Oh
Man
Before we actually get into all this
Let's backtrack a little bit as a lot of you guys may know I went to China recently and I was there for I believe
like three weeks ish a month what I went there for
Was kind of a secret I went there specifically to learn how a lot of things are built in the scooter industry now
I've I've kind of worked at the scooter industry like the actual business perspective of it a couple of times
But I never got as deep as I did when I was in China that part probably doesn't really matter all that much to you
Guys yet. A lot of you guys came here specifically for the title my new sponsor, which is a hundred percent true
That is actually true. This is a new sponsor of mine
I will be riding a lot of parts from this company, but it's not the situation that you're actually thinking about
It's not like a company just specifically came to me we arrived for us. Yes or no
But that's not what happened. Envy approached me recently and we talked about kind of joining forces and
making something new
That I was an actual large part of which is why I went to China. I learned a lot about how scooters are made
I learned a lot about how things are ran over there
I learned a lot about logistics things like that
And I learned a lot about design and I actually ate it in a lot of the design
With the parts that are gonna be introduced with this brand. This is not a huge box
It's a decent sized box and it's heavy but there's not like a complete scooter in here. There's not a deck in here
There's not Forks. There's not bars. There's nothing like that inside of this box
We've been working on actually making and producing parts like those like larger components decks wheels bars forks
Etc. All we have are the smaller components like grips grip tape things like that
Which I will show you in just a second. The brand's name is
Vital when env came to me they said hey we have this idea for this new brand
You want to make this new sister company of envy they have all of the people that work behind
Envy as of right now to help with the growth of the company
They have all their designers that
design
All the envy stuff as well as me
Helping and they wanted to see if I wanted to be a part of it and I put a lot of thought into it
I wasn't
100% sure if I wanted to do it if I wanted to kind of I kind of fade away from writing and that's not what
I'm doing that's what that was
My main concern about doing the whole thing was I didn't want to get away from the writing aspect of what I actually do
But when I told the guys about that from Envy they said that they don't want me to do that either right now
It's not my time to get super super into things like this right now. I'm still a writer. I'm still an influencer
I still do YouTube. Let's do the Instagram. Snapchat all that stuff
So I want to be able to post on those things every day because that's what I truly truly love. I love doing that
I love communicating with you guys and I like making your guy's day a little bit better
Although I do have a large part in this brand
I'm working with them a lot to try to get things going and I want to see this thing grow
I want to see what it's like to see something grow from just a seed to a tree or a plant whatever you want to
Really use that example for so without further ado. Let me show you a couple of the parts that we have here
So like I said
grips
Those are definitely one of the things that this brand will be making we have six different colors and grips right now to choose from
a lot of you guys have actually seen me kind of tease this a little bit on my grip tape you guys have actually seen
a video of me riding a
prototype of the deck that we actually scrapped so don't go back and look at that be like that's what's gonna look like because it's
Not but a lot of you guys have seen
Like one of my recent scooter builds where I put some Emmy grips on and rode those for a while
But then I switched over to another grip this is that grip this is the vital grip
you can't really see the design all that well and this one but this is the clear version that I am riding right now as
You guys can see can you really see? Yeah. There you go. You can see my finger
So clear version probably my favorite as of right now, which is why I'm riding them first
we kind of tried to stay really close to really bright colors things that were really vivid that a lot of people like so
Next up we have the bright pink
A lot of people have a love/hate relationship with pink, but I think that this color is super super loud
And right now Steve is actually riding these grips, which you guys might have seen his scooter recently
I know I did the top ten pranks video that you can do on your friends
which of you guys did not see that video make sure you click up click that card go check that video out and you'll actually
See these grips on a scooter. But yeah, Steve is riding these grips right now. I
love the way that these feel and
For a little bit info on these they are a hundred and sixty millimeters long just like the envy TPR grips made in the same
Factory, so it's the same compound that the end groups are made out of same kind of rubbery
very soft feeling although the grip pattern is
definitely a little bit different you guys can see that it has the vytal logo on the inside of the grip right there and
When you put your hand over this
it feels
Really really?
Interesting doesn't feel bad at all because I've been riding these for a little while and I actually have a couple other people riding them
As of right now, I know I have Steve riding them my boy
Chris Thompson asked if he could have a pair of he's gonna be riding them and I think he wrote Steve's as well and he
Gave me some good feedback. So it feels really interesting. But it feels good pink pair pretty sick
we also have the bright yellow which I think looks really cool on like a full nutri scooter because they really really stand out we
Have the bright green which is pretty close to the bright yellow
But you guys can see that the yellow is definitely a lot louder if that's going for this one
You can actually see that design a little bit better. It's very it's it's very much a ribbed kind of grip kind of I
want to use like the
Siri just turned on
Hey Siri, shut up
It's a little hack for you
If you want Syria to be quiet just tell her shut up and she won't say anything else
Try it. Every single pair of grips comes with bar ends. Of course, just like a lot of grips in the scooter community
Do we also have a couple other colors?
