Our BMX adds to tributes

Our BMX posted a tribute for Pat Casey after news broke of his sudden death.

The tribute read: “It’s with true sadness that I have to type the following sentence: Pat Casey, beloved father, husband, great f***ing BMX rider, and an all around fantastic human, has passed away.

“I’ve known Pat the better part of twenty years… I first met up with him on his backyard ramp to shoot a little thing on him for Ride BMX magazine and I vividly remember being how shocked at how d*mn good he was—that he was able to do flair whips at 16 when most of BMX hadn’t locked them in yet.

“I also remember thinking it was pretty f***ing awesome that his dad not only built him a mini ramp, but made a studio underneath one of the decks so that Pat could wail away at the drums in between sessions. Pat was quiet, but confident in who he was and how good he was on a bike.”

Caseys was in Paris last week

Pat Casey took his family to Paris recently and posted a video montage of their trip just last week.
