Profile Racing – Kent Pearson Always on the Move
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.

Kent Pearson Bike Check
There’s something about building up a brand new setup that creates a feeling that makes it hard to stop smiling. The other day we caught up with our favorite front brake magician, Kent Pearson, and found out just build himself up a brand new Kink Titan setup. There’s no way we could pass up getting a look at this thing, so we got a fresh bike check together for you guys to get a closer look! Check it!

Cruising Together – Kent and Mase Pearson
Now this is what I’m talking about! Check out this split edit from our friend, Kent Pearson, and his son, Mase! Between Kent’s front brake magic and Mase’s skills as a young buck, this will remind you that BMX is all about having fun. Hit that play button and put a smile on your face!
“We are both honored to have filmed this video together, but we’re even more honored to ride with each other on a daily basis.” – Kent Pearson
“While I can’t say for sure, it must be an incredibly rare opportunity to 100% relate to and share a hobby with your dad. Some dads golf, fish, or hunt, while their kids BMX or skateboard, and there usually seems to be a disconnect in “getting it” on both parts.
Kent has held the title belt as the nicest guy in Georgia BMX for many years. He’s always the guy to roll over and give you props, whether he knows you or not. His son Mason has come up in the Georgia scene with a shared respect for BMX, and it’s always a genuinely good time to shred with these guys. Mase has progressed so much in the years I have known him, and Kent never fails to blow my mind with his front brake magic. It was an honor being asked to put these clips together, and I hope you enjoy watching this rare father & son duo get at it! – Kyle
Kent and Mase did a majority of the camera work, and they also thank Craig Mitchell, Nick Thurmond, Ryne McDaniel, Jon Bast, Chris Roberts, Nick Taylor, Christy, Jake Stancil, & TJ Free and Speed Demond Productions(chopper footage) for the extra camera duty.” – Kyle Askew
