BMX Bike History Mongoose 1988

[@rontrout7067]

I purchased a 1988 Expert frame and fork several years ago. I built it up the way that I wanted and to this day, it is still one of my favorites to ride.

Nice one.

Very cool I had an 87 decade pro in pink and chrome and a 88 mini scooter in coral reef thanks for sharing 👍 I miss those days of mid late 80s

[@re-rides]

Thanks for watching.

[@KingKatRider]

Mongoose was the heavy frame, we all was riding Rampar/Red line/Power light but that was about 10yrs earlier than 88.

[@re-rides]

Thanks for the info.

88 is nice but my 86 chrome and blue Californian was the best , Wish you did 1986 catalogue one day , thx .

[@re-rides]

Will definitely get to the 86. Got a long list to get done. My intention is to do every year from all the big brands.

[@ramblue5171]

Awesome idea . Maybe you could add links to retro parts as well. I'm currently sitting on a 86 gt mach1 . But searching for my 86 mongoose also had a 86 se Quadrangle. Thanks

I had the 70s Motomag in 88 that my uncle found in a flooded house
Wanted the California or a Redline or Dyno, Gt, Haro, Diamondback, Hutch
Pretty much anything other than that at the time
Lol
Those style scooters were a ton of fun
Never understood the popularity of the Razor type scooter after the mini scoots existed

[@re-rides]

Haha. Yea try giving a vintage BMX to a kid these days. Not interested.

[@justa3valve]

I still remember my Mongoose Villian

[@re-rides]

A great model. Thanks for watching.

I was 10 when I got this and the first trick I did was shove my foot into front wheel to pop the back..... DO NOT wear flip flops while conducting this lol

[@re-rides]

Ouch.
