Corey gave me a tour of the shop for my Mech engineering Manufacturing Processes class about 12 years ago. As a ME student and BMX rider it was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. I couldn’t believe that I was in the factory of one of the most prolific manufacturers in the sport. I am truly grateful for that experience. I have carried that memory into a lifelong career.

best bmx parts ever

[@andydreadsbmx]

Thats quite the rig with the rotating 4 and 4 set up. I've designed and made a sprocket years ago and this is so much more efficient.

[@hectorn.6137]

I think I know where I'm buying my next sprocket from.

[@bmxadventures]

You wont be disappointed! Profile parts turn your bike from a toy into a precise instrument of destruction. Get their hubs you will be stoked!

[@hectorn.6137]

@@bmxadventures I bet. Shit's pricey though.

[@djluminol]

@@bmxadventures I have a profile crank and sprocket set on my old bike from the 90's and they're still in good shape. And it isn't from being babied. It's spent plenty of time in the dirt and rain riding tails. I'd say 25 years of constant abuse is pretty good. Especially since the sprocket is still in pretty good shape. A bit of aluminum polish and they'd look new again I'm sure. There's some slop between the teeth from the metal getting worn by the chain over the years but for 25 years that's really not bad. Profile makes good parts at a reasonable price for what you get. Their stuff tends to hold up. I also have profile cranks on that bike, they are also 25 years old and also still in great shape. They have a tiny bit of slop but they been that way since they were new. I can't do really big jumps like I used to but I still dirt jump that bike all the time over 10 or 15 foot jumps. It's one thing for a part to hold up when your 15 and weigh 100lbs. It's a whole other when your 40, weigh 170 and have been using the same part for the last 25 years. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

@@hectorn.6137 for made in usa its dirt cheap, i dont know how they do it

[@Lurch812]

I miss doing this for a living :(

[@fransschreuders8488]

20 seconds to make it by machine, 20 minutes to package it by hand.

[@barlowjmb]

This is awesome!

[@Onbael13b]

0:20 the burnt raw cranks that’s what people want from profile make it happen and spline drive sprocket guards please 🙏❤️🔥

[@silentthunda84]

we need more 26 tooth bash guard sprockets

[@djluminol]

Don't you f up your sprocket using one of those to bash grind? I tried an old school bash guard years ago and mangled it in about a month. It got so smashed in that it was above the height of my sprocket and became useless. It would have held up if it had a support between the frame mounts under the bottom bracket to prevent the arch from being bent upward. It didn't though, so it got smashed in real quick. I bought it for grinding and landing on but it didn't last for shit. I think I had a total of maybe 7 or 8 days worth of street riding in downtown Seattle. I'd think repeated force on the guard sprocket would destroy the sprocket if you use it for anything other than protecting your pants from getting eaten by your chain. They aren't going to save your sprocket if you land on it with any force and you can't grind them without damaging the sprocket so what's the point beyond not having to buy new pants?

[@MedalMetaller]

The imperial is my favorite looking sprocket

[@MrFuchew]

[@robertlund5694]

[@pinkflamingos69]

They got canceled because someone said the team manager said something bad 8 years ago but nobody else remembers it happening.
