I’m not a fan of watching people fall, but as I sat here injured and bored, I decided I might as well do something with these clips that had built up over the past few years.
Tampa Bay Riders – Matt Coplon 2013 Compilation Edit
Hell yeah! Matt Coplon is one of the best dudes in BMX and this new Tampa Bay Riders edit is loaded with some of his best clips he filmed around some of his local spots this past year. Needless to say, this video turned out real good and it’s one you won’t want to miss!
“This is a compilation of clips I put together starting late summer. I’m usually enjoying the other side of the lens with filming, so I’m not one to ask someone to film for me: excuse the multiple tri-pod angles.
But when I was able to lure someone in, thanks to these folks below for their time, kind words and motivation while cruising the streets of Tampa: Travis Reavis, Matt Arnold, Lucas Porzio, David Gibson, Steven Caro, and Scott Ehlert.
Thanks to Deco, Chad Degroot, and Profile Racing for keeping my rig fresh.
Thanks to Henry Wilson for the Tunes.
Here’s to 2014. Thanks for watching, enjoy.”

Profile Racing – Testing the Freecoaster with Tyler Gilliard
Profile Racing dropped a little teaser for their new free coaster they are working on today. This very quick video featuring their flatland rider, Tyler Gilliard, doesn’t give away a TON but the hub must be getting close if they’re willing to build some hype for it. Take a peek!
“During late afternoon on Friday, I went out with Tyler to get a couple clips using Profile’s free-coaster Cassette prototype.
Here’s a little sample of how it functions. More testing in the works.” – Matt Coplon
Tampa Bay Riders – Transitions to Winter
TBR: Transitions to Winter. from TBR BMX on Vimeo.
Tampa Bay Riders is back, this time with an all park mix from the Summer. That might be confusing to some of you; why would guys be in the parks so much during the Summer? The reason is because Florida summers are so brutally hot, that riding outside during the day is pretty terrible for a few months. This one has a few cameos from some recognizable names like Ricky Moseley, Mark Mulville and of course Matt Coplon, along with a ton of locals, including yours truly at the end.
