Barba just set up a fresh new bike, we will have a full bike check soon but for now, check out how good the new Monash frame looks all built up…

Hey guys just a little update to let you know what’s happening.

It’s been hard to give anyone news because to be quite honest, there hasn’t been any. So I’m going through physio weekly and have to keep doing that. I have an MRI scheduled for 3 months from now because believe it or not there is still too much edema in my knee. It’s a long process but I’m getting stronger by the day and am not letting it get me down too much.

Now to the good news. That news is that everyone’s favourite human (and my own personal hero) Bobbie Altiser has a split video coming out with myself next week. It’s not the same as our first one but the things he does on a bike are just absurd. I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen at least 5 of the tricks he does in it. So get excited for that.

The footage of myself was just stuff that I was able to film with the man Cooper while we had the chance for a month at the start of last summer. Still fun stuff though. Other than that I’m just keeping busy guys. Exercising my leg mainly. I’ll be back in no time. Just wanted to say thanks to Colony for having my back this whole time I’ve been injured. Really lifts my spirits and makes me want to get back faster.

Anyway, until next time, Peace!

Zac Miner decided to take a step back from the PRO side of things within BMX so we wanted to send him off right with a video of all his most recent un-seen footage. We had some fun trips with Zac all around the world which I will miss but thankfully our friendship doesn’t end here so the good times will continue no doubt…

Be sure to check out his section in the Backbone BMX dvd that recently came out it’s a wild one!

Thanks to B-Dog for the additional clips.

Mick recently headed down to the brand new Noble Park in Melbourne with a couple of his boys Kym and Sean from Strictly BMX. The guys put together this video from the session, i definitely recommend hitting up the park if you are ever in Melbourne.

Hey Guys,

Over here in Melbourne we have been lucky enough to have some new parks pop up of late. Last weekend myself and the boys went and hit the new Noble Park skate park, it’s a pretty epic park with something for everyone from big bowls to really fun jib rails. we filmed a little mixtape there which I have a few clips in so be on the look out for that. I also have some clips in another mixtape that’s about to drop soon.

Also with daylight savings on its way and summer coming I am working on another solo web edit and also a special project with Cooper Brownlee I am real pumped on.

So dont be lazy, get out there on your bike. have fun, keep learning and get creative.

Peace..

KEA are always doing great things for the Canadian scene such as these comp/jams. Brandon happen to win this round and from the video you will see him blasting some crazy gaps along with everyone enjoying the good looking park…

The French connection, Bruno Faucon recently set-up a new Monash frame surrounded by other Colony goods. He shot this video of building it up then putting it to work at the local park…

Jourdan has some good clips throughout this video from a recent Stacked BMX jam…

JK has a double page advert in the current issue of Soul BMX over in Europe. The photo was shot by Daniel Johnson where Jack opposite crooks a large rail for his most recent video. All the 2016 frames are now available in Australia with the rest of the world in the coming weeks.

Jourdan Barba is the man! Even with handling fatherhood he still manages to find the time to go out and hit beast mode as you will see from his new video.

Filmed and Edited by Larry Alvarado.

Head over to the RIDE BMX website for an in-depth bike check interview with Nathan about his current ride including a look at the new Tradition frame which actually just landed here in Australia with the rest of the world in the coming weeks.

Luke has had a bad run of injuries but has been back at it lately full speed. Here’s couple photos from the weekend along with some recent Instavids you should enjoy.

What a great month! Cooper just left and headed back to Oz but while he was here we had the chance to do a trip to Canada. Had the best of times riding and hanging out with all the shredders up north. Shop stops and skate parks in Vancover were to good! Defenitly can’t wait to make another trip back.

Been working on a seat promo video. Been really excited about the release of my Colony X Locals Only seat. Cooper and i have been plugging away at that and hope to have a wrap on it this month.

Lots of good things to come as I just started working a new project I have wanted todo for a long time. As that unfolds I will have more details, but for now its just ride and seek and enjoy every moment inbetween!

Just a little update of what i’ve been up to of late……..

I’ve been doing a lot of recovering from being unwell towards the start of the year, which has involved finishing off study ( Diploma in Safety / WHS ) , getting back on the bike and finding work in my not so booming area.

