Profile Racing – Andrew Lazaruk In North Carolina

June 11, 2021

Profile Racing recently sent Andrew Lazaruk on down to North Carolina to spend some time exploring the parks, backyard ramps and more! Here’s a video with over 3 minutes of footage packed with style for your viewing pleasure! Hit play and take it all in! This looks like it was a real good time to us!

“Southern Hospitality

I had hung out with Seamus Mckeon once when he and Logan (Derberry) visited Andrew in LA; but I didn’t think I knew him well enough that he and his family would let Andrew and I stay at his house the night before his knee surgery. As our Lyft pulled up to the house at 3 AM, we opened the door to the house and hoped that we were not greeted by a barrel of a gun. Fortunately the picture of a teenage Seamus on a BMX bike signalled we were in the right house as we proceeded to wander through the dark house to our rooms while trying not to feel like we broke in.

Other than our first night, Andrew and I came to Mooresville with no idea where we were staying or really what we were riding. Relying on the kindness and excitement that comes from being a part of the BMX community; Seamus, his family, Logan Derberry, Robbie Taylor, and the NC crew treated us like family.

The week was full of riding street, concrete parks, and ramps; but the highlights were Whip Snake and The Goat Pen. The Goat Pen (located on Seamus’s property) was built by Seamus and the NC crew. Every line, corner, pocket, angle, and transition is thought about with intention and embodies the spirit of passionate people coming together to create something amazing. Complete with an indoor mini and the Mongoose Satellite Dish, I wish we could have spent a couple more days riding there.

Whip Snake is another crazy spot and is the work of a guy with the financial resources and land to bring his creative vision to life. (Which includes a huge concrete skate park and multiple metal sculptures ranging in size from 3 foot to 50 foot tall.) Watching Robbie, Logan, and the locals ride that place at full speed and hitting gaps I’d never even think of was incredible.

We have all heard about southern hospitality and the community, camaraderie, & creative spirit within BMX; but these stories are constantly re-emerging because of the truths within them.

Thank you to Seamus & his family, Logan Derberry, Robbie Taylor, and the NC crew for the hospitality and kindness, and thanks to Andrew Lazaruk for the trip! – Jeff Gipson

Profile Racing – Eye Two Seven Five

April 30, 2021

The Profile Racing team loaded up for a trip bouncing around Florida to ride different parks, street spots and backyard ramps. Here’s a 4 minute video giving us a look at what they got into along the way! Needless to say, it looks like these guys had a real good time despite some unpredictable weather!

“Eye two seven five is the interstate artery that runs through Tampa Bay connecting Tampa, St. Pete, and Clearwater. In hindsight, this interstate happened to be the thoroughfare that took us to every spot over the course of 5 days in February, 2021.

Considering Covid restrictions, the crew drove into town, camped in our friend’s backyard, and did their best to navigate the unpredictable Florida winter. From 80 to 40 degrees, from clear, scorching skies, to 3 days of monsoon rains.

How A BMX Stem Is Made

April 21, 2021

Have you ever wondered what “CNC machined” meant when you were shopping for a new BMX stem? Here’s a video where we get a look at how Profile Racing CNC machines their stems at their warehouse in Floria! If you love seeing how things are made, you’re going to be real stoked on this one! Take a look!

“Ever wondered how your stem was made? Well, we spent a couple days inside the Profile Racing manufacturing facility documenting just how they’ve made quality BMX products in the USA for the last 40+ years. Thanks to the whole staff at Profile for showing me around.” – Our BMX

Profile Racing – Dan Conway Welcome Video

March 12, 2021

Dan Conway is now doing it for Profile Racing! Here’s his welcome video that is packed with clips from the streets, parks, trails and backyard ramps, along with a bunch of guest clips from the Leeper Brothers and more, to bring the news! As always, Dan slays every rail and ledge in sight, and puts his brakes to good use, too! This is too good to miss, so hit play and enjoy!

“Our rider support philosophy at Profile has always left our team to decide who we invite on board.
Although we’ve known Dan for years, having the Leeper Brothers (who have now been on Profile for the past decade) reach out, expressing their strong connection to Dan (his personality, vibe, and of course, his riding), proved that his invite into the Profile family was a no-brainer. And after we recently spent a week with him on the road, his perpetual stoke and motivation was just icing on the cake.
Welcome aboard, Dan…to many more dialed trips with unending laughs and good times.” – Matt Coplon (Profile TM)

“I’m pumped to be a part of such a legendary brand. The overall vibe and expectation of the brand is simply this: have fun doing what you do, and just RIDE! And that’s pretty damn easy when I’m surrounded by the other guys on the team. The squad is the best group of dudes on and off the bikes. I’m stoked to see what the future brings! Wooo!” – Dan Conway

Profile Racing – Chris Childs Collection

December 3, 2020

Profile Racing coming in hot with a fresh signature colorway collection. This time around Chris Childs got the chance to do some colors of his choice and he went with a red and gold combo for Profile’s Acoustic front load stem and Fat Pivotal seat. The stem features a gold front plate and red main body and comes in 48mm and 53mm. The Fat Pivotal seat features Profile’s Wing P logo in Red with gold accents. We’re really digging the color combo and instantly reminded us of a particular superhero, let’s just hope Marvel doesn’t send a cease and desist.

You can pick the Chris Childs signature Acoustic stem and Fat Pivotal seat up at BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Profile Racing worldwide now.
