Profile Racing – Eye Two Seven Five

April 30, 2021

The Profile Racing team loaded up for a trip bouncing around Florida to ride different parks, street spots and backyard ramps. Here’s a 4 minute video giving us a look at what they got into along the way! Needless to say, it looks like these guys had a real good time despite some unpredictable weather!

“Eye two seven five is the interstate artery that runs through Tampa Bay connecting Tampa, St. Pete, and Clearwater. In hindsight, this interstate happened to be the thoroughfare that took us to every spot over the course of 5 days in February, 2021.

Considering Covid restrictions, the crew drove into town, camped in our friend’s backyard, and did their best to navigate the unpredictable Florida winter. From 80 to 40 degrees, from clear, scorching skies, to 3 days of monsoon rains.

Profile Racing Neighborhood Crawl – Tampa

March 13, 2020

Profile Racing‘s Neighborhood Crawl series continues! This time around we get a mix of park, street and backyard ramp footage from the Profile squad out cruising in Tampa, Florida! This video has a super good mix of riding and styles, along with plenty of great spots. Hit play and take this all in!

“In January of 2020, I brought part of our crew back down to Tampa for the third Profile Neighborhood Crawl. Over the past year, my hometown has seen a DIY renaissance with a cache of freshly built backyard set-ups and do-it-yourself street spots, all within the backdrop of our communities having stepped up to advocate for a plethora of new public skateparks. This muli-media feature is a celebration of where Tampa Bay has come from, it’s roots in both punk and bmx, and to what it has become.” – Matt Coplon

“Filmed by our whole crew as well as Jona Jachan.

Riding by Cory Foust, Chris Childs, Bobby Proctor, Lucas Porzio, Alex Tate, Dylan Kakowski, Mark Mulville, and Chad Degroot.
