Spotted this sign in the back of a taxi here… guess no scooters, VW Beetles or large wine glasses allowed? Good times !!

On the long drive from Melbourne to Brisbane a few weeks back we stopped in at a cool new park in NSW called Swansea.

Just a few clips of Zac Miner, Cooper Brownlee and Liam Zingbergs hitting it before the rain set in.

Filmed by Cooper and Zac, sorry about the extra wind blowout in the audio, the external mic broke the day before and it was super windy…

To celebrate the official opening of the new park at Wallsend in NSW, there is going to be a huge jam for all to come ride & have a great day. April 10th is the day & there will even be a few of our team riders down there as well. See you there !! Proudly supported by Drift Bikes along with many other fine people.

Random photo of Marnold from last year that I forgot about until i saw it on his facebook, lofty three to fakie in Melbourne…

Liam Zingbergs had a recent Oneclip from the Focalpoint 365 project…

I like coming over here to Taiwan. I usually come to visit my agent & the factories around 4 times a year. I am here once again for the international bike show putting the final plans in place for the 2012 ranges, which will be out in September around the planet. More on those in the months ahead.

The view from my hotel window of the world’s second tallest building, Taipei 101. This building never get’s old to look at, so crazy tall it has to be seen to be believed.

Thanks to Sam Routledge for sending over this photo of Chris he shot at the recent flood jam at Beenleigh park, you can see more of his shots here.

With recent events in Japan, I would like to express our concerns for anyone affected in the tragedy, our thoughts are with you.

Simon O’Brien has been over in Japan for the past 6 weeks or so & just got back home. He travelled around the country a fair bit doing the tourist thing. He didn’t take his bike but had a great time seeing the sights. He even dropped into see our Japanese Distributors head quarters. He also checked out a shop called Decade & hung with the locals. Here are some words from Simon…

Here’s some pics from my trip to Japan, was a great time seeing more of the country and culture. Made my way up to Hokkaido, the snow is amazing like everyone says it is. Also made my way down to Kyoto and Nara where Colony distro is based. Did some shop appearances and caught up with friends, it was cold but a great time!

Good times with the locals.

A while ago we released the news that we were doing some very limited edition frames made by FBM in the USA. Well, all good things come to those who wait & finally after many delays, the frames are getting close. Below is a photo of them tacked up & ready for welding. They should be available in about another 2-3 months tops but better late than never I say.

There will only be 50 frames produced & only available in Australia with some possibly available in France through Unleaded in very small numbers. Get in quick with your local dealer if you want to secure yourself one.

Brock Olive has been on the road now for close to a month straight now. Starting with our Colony trip & now he is on the Dishonour trip. Not bad for the kid who had pretty much never left Ipswich until now.

Slinging the b’s as always.

If you check out the new DIG you will see this advert featuring Tom doing a hang five grind or whatever he calls it, this grind still makes no sense to me!

A solid one clip from Brock whilst on a trip a couple weeks ago…

Our Contour Wheel Sets come pre-built & ready to roll out of the box. Featuring our aftermarket rims & hubs laced together with Black stainless steel spokes. Check them out at a Colony dealer near you now.

We rode something special yesterday, thanks to all the locals who hooked us up with the location.

Peta Shepherd scored herself a wall paper image over on the Ride BMX site. Click here now to download it yourself in full size.

In other Peta news, she is healing up well from her crash a few weeks ago. She even rode some demos last weekend. One tough girl !! Still will be a while before all her dental work is completed so still a long road to recovery ahead for her. We are still working on the fund raiser tee shirt for her too, more on that once it’s ready.

Yo yo !!

Our newest kid on the block, Brock Olive recently scored himself a spot on the Dishonour team & this is welcome edit. Enjoy.

Today was another super fun day riding around town with a bunch of locals, this place is pretty awesome, good people, good weather and good spots.

Ryan will be at a Vans one day camp with a comp the next day in Orlando, FL. You will be able to hang & ride with Ryan & other pro’s for the weekend. So if you’re in the area get yourself over there for some fun times.

Broc Raiford qualified in 6th place for the pro finals tomorrow at the Toronto BMX Jam in Canada. Not bad for his first international comp. Good luck for the finals mate.

Thanks to Fat Tony for the photo.

Nice sequence of Tom Stretton at Corindi Beach on the recent Brisbane to Canberra trip. Thanks to Copp’in it Sweet for the shot.

It was crazy hot yesterday in Perth, some of the local crew hooked us up with some fun spots which we had a ball at. We also hit a park which had the biggest spine I have ever seen in my life.

Zac Miner was recently bitten by a suspected White Tailed Spider which can have devastating results if not attended to quickly. Read on below for details from Zac. Get well soon mate !!

So yeah, I came home from the Colony trip, after spending a good 8 hours in pain in the car. After everyones advice I finally agreed to see the doc. I was dropped off and I was expecting to only be there for a little bit, next thing you know I’m being admitted to hospital, straight into surgery. The docs cut into my 3 bites, cutting out all the bacteria and potential venom, leaving me with these three craters on my back, arse and leg. In full recovery now after spending 4 days in hospital. I’m up in Canberra chillin with family and friends. Can’t wait to be back on the bike!!! Just greatful I actually went to hospital, ha.

After giving his bike away recently Ryan put a fresh new rig together as you can see below. Ryan is also back in Greenville now with the cold getting ready for the year ahead.

Myself, Marnold, Tom and Mick arrived in Perth yesterday and we went down to the local BMX store, Royal BMX and hung out for a few hours. None of us have been over here before and it was definately a treat to hang out with Ben and everyone down at the store. Thanks to everyone who came down, it’s awesome to see another legit BMX store in this country.

Broc Raiford is off to Canada today for the Toronto BMX Jam 2011 this weekend. It’s his first time outside the US & is pretty excited to say the least. Check back for some more updates from Broc from the jam.
