Profile Racing’s Neighbourhood Crawl: TULSA

July 1, 2019

It’s pretty easy to catch a video from Southern California, Barcelona, Spain or one of the many other heavily populated locations that BMX riders tend to flock to, but there are also a ton of great places that don’t get explored nearly as often. Recently, some of the Profile Racing crew spent some time cruising the street spots, parks and ditches around Tulsa, Oklahoma. During their stay, plenty of clips were stacked and good times were had. Hit play and take it all in and think about some of the less common places you could go for some riding!

““For this second installment of Profile’s neighborhood Crawl, we brought Shane and Dillon Leeper as well as Billy Woodfin to Tulsa in the Spring of 2019.

While avoiding the impending, seriously oppressive summer, we used my wife’s house as a homebase, and explored the innards and outards of T-Town for a total of 5 days.

Here’s the fruits of our fun…We hope you enjoy.” – Matt Coplon/Profile

Thanks to Russell Wadlin, Aaron Anderson, and especially Kyle Kisling, for continuing to make Tulsa one of the most enjoyable cities to travel to.

Thanks to Trey Ehart and Entertainment for usage of the song “Confusion of Senses” featured on the album “Gender” released on Stickfigure Records.

Matt Coplon, longtime TM/ rider/ wearer of many hats at Profile, celebrated moving up to Level 4.2 by putting together another collection of clips captured over the last year or so (this is his third such edit since he hit level 4). The last line at the infamous Buena Vista pool is classic. Long may these parts continue!” – DIG

Thanks to Profile Racing.

Thanks to Eric “Easy” Fabrisiak, Steve Caro, Dillon Leeper, Bobby Proctor, Jeff Maurer, Chad Degroot, Luis Pinzon, Chris Childs, Eric Holladay, and Kyle Kisling for motivation and assistance with filming.

At the start of the year, some of the Profile Racing team got together down in Florida to spend some time cruising the endless street, DIY spots, backyard pools, ditches and skateparks the state has to offer. Here’s a look at the riding that went down during the trip! This has a super good mix of styles and tricks, keeping things interesting from start to finish! This trip looks like it was a ton of fun. Take a look!

“If you’re looking for something a little bit different in your BMX entertainment search today then this is it. Profile’s Cory Foust, Mark Mulville, Luis Pinzon, Bobby Proctor, Chad Degroot and Chris Childs get busy in Tampa with some creative riding and some down right sick looking spots.

“In January of 2019, we flew part of the Profile crew to Tampa and made Seminole Heights our home base for a week. This is what we enjoyed together…we hope at some point you will come for a visit to experience it yourself.” – Matt Coplon

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.

Matt Coplon – The BMX In Our Blood Podcast

July 9, 2018

Matt Coplon sits down for an interview for “The BMX In Our Blood” Podcast…

The latest interview from The BMX In Our Blood podcast has arrived. This time around Matt Coplon from Profile Racing sits down to talk about everything from how he got into BMX and his job at Profile Racing to what he’s into these days when he rides to being vegetarian and straight edge, music, writing and much, much more. Matt is one of the best dudes in BMX and this interview kicks a ton of ass. Definitely give this a listen!

“Episode 40, the one I stressed the most for but also looked forward to because Matt Coplon is so well read and knowledgeable in so many areas of life, many of which I’m not familiar with. After all that stressing we found that neither of us had all the answers and just more in common with our passion for BMX. So enjoy the podcast and a couple songs by Matt and his past bands, Reversal of Man and Light Yourself On Fire. You can also find Matt at www.proficeracing.com or through IG by his name. Enjoy the interview and the week!” – Joe Doherty

“Putting out another full edit in the year after hitting level four is no small feat, but in between his hectic daily schedule, Matt Coplon continues to shed the Tampa Bay area and beyond. This is a documentation of Matt’s riding highlights during the last 12 months, and also a celebration of two decades of being with Profile.” – DIG

“In the Spring of 1998, Jeff Harrington, on behalf of Profile, asked if I’d ride for their brand. 20 years later, I couldn’t see myself riding any other drive train. Celebrating both 20 years of riding for the brand (17 of those working closely here in the Profile factory)