We have the bright blue
which I will
Definitely be riding because this is a super close color to my actual signature deck that I have with envy right now
Which you can get at WWE Warner comm if you want to snag one again. They come with the bar ends
The bar ends are kind of just like a regular chill bar and they don't have any branding on the back end of them
But they are very very clean with the end of the grip definitely the same size as you guys can see right there just flows
In nicely so that everything looks simply clean and of course gotta have the black every loves black grips
I've written black grips a million different times we all have
Same grip pattern as before and they also have the vital Instagram right there. So if you guys want to check out the Instagram
Right there
We will be posting a lot of updates as to when you will be able to get all these parts as well as new designs
New ideas, etc. Etc. So if you guys want to check out the Instagram go check it out
So those are all the grips that we have to offer right now
We'll probably end up coming out with more designs way later on
But as of right now, like I said these feel great I've been riding him for a little while now
this is my third pair that I've ridden and I'm gonna have a lot more people riding them just to make sure that
Everybody else will kind of like them as well next up grip tape
There's so many different styles have to grab out never thought I would complain about that
Are you freaking serious
truth be told I actually haven't even counted how many different designs there are with these but let me find out right now one for
813 that's a lot of grip tape some of you guys might not want to see every single design of grip tape
So if you don't you can skip forward to this time right here
But I definitely want to be able to show those that do want to see all of these
I want to make sure to give them all of that quick little free
First things first. We'll start with the easiest one
Just a normal bottle logo right across the front white logo black grip tape and this grip tape is super thick
We have the vinyl blue logo, which actually matches these grips perfectly
So if you guys want to run vital grip tape and vital grips. This is the way to do it right here
Like I said earlier, we're kind of liking the very bright colors
So the next one up is kind of a cool little design. This is the
Vital vitals part vitals. I don't exactly know what they're called. I'm assuming they're vital signs vital
the little dashed lines
zigzags a very very bright orange if you guys are into the super bright colors another one kind of close to that last design is
the vinyl logo with the
Zig zags in bright blue again matches that blue grip color. So if you like that really blue kind of
Smurfy luck in color. That's all you another one for the bright color lovers
We have the bright green which you know it matches that bright green grip
All the sheets of grip tape that I have in my hand right here are six inches wide by I believe 23 inches long
Where's mine? Yeah, 23 6 by 23 so they were a match pretty much any scooter that you put them up to
So if you guys want to get the new doo-deen deck it'll fit right on there. Next one is a different vinyl logo
This is our bomb logo. So this is the bottle logo that you'll be seeing a lot on stickers
Maybe a lot on like stamps that we have on bars later on on wheels things like that
This is the logo that you will see so get familiar now
The next few sheets are they're very different than what you guys have seen on a lot of other grip tapes
I'm not saying that this is the first time that you've ever seen it ever, but it's definitely not something that's very common
So we'll start with this one here
this looks just like the grip tape that I just now showed you it's got that vital logo on the bottom as well as the
Vital balm logo on the top, although the logos on this black sheet of grip tape are not the same as the white one
I just showed you these are
Reflective so when they hit the sunlight correctly they make this logo super super bright or if you do get this grip tape
Another little thing you can do is you can take your phone
put the flash on and take a picture of it and you'll truly see how bright this stuff is when you
light to it
Next up is the closest thing to oil slick grip tape that I've seen and this is actually the grip tape that I'm writing
Right now, so if you see me on my scooter and you want to try this stuff out. Just ask me
I'll let you read my scoop. This is the sparkle grip tape with the small bottle logo
So if you guys don't like huge logos on your grip tape, no problem. You've got a small one right here
You can cut it out put it wherever you want. It's very sparkly
It's just the greenish kind of color. And like I said when I put this up against like my sob v-3 fork
It's really really close to the kind of shine that it gives off, but very very interesting very different
I personally haven't seen this one yet
You guys might have like I said
I just I personally have it and I think it's really really neat another one in that reflective color
Is this gold kind of darker color?
So I think this woman go really really good on
like that gold band and I call it a color that you see on like some prodigies or
The kind of darkest brown color you see on some of the Colts out there or maybe just a full black scoop
That would look really sick on there - next up we have the red Sparkle
I'm kind of bending it in like this
so you guys can sort of see like
When I go against that light you can kind of see the sheen that it gives off, but this one's really sick
I might end up writing this one of my next two
But if I do I'm gonna have to keep everything kind of dark colored this one. I will be riding very soon
Yeah, the blue sparkle is frickin sick
You guys didn't really see it
When I do that - and last but not least was supposed to be like halfway in the bundle
But we have another huge vital logo. And again, this is that reflective colorway
So if you guys want that reflective stuff you want to take that picture with your phone and kind of see what happens
This is the one to go with you guys will see vital parts on my scooter alot from now on so you go definitely see
the grips and grip tape for a while that is until I get like the forks and
If I get bars any time soon, that would be awesome
So I will keep you guys updated as to what's going on with the brand here on my youtube channel

Moment, but I'm really really excited about this project
Now I've wanted to be a part of a scooter brand
for a long time and I don't just mean being a part of a sponsor or
Like working in an office or something like that. I've always wanted to give my input as a writer and see it actually
implemented so that other writers can enjoy
