was spray painted black and has decade pro stickers on it. It’s pretty beat up.
Don't forget the movie BMX Bandits
For sure, that’s a fun one too.
I had been anxiously waiting for the last four months for this bike to be released. My wife and I both signed up for the release notification on each of our emails, and never received jack shlt. Missed out on the bike, what a load of horse shlt...

I had a blue one
Rad!!! I love it 🙌
It blows my mind that now Walmart sells MONGOOSE (nothing like this of course), AIRWALK, MAUI AND SONS AND TONY HAWK merch.🤯
And they play 80s music in the background. 🤣

Yes, Redline was super fast back then!
If you rode a pink bike in the 80s there was a high chance of you getting a kicking
I guess it depends on where you lived. Pink was all over the place in a lot of areas. Ask Woody Itson, Martin Aparijo, and Mike Miranda.
I have my original bought new in 86 lavender fs-1 frame fork rotor and other parts and i'm willing to sell it, contact me if interested
Wow that's awesome!
