Profile Racing – Perceptions: Athens

December 30, 2024

Dan Conway, Lucas Porzio and Kent Pearson in Athens, Georgia!

Profile Racing coming through with a fresh video from a trip some of the squad took to cruise spots around Athens, Georgia. Hit play to watch Dan Conway, Kent Pearson and Lucas Porzio put in work on street spots and parks! These three all ride very different, keeping it real interesting from start to finish. Take a look!

“Within a sequence of unfortunate events, we’re feeling really fortunate to be able to present this to you. The trip was conceived in the beginning of 2024, but was cancelled twice due to Dan Conway getting hurt.

Fast forward to October…
Upon packing up, at the very last minute, Dan Dellorso had to bow out because his cat broke his leg (after being hit by a car). Luckily for us, Lucas Porzio had a small window of availability after having a terrible month due to back to back hurricane damage. He ended up losing his house.

We were stoked to bring him along simply in the idea of helping a friend; essentially, wanting to give him a break from sleeping in his hot car and to help clear his mind.

And then there’s Kent…he knew what a pain in the ass this trip had become, really wanted it to happen, so didn’t tell us that Tuesday (as in, two days before the trip started), he was in the hospital, getting surgery on his Kidney. Take into consideration, half of his clips were filmed on Thursday afternoon; two days after a surgeon had been digging in his innards.

This is Profile’s “Perceptions”, Volume #2.

Thanks to Christie and Mase Pearson, and Nick Thurmond for the hospitality.

Profile Racing – Callsign Carolina

September 28, 2023

The Profile Racing team spent a few days in the Carolinas!

Whenever the Profile Racing team gets together for a trip, you know it’s going to be a good one. They recently spent some time riding parks, private ramps and street spots around the Carolinas for their latest trip together. As expected, they put together a real solid edit giving us a look at what went down! Take a look!

“The machinations of any road trip with the Profile crew takes quite a bit of time.
Aligning work vs. vacation vs. seasonal windows vs. host’s schedules; we try and try until the stars finally align.
Our good friend, Dave Long, initiated the invite to host our crew a year ago.
After multiple delays, the summer of 2023 became the convergence date; albeit just 3 total days to make things happen.
Like many of our crew’s road trips, there is no set plan and there is no set filmer.
We hit spots together with no preconceived notions, rather let the session create the vibe and have the chips fall where they lay.
This is our collaborative collection of 72 hours in Dave’s neck of the woods.
Shout out to him for being the host with the most, for being our guide, and for creating the title and theme based around the overarching coalescence of both the military and civilian cultures in his local area.

We hope you enjoy.” – Profile Racing

Callsign Carolina is Dillon Leeper, Dan Dellorso, Mark Mulville, Kent Pearson, Dave Long, Neal Cart, Shane Leeper, and Dre Tylee.

The Rowan Roast

June 30, 2023

A session to keep the good times going!

As many of you know, as you get older sometimes the sessions are a little harder to come by due to life’s responsibilities from work to family and everything. The Rowan Roast is thrown to get as many riders out for a convenient morning session. Here’s a video Profile Racing put together from the latest one that went down during a recent trip to Fayetteville.

“During the last day of a Profile Roadtrip to Fayetteville, our crew met up with Dave Long and a good amount of the NC. crew to celebrate the 3rd annual Rowan Roast.

As Dave explains, The Rowan Roast is meant to get riders to take a break from their schedules every other month, come together and have a session.

Thanks to everyone who attended, and thanks to Dave Long for hosting.

Profile Racing – Kent Pearson “So Florida”

March 15, 2022

We’re always stoked to check out a fresh Kent Pearson video! Here’s a new one for Profile Racing from a trip down to Florida to ride backyard (and driveway) ramps, street spots, parks and more! As always, Kent delivers with plenty of creative combos with front brake magic that you won’t want to miss. Get on that play button!

“For the winter of 2022, we had three of our riders visit Tampa Bay at different times over three, separate, long weekends.
The idea was to take each of them to overlapping spots, where, considering their complete differences in style, each would offer their own unique perspective/interpretation.

The “So Florida” series includes Kent Pearson, Mark Mulville, and RattyMaty.

Episode One: Kent Pearson (with clips of Mase Pearson).

Thanks to Scott Bentley, Ryan Clements, Alan Shirley, and Alex Lepak for spot hospitality.

Profile Racing – Kent Pearson “Complicate”

August 11, 2021

Oh yeah! We always get stoked when Kent Pearson‘s name pops up on a new video! Here’s his latest for Profile Racing giving us a look at what he’s been getting into during his sessions down in Georgia with his son Mason. As always, Kent delivers with amazing technical lip tricks and combos out in the streets thanks to the front and back brakes, making for a ton of creative and unique riding. Hit play because this is a real good watch!

“It’s common to hear the advice to take the time to enjoy the simple things. That’s fine, but I believe you should also take the time to enjoy the the complex things. For instance, the process of pulling a move at a spot… then turning that move into the next move… then progressing it to down-right complicated. As we filmed most of these clips, I found myself explaining what I was going to attempt and saying how I just wanted to ‘complicate’ whatever I was working on as we filmed. I love the process. I love BMX for allowing me to complicate. Thanks to Profile Racing. Thanks to Dig BMX. Thanks to BMX” – Kent Pearson @kentpearsonbmx

Profile Racing X DIG – Slaughterhouse

July 21, 2016

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.
