In The Cut – Maiden America Tour 2019

Leave a Comment

The annual Maiden America Tour went down a little while back, and the FBM, Profile Racing, QBP and ODI Grips guys loaded up for a trip to Colorado to visit shops, check out parks and trails and more. Here’s a raw cut showing what the guys got into on and off their bikes all along the way! There were a few bumps and bruises along the way, but overall looks like it was a good time to us!

“What started out as the 6th Annual Maiden America tour with QBP, Profile racing, FBM and now ODI, took a radical turn when the van banter started to get strange. Initially a trip celebrating brands that build BMX products in the United States, and supporting local bike shops by visiting, sharing some riding time and pizzas, Maiden America, as a result of the real-time mind-bending interactive diatribe lingo derivative inside joke phenom between Gary Ginch and Eric Holladay, was now dubbed the “Horniest trip in BMX’

Held captive by their insane tail feather wordplay development were Jay Schlie, Matt Coplon, Vic Bettencourt, myself, The Leeper Bros. Seamus McKeon, Declan Murray and our driver – Stew Johnson who was being threatened with assault and mummification.
Amidst visiting Local Colorado shops like Lawson Cycles, the ever-present PUSHER BMX, the crew rolled along the highest of High Altitudes Colorado Had to offer, The Sunshine State, and the Windy City- with their catchy state slogan- Don’t mess with Denver, was no match for the MAIDEN CREW! – Steve Crandall

Profile Racing Pink Camouflage Colorway BMX

Whenever Profile Racing release a new limited edition colorway, you know they are going to go fast! Here’s a look at their new Pink Camouflage colorway that is landing at BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Profile Racing worldwide now. They’ve done a limited batch of the Push topload stems, Mini hubs and Sabre sprockets in this color, so you’ll want to act fast since I believe there are only 100 of each available. If you’re feeling some pink accent colors would look good on the bike, this pink camo color should do the trick for sure!

“Available Today from your local bike shop or mail-order!
Limited Matte Pink Camo.

Push stems in 48mm and 53mm.
Mini Hubs in RHD and LHD.
Sabre Sprockets in 25t and 28t.” – Profile Racing

What do you think? Are you digging the color? What could would you really like to see Profile make? They have done a lot of unique colors over the years, but there’s definitely plenty of options! Let us know!

“2001: A Hitching Post Challenge.
Hosted by The Leeper Brother’s and Profile Racing.

Amidst the chaos of the FBM/Power’s Bike Shop DIY World Championship, Shane and Dillon Leeper (with the help of Profile Racing) dialed in a hitching post throw back to the year 2001.
Within 15 minutes, this is what went down.
The winner (Matt Drew) took home a size small Kid Rock tee.
This is a small window into an incredible weekend.

Thanks to Steve Crandall, FBM, and Chad Powers for having us.

Profile Racing – Bobby Proctor “A Slice of New England”

Leave a Comment

You can’t go wrong with some fresh Bobby Proctor footage! Here’s a fresh one for Profile Racing from some of the summer sessions he has been getting in out East! As always, Bobby shreds everything he came across from street spots and parks to even a little trails action! This has a super good mix of tricks and spots keeping everything interesting from start to finish!

“Back in July, I flew up to Providence, Rhode Island for several events (Circuit x Profile pump track jam, Road to Recovery Jam, etc…).
In between prepping for those events, I linked up with Bobby Proctor where we started a wild goose chase simply to get in a session.
Between two extremes, heavy rain followed by clear skies and temps reaching 105 degrees, we hopped from city to city, grabbing anything the weather allowed us to.
Clips from Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, including John Capps, Shaun Gingras, Seth Bernard, and Dre Tylee…we hope you enjoy a tiny slice of New England.” -Matt Coplon

Profile Racing coming through with an awesome video from a jam they threw with Circuit BMX at the Roger Williams Pump Track in Rhode Island. Based off this video, it looks like it was a full day of riding and good times, and the pump track looks like a ton of fun to ride! Get a look at this!

“On July 19th, the Circuit Crew groomed the Roger Williams Pump Track in Providence, invited the Profile crew out where we grabbed some pizza and had a session before the Road 2 Recovery Jam in Connecticut.
Thanks to Circuit and their scene for the hospitality, and thanks to Cara Bettencourt, Cody Diggs, Nathan, Lukas, and Shane Halahan, Mark Mulville and Bobby Proctor.
