-Any special activities going on at the booth during the show? Sure, the fans can come meet Toby Henderson and get a free Bawls Energy Drink. They can also check out some BMX Track video footage from a GoPro Camera mounted on the ABA #1 Pro, Danny Caluag. -How many people are going to help out in your booth during the show? We will have a staff of 10 People at the show.
-Are you actually taking orders at the show or is it more to show products to the dealers and get contacts? If the sales people are doing their job, yes they should be taking orders. We have some great show only specials that dealers will be keen on.
-Are any of your riders coming to Interbike? Yes, Danny Caluag will be there, as well as a bunch of riders we support for THE, SINZ, and ITS. -Would you think a contest/Race at Interbike would be a good idea since loads of people (industry/riders/media) are there already? Yes, every year we say the same thing and it never happens. Eurobike has a small course in the center of the show for MTB’s and BMX and it is very cool and adds so much to the atmosphere of the event. If more people got to see Dirt Jumping, BMX racing at Interbike, it would be a huge help. GT had it right a few years back with the air show in their booth.
-What party are you looking forward to? The one that happens Friday Night when I leave Interbike!
-What would make the 2008 edition of Interbike a success for you? 2008 was a great year for VSI and I think the 2008 Show will be another great time for us. To be a success, the best things we can have is new dealers and customers coming to the booth to become Intense BMX dealers, as well as sell our other brands.
