Matt Coplon, longtime TM/ rider/ wearer of many hats at Profile, celebrated moving up to Level 4.8 by putting together a collection of clips, the latest in a series of edits since he turned 40.Here at DIG we just can't say enough good things about this guy. His contribution to BMX is second to none on so many levels and even his music taste rules.

"A recap of clips filmed on the road to turning 48.

An infinite amount of thanks goes out to these folks for being a part of the filming process, and more importantly, for being THE source of motivation (in order of clips):

Dan Dellorso, Gergo Kis, Heath Evans, Eric Fabisiak, Alan Shirley, Michael Jimenez, Zach Grimmett, Cory Foust, Mike Hinkens, Drew Jackson, Steve Caro, Alex Lepak, and Danny Keeley.

Extra Thanks to Profile Racing, Skatepark of Tampa, Deco Bmx, Circuit Bmx Shop, Radshare, Drop In Coffee, and FLBMX. Thanks to Dig Bmx for their support in hosting.

Thanks to Todd and Dan (Thunderclap/Meatwound) for music clearance: "As I wipe my chin."

And to you, for taking the time to watch and for your support. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

Part Two of this edit is a homage to INXS' video for their song "Mediate."
For me, the past three years have been a balancing act between low-lows and high-highs.
Each card represents either a memorial/loss, a stressor, or something that has, or continues to, bring joy. Thankfully, our local BMX community has really helped me navigate this mental headspace; extended thanks to Alex Lepak, Eric Fabisiak, and Dan Dellorso for playing (quite literally) a huge part in that."
