Glenn Milligan on Fuel!

by Todd Toth

Vital BMX’s own Glenn “PP” Milligan was on The Daily Habit last week. Glenn was invited on the Fuel show to talk about the Big, Big BMX Show that airs ever other week on Vital BMX. The segment was pretty funny as Glenn talked about Vital, some of his other projects, and even worked in a skit hassling host Pat Parnell (“why don’t you quit bothering me and go get me a Snickers?”).

The show aired on May 22nd, but you can catch it in reruns on Fuel TV.

Check Vital BMX to watch any Big, Big BMX Show episodes.

Vital Sponsoring Outdoor Nationals

by Todd Toth

Once again Vital MX is sponsoring this year’s outdoor nationals. If you’re at any of the races, peak around the track and you’ll see our banners. Thanks to the crew at MX Sports for another great partnership.

We scored a great banner location at last weekend’s opening round. Glen Helen had a really rad uphill triple locate right before a right hand turn. Because the jump was huge, a crowd built around that section of the track. Check out Ryan Villipoto (450 winner) clearing the section below.

GuyB has plenty more great photos from Glen Helen right here.

Vital BMX Tech Tips

by Todd Toth

We recently partnered with Action Village to create an informational video series called Tech Tips. With content coming and going so quickly now-a-days, we’re excited to create a resource that will have great lasting value.

Action Village sponsored pro Brian Kachinsky hosts the videos and kicks down a wealth of knowledge on maintenance, safety gear, tools and more. You can see all of the Tech Tips here. Below is the first video to be featured on the Vital BMX homepage.

Hats off to Brian and Action Village for helping us create these videos.
