There’s a new kid on the block in BMX website land. Vital BMX launched today and they’ve got a movie up with Dave Mirra explaining things about the Mirraco line of bikes. The clip shows Dave on the bike as well, something you won’t be seeing in real life soon as he’s healing from his lacerated liver for the next couple of weeks.

Check out the movie.

Ryan Guettler has been taking photos for a while and was recently invited to send some of his work to Germany to be part of the amazing Rebel Jam photo art show. The opening of the show was well attended and lasted for a weekend. Click the tumbnail for an enlargement of two of Ryan’s pics. He had a total of 4 pieces up in Berlin.

Ryan Guettler made it over to Germany this past weekend for the Rebel Jam. Sunday was rained out so there was no street and no miniramp final. This meant that the qualifying rounds on the spine mini ramp were used as the final results. Ryan happened to do a back to back run and qualified in first, giving him the win in the end. The dirt jump contest on Saturday evening was scored differently. Instead of one regular score, the riders were judged on Style, Creativity and Hard Tricks. Ryan got an award for 2nd place in the Creative part and got 4th in Hard Trick.

In the Propaganda section of the Mirraco site you can find 2 Mirraco stencils. Print them out, cut them out and get creative. After that, send us your results and we’ll post the best ones here on mirrabikeco.com. Here are some tips:�

STENCILS

1) Use only flat spray paint.

2) Do not let wet paint dry up on the stencil.

3) Relax, let paint dry before each application.

4) Stencils should be held flat to the surface to be painted with a light mist of spray adhesive.

5) Failure to obey local ordinances may result in prosecution. Do not vandalize. Spray at your own risk!
