Wildcat Mini BMX has a growing following of fans and riders around the world. And we are absolutely proud of all of our Wildcat Pride. We love seeing you all shred and take things up a level.
However, there are a couple of riders who stand out from the crowd when it comes to passion for the Wildcat Mini BMX Brand, and one of those is 13 year old Marshall 'Major' Gehrke, from Antioch, IL.
We took some time to ask The Major some questions so we could get to know him more, and to understand why he loves shredding on a Wildcat Mini BMX.
Wildcat: Marshall, tell us a bit about yourself.
Major: My name is Marshall "Major" Gehrke, I am 13 years old from Antioch, IL
Wildcat: We see you are mad at sports - what do you play:
Major: Bmx racing and freestyle, basketball, and football.
Wildcat: Which is your favorite sport?
Major: Bmx and basketball are tied
Wildcat: You’ve been on a show lately – tell us about that.
Major: It's called "All-Round Champion" on BYUtv. 10 champions of different sports compete against each other in new sports. It was an amazing experience! I made a bunch of new friends in the crew and the stars. Its an experience I'll never forget!
Wildcat: When did you start riding BMX, and what got you into the sport?
Major: I started racing when I was 4 years old and it was all because of my dad, he noticed that I was a very energetic kid and I also loved riding bikes. One day he took me to a bmx track in Waukegan, Illinois, and I did 50 laps and never wanted to leave and the rest is history. 😂😂
Wildcat: How many bikes do you have?
Major: SSquared BMX race bike, SSquared BMX park bike, SSquared Dirt Jumper and my Wildcat Mini BMX Original 2B Galaxy Gum. I also have my old Championship winning SSquared BMX race bike hanging on my wall. So 5 total right now.
Wildcat: How many hours a week do you train?
Major: Only occasionally, I ride my bike almost every day, but mainly for fun, just to ride.
Wildcat: what’s the best trick you’ve ever done?
Major: either a 720 or backflip
Wildcat: What do you think about your Wildcat Mini BMX?
Major: It's awesome and fun to ride. Its the only mini BMX I would ride! All my friends love it too. Every park I go to all the kids want to try it.
Wildcat: How does your Wildcat Galaxy Gum compare to your full sized BMX?
Major: It's definitely different but its really fun to go and ride when I'm taking a break from the other bike.
Wildcat: What would you love to be doing long term?
Major: Can I be a pro-bmx'r while playing for the Chicago Bulls?
Wildcat: We reckon you can!! You are a very talented lad. Big things ahead for you we think. We are super amped that you love riding your Wildcat and can't wait to see more videos of you getting air on it.

Have you been looking around to find a BMX bike and wondered what all the fuss is about these smaller 10” BMX bikes that you’ve seen flying around the skatepark or BMX track? Well, in this post, we are going to unpack what it means for you to shred harder on the mini BMX craze that is taking over neighborhoods near you.
12 months ago, Wildcat Mini BMX finally launched in the USA after so many of you had begged us to bring the world's best Mini BMX bike to the land of the free.
And what a Wild (cat) Ride it's been!! (Pun intended).
awesome trick Me and my kids love it and very strong bike and it Shipped fast and I received it fast to and ill be making another purchase from you guys
I ordered the wildcat disc brake for my son's Fatboy Pro mini bmx bike. Installation was super easy. I am no bike mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, and it only took me about 20 minutes to install. The trickiest parts of the installation were adjusting the disc so it sat evenly between the brakes, and adjusting the brake cable. Other than those minor adjustments, it's pretty straightforward to install with Wildcat's installation instructions on their website.
The brakes are so much better than the stock caliper brakes on the mini bike! My kid loves his "upgraded" bike, and I love that the brakes work great and don't rub on the rear tire like the old caliper brakes. Thank you for this awesome product!
That's the best - so glad the brakes are working out well on your Fatboy Mini BMX and that you found it easy to instal them. Enjoy the upgraded ride.
