Madera X Profile Racing In Houston 2017

December 21, 2017

The Profile Racing and Madera BMX teams spent some time in Houston, Texas riding the endless spots!

When you bring the Profile Racing and Madera teams together, good things happen! You can see that in this video featuring Jeff Klugiewicz, Grant Castelluzzo, Jake Seeley, Dan Kruk, Dan Foley, Dylan McCauley and Mike Hinkens who spent some time cruising around Houston, Texas slaying spots galore! Hit play and check out a ton of excellent riding!

“Madera and Profile team up their teams for a trip to the great state of Texas… Houston to be exact. Madera trips are like clockwork, amazing and progressive riding from a variety of street riding specialists. Adding in Profile’s Jake Seeley, Grant Castelluzzo, and Jeff K to the mix just makes this that much better. Oh yeah, Dan Kruk is ON ONE right now.

Though Madera and Profile do different things and have a different style, they are made in the same factory and their team members are all friends. Last month, guys from both teams decided to do officially what they often do anyway: go on a trip together! After the Profile dudes got their bike’s stolen in Houston last year and Dylan McCauley of Madera moved there and found a zillion spots, it seemed like everyone wanted to go there. Dudes from both teams spent a week together in Houston filming and shooting photos (as well as planning for some big moves next year!) and this is what they came back with. Enjoy.

Wethepeople BMX – Grant Castelluzzo Named U.S Team Manager + Bike Check

November 29, 2017

It looks like Grant Castelluzzo is going to be holding down the Team Manager duties in the United States for Wethepeople…

When Grant Castelluzzo had parted ways with Mutiny Bikes a while back, we had a feeling he might have something in the works with Wethepeople. As it turns out, our instincts were right and it looks like he will be taking on the role as the United States Team Manager for the brand! As some of you might already know, Grant has experience in the role between his different roles with Profile Racing and Madera, as well as being a TM on top of a pro team rider for Mutiny, so it’s safe to say he’s not going to have any trouble adjusting to this opportunity.

“WETHEPEOPLE is proud to welcome the multi-talented Grant Castelluzzo to the family as he joins the crew out in California and takes on the role of US Team Manager.

Most of you will be no stranger to Grant’s incredible skills both on the bike and behind the lens. Already being close friends with many of the guys on the squad, welcoming Grant to the family and have him behind the helm of our US team was a no-brainer.” – Wethepeople

“I am super excited and honored to announce that I am the US TM for WETHEPOEPLE. The team is full of amazing bike riders and more importantly amazing people, who happen to be my friends, which kind of makes this a dream job to be honest. WETHEPEOPLE has been around for over 20 years and it is humbling to work for a brand that has some serious history and legacy to it. I am hyped to get in the streets with the crew and for you all to see the stuff we will be working on!“ – Grant Castelluzzo

“Expect to see Grant riding his BATTLESHIP setup around Long Beach and Southern California with the rest of the team whilst working on a list of fresh Wethepeople projects which will be hitting your screens in the very near future…”

You can check out more photos and details on his new Battleship setup over on the Wethepeople Website now.

What do you think about the news? Did anyone else see this coming? How do you like Grant’s new setup? Let us know what you are thinking in the comments below!

Wethepeople BMX In Fresno

June 1, 2017

Wethepeople team riders Dan Kruk and Jesse Romano decided to load up and take a trip north to Fresno, California to see what the city had to offer for spots. They ended up coming across a ton of spots and ended up stacking a ton of clips for this dialed new video. Check out what went down!

“WeThePeople’s Dan Kruk and Jesse Romano break out of Long Beach and trek up to Fresno, CA for a few days of fresh spots and good times. Jesse is WTP’s new flow connect and the dude has a clean style, Dan Kruk comes through as-per-usual with feats of strength and resilience.” – Ride BMX

Industrial Allure

May 18, 2017

Here’s a short but sweet video featuring Mike Hinkens, Grant Castelluzzo and Jeff Z. out cruising an industrial park out in Los Angeles. As you can imagine with a line up like this, there was no shortage of grinds and wallrides to go down. Take a peek!

“Mike Hinkens grew up riding spots in the industrial areas of the Midwest Rust Belt region. After moving to Ecuador almost a year ago, Mike was overdue for an industrial session, so during a recent stint out in LA with Grant Castelluzzo, we went for a cruise in one of LA’s finer (and lesser known) industrial areas for a day.

Profile Racing – Grant Castelluzzo “Tech Support”

May 10, 2017

When you think of technical grind combos, there’s a good chance Grant Castelluzzo‘s riding instantly comes to mind. Grant is notorious for putting together some ridiculous grind combos with all for our his pegs that usually require a rewind or two to fully understand what he did. Here’s his latest for Profile Racing that has a pretty laid back vibe to it, but the riding is so technical that’ll definitely have your head spinning a bit. Take a look!

“For Grant Castelluzzo, tech riding is a lifestyle… Grant might be doing to most grinds in a single link in BMX right now. Think about that. Grant put some months in for Profile BMX with Scott Marceau behind the lens and this is the end result.

Grant Castelluzzo OFF Mutiny Bikes

March 31, 2017

Here’s some news we didn’t see coming! It looks like Grant Castelluzzo has decided to part ways with Mutiny Bikes after 7 years leaving his signature Obscura frame behind. It sounds like it was a mutual agreement based off Grant’s comments on the news. We’re not sure if he has a new deal lined up or not, but Grant has been staying busy behind the scenes as a filmer and more for Profile Racing and Ride BMX, plus he’s still putting out a steady stream of footage. Grant informed us that he has a new video coming soon as well. Below you can find Grant’s words on the news.

“I want to thank Gaz and Mutiny bikes for all of their help, love, and support over the last 7 years but as of today I will no longer be riding for the brand. 7 years is a long time to ride for a brand especially in BMX and there are no hard feelings between myself and Mutiny in anyway. Sometimes people just end up going in different directions and you have to do what feels right. Nothing but love here.”

A huge thank you to everyone who bought or was ever interested in one of my signature products. You guys are the best #bmx
