About Pat Blackburn
Pat Blackburn was a BMX coach that cared deeply about BMX racing and the kids he coached. Pat headed up The Bike, Blade and Board Coalition’s effort to get the city of Chandler to recognize the need for legal, public places for BMX freestylers and racers to ride. His leadership led to the design, build and opening of the Phoenix area’s first bike park on May 5th, 2007. Pat passed away in November of 2014 and this contest is named in his memory.
Psychicflyingmonkey Productions is a Tempe-based film production company specializing in producing BMX and other action sports films, commercials, music videos, and short and feature films.
About the Pat Blackburn Open
Although it opened in 2007, Chandler Bike Park had never hosted a legitimate contest…until just last year. On October 15th, 2016, the first ever BMX freestyle contest went down at one of the raddest bike parks in the United States. The first Pat Blackburn Open was a great success and will continue to take place annually.
Sponsorship and banner opportunities are available for the 2017 Pat Blackburn Open. Please contact Jason Ryan through the e-mail address on the poster for more information.
