Profile Racing – Dan Conway Welcome Video

March 12, 2021

Dan Conway is now doing it for Profile Racing! Here’s his welcome video that is packed with clips from the streets, parks, trails and backyard ramps, along with a bunch of guest clips from the Leeper Brothers and more, to bring the news! As always, Dan slays every rail and ledge in sight, and puts his brakes to good use, too! This is too good to miss, so hit play and enjoy!

“Our rider support philosophy at Profile has always left our team to decide who we invite on board.
Although we’ve known Dan for years, having the Leeper Brothers (who have now been on Profile for the past decade) reach out, expressing their strong connection to Dan (his personality, vibe, and of course, his riding), proved that his invite into the Profile family was a no-brainer. And after we recently spent a week with him on the road, his perpetual stoke and motivation was just icing on the cake.
Welcome aboard, Dan…to many more dialed trips with unending laughs and good times.” – Matt Coplon (Profile TM)

“I’m pumped to be a part of such a legendary brand. The overall vibe and expectation of the brand is simply this: have fun doing what you do, and just RIDE! And that’s pretty damn easy when I’m surrounded by the other guys on the team. The squad is the best group of dudes on and off the bikes. I’m stoked to see what the future brings! Wooo!” – Dan Conway

Simple Session 21 Trailer

March 12, 2021

Simple Session has just announced that they will be doing Simple Session 21 this August over in Tallinn, Estonia! Due to COVID, we didn’t get the annual contest that goes down in February, but with the brighter outlook thanks to vaccinations and everything, it looks like they will be able to do an even in August! This will be a smaller, invite only event, but we can imagine it will still be a banger! Check out the trailer up top, then full details down below!

“Simple Session will heat up the Estonian summer this August.

Simple Session 21 will be back in Tallinn, Estonia, on August 20th and 21st for a two-day festival and an all-around good time. The Simple Session series will host an exciting street-focused contest in the hip new Põhjala area – an old rubber factory turned into a cultural hub will serve as a thrilling new location for the event.

A tight selection of the finest BMX street riders and skateboarders from around the world will be invited to go head to head on a fresh Wessel-designed course.

Skateboarding and BMX are all about creativity. So is Simple Session – hosting the series in a whole new venue will take the entire contest experience to another level for athletes and viewers alike. The global health crisis has created obstacles and prevented us from hosting the annual wintertime event, but has, on the sunny side, prompted us to regroup and innovate the series, and we are delighted with the result.

The event celebrates the Estonian Restoration of Independence on the 20th of August, kicking off a long weekend of the best riding and Simple Session antics on and off the course. We are incredibly excited to host riders in the stunning Estonian summer after most athletes have experienced Estonia only in the cold winter months. It’s been 12 years since Tallinn last hosted a Simple Session summertime edition – that’s about to change.

Considering the pandemic, we will be taking health and safety measures very seriously to ensure our athletes, guests, spectators, and team’s safety and well-being.

This will be a boutique event with only a limited number of tickets coming on sale in May on the Simple Session’s website https://simple.session.ee.

Having started as just a local jam, Simple Session has become one of the world’s premier BMX and skateboarding contests. Since day one, the goal has been to create a unique experience for the spectators and athletes alike and become the ultimate rider’s event. Over the years, Simple Session has hosted most of the top BMXers and skateboarders and is now proud to stand out as the most free-spirited BMX and skateboarding events out there, as well as one of the longest standing contests in Europe. The series celebrated its 20th-anniversary last winter.

Simple Session 21 is presented by Doritos and sponsored by Red Bull, LHV, Kunstform, New Era, Heimon Gourmet, Visit Estonia, Metsä Wood, Athlon app, Estonian Ministry of Culture, Tallinn City, Telia, and Inspira channel.”

Wethepeople – Jordan Godwin 2021 Doomsayer Promo

March 12, 2021

Wethepeople released this short but sweet promo video featuring Jordan Godwin putting the latest version of his signature Doomsayer frame to work out in the streets! This one might be only a minute long, but it’s packed with a lot of great clips, so take a peek!

“What can actually be said to sum up Jordan Godwin? One of the most progressive street riders in the game, to say Jordan has earned a signature frame would be the understatement of the century. The Doomsayer Frame was a natural progression of the Battleship frame Jordan had been riding for the past 3 years combined with Jordan’s specific needs which have evolved over that time. With super progressive geometry, a beefed-up tube set and a unique hydroformed seat tube junction, the Doomsayer is one of the most advanced and robust street frames we’ve ever made. Now featuring a new “snag free’ invest cast dropout for minimal drag on grinds and a fresh set of graphics, the Doomsayer is back! Includes our lifetime guarantee.”
