This is probably the last thing I expected to see in my inbox today. Simon riding a tricked out Penny-Farthing for a commercial…

The latest version of Alex’s combo seat is now available. The popular combo seat size and look along with some fresh new embroidery. More photos and info here.

Alex has been staying with me for the week whilst we work on some more projects and it’s been really productive, he heads home in a couple days but here are a few images from the week just been…

Anthony has been out with with Sykes working on a video project which will no doubt be great. Thanks to Matt Cordova for the shots.

Where do I start! It’s been a great month with lots of riding. My good friend Beev from Oregon came down to Southern California for 2 weeks and we spent ever day riding. It was so nice a showing him a bunch of spots and ride pools and trails. It had been raining a bunch in Oregon so it was really good time for him to come down and escape the weather.

If you guys remember “The Blob”, well the blob got a face lift and is now cut down and steeper and then turned into a spine! Just built that up a week ago. Been wanting to learn a few new things so built this ramp to play on at the house. Should be fun to see what kinda stuff goes down on it.

Also have a cool project that will be happening soon. Can’t say any details, but I’m excited for it and hope that it comes together the way I envision it!

Thanks to KEA over in Canada we have a new addition to the team; Nathan Hines is now reppin’ Colony in Vancouver. I saw Nathan ride a few months ago when we were over there and was hyped on his riding and attitude so for this to happen has me stoked.

Some of the crew road tripped it up to Bendigo yesterday for the jam we helped put on with Connections BMX. The turnout was pretty overwhelming which in turn created some pretty awesome riding. Here’s a few photos from the day…

Hey Guys,

Been a crazy last few months which some of you might already know from the online posts! Anyways I took on a new venture and opened up a Bike Shop/park ‘The Village’ which has been crazy time consuming! But it doesn’t stop there this is just the motivation I’ve needed to do bigger and better things!

Can not wait to start on a new project for your eyes soon and will get the park in there too. For the mean time go check out what I’ve been working on @thevillagebmx and I’ll keep everyone updated on @chriscourtenay! Here’s a few photos to go with my adventures and if your ever around the Brisbane area be sure so come whatup!!!! Chris.

Today we are stoked to welcome Anthony to the family. He recently set-up a Tradition frame off the back of his Bikes over Baghdad trip and it’s looking fresh! Anthony is about to start on a project with Nathan Sykes so be on the lookout for some fresh footage really soon.

Hey guys, It’s been a while but to be honest not much has changed. I’ve been to see my private orthopedic surgeon three times now and she has given me some good and not so good news.

Basically the main issue with my knee is there is a badly healed piece of bone on my tibia that is connected to the torn ACL still. Good news is if I can build up enough muscle and and the pain goes away then it’s likely I won’t even need surgery. However if the pain stays and it doesn’t get better by the new year then I will be going in the get the piece of bone ground off and a full knee reconstruction. See how we go.

For now I’m see a sports physician and I’m looking forward to building muscle in the places I need it.

Hope everyone is good. Follow me on Instagram, seeing as I’m not riding I’ve been chucking up old fun clips from past edits. Good memories for sure! @tom_stretton

Until next time. Peace!

The legend that is Fuzzy Hall has a cool video showcasing his love for 2 wheels. Pretty motivational if you ever think you’re to old to be riding, stoked to see Fuzzy running a Colony…

Back in May Mick and I started working on a new video project with the idea of shooting an entire trails video part as Mick was heavily into riding trails for many years so we thought it would be a good change up. Ever since that idea came about we’ve been digging in the rain, hail, sun and everything else in-between. It’s definitely something that has escalated into more then just creating a spot to film a good chunk of the video at, it’s become part of us both and something that I don’t think either of us see changing anytime soon. Here are a few shots from recent sessions.

Shouotout to the OG locals and also Grosser for helping with the build.

2 French related posts in 3 days. Here we have a bike check of Nathan‘s rig over on the DATA BMX website. It’s all in French but even if you can’t read it, it’s worth looking at all the riding and bike images. Check it all out here.

Simon was recently in California and he teamed up with TCU for an interview all about his life dedicated to Flatland. Such a good look into Simon’s life, really enjoyed this.

We helped support the recent Lilydale jam in Melbourne with YVCBMX and Jack Kelly filmed this video from it since he is out with a knee injury at the moment. Luke Parker shreds his local throughout.

Thanks to Jeremy Gonzales for putting this together for us over in France. Tanguy seems to be right at home on the new Monash frame.

In a couple weeks you are going to be in for a treat with Alex releasing a new video part that he has been filming recently with Troy Charlesworth. The footage the guys have collected is really amazing so I can’t wait to see it all finished up. For now you can check out his current ride below which includes the 9.4 version of his signature bars along with the Sweet Tooth frame and forks.

