Profile Racing – Kent Pearson “So Florida”

March 15, 2022

We’re always stoked to check out a fresh Kent Pearson video! Here’s a new one for Profile Racing from a trip down to Florida to ride backyard (and driveway) ramps, street spots, parks and more! As always, Kent delivers with plenty of creative combos with front brake magic that you won’t want to miss. Get on that play button!

“For the winter of 2022, we had three of our riders visit Tampa Bay at different times over three, separate, long weekends.
The idea was to take each of them to overlapping spots, where, considering their complete differences in style, each would offer their own unique perspective/interpretation.

The “So Florida” series includes Kent Pearson, Mark Mulville, and RattyMaty.

Episode One: Kent Pearson (with clips of Mase Pearson).

Thanks to Scott Bentley, Ryan Clements, Alan Shirley, and Alex Lepak for spot hospitality.
