News Vital BMX

Vital BMX had a recent poll asking its members who their favorite dirt rider was and Mike Aitken not only took the title, but he also had more than twice the number of votes than anybody else! Congratulations Mikey!!!!

Here’s some more Chase Hawk footage lurking around on the web. This one comes in the form of a Vans advert, inter-spliced with riding and hip blasting inverts. He didn’t mention anything about rocket boosters being integrated into his shoes though so the source of his incredible boosting abilities still remains a vague mystery.

First, The Big Big BMX Show #6 is up at Vital BMX and in it, you can catch Jim Bauer, McGoo and Chris Moeller discussing CPSC testing and helmet use.

Second, our Twitter page is constantly being updated. You’ll see things on there not found anywhere else, such as Matt Beringer’s custom made guard for the Ratchet. We even recently put up a quick contest in there to win Ribcage rims and Tanwalls tires! Subscribe to the feed and keep checking the tweets.

Third, we have a few backgrounds floating around that you can use for your MySpace, Vital, blog or whatever websites you might have going on. Hit up the jump to check those out.

Taj Mihelich has an interview up on Vital BMX and in case you missed it, he has a rather lengthy post on his blog dealing with shoe sponsors and origins of the coined public media name for BMX. It’s definitely worth the read. Click HERE to read it.
