When you bring Chad DeGroot and Terry Adams together for a few days of riding, you know things are going to get interesting.

Profile Racing sent Chad DeGroot and Matt Coplon on over to New Orleans to spend some time filming with Terry Adams. Here’s a short but sweet video showing what went down in the two day trip!

“A quick trip to NOLA always avails some dialed sessions.
We joined Terry Adams and Chad Degroot on this 48 hour sojourn, in and out.

Profile Racing – Tech Tip: Z-Coaster Support Bearing

September 8, 2017

This weeks tech tip from Profile Racing has arrived. This time around we get a short but sweet video from Matt Coplon where he explains why the Support Bearing on their Z-Coaster hub spins freely in the hub shell! Pretty interesting. Take a peek!

“While on the Maiden America Shop tour in 2017, a question was brought to our attention on the ZCoaster outer support bearing.

Why does that bearing spin inside the ZCoaster shell?
Is it supposed to do that?
And is that bad?

To answer your question, it’s part of the design and completely normal.
Here’s a quick tutorial. Let us know if this helps?”

Matt Coplon – Year 40

June 7, 2017

The other week Matt Coplon hit level 4 and is celebrating with a brand new video packed with gold from street, skatepark and backyard ramp sessions that he has been getting in! As always, Matt brings a bunch of creativity to the table and keeps things interesting from start to finish, so hit play and check out what all those years of experience has created!

“Here at DIG we just can’t say enough good things about this guy. His contribution to BMX is second to none on so many levels and even his music taste rules. Welcome to Level 4 Matt!

“I remember my parent’s 40th birthday. “Over the hill” written in black icing, with a sugary tombstone and a vulture perched on top of their macabre cake. It was so distant. So inconceivable, personally: The beginning of the end. And now, here we are…

In the hollow anticipation of impending change, this is a collection of clips on the way to my 40th.

I hope you enjoy.” – Matt Coplon

June 6, 2017

Now that’s a dialed unit…

We’re always stoked to see what guys like Matt Coplon are riding because it seems like the bikes are always super dialed. Profile Racing dropped a new Bike Check with Matt taking a closer look at his brand new custom FBM setup loaded with Profile and Deco parts. The bike itself is looking super clean and there are a few modifications like the cut outs in the hubs that really look amazing. You can check out a bunch of photos and a full parts and modifications list right here — Matt Coplon Rig Check

Deco BMX – Pass the Seat

December 2, 2016

Deco coming through with a unique promo video for their new Terry Adams signature seat. The team decided to pass one of the seats around and all pull together a clip or two. Hit play and take a look at what went down. This is a rad mix of street, park and flatland, keeping things interesting from start to finish!

“The idea for Pass The Seat is pretty simple. Get a seat and install it, film a clip, send the seat or PASS THE SEAT. Started with Terry Adams since this is his new signature seat available now. Pivotal, all black, FAT version, hollow chromo bolt, super light foam. Mat Olson starts the party with a self filmed run and packs and stacks the tricks. Matt Coplon got a lil artsy with a loading dock line. Karl Poyter long mannie line and seat grab bar spin in the middle was dope. Mannie Nogueira fresh off the boat and at his local spot with a new one and his was excited. Scott Weaver magic knee on the seat in circles is unreal. Ryan Torrance has been on some wild flip kick so might as well add it to smith grind. Chad DeGroot going backwards hop style from front wheel to back wheel. Taylor Bonds backwards tech and tbog smoothness. Dontae Styles 360 roof to flat with screams of excitement. AND Terry Adams bangs it out with a new one we did not see coming… whiplash to seat mannie to signature whip. DAMN. 5:54 min. run time.“
