The final leg of Bryce Toole’s Rippin’ Gypsy Tour is upon us, and Profile is auctioning off two pivotal sample seats that never went into production to raise money for him. Only one of each was ever made. Take your pick from the wild one pictured above, or a more subdued brown model. Snatch ‘em up and help Bryce get home.

Profile sent over their latest print ad featuring Tony Cardona catching some air. Check it after the jump.

Kent Pearson has been riding BMX for 25 years as of this summer, so he made this edit for Profile Racing to commemorate the occasion.

If you have, or can take a really good photo from the trails, you probably should take a look at this.

Matt Coplon had a busy 24 hours this week that started when his bike was stolen off his car at Profile headquaters. Read all about Matt’s ordeal here.

The next item for auction has gone up on eBay. The proceeds of these auctions go to offset the cost of Bryce Toole’s Rippin’ Gypsy trip. Madera/Profile are auctioning off product (sometimes rare product) for each leg of his trip. Bryce is about 600+ deep in the great Smokey Mountains as of this posting. Check back on the Madera site and Bryce’s blog to keep up with his whereabouts. The next auction: a set of Profile Rasta RHD Mini Hubs.

Fat BMX (a BMX website that isn’t The Come Up) had posted an item accusing Profile of ripping off their shirt design. The shirt on the left is the Profile design, the shirt on the right is the Fat design. A few things come to mind:

1) Do you really think that anyone at Profile even knew that the Fat shirt existed? I mean I spent more time looking at BMX related stuff online than anyone, and I had no idea Fat even made shirts.

2) Does Fat not realize that the tricks in the 2 photos aren’t the same? I’m no photographic expert or anything but the photos also look nothing alike, the Profile as had a hard border while the Fat shirt is blurred and has text in the middle of the shirt.

3) Does this mean that Fat own an unofficial copyright on all black & white photography now?

Something tells me that Fat will try and claim that their post was a joke, but something also tells me that it wasn’t originally posted with that intent.

This is a re-edit of all of Profile’s footage from Megatour 9.

Here, Jeff K and Grant C, who both have very hard to spell last names, show off some technical skatepark moves. Interesting moment at 38 seconds where Jeff performs hang 5’s carving in both directions. Is that really a different trick? I can’t call it, discuss in the comments.
