We’ve also got a desktop download for you guys of this awesome shot Jack Birtles took, you can download it here.

Pinelli and I have been trying to get together many times over the past couple months whilst he has been living in Melbourne but the weather and our schedules weren’t on our sides much. However the past couple weeks we’ve had some luck and got started on filming his next video. Here are a couple shots from the days out.

We put this video together to give you guys an overview of the 2015 Colony Premise which is currently available worldwide from all Colony stockists.

Hey guys !

I have good news!! If you missed it online,I am stoked to announce I am now riding for Fox Australia. Fox flew me to Melbourne and took me around the whole HQ of fox. I got to meet the whole crew at fox and they all seem super cool. I even caught up with Matt Holmes during the HQ tour ! After meeting everyone at Fox, Mick Sinclair took me to Hosier Lane for a photo shoot the new Summer range catalogue.

My Wrist feels better everyday. I have been smashing my physio everyday, It kills me ,but no pain no gain! Haha . It’s starting to get real hot in Brisbane so I have been swimming a bunch and playing around with my camera & photography again. It’s been good having more activities to do as my wrist gets better. I can finally use my camera again because I got a new Macbook pro. My last one was stolen last month!

Cooper Brownlee put a Gallery up of Myself over the past 8 years. It’s crazy it all feels just like yesterday! Thanks Cooper for capturing all the good times over the years. Check it here.

Our boy Chris Bracamonte put together this video from his trip to Texas Toast, I think his description is better than anything I could write so… “10 passionate BMX riders and two dogs travel in an RV for two weeks from Oakhurst, Ca to Austin, Tx and making pitstops along the way including Santa Cruz, Lake Havasu, Albuquerque and the Grand Cyn.”

And Chris’s video that we dropped a couple weeks back incase you missed that…

Nathan Sykes roasts it hard along with his good friend Matt Cordova in this video for there clothing sponsor 100%. Bowl dogging’ at its finest…

So stoked to have this video done of Justin, we filmed most of it on 2 trips around the USA with him along with some some town goods to finish it all off. Thanks to Ryan Scott, Ryan Landman and Jeremie Infelise for helping film.

A few shots of Jack and Dean from the recent Flem Banks jam. Thanks to James Patterson for the images.

With all our complete bikes now available around the world we wanted to get a catalogue up online for everyone to check out. It’s also stacked with riding shots from some of the team throughout…

Dean featured in this photo gallery over on the Focalpoint website from the recent Adelaide trails jam, check out the article here.

Our good friend and the guy to see when it comes to our product in the USA, Keith Treanor has an interview up on the FL-BMX website which is also stacked with some good shots of the main man still killing it at the age of 43. It’s people like Keith that keep my motivation strong for BMX.

Get down to Melbourne on the 29th of November for the Down underground series final that is happening at Imax. We are supporting the event and you can read more about there event here.

Hey guys just a little update to say what I’m up to. To be honest things just haven’t been going my way lately. With my dog passing and my ankle still not going it’s a struggle to keep finding motivation. However I’m still positive. I have no idea when I’ll be back on my bike as my ligaments are pretty much toast but I’m riding my Fixie and constantly trying to build the muscle up, so hopefully real soon.

On a good not I’m pretty sure my edit comes out super soon. We have finished all of it, edited and everything, and I think it will drop in the coming weeks. There’s also a little photo treat that will be for download thanks to the insanely talented Jack Birtles and his camera skills. Super pumped on the photo.

Anyway that’s it from me. Keep riding for me because I can’t at the moment hahaha.

Peace!

Right, so june this year I got back from an absolutely insane 10 week trip to California, first off meeting some of the boys for the first time was a good time. Had an absolute blast, met a bunch of really good people and rode my bike a hell of a lot. I owe a big thank you to all of those people that helped me out with a place to stay, driving me about and taking me to some really good places. Unfortunately 2 days before I flew home I flew over the bars on the trails at Woodward West and broke my collar bone, hit my head pretty hard and ended up concussed worse than I’ve ever been before and had a huge hematoma on my hip. Again a huge thanks to the medical staff at Woodward, an even bigger thanks to Danny Josa and Robert Barranco for being there for me, getting me to hospital and then back down to LAX and sorting all my luggage out as I was pretty damn dazed still at that point.

