Sneak Peek: Eclat – Carbon Fiber Full Guard Sprocket

April 1, 2015

We have seen a lot of innovation in BMX products with materials that we once thought wouldn’t quite do the job, that ended up actually working really well. The guys over at Eclat just released photos of their new Carbon Fiber Full Guard Sprocket that uses a new proprietary process that makes the sprocket just as strong as 4130 heat-treated chromoly without the added weight. Unfortunately, because it’s made of Carbon Fiber, they couldn’t make it work with the steel spline drive inserts, though.

Full specs and details can be found on the ECLAT WEBSITE.

Oh by the way, you should really see this, too!

Profile Racing – Kent Pearson Always on the Move

April 1, 2015

You don’t even know how excited we were to wake up to an email from Matt Coplon with a link to the new Kent Pearson Profile Racing video inside! Check out Kent’s latest video packed full of street and skatepark front brake magic that was filmed over the course of last year! This one does not disappoint!

“Kent had asked me at the end of 2014 if I’d be interested in editing some clips for him. Although I immediately said yes, the more I thought about it, the more it stressed me out. And then the clips came on a card, via snail mail, wrapped up perfectly in a little pill box. Dialed. Like everything Kent has his hands in.
The pressure was on…
I’ve always had the utmost respect for Kent: I’m super into his riding, style, progression, and love for bmx…the last thing I wanted to do was to not give his footage justice.
So I dove in, slowly…
Here is a cache of clips filmed throughout 2014. We want to thank Kent for years of support: transcending that notion, we’re proud that he’s part of our family here at Profile.
In Kent’s camera bag, there is a mix of SD cards. The one that captured this footage was titled ‘Always on the Move’….Hence the title.
In the end, I’m stoked on the final piece, and actually had quite a good time putting it together.
I hope you enjoy watching as much as I had piecing it together.” -Matt Coplon

Filming care of: Mason Pearson, Kyle Kelsey, Nick Thurmond, Chase Hamilton, Jake Stancil, Kowboi Roberts, Jeremy Infelise, and Conor Mckeon.
