Live From Madera BMX

July 29, 2016

Did you know that Madera products are made in the same exact factory as Profile Racing? After 11 years, we’re sure plenty of you are aware of that. Today, Matt Coplon popped up on Facebook Live to give you a little tour of the factory, along with some insight into how some of Madera’s products are made, like what the process is to get the Celestial colorway done. This also shows a fair amount of Profile Racing stuff being made, but it’s all pretty similar when it comes to the final product. Hit play and take the tour with Matt and learn a few things!

Matt Coplon – End.Begin

May 25, 2016

You know it’s going to be a good day when a new BMX video from Profile Racing‘s very own Matt Coplon surfaces online. Here’s a compilation of footage he has collected over the course of the past year, filled with unique riding and great spots! This is one you won’t want to pass up!

“He may already be one of the busiest men in BMX but almost every year and right before his birthday, Profile’s Matt Coplon also finds time to ride, film , edit and release a compilation of his personal favourite clips of the year. According to Matt, “It’s kind of like an ongoing documentary of what I fit in after work, on the weekends and in between filming, shooting and traveling with the Profile dudes.” With Matt turning 39 this year this level of productivity and dedication should serve as some serious stoke for all of us. Heres’ what else he had to say…” – DIG BMX

“On the cusp of turning 39, here’s a compilation of clips filmed from June 2015, to May 2016.

After work, early on weekends, and eeking in clips when I can while traveling with the Profile team.

Thanks to Deco Bmx.
Thanks to The Skatepark of Tampa and Alan Shirley at The Rooster Den.
Thanks to Etnies Shoes and Folklore.

Thanks especially to Profile Racing for their employment and for giving me the opportunity to travel regularly as their Team Manager.
Enveloped by BMX: I’m eternally grateful.

To the end of a year, to the beginning of another.
Thanks for watching, Enjoy…

Much love to these folks for taking their time to help film: Thomas Sanders, Steven Caro, Alan Shirley, Mark Mulville, Jack Hartje, Zachery Rogers, Grant Castelluzzo, Mike Hinkens, Russell Wadlin, Travis Reavis, Dan Orroyo, Ben Jordan, and Chad Degroot.” – Matt Coplon

March 22, 2016

Wow, talk about an amazing DIY spot! Some of the Profile Racing crew caught a session at a spot in Tampa that a guy built out of his driveway! This is what we call taking things into your own hands, haha. Check out some real good riding on this dream spot! Ironically, none of the cars were actually parked on the driveway, haha.

Inside Profile Racing – A Tour with Matt Coplon

March 2, 2016

When it comes to BMX parts and products, traditionally the person buying the product only gets to see the product either in the shop they bought it from or a few photos online before making the purchase and seeing it turn up a few days later in a box. Only few ever really see where the product actually was made and came from before getting to that stage.
There are only a handful of brands that can say they produce their products in-house in BMX or, really, in the entire bicycle industry, and it goes without saying that it’s an interesting process to see.

We made a trip to the Profile Racing warehouse in St. Petersburg, Florida to catch a tour of the warehouse with Matt Coplon to see just where the hubs, cranks, sprockets, stems and a number of other products are produced for Profile and Madera. Between the freestyle BMX, BMX racing, mountain bike and even car parts they produce, there’s quite a bit to see from the stock to the crazy machines they use to produce everything from a piece of metal into a precision product.

Hit play, kick back and take the tour! Big thanks to Matt Coplon and Profile Racing for letting us come through!
