Ernie Vigil: aka "E-Dub" - Started riding as a Race Tech support rider in the early 2011.
Ernie comes from Albuquerque, NM and has been setting the standard in Street Freestyle since 2001.
What started out as simple wheelies for bragging rights 10 years ago, turned into a full time career.
Ernie is now a professional Street Freestyler globetrotting the world doing what he loves to do.
You could say he's "living the dream". A dream that many of us wished we had the focus, ability and determination to make a reality. Although, no matter the amount of focus, ability or determination, the crashes and injuries are inevitable. Ernie believes to have any chance in this competitive sport you have to be on the edge everyday. His tenacity and drvie to push himself has led to injuries such as: a few broken collar bones, torn ACL, torn PCL, torn Meniscus, Lacerated liver, fractured heel, severed artery, nerve damage and all of the Road Rash that comes with it. Ernie’s perseverance has prevailed through these injuries keeping him at the top of his game in this sport. Being the true leader and innovator he is, Ernie has set the bar high for his competitors.
We welcome Ernie to the Race Tech family and wish him the best in all of his future endeavors.
