Old School BMX Ambassadors are the obsessed, born in the 70's grew up in the 80's and 90's, stuck in an era, arguably insane dudes that collect, and promote BMX wherever they are!
Known as Mr. BLING on his IG, and founder of Ride & Shine ™ Events and @bmx_bling, Pat is an avid BMX Collector and an Old School BMX Flatland rider, ( well he tries anyways).
"Chrome is King" according to Mr. BLING. Pat collects and blings out some of history's most prized grails, including; Redline, Hutch, Haro, Dyno, CW, SE Racing and his personal favourite GT.
WHY SO MUCH CHROME? " There's a few reasons, number one, it just looks fantastic, there's no colour in the world that compares to fresh chrome. Number 2, I like my builds to be as close to OG as possible, and I hunt bikes that have decent chrome because there are methods to polish and preserve the integrity of the bike and keep it OG' . Most people powder or paint their builds, and i totally respect they have to because many of these OSBMX had seen better days, but chrome can be brought back to life and that means OG. "
