There’s a fresh Bike Check with Cory Foust over on the Profile Racing website giving you a look at his current Terrible One Barcode setup. Cory is running a few new items like the Animal Bikes X Terrible One Tire, a new Tripod seat that we haven’t seen from Profile Racing yet and a cool leather hub wrap that James Covington made. You can check out more photos and a full parts list here — Cory Foust Rig Check
Wow, talk about an amazing DIY spot! Some of the Profile Racing crew caught a session at a spot in Tampa that a guy built out of his driveway! This is what we call taking things into your own hands, haha. Check out some real good riding on this dream spot! Ironically, none of the cars were actually parked on the driveway, haha.
“The first Installment of the Profile X DIG BMX DIY Documentary Series.
Over the course of the year, the Profile crew will be hitting up a selection of DIY spots to document the story of their creation, maintenance, and perpetuation.
The Dream Driveway is tucked into a quiet neighborhood in Tampa, Florida where Ryan Clements (Owner) invited us out for a session and a walk through the details of an absolutely amazing spot.
We hope you enjoy.
Riders: Riley Jordan, Chad Degroot, Mark Mulville, and Matt Coplon.

It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these “The Art Of” pieces, so we figured it would be a good time to take a closer look at one part in particular that we’ve been thinking about lately, the BMX Sprocket. The other day we were bouncing around to a few different brands websites to see if there were any new products or anything else new to see, and we ended up staring at the sprockets. When you think about it, the sprocket is one of those things that can really be altered the most as far as aesthetics go. We’ve seen A LOT of sprockets in BMX’s history, so we decided to stick to sprockets that are currently available. Even with cutting it back to that, there’s still a ton of options available. Add in the different combos between the standard bolt drive, Spline drive, and socket drive, colors, versions with guards, etc. There’s a lot to take in. We bounced around and picked out some of our favorites from a number of brands, which you can check out below with a few words about each! Ready?
When it comes to BMX parts and products, traditionally the person buying the product only gets to see the product either in the shop they bought it from or a few photos online before making the purchase and seeing it turn up a few days later in a box. Only few ever really see where the product actually was made and came from before getting to that stage.
There are only a handful of brands that can say they produce their products in-house in BMX or, really, in the entire bicycle industry, and it goes without saying that it’s an interesting process to see.
We made a trip to the Profile Racing warehouse in St. Petersburg, Florida to catch a tour of the warehouse with Matt Coplon to see just where the hubs, cranks, sprockets, stems and a number of other products are produced for Profile and Madera. Between the freestyle BMX, BMX racing, mountain bike and even car parts they produce, there’s quite a bit to see from the stock to the crazy machines they use to produce everything from a piece of metal into a precision product.
Hit play, kick back and take the tour! Big thanks to Matt Coplon and Profile Racing for letting us come through!

A little while back, Profile Racing‘s own Jared Eberwein and Ricky Moseley spent a little time out in Hawaii for a jam. They made the trip early so they could check out the place and film this new BMX video! Hit play and check out some real dialed riding from the skatepark they rode on the island!
“Ricky Moseley and Jared Eberwein made their way to Oahu, HI in January 2016 for the second Profile Racing X Bikefactory Hawaii jam. They went out a week before the Jam to ride, swim, and explore as much as they could. Huge thanks to Duane from Bikefactory Hawaii bike shop, Brian Cox, and Kyler Ebisutani for being our guide!”
Profile Racing have re-released a limited edition run of their popular Mini hubs in Anti-Freze green! Some of you might recall when they were originally released back in 2011 ( Original Anti-Freeze Hubs ) and it looks like they’ve been brought back for 2016. As always, these hubs are made right here in the U.S.A by Profile Racing in their Florida based warehouse. You can pick up the matching front and rear hubs in Right Side Drive only for $349.95. If you are looking for only the front, or would like a left side drive in the rear, you can build your own hub starting at $212.95 for the cassette and $126.95 for the front. Hit up your favorite BMX shop or mail-order to get some ordered up. If not, you can pick the hubs up direct from the Profile Racing webstore.
Here’s a rad one that Profile Racing dropped online featuring Chad DeGroot and Terry Adams putting in some work at a few different skateparks, street spots and flatland areas around New Orleans! Plenty of creative and amazing riding in this BMX video. Take a look!
“2-1/2 days zig-zagging across the Louisiana triangle: NOLA, Hammond, and Baton Rouge with Chad Degroot and Terry Adams.
Chad mixes up flat with street style, and Terry connects some wild links aboard the Profile Z Coaster.
Thanks to Terry and Vanessa for the hospitality, Scott O-Brien and Ooti for the NOLA tour guiding.
