OUR Mission
The Bellingham Beyblade Organization (BBO) exists to foster a welcoming, dynamic, and inclusive community for Beyblade enthusiasts in the Bellingham area. Through tournaments, and meetups, the BBO provides an opportunity for players of all ages and skill levels to connect, improve their skills, and experience the joy of competition in a positive environment. We believe in the spirit of fair play, skill-building, and creativity, and we aim to make Beyblade accessible and enjoyable for everyone in our community.
WHO is the BBO?
The Bellingham Beyblade Organization (BBO) is led by a small, vetted team of organizers responsible for overseeing all aspects of the organization and events. This core group makes decisions collaboratively to best serve the community’s interests and maintain high standards of sportsmanship, inclusivity, and fair play. Judges and additional volunteers may support individual events, but they operate under the guidance of the core team to ensure a consistent and positive experience for all participants.
MEET YOUR JUDGES
DANNY BROWN
He/Him/His
Danny is the Marketer and Graphic Designer for the BBO. He manages social media content, designs promotional materials, and creates many of the visuals you see - including this website.
A fan of high-impact play, Danny favors attack-type Beys, especially the Shark Edge and Shark Scale lineup. As one of the BBO’s judges, he’s always happy to answer questions about tournaments or events.
When he’s not blading, you can usually find Danny at local Bellingham cafés reading comics or building Gunpla model kits. He’s also an avid illustrator and has a strong passion for finding the best strawberry rhubarb pie.
ETHAN LOCHRIDGE
He/Him/His
Ethan is one of our dedicated Judges at the Bellingham Beyblade Organization. Without Judges like Ethan, tournaments and other community events simply wouldn’t exist.
Ethan is a fierce Attack-Type enthusiast. As our resident Phoenix Wing Blader, his go-to combo is Phoenix Wing 9-60 Point. When you see the player name Lochridge across the stadium, tighten your grip, you’re in for a powerful launch!
Off the arena, Ethan stays busy raising his toddler daughter, getting lost in a good book, or keeping the lawn sharp and trimmed.
