Your handle bars are most likely stripped or the mongoose head is stripped or a combination of both. Unscrew the bolt you just tightened and take the handle bars off to inspect the little splined area, if smooth than handle bars need to be replaced. The neck should also have those little lines horizontally this area should not be smooth. You can try to wirebrush the area and out it back together, see if that works or the cheapest thing to replace would be the handle bars. When I was a kid I would pin my handle bars so they would not move cause we did a lot of jumping of our bikes and had a lot of stripped handle bars. Mongoose is a good stem I would lean towards new bars. Good Luck...
Well if you mean what is twenty inch, its the wheel. The wheel diameter (from one point on the rim through the center and to the other side) is twenty inches.
Look into the 2011 Mongoose (mongoose.com) bikes, or possibly some more specialist BMX brands such as WeThePeople (wethepeoplebmx.de), Verde (verdebmx.com) or United (unitedbikeco.com).
Dude it basically is just a hardtail mountain bike shrunk down with a CroMo frame instead of the standard Alum frames everyone else uses. What is it that you're looking for as all bike makers have something very similar to this, I just bought my son a GT that looks almost identical.

thank you for using Fixya. the issue you are experiencing is pretty much your free wheel. If it is new, it may have been installed the other way around or the clip in the assembly that serves as a spring for the chainwheel to lock out has been worn out.
Best if you will be able to remove the rear wheel and then check the whole rear hub assembly starting with the freewheel and the axle.
