Good luck in the next rounds mate !!

After almost ten years of lobbying spear headed by Shane Conlon down in Coffs Harbour, they are getting closer to having a park built there. The budget set aside so far is $1million so they should get a pretty decent park finally. If you could show your support for the park by clicking the link here & submitting your email it will form another sign of support to the Coffs Harbour council. There are some people in the community against the new park but if we all show our support for it it will go ahead. Click the link here now & show your support.

As you can see above, Coffs Harbour needs your help, their park as it is now is terrible !!

Here is some footage from Paddy Gross’s first outdoor session this spring at his home town park of Trier in Germany.

Yo yo !!

Paddy Gross the worldwide traveller out of Germany, sent in a quick update on what he has been up too… read on below.

OK, here’s my little something I’ve been up to in the last couple weeks. Well I’ve been riding heaps of demos as usual and besides that, finally the sun came out in Germany after a long winter. I was like “Hey my name is Spring and my friend Summer is on his way as well” Great conditions to ride outside and traveling 6 hours to the town (Trier) where I grew up and film a little session at my local park. I also went for a quick photo session to the new indoor park in Trier and had a heaps of fun at this place.

Between all of this I’ve also visited my Colony team mate Benny Paulsen’s backyard miniramp for a weekend and it´s been good hanging around sharing jokes, life and BMX.

A friend of mine from Slownia asked me for a little interview for his website Mellon BMX. I really appreciate when people wanna hear my opinion about things and if you interested to read it click here now.

So the contest season is pretty much about to start and I will hit up whatever seems fun to me and hope to get to see heaps new places and meet new people. I am constantly up to something like a workman who loves to tinker on things and like he knows how to use his screw driver, I know how to use my bike 🙂

I probably said this a hundred times already but why not going for 101 times, I love riding for Colony because everything couldn’t be better and since I’ve met the team now, I am even more proud to be a part of Colony.

Cheers, Paddy.

Chris was planning to hit up the Asian X-Games next week but unfortunately wont be able to make it over now. Good luck with the recovery CC. A random shot of Brock and Tom added in for good measure.

I am sure we will have something on offer that will suit you from our Sweet Tooth for the little riders out there, to the Rebirth for the all-rounders, to the Teddy for those that wanna bomb any rail in sight, to the Lowcut for the new schoolers.

Pete Radivo has been on it lately. Over the years Pete has fallen victim to many knee re-constructions, but lately he has been riding really well, snapped this photo whilst out filming with Pete a couple of days ago.

Lately the Newcastle (NSW) area has been blowing up with fresh, quality parks getting built, good stores like Drift Bikes and good crew holding down all around the area. Help the crew out and Like their facebook page to help get more government funding for events and new parks. The page will have all info on jams, comps, premieres around the area plus it will start to have exclusive local edits. check it out.

Thanks to Copp’in it Sweet for the photo of Tom and Jerry after a solid days riding up in Brisbane hitting a few schools whilst the weather was good.

A couple of days ago we went out filming but it rained all day! So we missioned over to a warehouse spot that we new of and had a really fun ride for a solid 4 hours. This winter my friends, don’t let the rain stop you, just keep searching…

Over on The Union, our newest team rider out of Canada Steven Moxley has a really good interview up, you can check it out here.

Chances are you have never been to Darwin or even the Northern Territory here in Australia (I know I haven’t yet) but there is definitely a scene up there. We have the good guys at SpokesNT along with the Darwin Scene blog, well now they are trying to get an indoor park up there so if you can spare two clicks of your time to Like this Facebook page it might just help the crew up there out and you never know it could help give you another reason to get up there.

Spotted this sweet little sequence over on the Little Black Bike site of Liam Zingbergs doing his thing.

Liam has been invited to compete in the Asian X Games in street in China later this month. Below is the course him & team mate Chris Courtenay will be shredding.

Our last colourways of our 2011 model complete bikes has now arrived in Australia & most other countries soon to follow.

You can check out all new colours of our Descendent in Matt Black/Gold & Matt Grey/Purple as well as our new colour Endeavour bikes in Matt Black/Chrome & Red Storm/Chrome.

You can also check out our all new model for 2011 now called the Lil’ Endeavour in Matt Black/Chrome & Red Storm/Chrome. It is essentially a smaller revised version of the ever popular Endeavour based off the geometry of a Sweet Tooth for those smaller riders out there. It’s a perfect first bike for a younger rider for their first 20″ bike.

Of course we also have our Teddy Pro in Matt Black/Blue, Sweet Tooth Pro in Matt Black/Wasabi, Lowcut Pro in Red Storm/Black & Rebirth Pro in Matt Grey/Chrome as well. Check them all out while they last a a Colony dealer near you now. These Pro model bikes are now cheaper & even greater value for money. Check your dealer for details.

I spotted this last night, Chris down at the recent GC Compund Jam, Both himself and Kyle Baldock going Crazy high…

Yesterday we had a great day riding at 4 different parks here in Brisbane. Pete Radivo is in town & we hit up Crestmead, Browns Plains, Woodridge & finally Kuraby. Getting clips at each spot as we went, good times for sure. From left to right is Glennie, myself, Pete, Alex & Peta.

Brock Olive put together a new bike yesterday just because he wanted something a little shorter & a new colour. Brock’s choice of frame was a 20.5″ Teddy. The guys at Lux BMX were nice enough to slap it together for him too. They even convinced him to go 4 pegs too, making him pretty much unstoppable now, haha. Below is also a clip of his first trick on his new bike. Enjoy.
