Snakebite keeping the sections flowing from the Primo “Made In Taiwan” video that was originally released back in 1998! This time around we get Chad DeGroot‘s section that is a mix of flatland and park moves. Not only is Chad killing the sideburns game in this, but the riding is damn good, too. Take a look! Plenty of front brake magic in this one.
It’s safe to say 1998 was a really good year for Primo from a team standpoint. They had an absolutely STACKED squad of legends. Here’s the mix section from their “Made In Taiwan” video that features Taj Mihelich, Nate Hansen, Robbie Morales, Chad Degroot, John Parker, Joe Rich, Brian Castillo and Josh Heino! Ramps, street and trails all packed into this one making for a damn good watch! What’s crazy to think about is that 5 of these guys went on to make their own brands; Terrible One, Cult, Volume / Demolition and Deco. Hit play and take is some classic BMX goodness!
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

It’s pretty wild how fast time flies when you’re having fun! DECO is celebrating their 10th anniversary already and Chad DeGroot put together this mix featuring all the different riders that have supported the brands over the years. This is a mix of street, flatland and park clips and it’s a real good watch. Congratulations to Chad on the milestone!
“Ten years old or young. Consider it young and still growing. Time does roll fast but memories remain the focus and growing by the day. Could go on and on but the main words I want to say are: Thank You to all the playas who ride and support this dream. Growing in the bmx business world is like a roller coaster; more smiles for miles and the gleaming and glistening of the future while keeping the passion going.
I want more. Way more. Thank you. Here’s to 10more.
-Chad Degroot
PS- The “DE” in Deco is the first part of my last name and the “CO” is for company = DECO or DeGroot Company.
You are the Company that You keep.

At the start of the year, some of the Profile Racing team got together down in Florida to spend some time cruising the endless street, DIY spots, backyard pools, ditches and skateparks the state has to offer. Here’s a look at the riding that went down during the trip! This has a super good mix of styles and tricks, keeping things interesting from start to finish! This trip looks like it was a ton of fun. Take a look!
“If you’re looking for something a little bit different in your BMX entertainment search today then this is it. Profile’s Cory Foust, Mark Mulville, Luis Pinzon, Bobby Proctor, Chad Degroot and Chris Childs get busy in Tampa with some creative riding and some down right sick looking spots.
“In January of 2019, we flew part of the Profile crew to Tampa and made Seminole Heights our home base for a week. This is what we enjoyed together…we hope at some point you will come for a visit to experience it yourself.” – Matt Coplon

Paddy Gross coming through with a dialed new video filled with brakes and pegs!
Here’s a really rad one that surfaced online featuring Paddy Gross putting his brakes and pegs to good use from Portland to Germany and a few other places. This also features front brake magic from Adam Banton, Axel Reichertz, Brett Banasiewicz, Clint Millar, Rob Nolli, Dave Freimuth, Chad DeGroot, Nick Harkins, Chris Rye, Tobias Wicke and Rick Moliterno. If that doesn’t sound amazing, then you’re blowing it! This BMX video is packed with amazing ramp riding and a little flatland from start to finish!
“I agreed to this project when it was still a baby. Now a year later it has grown into quite a monster of a video. We have had the honor of collecting original clips from many highly influential and legendary riders from the mid school. Which has made this video such a joy to create. Its like stepping into a time machine and traveling back to the glory days of bmx. Again thank you everyone who had contributed this project. it has been a blast. Enjoy!” – Matt Miller
