Sweat, not Sweet 6/9/2008 6:51 PM

Complaining about hot weather is pretty stupid coming from me, considering that I left the always-perfect SoCal climate in exchange for East Coast humidity. But still, it's only the beginning of June. Do we really need 100-degree days? Already?

End Search 4/8/2008 10:31 AM

I finally got to see End Search and it did not let me down! Everyone involved with that video handled their business, that's for sure. Amazing parts all around, by my 3 favorites had to be Will Love, Dave Dillewaard, and Ryan Nyquist. Freaking nuts. I had to leave the crash section alone, though. I hate watching...more

The Evens and William Shatner 2/28/2008 9:38 AM

I got an iTunes gift card for my birthday and it's been a slow-go turning it into actual music. Let's just say I get picky when spending money, even when it's a present. I finally bought two things, though. "Common People" from William Shatner (you know it's good) and the album from The Evens. I wasn't too...more

Spots in the Desert 2/26/2008 12:02 PM

Just got home from a Phoenix-Vegas road trip. Spots aplenty, and we got to hang out with Smoker Dave who is cancer free. It was a great trip and two things are for sure. First, if you live near the Chandler Bike Park, you are stoked. Second, long live the Hard Rock.

Woodward Winter 2/14/2008 7:27 AM

I had to shoot photos at Woodward for a couple days, and the shoot just happened to fall on the launch of the new Vital BMX. I hope you are all into the new look, and thanks for all the feedback that's been coming in. Aaron, our main IT guru is constantly making tweaks, so the site is just going to keep getting...more

That's It=The Best 2/8/2008 5:23 AM

I've been watching a ton of videos lately, and the 50/50 video titled "That's It" is the one that blew me away the most. So much great riding, incredible filming and editing, and it shows these guys simply have fun. But what else would you expect from Elf, Mike Aitken, Skier, J, Beringer,...more

Leopard Attack 11/6/2007 12:57 PM

I’m a sucker for new Apple stuff, but today has been a nightmare. Last night I bought a copy of Leopard and somehow it went crazy during install and required a complete system re-install—not psyched. Luckily I had a backup from a few days ago, but getting everything up and playing nice has been...more

Let 11/5/2007 3:42 AM

We’ve posted a few different video bike checks with pros over the past few days, but what about your bike? Do you have a dope bike and maybe a few good riding clips on your computer? If so, put together quick video bike check and upload it to the Video Homepage so everyone can check it out. This site...more

Blog Safety Net 8/29/2007 6:27 AM

Just to make sure weird stuff never happens when you're working on your Vital BMX blog, write it in another program where you can save often and then copy and paste it into your blog when you're ready. I don't want you to waste time re-typing anything.

Trouble Playing Videos? 8/13/2007 2:33 AM

If the videos are not working for you, can you please give me a little more info so we can find exactly what's happening?
--When did the problem happen
--What part of the world are you in
--What system are you running (Mac, PS, version of system software)
--What browser are you using, and what version?
Sorry...more

105-Degrees 8/9/2007 4:04 AM

Much respect to all of the riders in Arizona, New Mexico, and anywhere else where the summer is brutal. NC is hitting tripe digits all week, so I'm almost happy to be glued to this computer. Almost.

I Hate Dulles 5/5/2007 2:37 PM

I've only been living on the East Coast for two years and I now have every inch of the Washington Dulles airport memorized. I swear I get stuck here for hours every other week. Today is a particularly fun one. After about 19 hours of traveling coming home from China, I get stuck here for 5-1/2 hours trying...more

Bikes Banned from Goodyear? 3/30/2007 3:40 AM

According to AZCentral.com, bikes have been banned from Arizona's Goodyear skatepark. Not very cool.

Toronto Contest Day 1 3/2/2007 10:05 PM

The first day of amateurs in Toronto is over and went well. Only one guy really got hurt, and there were quite a few rippers. The highlight for me, though, was the group consisting of the four girl riders. They were seriously going for it. Rose was at the top of the wall ride every time, and Nina did a few...more

Haro Contest Wrap Up 2/18/2007 9:28 AM

The Join Team Haro contest officially wrapped up tonight in Greenville, NC. We are working hard on getting all of the photos and videos ready for your consumption (we have about 16 hours of video and 500 photos to go through). The results will be hitting Vital BMX very soon, so keep checking back, and watch...more

Haro Contest Day 2 2/17/2007 3:28 PM

Day two of the Haro contest is over, and the riding has been nuts. Check the Haro Contest Photo Album for 9 new pictures. All of the photos and videos from the event are going to hit Vital BMX this week, so keep checking back. It's going to be nearly impossible to narrow it down to the winner, but it's...more

Haro Contest Day 1 2/16/2007 2:04 PM

The first day of the Join Team Haro contest is over, and it was amazing. Yesterday a lot of the riders had never met each other, but today they're pretty much good friends. Today we stayed at The Unit all day and people were completely exhausted by dinner time. it's 1:00 am right now and a lot of people...more

The Birthday Party of All Time 1/19/2007 11:19 AM

Thanks to everyone who sent Happy Birthday messages yesterday. I partied hard by driving for 5 hours and seeing my son puke all over the back seat of my car. Party! Happy Birthday to Steve Swope and Alan Foster, too. We all have the same birthday, same year.
