For anyone in Melbourne, we are getting behind the showing of the iconic BMX movie which no doubt introduced many people into riding including myself so to see it being played at the Rooftop Cinema in Melbourne will be a treat! Head over to our Instragram to see how you could possibly score a double pass to the event.
Hey guys just a quick update… This last month has been that good, with everyone just having a couple of weeks off on holidays it has been perfect. Between getting outta Canberra and heading down the coast to this amazing spot we always end hitting up, snorkelling, camping etc. I’ve been busy with a backyard project, I’m so fortunate to have amazing house mates and the result will be having my own 4 foot ghetto bowl with wall rides and all sorts of stuff. I’m about half way there, so stay tuned for some photos. Anyways until then I’ll be busy building. Talk to ya’s soon…
JK just got back from the USA but didn’t take his bike?
“I spent the last month or so in the USA without my bike unfortunately, but I got to visit LA, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Florida and New York with my girlfriend. While in LA I got to visit the OSS store and met Adam and Alfredo, I was also lucky to meet Tyler creator from Odd Future .Next time I go to the US I’ll make sure to take my bike.”
Head over to the Vital BMX site for a complete bike check from our UK rider Ryan Winterbotham.
Everyone’s favourite Tom Stetton just sent over the latest happenings up north…
“Hey guys, just wanted to tell everyone what I have been up to. At the moment I have been at home and just riding as much as I can. It’s been hard with all the partying through the holidays but I have been having so much fun on my bike.
I recently just went into the warehouse and picked up a fresh wheel set up and what I have to say is my new favorite part EVER, the 4 piece Hardy Bars. I have been riding with them for 2 days now and I can’t get enough of them. So yeah, thanks a lot as always Clint and Colony. 4 piece forever! haha.
Been riding with a lot of different people and filming a bunch for different shit which is always fun too. So expect to see some footy In the near future guys. For now an edit of Bobbie and myself is online. Was a whole bunch of fun to film so check it out if you want.
Big shout out to Lux BMX store for always rigging my bike up dialed. Follow them on Instagram @luxbmx and follow me while you’re at it haha @tom_stretton
Polly shot through an update from the holiday season…
“Christmas was a crazy one at the bike shop last year (Sealy’s Cycles) so over that period of time I didn’t get much riding in, but with the new year that just rolled in and the good weather kicking off down in Melbourne I’ve been back on it a heap after work which has been really, really good!! Here’s a couple snaps from my after work sessions!! ……Also last year big time, big money pro rockstar bmx pro, Dave Dillewaard started following me on instagram which is one of the best things that has happened to me in my life.”
Luke Parker shot through an update from his time off work…
“Hey guys, I did plenty of riding over Christmas at the skateparks just working on a few new little things. I went back to work Monday so I’ve been getting them late night sessions in and destroying myself trying to learn grind combos on a flat rail!”
A few months ago Tom and Bobbie spent some time in the USA and during that time they came up with the idea of shooting a doubles video together. As you can see their riding styles gel well together so we knew it was going to be a treat! This was a lot of fun to shoot so hopefully that shines through in the video.

Marnold and I just got back from a quick 2 day trip up in north Victoria in searched for fresh spots. We came up on a few good things so it was worth the trip. Thanks to our buddy Tenna for the accommodation and Daniel Johnson for slinging us this first shot.
We’ve added in some new team pages so if you want to learn more about Mike Brennan, Justin Care, Luke Parker or Glen Mclaughlin our warehouse manager here in Australia then click here.
Incase you missed it, we posted the 2014 parts catalogue a few weeks back which is stacked full of some sold riding shots aswell.
Millar and Glen teamed up a few months ago to film a session in his backyard on his 39th birthday. Being 39 and still progressing is pretty damn impressive and motivational in my eyes.
Our buddy Shawn Duffield over in Canada who shoots photos and footage of Brandon for us just had a photo feature over on The Northern Embassy which has a bunch of great photos including a few of Brandon, check it out.
This pool Jourdan took us was seriously in the best location ever! As you can see from the photo’s it was a sunset chasers dream. Oh yeah the pool was amazing also.
Pottstown, Pennsylvania resident Justin Care is the newest addition to the family over in the USA. Justin has been doing good things for a few years now with his parts sponsor Merritt and we wanted to help him out with a few things aswell to keep his bike rolling nice and smooth.
I can’t wait to work with Justin on some more projects in the future so been on the lookout for things to come from this kid. His team page will be up very soon. Thanks to @ryanscottphoto for the photo.
Brand new Chris Courtenay video to start your day off! The majority of this was filmed on a trip between Sydney and North Queensland over 3 weeks along with some footage from Chris’s recent time in the USA.
Zac recently set up a fresh new bike so we spent some time with him in Canberra and shot this feature showcasing his ride.
A couple weeks ago we announced that we were helping out Perth based rider David Pineli. Well today Bret Trigg was cool enough to shoot over this video he made of David for Enough Threads. David kills it with some crazy dipped 3 style and a deep bag of tricks.
Yesterday afternoon in Melbourne we helped put on a jam at the Hill n Dale box jumps. It was a great turnout and the weather was pretty perfect. Seeing so many crew come out and have a good time together was a treat. Thanks to everyone that came out along with Riding Way and Input BMX for doing their bit.
Here are a few photos from the day.
