Profile Racing – Eye Two Seven Five

April 30, 2021

The Profile Racing team loaded up for a trip bouncing around Florida to ride different parks, street spots and backyard ramps. Here’s a 4 minute video giving us a look at what they got into along the way! Needless to say, it looks like these guys had a real good time despite some unpredictable weather!

“Eye two seven five is the interstate artery that runs through Tampa Bay connecting Tampa, St. Pete, and Clearwater. In hindsight, this interstate happened to be the thoroughfare that took us to every spot over the course of 5 days in February, 2021.

Considering Covid restrictions, the crew drove into town, camped in our friend’s backyard, and did their best to navigate the unpredictable Florida winter. From 80 to 40 degrees, from clear, scorching skies, to 3 days of monsoon rains.

Profile Racing Neighborhood Crawl – Tampa

March 13, 2020

Profile Racing‘s Neighborhood Crawl series continues! This time around we get a mix of park, street and backyard ramp footage from the Profile squad out cruising in Tampa, Florida! This video has a super good mix of riding and styles, along with plenty of great spots. Hit play and take this all in!

“In January of 2020, I brought part of our crew back down to Tampa for the third Profile Neighborhood Crawl. Over the past year, my hometown has seen a DIY renaissance with a cache of freshly built backyard set-ups and do-it-yourself street spots, all within the backdrop of our communities having stepped up to advocate for a plethora of new public skateparks. This muli-media feature is a celebration of where Tampa Bay has come from, it’s roots in both punk and bmx, and to what it has become.” – Matt Coplon

“Filmed by our whole crew as well as Jona Jachan.

Riding by Cory Foust, Chris Childs, Bobby Proctor, Lucas Porzio, Alex Tate, Dylan Kakowski, Mark Mulville, and Chad Degroot.

Profile Racing – First Coast Remix

July 18, 2018

Check out more from Profile Racing’s First Coast trip!

A few weeks back Profile Racing released their First Coast video from a team trip in Florida. Now today we get a look at a ton of footage that was filmed on a Drone and some extra angles. This has a bunch of great footage and a wild crash, so hit play and take a look!

““This edit is piggy backing off of a previous edit that was already made documenting a packed, 2-day trip in Florida. Ricky Moseley and Jared Eberwein flew out from the other side of the US to join Matt Coplon, Lucas Porzio, Riley Jordan, and a surprise run in with Phil Aller. A bunch of local riders met up with us as well, helping figure out places to ride and creating absolute great times and vibes. The whole crew had the pleasure to ride in a new, pristine, backyard ramp called The Ark: huge thanks to Brian Hemingway. A Small mishap happened on the ramp with Jared and Ricky while trying to coordinate a four person flair run: luckily Ricky wasn’t taken out and the clip was executed right after. Ricky brought his GoPro Karma drone, so we ended up with a bunch of really cool extra footage and new perspective on things.

We hope you enjoy.

Filmed by Ricky & Jared.

TBR: Winter What Not.

March 10, 2014

TBR: Winter What Not. from TBR BMX on Vimeo.

While most of the world is frozen and forced indoors, the guys in Tampa take advantage of the best weather of the year for them, enjoying all of the street that they can before the torturous summer heat creeps in. In this TBR mix we get a handful of visitors and plenty of the normal Tampa Bay staples. It’s great to see that banger go down, as Lucas has had his eye on that for at least 2 years, if not more.
