I have known Pete for a few years now with dealings at previous stores he used to manage over the years. He had always talked about doing his own shop one day. Last year he finally put that dream into reality & opened Freeriders Bike Shop in Camira. In a short time he has grown his store into something special catering for all kinds of 2 wheeled fun. He carries our full ranges including our complete bikes. Situated just down the road from the park at Springfield which is always fun to ride. Next time you’re out that way pop in & say g’day.

Our flow rider from the USA Broc Raiford really put together something special, he does a bunch of good moves in this on some really nice looking spots. Nose bonk to rail was dialed…
In other Broc news, he went into surgery yesterday to have his teeth fixed up after losing a couple in Toronto a couple weeks ago. Wishing you the fastest recovery mate.
Today Zac did some damage to his knee, hopefully it’s not to bad. We were just watching the clip from it and this screen shot is a perfect description of the pain he was in after the incident, what he was trying would have been awesome though…
Simon O’Brien did some riding for an FMX crew recently & they put together this edit in between shows, enjoy.

Cooper Brownlee sent in a little email about a new park near his place, read on below…
We have a new indoor park just opened up 15 minutes from my house called, Rampit. If you’re into grinds you will love this place, super fun with some cool lines. I just wish they would fix the slippery concrete. Thanks to Sam Illman for the photo.

Myself, Zac and Mick drove down to Adelaide today/yesterday, Here for some unfinished filming business. We stopped into Little black Bike which is one of my favourite stores in Australia, so dialed! Matt and Jack hold down a good store so make sure you pop in if you ever come to Adelaide.
We are proud to be continuing the support for the Core Series up in Brisbane, you can get all the up to date info on their site here. The first one is next month so make sure you get out there…
Paddy Gross sent in a quick update of what he has been up to since his visit down under last month…
So after my amazing Australian experience I am back in Germany and things started getting pretty much back to normal. I am working again and already started to save up again for my next Australian trip hopefully very soon. I miss the whole team cause everyone treated me like we’ve been friends for years and that’s what Colony is about. I remember when Clint said “I want you to be a part of the Colony family” Now I know what the “Colony family” is about, it’s about fun, friends, smiles, love, adventures, ideas and being authentic.
So I am getting ready for the season and for now all I am doing is riding demos. Last weekend I’ve been in town where I grew up and after two years I’ve had a good sesh at my local skatepark and at a new indoor place which just opened a couple month ago. Well I’ve taken heaps of memories from the good times in Australia and they make me smile everyday.
Thanks again to Clint Millar & Glen, the whole team, the bike shops and the beautiful Australian country for making me have one of the most amazing times in my life. Cheers! Paddy.