We are supporting the jam happening up in Bendigo, Victoria with Connections BMX in the coming weeks. The park in Eaglehawk is super fun and actors for most riders so you should have a great day. A few of the crew will be there so be sure to trip out to it.

Just got back home from my month long trip to the states.It was an amazing trip, it’s been so long since ive been back to the USA. I went over for my brothers wedding but turned it into a riding trip also. I spent some time in LA and then Denver as well as traveling around Colorado which is a beautiful state.

Some BMX highlights were….
Pistoleros jam’ in LongBeach.
Doing a shoot with RideBMX.
Doing and interview for TCU.
Riding with locals in both LA and Denver.
Filming for an upcoming project with @stewartmunrovideo
Battle in the Rockies comp in Denver.

Upcoming will be the release of a video i’ve been working on with @stewartmunrovideo and I will be working on an edit for @thebboyspot.

Follow me @simonobrienofficial. Photo is at Red Rocks shot by Bobby Carter.

As usual we are supporting the Down Underground Flatland series. Well the final is upon us so for anyone near Melbourne at the end of the month make sure you go check out the session, no doubt it will be entertaining. Check our entire Exon Flatland range right here.

Hello everyone! Hope you’ll are doing good and having fun riding your bikes. The winter in this part of the USA is moving closer and luckily I have “the Lumberyard” Indoor bike park to ride. Next to work, my misses and our 3 cats, I am spending quite a fair amount of time on my bike and keep working on my to do list. This list is pretty much a mix of tricks from back in the 90’s and Ideas I’ve had in the 90’s and about 15 years later I now try to finish unfinished business. It’s fun to create new combos and tricks and it feels a bit funny knowing the guy next to me is working on flair bar to whip while I am trying to 540 nosepick on a subbox. I am doing my own thing here and don’t really have anyone riding frontbrakes but the people I ride with are having a good time watching how BMX looked like 20 years ago haha. Since Clint & Keith hooked me up with the “Prody” frame I also got back into riding flatland again which definitely helps me with my balance and it’s fun on top of it. The frame is amazing and just looking at my bike makes so excited to ride everytime! I feel honored and lucky to ride one of those and this is the bike now that fulfills all my wants and needs. Well this is it for now and I’ll stop by again. I am not too much of a social media person but I still want to thank you for all the “likes” and kind words for what I am doing. I really appreciate it! All the best and have fun riding your bike!

Thanks to Eddie Braks for the photos.

Brandon Van Dulken is a man with skills on a bike that some of us only dream of. He can ride anything put in front of him and chances are he will be going full speed at it. Check his latest video below and his signature Roaster bars right here. Thanks to Corey Walsh for getting us the extra footage.

Whilst Alex was in the USA recently he spent some time with his good friend Boyd Hilder and filmer Dave Pendleton in San Fransisco and came back with a pretty amazing video filled with some great diverse riding from both of the guys. Make sure you check this out…

Hey guys! Wanted to shoot you over a update on what I’ve been up too.

A few weeks back I received a email from this company whistle sports, proposing if I would be a rider for a week long urban bmx video project. Finding out more details as our conversation continued, the bmx project will be 1 of many episodes premiered on this App called (Go90); Powered by Verizon wireless. After much detail about the project, the location for the film was revealed… A abandoned Hotel that was hosted for 1983 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. Better know as the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Raising some curiosity on where this county is on world map, Bosnia is located in the southeast of Europe on the Balkin peninsula. After agreeing to the deal, I come to find out two of my great friends were contacted also for this opportunity as well. Danny Josa and colony team mate Jackie Straiton!

Once arriving to Sarajevo airport, I was welcomed with the crisp winter weather with temperature as low of 25° and midday highs of 40° to 45° Fahrenheit. Once unpacking my bags in my hotel room, I met up with the boys Danny and Jackie.
We then all made our way to the abounded hotel location were we are meant to film. This photo below is 1 of the hotel’s that was hosted for the 1984 Winter Olympic games, here in Sarajevo, “Yugoslavia” — Less than a decade after the ogames, the Bosnian War tore Yugoslavia apart. Literally and figuratively… Lasting for four years between 1992 and 1996, the Siege of Sarajevo was the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare.

With custom ramp coronation with Ramp Riders out of Copenhagen, Denmark we had ramps build in and around the abandoned hotel.Below are some photos from the location. Jackie whipping over a 2 story high building to building 15 foot gap. We also shot a few pics in the city of Sarajevo!

Thanks guys, keep you updated on the final video!
Stay tuned.

We’ve recently dropped a few videos, so incase missed any this could be a good way to start your Sunday off before a roll.

Both Victor and Jackie along with Danny Josa have been over in Bosnia working on something really special. I can’t wait to see the finished product but for now these photos will keep us happy…

Thanks to Danny for the shots.
