Can’t wait to see what you do with the FS-1. I agree with everything you said. It’s such a great value for the price, despite having some cheaper parts… the 4130 frame has good quality welds and the paint was immaculate on ours. A great starting point for customizations. Looks like the Rad event is going to be a blast. Can’t wait to meet so many kindred spirits there 🙌
The new Mongoose bikes are rad for sure dude😝 I wish I would have been able to get one of those but I need to get smaller and lose weight to even be able to ride a 20” again so I got the last few new mongoose 29” hooligan bike from Amazon and now you can’t get it so I’m glad I got one! It’s really light and a nice bike but I will be changing out some stuff to my personal taste to make it RAD🤘🏻
That new Mongoose is sick! That chain guard and reflectors have to go though! Haha! Would love to see this in a 26". That Skyway is also another banger of a bike. That night at the pizza place is gonna be rad! Man, I wish I could get out there for that. Looking forward to the video that will come from that event!
We were just at Darkside Pizza last weekend! My wife and I took tons of pics of the RAD bikes and display. Mike told us about the RAD event. We will definitely be there. Just waiting for tickets to go on sale. 👍
We have our credit card ready! I wven ordered a Cru replica number plate to have it signed. Thought about having them sign my bike....but I think the number plate will do! Lol We are digging that Radical Rick plate in red white and blue!! @@RadBMXBuilds
I’m still hoping there is a 40th anniversary RAD ride here in Calgary, I’d be stoked to see people out here rolling on old steel in a big group… We don’t have large group rides like I see on the Internet here. I kind of wish we did. Minus the wheelie kids, of course
Spot on about what you would change. I have new grips coming already. However, the bike itself is really good. If you had an original frame already and tried to reproduce this bike with repro parts, including powder coating, it would be impossible to build something of this quality for the $550 original sticker price. Great job Mongoose!
I had that mongoose when I was a kids brand new ... The screw into the fork front pegs that was big then after that had a gt performer with the goose neck frame all that bike was good for was frame stands which was just a good way to get ya self cut up in the summer n then last one was a neon yellow Dyno detour with black splashes all over it n I had nothing but problems the brakes the neck stopped almost immediately n the handle bars would do a flip forward if you wasnt I. The know n road it lol but all 3 were way to big n heavy they were like Cadillacs for BMX lol I think was the chrome mongoose California was nice n I think was a skyline that was small light bikes they were ahead of they time especially for shorter guys like myself the Dyno n gt had those ridiculous seat posts that you couldn't lower down more then half way
Best channel!! 💨🚀
Thanks, appreciate you!
Hellz yeah. Great video Sean!!
Appreciate it!

I hear ya, it's a great platform to build on!
Wish I lived closer to Texas, sounds like an awesome event!
Justin is coming from Maine 🤷♂️

Happy belated born day Sean!!!!
Nice Diamond Back Silver Streaks! I just rebuilt a 1993 Viper that was given to me.

That's awesome! You'll love the event, tickets should be available starting tomorrow

@ see you there!
Just ordered a Torker LP Pro XL in chrome. Looking forward to building it.
Nice, you'll love it!
Man the shop is looking good 👍 👌!! That mongoose is amazing both colors are rad.
Appreciate that!

That would be awesome!
Dude, I got my FS-1 on Monday and I was blown away! I wish I would have got the green as well, but I didn't know they would sell out so fast.

Can't wait for the RAD event. I'll try to bring the Ernie's 80's bike crew this time. See you there!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
So jelly about the Rad Event. The garage is looking killer and that new display case fits perfect!
Thank you 🙏
Nice! I bought the reissue Supergoose in black. Now if Mongoose would bring back the 80s ProClass in smoked chrome I'd probably buy 2.
I purchased a retro Supergoose in black. After a few upgrades, it handles just as well as my 1988 Expert.
I love how retro bikes can still hold their own.
Great review. The new FS1s look great. Can’t wait to see what you do with it next.
Thanks, I'm looking forward to the build too!
Was really hoping to get one of these. Wanted to put it beside my 2022 rerelease California Special. ffs
Shop looks amazing
Appreciate it! It's been a labor of love.

That FS1 looks proper cheap in places, the wheels particularly. Will be good to build though.
But that’s how they kept the price down. Parts are easy to replace
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
i remember ppl use to tell me u could stick a mag lite wheel in the freezer if it was messed up and it would fix its self loo. man 90s kid stories 😂
That's a classic story!
@ yes it is
I've heard a comment somewhere that a Gyro is better than the ACS Rotor. What's the difference?
You are correct. The difference is everything. They aren’t at all the same
Bro, start your customization by throwing away the chain guard and the reflectors
They are gone!
im an insanely rad dude so u can always send a gt r mongoose curve tail style bike my way buddy.. lol
Sure thing. You can always send money my way first
@ right theres always that its always the money thing 😂. i paid alm0st 600 in the 90s for a gt virtigo i can imagine now.
The AcS Rotor was terrible
Yup
@RadBMXBuilds do you own a pair of ACS Z Rims? Did a Miami Hopper once and folded the front wheel like a taco.
@ no
