Matt Coplon – The BMX In Our Blood Podcast

July 9, 2018

Matt Coplon sits down for an interview for “The BMX In Our Blood” Podcast…

The latest interview from The BMX In Our Blood podcast has arrived. This time around Matt Coplon from Profile Racing sits down to talk about everything from how he got into BMX and his job at Profile Racing to what he’s into these days when he rides to being vegetarian and straight edge, music, writing and much, much more. Matt is one of the best dudes in BMX and this interview kicks a ton of ass. Definitely give this a listen!

“Episode 40, the one I stressed the most for but also looked forward to because Matt Coplon is so well read and knowledgeable in so many areas of life, many of which I’m not familiar with. After all that stressing we found that neither of us had all the answers and just more in common with our passion for BMX. So enjoy the podcast and a couple songs by Matt and his past bands, Reversal of Man and Light Yourself On Fire. You can also find Matt at www.proficeracing.com or through IG by his name. Enjoy the interview and the week!” – Joe Doherty

Performance BMX In Brussels

July 9, 2018

The Performance BMX crew spent some time exploring spots in Brussels…

We don’t see a ton of BMX videos coming out of Brussels, but it’s safe to say the place has some great spots! The Performance BMX crew over in France spent a few days there recently exploring the spots and stacking clips. After all was said and done, they ended up with a real dialed video! Check out what they cooked up for clips!

“We still don’t know how they managed to find four days of sun in northern Europe in typically horrible Spring-time but this looks definitely like a quality time spent in Brussels by the Parisian “Performance’ crew, visiting Belgium’s local (and infamous) Cluut Crew. The Belgium capital has so much to offer, in the daytime… and at night, and what you see in this edit might just have you re-organising your next European trip.” – DIG
