Profile Racing – Three Advantages of the Z-Coaster with Dillon Leeper

June 1, 2017

The Profile Racing freecoaster hub known as the Z-Coaster has been getting a lot of great reviews since its release because of the unique functionality that allows the hub to function as a freecoaster and a cassette hub, giving you a wider range of options for tricks. Profile caught up with Dillon Leeper who has been riding the hub since the prototype stage a few years ago to talk about three of the advantages that he likes the hub for the most. Hit play and check out what he had to say!

“While riding with Dillon Leeper in Richmond, we decided to do a quick video on what he feels are the three advantages to using the Profile ZCoaster.

Pedal pressure for:
1. Manual to 180’s
2. Backward smith to reverts
3. Wall Slaps

The Profile ZCoaster is the best of both worlds…a freecoaster and a cassette.

As with all Profile Racing products, it is made right here in the USA.” – Profile Racing

Profile Racing – Grant Castelluzzo “Tech Support”

May 10, 2017

When you think of technical grind combos, there’s a good chance Grant Castelluzzo‘s riding instantly comes to mind. Grant is notorious for putting together some ridiculous grind combos with all for our his pegs that usually require a rewind or two to fully understand what he did. Here’s his latest for Profile Racing that has a pretty laid back vibe to it, but the riding is so technical that’ll definitely have your head spinning a bit. Take a look!

“For Grant Castelluzzo, tech riding is a lifestyle… Grant might be doing to most grinds in a single link in BMX right now. Think about that. Grant put some months in for Profile BMX with Scott Marceau behind the lens and this is the end result.
