Profile Racing Neighborhood Crawl – Tampa

Leave a Comment

Profile Racing‘s Neighborhood Crawl series continues! This time around we get a mix of park, street and backyard ramp footage from the Profile squad out cruising in Tampa, Florida! This video has a super good mix of riding and styles, along with plenty of great spots. Hit play and take this all in!

“In January of 2020, I brought part of our crew back down to Tampa for the third Profile Neighborhood Crawl. Over the past year, my hometown has seen a DIY renaissance with a cache of freshly built backyard set-ups and do-it-yourself street spots, all within the backdrop of our communities having stepped up to advocate for a plethora of new public skateparks. This muli-media feature is a celebration of where Tampa Bay has come from, it’s roots in both punk and bmx, and to what it has become.” – Matt Coplon

“Filmed by our whole crew as well as Jona Jachan.

Riding by Cory Foust, Chris Childs, Bobby Proctor, Lucas Porzio, Alex Tate, Dylan Kakowski, Mark Mulville, and Chad Degroot.

Leave a Comment

It’s always a good day when Chris Childs has a new BMX video to check out. Here’s a fresh one that’s been boiling on the stove for about a year now for Profile Racing! As always, Chris cooked up plenty of wild clips with plenty of speed and style mixed throughout! This is a real good watch, so get on that play button and check it out!

“Over a year in the making, filmed by Walter Pieringer, and edited by Chris himself. Two minutes of absolute boiled-over goodness.” – Our BMX

Although we don’t know what FBM‘s future looks like after closing the doors on its manufacturing of bikes, but apparently the team is still repping! Here’s a new Declan Murray video filled with creative and unique riding for FBM and Profile Racing to get your week off to a good start! You never quite know what you’re going to see when Declan gets on his bike.

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.
Support your local bike shop, and celebrate the DIY ethos.
