MAT OLSON in: "One morning in May we were all just chilling in the shop and for some reason started discussing our thoughts about the past present and future of BMX". "One of the things said was that we believed some of the fun is being taken out of riding. It should never be a job or a chore. One thing that we have always tried to do, and will always continue to do, is support each generation the best we can. Our customers range in age from 3 to 63, but one thing is The same about all of them: if they aren't kids now, they were kids at one point. Kids without too many responsibilities. Instead, just kids who woke up each day stoked to ride BMX for fun. Not for views, or likes, or sponsor impose social media requirements. So, we decided to celebrate the young guns in our local scene with a video project which would document the fun. We wanted everyone to remember the good old days where you put and work to find new spots, where bangers work required, egos didn't exist, and all it was about meeting up without a real plan on having a blast. Thanks to our empire customers young and old. Take a day off and Chad some spots with your crew, and let your inner kid shine". ^^^ | That's on the inside booklet of the zone it comes in.

Ride BMX Nora Cup award for Flatland 2015

 Presenting an award at Nora was easy to say “YES” but my nerves were shot just a few moments before. With a prepared speech, notes, and key words I just freestyle’d it and lived in the moment. Taking my shirt off was an easy ice-breaker but then I did not know what to do next. So many people thought I have presented already but this was my first time. I did win 3 of these 2002-2004 so I have been on stage a lot. Then Matt Closson gave me a drink and it really threw me off. I told everyone people were back stage writing all over me like I was drunk and passed out. People expected some homo stuff so the attack on Fudger had to happen. Guess he was a bit scared of the way I wanted to give him a black eye. Viki Gomez killed it all year and in the past years and well deserved win. He touched on me being his idol, progression, for BMX making this award, and its not about winning contests…its progression. He said BMX saved his life. Thank you Crandall for kicking ass as the host. The rest of the presenters killed it. And to RideBMX the last standing magazine in BMX. Subscribe, support, let’s keep BMX alive. –Chad DeGroot Duration 3:45 Filmed by: Eve DeGroot
Check out Vital BMX and Karl Poynter 10 Insights into opening a bmx shop.
"Owning and operating a bike shop isn’t easy and running a BMX-specific shop is even harder. I know it all too well. For over a decade, I lived the shop life alongside my brother. While some understand the real work that goes into running a brick-and-mortar retail space, a lot of people seem to think it’s a breeze. There are many aspects of running a BMX shop - not just fixing a few tires and sitting behind a glass case. It can be really rewarding and incredibly frustrating at the same time. So, before you jump into opening one, let’s scratch the surface and touch on ten key things that may help you along the way." -Karl Poynter
