MONGOOSE SIGNS DECHAMP TO MTB TEAM
The versatile 25-year-old competes in dirt, street and park contests, as well as in mountaincross. A pro since 1999, DeChamp lives in Harwood, Maryland and is credited as the first person to land a front flip on a mountain bike.
2005 was a good year for DeChamp. "I took first at the Ashville, North Carolina Jump Comp, first at the Best Trick Comp at the London bike show and second place at Winter Splinter's Park Comp," says Jim.
His goals for 2006 are simple: learn more tricks and have fun. And he's psyched to ride for Mongoose. "I think it's great to ride for a team with so much history. I want to become part of it," he adds.
Look for DeChamp ripping the competition on the Mongoose Thunderball, Black Diamond, and the EC-X and EC-D in 2006. He'll be competing in various pro dirt jump, park and freeride comps like Crankworx, Rye Airfeild and Sea Otter.
