"In the Spring of 1998, Jeff Harrington, on behalf of Profile, asked if I'd ride for their brand. 20 years later, I couldn't see myself riding any other drive train. Celebrating both 20 years of riding for the brand (17 of those working closely here in the Profile factory) and the daily motivation I still feel upon turning 41, here's a collection of clips I've put together building up to that date. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy." - Matt Coplon "Thanks to Profile Racing for 20 years of support. To Chad Degroot and Deco. To John Povah and Etnies. To Brian Schaefer and the Skatepark of Tampa. To Adi Gilbert and Folklore. To Steve Crandall and FBM. Thanks to Steve Caro, Ricky Moseley, Mike Hinkens, Eric "Easy" Fabrisiak, and Alan Shirley for motivation and assistance with filming. Extra thanks to Ariel Gunn, Adi Gilbert, Will and DIG BMX, Beth and Alan Shirley and especially Steve Caro for all their help and support." - Matt Coplon
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
