Pro Perspective with Ernie “E-Dub” Vigil

Well I did it again! Another season underway and yet another injury. It seems the more the sport grows, so do our riding abilities, and with that comes danger – maximum danger! There’s gotta be something in the air because the more I look at it, we truly are out of our minds. I mean who in the hell ever thought of going 100 mph in a wheelie with no hands?

We say it like it’s nothing, like it’s the trick we’re going to try at the next practice session. But to the average person we must look like whackos from Mad Max Beyond Thuderdome. We must have been those kids who grew up riding BMX, and as we got older we finally figured out that pedaling just wasn’t cutting it. We want power – and lots of it! We’ve managed to take a traditional transportation vehicle and form it into a tool of our craft. And not just any tool, but a fire-breathing, two-wheeled death machine that only talks one language: rev limiter!
