I think that Vitards can't be cool in any way shape or form.

Your question is like if 40 yo parents ask their kid if they are cool. The kid most likely will roll eyes and fortnite-dance away from the room.

Says the guy who has, “Proud to be a Vitard,” in his signature.

I didn’t coin the nickname. I’m not particularly fond of it. It doesn’t apply to all the members here, but sometimes it’s appropriate.
GuyB, Vitard is *ffing awesome. I'm proud to be part of the national guard...it's happening...

Ps. Life is too short, we may not think about it now but sooner or later the penny drops. I have just lost my best friend of 38 yrs and now I have realised...treat everyone as if it's their last day.. you never know when it ends.

Oh, this is going to be good. To coin a phrase, Ping's more popular than the slutty cheerleader on ecstasy at a high school party around here.

Hey folks,

I’m excited to announce that I have taken a position here at Vital MX as an Editor-At-Large. I’ll be involved with their bike testing department, as well as a couple other features here on the site. One of those, titled @PING, will be a weekly question and answer column that will post every Friday and provide insight on the most pressing issues in our sport. The answers may, or may not, contain humor, sarcasm, and/or toxic masculinity.

Post your questions on this thread or simply drop me an email to ping@vitalmx.com

Remember, there are no stupid questions… and if there are, I’ll answer them appropriately.

See you back here every Friday.

PING
Hell yeah Ping, good to hear!

Maybe this world wide web thing is here to stay. Great news. Oh and can you get us a TLD ad already? You didn't really think you'd be riding bikes all day did you?

The Vital Nation had the moniker "Vitards" foisted upon us by the industry GOBN (good ole boys network)--we didn't come up with it... But, like a band of brothers, we embraced it and made it ours. If the Vital PTB don't like it---all the more reason to claim it and own it. We drive traffic (i.e. revenue), and yet we are still despised by our handlers. 😄

Is Newmann out of jail yet? 👈

I have liked Ping since he was a PC rider. But he hates Vital. Was there some layoffs at the firehouse?
