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.

Profile Racing – Kent Pearson Always on the Move

April 1, 2015

You don’t even know how excited we were to wake up to an email from Matt Coplon with a link to the new Kent Pearson Profile Racing video inside! Check out Kent’s latest video packed full of street and skatepark front brake magic that was filmed over the course of last year! This one does not disappoint!

“Kent had asked me at the end of 2014 if I’d be interested in editing some clips for him. Although I immediately said yes, the more I thought about it, the more it stressed me out. And then the clips came on a card, via snail mail, wrapped up perfectly in a little pill box. Dialed. Like everything Kent has his hands in.
The pressure was on…
I’ve always had the utmost respect for Kent: I’m super into his riding, style, progression, and love for bmx…the last thing I wanted to do was to not give his footage justice.
So I dove in, slowly…
Here is a cache of clips filmed throughout 2014. We want to thank Kent for years of support: transcending that notion, we’re proud that he’s part of our family here at Profile.
In Kent’s camera bag, there is a mix of SD cards. The one that captured this footage was titled ‘Always on the Move’….Hence the title.
In the end, I’m stoked on the final piece, and actually had quite a good time putting it together.
I hope you enjoy watching as much as I had piecing it together.” -Matt Coplon

Filming care of: Mason Pearson, Kyle Kelsey, Nick Thurmond, Chase Hamilton, Jake Stancil, Kowboi Roberts, Jeremy Infelise, and Conor Mckeon.
