Profile Racing – Chad DeGroot: Get Back To Work

Leave a Comment

One of the perks of being your own boss, would be that you can decide when it’s time to take a break and screw off for a bit. When Chad DeGroot isn’t busy running his Bike Shop or Deco, he still manages to squeeze some riding time in… Even if it causes a bit of rule breaking. Profile Racing dropped a few clips from a flatland session Chad caught between all that work!

“The whole month of August, 2016, I am short staffed at my shop (Mr. B’s) so that means I am clocking a lot of hours solo. Today I got my whole list of work done plus cleaning, reorganizing and some bonus shores. Don’t get me wrong there is always something to do, plan, and work on. With DecoBMX in the back and MR in the front its two full time gigs under one roof. So staring at my new bike and knowing I have ridden a bit, inside my AC’d shop while its 100 degrees outside looked inviting. It just made sense to try a few things. Then a few more. All worked out but now the boss is telling me to “Get back to work”.” -Chad Degroot

Profile Racing X DIG – Slaughterhouse

Leave a Comment

The latest in the Profile Racing X DIG DIY Series takes us into the Slaughterhouse for a session. This spot might be tucked away and hidden a little bit, but what’s hiding inside is amazing. This place looks like a super good time to ride and there was a bunch of damn good riding that went down during the session! Take a peek!

“Over the course of several sessions, we did our best to document one of the most unique DIY setups in the state of Florida.
Coming out of urban legend, on each visit the Slaughterhouse slowly revealed itself: On our final session we interviewed a squatter living in one of several compartmentalized rooms, honey-combed into this century old warehouse. From his stories, we had finally gotten the true history of the dilapidated old building…and then two weeks later, the Slaughterhouse burnt to the ground.

This is a celebration and memorial to the SL, Profile’s 4th DIY documentary for the 2016 series.
Thanks to Colin Jensen, Brad Campo, and Ben Meyer for the hospitality.
And to Mike Waling for creating, what will forever remain, an Urban, DIY legend.

Profile riders include Kent Pearson, Mark Mulville, and Chad Degroot.

Enjoy.

Deco BMX – Chad DeGroot Inside of a Penske Truck

Leave a Comment

We’ve seen Deco‘s Chad DeGroot ride in a lot of places over the years, but this is the first time we’ve seen him getting down in the back of a Penske truck. Hit play if you want to check out a little flatland action. The back story behind this one is also pretty interesting, so check that out below.

“My first GO FUND ME project to raise money to fix my local park called Candyland started in November of 2015. I had no idea what I was getting myself in to. But with the blessing of the city and tons of thumbs up it all started. Want to thank every person, every dollar, and all who helped in this project to make it awesome. Donations from this and in store at Mr. B’s plus fund raising from DecoBMX/Mr. B’s/ Billy Richardson and all of you has reached $2706.02 and thank you all. With materials, transportation, and some unforeseen costs total needed to be raised is $3900 so that puts us $1193.98 short. I had additional expenses flying up to State College to rent a Penske truck to trek it back to Longwood. …sorry for the delay but this is a process. Serious problems here and there but all handled. So once we dropped the obstacles off I still had the truck for a few more days. Offered it to a few people to use for moving or other, but no one took me up on this. Then it rained one day and the idea to ride inside it blossomed. Check out https://www.gofundme.com/6tbsy6w4 and know this project was far from easy, but it did work and brought smiles to our community. And in the end I got a quick session in one of the tightest areas I have ever ridden in. Enjoy.” – Chad Degroot

Props BMX – Chad DeGroot Baco Throwback

Leave a Comment

Props dropped this short but sweet throwback to some of Chad DeGroots classics from the Baco days. This has some flatland, antics, lake jumping and laughs. Take a look!

“A few weeks ago Chad asked me to help put together a little mashup of him to feature for his Decobmx day on Instagram, which was today.

Had the idea for a “Greatest Hits” theme and designed a record label, then filmed it on the turntable for the intro. Nothing too crazy, just a 60 sec little thing made up of some classic Baco footage of Chad going back to the early to late-90s. Damn good times we all had.

The song was featured in the Baco 7 credits from 1996, thought it was a cool throwback.” – Chris Rye

Chad DeGroot Mashup Video

Leave a Comment

If you’re looking to get your Chad DeGroot fix, here’s your chance. Chad just dropped over 18 minutes of footage from past edits, Instagram and Facebook clips all together in one big, long video. This has footage from skatepark and flatland sessions, random antics and even a few clips from the early Baco days. Take a peek!

“This is the last few years riding from Florida to Louisiana and Wisconsin. Even Indiana. Lots of instagram and other like FB gets overlooked or skipped. Here is a mash up from street, park, and tons of flatland. Enjoy.” – Deco

“Today I rode the best I have ridden in a long time. Once the session was done I sat down and thought I need more tricks. But the whole day I did my normal tricks and added some twists and extras to them. Took me a minute to realize I am moving on as of today. Decided to expand on these new twists from now on and my list of stuff to do is getting bigger. Another great day in many ways…42 years young and still learning and progressing with a smile. Thanks.” -Chad DeGroot

Profile Racing X DIG – The Dream Driveway

Leave a Comment

Wow, talk about an amazing DIY spot! Some of the Profile Racing crew caught a session at a spot in Tampa that a guy built out of his driveway! This is what we call taking things into your own hands, haha. Check out some real good riding on this dream spot! Ironically, none of the cars were actually parked on the driveway, haha.

“The first Installment of the Profile X DIG BMX DIY Documentary Series.
Over the course of the year, the Profile crew will be hitting up a selection of DIY spots to document the story of their creation, maintenance, and perpetuation.
The Dream Driveway is tucked into a quiet neighborhood in Tampa, Florida where Ryan Clements (Owner) invited us out for a session and a walk through the details of an absolutely amazing spot.
We hope you enjoy.

Riders: Riley Jordan, Chad Degroot, Mark Mulville, and Matt Coplon.
