BIO:
Justin Mitchell, better known as Congo, has been a staple in the Fixed Gear trick scene since the emergence of the sport. He was one of the first riders to bring a BMX background into fixed gear bikes in 2008 and went on to become one of the most popular riders for years to come.
Justin has been involved in some of the biggest FGFS videos of all time including sections in Revoked, Death Pedal 2, and Stay Strapped. Alongside these, he has also released some of the more popular web edits of all time with the help of Matt Spencer.
After a brief bike hiatus starting in 2017, Congo re-emerged on a bike in 2020 and is currently still putting out content and riding consistently.