I recently got hooked up on American clothing company ‘Biggest and Baddest’ who are right down my alley being all about hip hop, graff and breakdancing! I love their style and direction. Be sure to check them out everyone…such good quality!

I’m hanging out for the release of Colony’s EXON flatland line, it’s gonna be great! I’ve been working on a dvd section for Stewart Munro, which is good motivation.

Also starting to film for a section for Viki Gomez for the Tokyo film festival, I also have an upcoming art gig which will be different and fun. And heading to LA and Denver in October. Busy with my BMX which is great!

More from Alex over in California in the form of a day in the life video. Good to see him doing well over there and making the most of it.

Jack Kelly has a few clips in this new Mixtape from the Sydney based crew, the whole thing is well worth a watch…

We met up with Alex at the FOD trails yesterday evening for a golden hour session and it was a real treat! Shooting photos during this time of day in California is priceless. Alex was pretty beat from the day before but he still got a session in and Nathan was doing kickouts and tables as usual…

We are supporting the street jam going down in Lyon, France in a few months. No doubt this is going to be a good time.

We headed out to Oriol Bike Shop on Saturday for the street jam which was amazing. So many riders came out and held it down at all the spots we rode. Shoutout to the guys who made it happen.

The other day we spent that day riding with Jourdan and some of the Stacked guys, they treated us to some great spots out in the heat.

Hey guys! I am currently in California for the next 2 months with Boyd Hilder. We are here riding the U.S. open Vans invitational Bowl contest at Huntington Beach this week! It’s gonna be a hella good time lots of sunshine and smiles. We are staying at Ryan Guettlers for the next week then going else where after that!!!

The past week I have had a hurt foot from getting my foot caught in the frame/crank doing a fakie. So I have been resting it But the physios at the vans contest are treating me and I have just started to ride again for this contest. Hope it holds up!!! Today was our first practice, I’m really liking the course !!

Here’s some pictures from my first week in Cali.

If you follow us on Instagram or on here you would know a few of us went to Canada for a week to ride some of the amazing places the guys have over there. We also hung out at the Kirkstone jam/comp which Victor actually won. Bracamonte, Nathan and Victor all have clips in this video from the day.

JK has an interview over on the BMX Union website, hit this link to check it out…

Nathan has a couple great shots in the July Focus gallery shot by Jeff Z on RIDE. Check them all here.

This was a nice surprise to see in my emails the other day…

“It’s become a bit of a tradition the last few years now for me to spend my birthday riding & film an edit from it. This year, my 41st birthday was spent doing exactly that. I wanted to ride as many varied spots as I could & make a true “freestyle” edit as such, with a bit of everything thrown in for good measure. Alex Hiam came along & we had a blast riding, even though it was the windiest day ever with gail force cyclonic winds. @hardythepuppy even makes a cameo appearance as in video’s past as well. Pretty stoked with the end result & a big thanks to Troy Charlesworth for making me look better than I really am.” – Clint Millar.

Hey guys – just got home from an epic weekend! Simon O’brien and myself were recently asked to do shows for super producer and DJ, Mark Ronson at Splendour in the Grass where he headlined. He’s won a bunch of awards for his music, but has also produced for other massive artists like Amy Winehouse, Adele and Lana Del Ray. Crazy.

This year he put together a massive show to take around the world and for one of their tracks, The Bike Song, they wanted to have Flatland in it – stoked! While rain, a wet stage and tiny, tiny area to ride in made it tough, the massive crowd were stoked which was awesome.

Huge shout out to Mark Ronson and crew for getting BMX and flatland out there and putting on a massive show!

Check out more photos on our instagrams – @shanebadman and @simonobrienofficial

Nathan gets in on a bunch of clips for the latest TCU Instagram Slam down the local spot…

We hit up a trails session before heading out for a good time at Home Ave for the afternoon. Victor tried to break my new camera and Nathan got in on a few clips.

Lately I’ve been riding a lot of indoors as the weather is horrible in Melbourne, but in between the bad weather I’ve been squeezing sessions in at the local skatepark and a few others in Melbourne. And managed to film a few Instagram videos in the process.

Once the weather gets better hopefully I’ll be filming for a new project in the streeeeetsss!
