Profile Racing’s Neighbourhood Crawl: TULSA

July 1, 2019

It’s pretty easy to catch a video from Southern California, Barcelona, Spain or one of the many other heavily populated locations that BMX riders tend to flock to, but there are also a ton of great places that don’t get explored nearly as often. Recently, some of the Profile Racing crew spent some time cruising the street spots, parks and ditches around Tulsa, Oklahoma. During their stay, plenty of clips were stacked and good times were had. Hit play and take it all in and think about some of the less common places you could go for some riding!

““For this second installment of Profile’s neighborhood Crawl, we brought Shane and Dillon Leeper as well as Billy Woodfin to Tulsa in the Spring of 2019.

While avoiding the impending, seriously oppressive summer, we used my wife’s house as a homebase, and explored the innards and outards of T-Town for a total of 5 days.

Here’s the fruits of our fun…We hope you enjoy.” – Matt Coplon/Profile

Thanks to Russell Wadlin, Aaron Anderson, and especially Kyle Kisling, for continuing to make Tulsa one of the most enjoyable cities to travel to.

Thanks to Trey Ehart and Entertainment for usage of the song “Confusion of Senses” featured on the album “Gender” released on Stickfigure Records.

We couldn’t be happier to host this DIG Locals video – enjoy, and look out for more from this guy in the future.
