Way back in 2005 when The Take took off, Jeff Harrington was one of the master minds behind the brand. Over time, the original crew stepped back and FBM ultimately kept the ship sailing to this day. Today they announced that Jeff is back with the brand and already cooking up some new products for them! Get a look at some of the new softgoods due out soon! Stoked on this!
Props – Issue 10 – Jeff Harrington Interview
Hell yeah! Props dug deep into the archives and pulled out this awesome interview with Jeff Harrington. Jeff has been a contributor for The Union over the years so it’s pretty cool to see what he was doing long, long before this website ever existed.
“Craig “Dr. Smooth” Reynolds probes eccentric BMXer Jeff Harrington in this quirky interview from Issue 10 of Props Video Magazine. Adorned in the infamous duck helmet, Jeff unleashes quote after quote, and hits up classic spots such as the Scrap Skatepark, Rampage, Hoffman’s OKC ramps and Funbox in Appleton, WI. Circa 1995.” – Props

Profile Key West Trip Scrap Edits
“Profile Racing road trip to Key West, FL took us on part of the tamiami trail through the everglades between Naples and Maimi, FL.
The Skunk Ape research center is located in Ochopee, Fl. and was one of the biggest highlights of the trip. No idea what we where getting into but our tour guide made us fell right at home while handing us alligators, parots and snakes. Can’t stress this enough if you ever get the chance visit the Skunk Ape Reseach Center… DO IT!
