  • I buy a 2022 Mongoose California Special repop BMX! Have a look as I unbox it and build it. I was surprised of the quality of the bike, the welds and paintwork were surprising. Find out more as I go through the process and find out about my future plans for the bike as I plan to modify it :D

    Excellent video. I bought the first release mongoose stranger things and rebuilt it from scratch during lock downs in Australia 2020. Now I have an itch for the red Supergoose. A great idea that they released these. It was never about quality like back in the 80's but about nostalgia for us men that like to look back at these the way we did as youngsters. I don't ride my mongoose but every time I walk in the garage I look at it and I smile. Thank you great job.

      Thank you for your feedback mate. I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😁 I haven't ridden mine yet either but will be soon on a local BMX mass meeting/ride 🙂 Go get that Red Supergoose and double the smiles when you get into the garage 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

    My first half-decent bike was a Californian. Many miles, many adventures/misadventures. Then my sister raced it, and did pretty well with it.
    The holes in the rims don't look large enough. I bent the 1-piece cranks, and I think I smashed the seat rails, but the rims survived.
    The pedals you have I think were called Bear Traps. Mine had plastic platforms.

    I’m thrilled I remember trying to get the mongoose on layaway at 1985 and my mother would not give me the mongoose. She made me get the Royce union conqueror and that Mike was awesome too but finally 40 years later I’m getting my bike.!!! and I couldn’t be happier that they remade it and they made it right good comeback mongoose

    Nice to make them again, but I’ll rather wait for a chrome version with the original beautiful welds. These weld are real tear jerkers.😢

    I got my bike today and it has a front brake...Great!!! I bought it in France and it came with the same shipping box yours did. The quality is ok. Cheers

    Ha, the only BMX I had as a kid was a PK Ripper, totally forgot about that until you mentioned the name

    That I believe is what they call nickel finish. Not all of them were chrome back in the day.

    Hi, I just bought the supergoose reissue complete bike and I want to switch the frame and forks out with a 1983 pro class. Does you know if that’s possible?

    Seriously considering getting one of these sent over. Could somebody tell me how much the import tax and delivery comes to roughly. Cheers....

    Thanks for your video, mate! I just ordered mine today. It is the silver/black version and I am quite curious if it will be equipped with a front brake, since it is advertised without one. I am excited! Being 10 years old all over again!!😆 Cheers...

      You're welcome, mate! Not many videos of the red one, so I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and do a full unbox and assembly video. Enjoy reliving the good old days 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻😁

      @@DRMotorsport1976 I will! And keep on doing what you do. I started watching your Peugeot 205 videos as well. Spot on!! Did you know, that the Peugeot 205 although the body size remained the same it was offered as a XS and XL model.... ok, lame joke 🤣
