Vital’s Whip-Off Worlds

by Patrick Male

What do you get when you mix some of the world’s sickest slopestyle riders, fastest World Cup downhill racers, a big whip challenge, and the biggest jump line in the Whistler Bike Park? You get Vital’s Unofficial Whip-Off Worlds – called by some the best event at Crankworx. It all started with a simple idea and a few tweets from our man Sven Martin. The rogue contest idea spread like wildfire, and before we knew it SRAM and Teva were offering up prizes, the best riders in the world were excited to participate, and Whistler Village was buzzing with people spreading the word about the underground contest. The Whip-Off Worlds did not disappoint – click on the image below to check out a photo gallery from the event.

Vital Mobile Now With HD Video!

by Todd Toth

Since much of the growth on our mobile sites the past year is video, we’re excited to announce the sites now support HD video. Because HD videos are bigger files than standard videos, we let users choose which version they view based on their connection speed. I tested on my iPhone4 with a wifi connection and was really impressed with the HD quality.

See for yourself by visiting any Vital site (you’ll automatically be redirected to the mobile version) on your iPhone or Android device.
