The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
Just because I’m in Chicago at the Vitamin Invitational, doesn’t mean I’m going to skip out on our usual Saturday post. Going into our fourth volume of Products:, we have a closer look at five products from Hoffman, Profile, Division Brand, Eclat and Deluxe. So let’s get into this!

It was announced a few months back that Jeff K and Profile were working on a new drive side hub guard for their hubs. Well, it’s finally done and ready for you to pick up. The guard is made from 7075 aluminum and replaces your cone spacer and jam nut. It also features an integrated “step” that fits in your drop out as a anti-roll pin. The guard is available in right or left hand drive with a weight of 2.2 oz. (63 grams).
These are available now for about $30 so have your shop hit up Profile and get you one ordered!
Profile did a little cleaning up and dialed in a fresh new website that looks so good. Head over to ProfileRacing.com and have a look for yourself!
Ride BMX caught up with Profile Racing‘s Matt Coplon gives you a run down of what’s coming from them this year for colors in 2012. Matt also gives you a look at how they build the hubs which is pretty rad if you haven’t seen that before.

There’s one thing that I’ve come to learn about Jared over the last few years, and that is that he can throw down some real good riding on whatever is put in front of him. The Union is really stoked to premiere this fresh new video of Jared killing the streets and trails of California for Profile Racing! Hit play already!
Here’s some leftover clips for Jared Eberwein’s full edit for Profile that will be dropping TOMORROW! I believe it’ll be premiering here on The Union, so check back in the morning to enjoy some damn good riding!
Over the years, I’ve definitely developed a big interest in the product side of things with BMX. Something about all the small details, specs and time that go into a product really gets to me just as much as riding these days. I’ve definitely had the opportunity to find out more about how products are made while interviewing brands and product designers as well as the chance to find out about products that the rest of the world only get a glimpse of online during events like Interbike and Frostbike. I was also given the opportunity to handle the Productivity section of DIG from issue 73-87 until recently deciding to step away to focus more of my attention on The Union. I decided I wanted to keep doing what I was able to do in those pages the last few years but turn it into a weekly column here on a smaller scale where I feature 5 products from 5 different brands. Give you all the specs, where to find it, how much and pretty much every other important detail. So here it is…. the first round of Products:. Check it!
