Tyler Manning – 10 Short Years

April 1, 2024

Tyler Manning takes a look back at 10 years of riding.

Here’s a new one Tyler Manning put together taking a look back at the past decade of riding, traveling and good times on his bike. It’s crazy how fast time flies when you’re having a fun. Take a look!

“My BMXing days came to end recently so I decided to put all my favourite clips from over the years into a single video. I’ve never had an edit all to myself so here it is. Had a blast editing this one and a even bigger one filming all of these clips over the years. BMX gave me so much and I loved every second of it.” – Tyler Manning

Brian Tunney – January – March 2024 Clips

April 1, 2024

Brian Tunney is back with a fresh edit!

After his monthly videos these past few years, we were bummed when one didn’t come out in February, and then March rolled around and once again… No Brian Tunney video on the 1st that we had become so accustomed to seeing. Well, it looks like he’s going quarterly to make things better! Here’s a look at what he cooked up from his garage flatland sessions from January, February and March all in one!

“Hi, I’m back. I had grand plans for this final video of my 40s, but instead I just decided to showcase my somewhat daily riding in the garage. I realize it’s been a few months since I last uploaded a video, but I’ve also felt less pressure after moving away from the post one video per month schedule. And this is the result: 26 things from inside the garage, ranging from undertaker to juggler with some slight tweaks and odd cancans to keep the ball moving forward.

Since the last video, I’ve:
1) Built up a new bike (S&M Dagger)
2) Went deep on invisible hand stuff
3) Rode in 40 degree weather
4) Listened to a lot of Jeff Parker EVA IVtet ‘Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy’

Go buy it right here!

I used side B of that improvised album here, because a lot of my riding feels much the same, just trying things and seeing if they’ll work. Some of it works, some of it doesn’t. The important thing, as I depart my 40s and enter into, gulp, my 50s, is that it’s still fun.

Good luck getting through 6 minutes and 52 seconds of footage, and thanks for attempting to watch!

*Also, some of these clips are actually from December 2023, but I left that out of the title so it wasn’t too complicated.” – Brian Tunney

Profile Racing – Home Turf with the Halahan’s

March 28, 2024

The Halahan squad get some laps in, in their backyard!

Over the years we’ve seen plenty of siblings and families that are fully crushing it in BMX, but none quite like the Halahan family. This squad all crush it on and off the bikes, and they have one hell of a backyard trails spot. Here’s a fresh video Profile Racing released from some sessions the whole crew got in before winter hit.

“It’s quite the treat witnessing the Halahans shredding their local spot 9 Acres in Western Pennsylvania. The stratospheric trajectory of Lukas, Nate, Shane, and Kaci’s riding skills, and the exponential expansion of 9 Acres over the last few years helps confirm the bonus of having like-minded siblings to ride and build with on a daily basis. Here’s a glimpse into some synchronized casual cruising by the entire Halahan clan on home turf.
