Metro Jam BMX Contest Series

PROJECT DETAILS

Creative Direction: Chris Young
Art Direction: Chris Young

Design: Chris Young (unless noted otherwise)
Production: Chris Young (unless noted otherwise)

The Metro Jam BMX contest series was one of the most anticipated professional contest events of the calendar year, drawing the world’s top professional BMX riders. The Metro Jam was most proud of pulling in pro riders that had shied away from contests once the large TV contests like the X-Games had tarnished the competitive scene for the most core riders.

I oversaw the entire Metro Jam BMX contest series, from conception to logo(s) creation, doing the ads, website, writing copy and press releases right through to running the actual event. We’d change up the logo and look every couple of years to keep the look fresh. The Metro Jam contest series ran annually in both Toronto and Vancouver from 2001-2006, and in 2007 we took the contest to Singapore for the RushHD television channel.
