Business BMX II DVD – Corey Fraser Section

October 11, 2017

Check out Corey Fraser’s section from the “Business II” DVD that’s packed with heat from rail hops to wallrides over doors and more! This is a shorter section, but it has plenty of gems to take in from start to finish. Check it out!

“Corey easily has the highest hops in the maritimes, it’s unreal. He doesn’t ride too often but whenever we find ourselves in Moncton NB for the weekend he comes out no questions asked. Corey has some clips in this from the very first year we started filming to the last, and even though it’s a short section there’s some crazy good stuff in this.” – Ian Fleming

“Business II is a scene video out of Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada that has been 5 years in the making. The entirety of this video was filmed on the east coast of Canada, featuring a long line up some of the most talented street riders in the Maritimes, with tons of different styles. We hope you enjoy it.”

Check out this rad VX edit featuring Filipe Laghi going to work on street spots all around the city of Perth down in Australia.

“An edit I made for my good friend Filipe, he moved to Perth not so long ago from Brazil. Since he has lived in Perth he hasn’t stopped exploring the city. It made sense to try capture some of it.

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.
