Profile Racing – First Coast Remix

July 18, 2018

Check out more from Profile Racing’s First Coast trip!

A few weeks back Profile Racing released their First Coast video from a team trip in Florida. Now today we get a look at a ton of footage that was filmed on a Drone and some extra angles. This has a bunch of great footage and a wild crash, so hit play and take a look!

““This edit is piggy backing off of a previous edit that was already made documenting a packed, 2-day trip in Florida. Ricky Moseley and Jared Eberwein flew out from the other side of the US to join Matt Coplon, Lucas Porzio, Riley Jordan, and a surprise run in with Phil Aller. A bunch of local riders met up with us as well, helping figure out places to ride and creating absolute great times and vibes. The whole crew had the pleasure to ride in a new, pristine, backyard ramp called The Ark: huge thanks to Brian Hemingway. A Small mishap happened on the ramp with Jared and Ricky while trying to coordinate a four person flair run: luckily Ricky wasn’t taken out and the clip was executed right after. Ricky brought his GoPro Karma drone, so we ended up with a bunch of really cool extra footage and new perspective on things.

We hope you enjoy.

Filmed by Ricky & Jared.

Profile Racing – From The Dungeon: History of the Iconic Horseshoe Pedal

July 2, 2018

Profile Racing’s Jim Alley takes us back down to the dungeon to check out the mold for their iconic Horseshoe pedal…

Over the course of the 50 years that Profile Racing has been around, they’ve done a number of products that could be classified as iconic. One of those parts is their Horseshoe Pedal that was apart of their line up in the early 80’s. Today, Jim Alley takes us back into the dungeon to tell the story of how and why the Horseshoe Pedals were made. This is a real interesting one if you’re a fan of learning how things are made.

“In celebration of Profile Racing’s 50th anniversary, owner and founder, Jim Alley, invites us into the company’s original Florida location where some sections of this dark and dusty industrial cave have been sealed off since 2004.
Over time, this building (appropriately named “The Dungeon” by employees) has become a time capsule; a host to historical artifacts capturing Profile’s legacy in both the automotive and bicycle industry.
Join us on this multi-episode series as we press record and let Jim imbue his wealth of knowledge on conjured pieces of the past.

This is From the Dungeon.

Welcome.