Spent some time chilling when I got back, went to Boardmasters festival in Newquay that has a mini ramp contest at every year, always a bit of fun and had a blast seeing the homies riding and partying.

Since then I have ended up getting back into work, riding around the times I’m not at work having fun and enjoying the last of the British Summer, which always comes to an end way too soon. Through out the next month I will be filming a ten clips at some point, after that I’m going to start working on a full Colony video.

We put this video together to give you guys an overview of the 2015 Colony Endeavour which is currently available worldwide from all Colony stockists. You can get more information right here.

Thanks to B0NNAZ for the beats.

Polly has been running this Prody set-up for a while now and I finally got a chance to shoot some photos of it. Stacked with our product including the Hardy 4 piece bars, our prototype gyro and Guardian Forks with mounts.

In june I moved to Melbourne and I have been loving being able to ride my bike heaps! But I recently went back to Perth for a month to do shows and some coaching.. Everyday for one week at the Perth Royal Show is always a good time, hanging out with mates and riding bikes. Then some skatepark coaching and more demos with Freestyle Now.

Just thought I would share a few rad shots from the trip! Back in Melbourne now and I cant wait to start filming with Cooper within the next week or so!

Hey guys, not a whole lot has been happening in Nz lately as weather keeps changing its mind every other minute. Been getting out as much as I can but had bike stolen about a month ago on one of the first roadie for our summer. Been borrowing a bike to try get out but have just had my new one land. So stoked on how the bikes feeling and looking only after a couple of rides.

Going to be doing some demos this coming weekend in Auckland at big boys toys which should be a bit of fun.

Hey guys,

Hope all is well! Here’s a couple photos from a little road trip to the Kootenays. We luckily got a day of riding in since the weather in B.C is getting bad so I’m pumped about that. Epic drive and fun little parks!

Turndown was shot by Amos Franke.

Sup y’all. So I’ve been bit busy lately with my ramp in the backyard, trying to fine tune it with some fresh ply. This things going to be tight, should be sick but! Took some time away to get up the Halloween jam in Sydney, was sick to see the Sydney crew still hold it down for a sick jam. Was cool see some old faces and some new dudes kill it! Managed to sneak a pic of Coops lay out a sick pancake from the jam…

Chris has been riding for Colony for just over a year now so I am stoked to finally get his welcome video all done and out for your viewing pleasure. Chris to me is a silent shredder, he just cruses on through life quietly killing it on a bike and also behind the lens, Thanks to the guys that helped out filming some of the clips when I wasn’t in town…

Jourdan Barba just set-up a fresh new bike which includes his signature Menace guard sprocket and the fresh Leopard print Contour rims.

A few real nice shots of Nathan shot by Matt Cordova who recently got a fresh new camera set-up. Cranked turndown!

Myself, Polly and Dean drove over to Adelaide for a few days to film and hit up the trails jam. The day was real fun and great to see so many good people, quick shot of Dean from the trails. Shoutout to LBB and all the crew that made the day work and dig at the trails.

Over in Hungary, Attila Godi just set up a real fresh looking Burna frame. You can see the full bike check right here. Such a nice looking bike.

Nathan just got back from a 5 day trip doing shows in Mexico and Indiana, no doubt it was a crazy time. Here are a few photos Nathan sent through…

Yo Guys !

As you guys may know I am currently off the bike injured recovering from wrist surgery. It’s getting close now to The new year when I can ride again, Im starting to count the days down! I can finally take my wrist splint off now and have been doing a bunch of exercises every hour to get the range of motion back in my wrist. I start strengthening next week when I get a little more movement happening , then I can start Physio after that!

I have been going to the gym everyday and skating here & there. It’s good to get out in the sun and to hang out at the skatepark again. Just keeping it chill on the skateboard just because I do not want to fall on my wrist again. Thanks to Primary Threads for the board they sent me.

It’s getting super hot in Brisbane lately and it’s not even summer yet. But I’m loving the heat!

Big tricks… That’s the best way to describe Andre‘s riding and this video. Some really wild moves throughout this, loved the flair transfer. Thanks to Subvertmedia for the video.
