Matt Coplon, longtime TM/ rider/ wearer of many hats at Profile, celebrated moving up to Level 4.2 by putting together another collection of clips captured over the last year or so (this is his third such edit since he hit level 4). The last line at the infamous Buena Vista pool is classic. Long may these parts continue!” – DIG

Thanks to Profile Racing.

Thanks to Eric “Easy” Fabrisiak, Steve Caro, Dillon Leeper, Bobby Proctor, Jeff Maurer, Chad Degroot, Luis Pinzon, Chris Childs, Eric Holladay, and Kyle Kisling for motivation and assistance with filming.

FISE Montpellier 2019 – BMX Dirt Best Trick Jam

May 30, 2019

After a hiatus, FISE brought dirt back to their Montpellier stop! During dirt qualifying, they decided to throw down a best trick jam and a bunch of riders dropped into throw down! Here’s a bunch of clips from the jam giving us a look at the action. Despite a little wind, it looks like there was no shortage of bangers. Take a peek!

“FISE 2019 Pro Dirt Qualifying got off to a windy start today and after about an hour of waiting around to see if the wind chilled, the decision was made to postpone qualifying until tomorrow. But despite the windy conditions, some riders were sending it anyway so 500 Euros were put on the line and a Best Trick Jam was declared. When it was all said and done, Kaine Mitchell rode away from a frontflip whip and clinched the cash. ” – Our BMX
