If you’re wondering how we choose the Featured Members here on Vital BMX, you are not alone. To let you in on how it’s done, here are the things we look for.

1. Main Profile Image and About Me
If you don’t have a photo of you (or something interesting) in your Main Image in your Profile, you will never make the cut. So the first thing to do is to get a cool photo uploaded, and then add some info to your About Me section.

2. Photos
The Photo area of your Profile is open to anything you’d like add. Photos of you riding, photos of your scene, girlfriend, etc. This way when people come to your Profile, they can take a quick look and get an idea of what you’re about.

3. Blog and Friends
Now all you need to do is write in your blog now and then and link up with some friends. You don’t need to write anything super long, but again, this is how other members can get to know you, so try to add some good stuff. When you’re checking out other Profiles on Vital and you see someone that looks interesting, hit the “Add to Friends” link and start making friends.

We don’t stick to these rules 100% of the time, but those factors weigh heavily. The more members we can feature the better, so get to it. If you have a Profile that is worthy but you haven’t been chosen, shoot me an e-mail at mlosey@vitalbmx.com and I will check it out for sure.
