We shot this indian super seaty in Millars backyard last week with Alex on his new bike going hard straight up. The Sweet Tooth now has a lower stand over height along with the 19.8 having a lower height again to suit the younger crew wanting to hit it on a Sweet Tooth. More information about Alex’s frame can be found here.
Chris just hit up the Play comp in Florida and shot through this update about the whole deal.
Quick trip to Florida for the Play Bmx Contest, super grateful to get an invite to this as was such an amazing contest. Finished up 7th which I was psyched on and also got to experience a bit of the day to day Florida life which all I can say is if you get the chance check it out for sure! Now at the airport back to Cali for another month before I come home!
We are getting behind the Newcastle BMX crew who are putting on a video competition for all riders from and around the Newcastle area in NSW. Check the flyer and their Facebook page for all the info.
This would have to be one of the craziest gap to rails around and I know Zac has eyed up a few things on it, Stoked to see him get this one ticked off. Props to Raine Turnbull on the photo aswell. The Backbone DVD is going to be nuts!

So I’ve been working there a bit which has taken over my weekends a but still getting out there on the pushy! I had Nick Gascoine out for a weekend, anyone that doesn’t know, he was a huge part of the content that got pumped throughout 2020 about 2 years ago, anyways it’s always good hanging out with my brother, just hittin the streets, unwaxed spots ha you know how we the nahyouritemate crew roll. Other then that the Backbone vid is getting shit happening, feels good to scare myself a little after filming for the Colony DVD, check out the Backbone ad in the next 2020 to see what’s up. While your at it check out Backbone site while you’re at it. They’ve always got the freshest Colony gear up in there! Other then that it’s just the same old Canberra. Talk to ya’s again soon .
Chris has been staying out in California for the past few months and the other day we caught up for a fun session…
Last week when we were in Portland we stopped by The Outer Rim where our good friend Paddy works and checked out the shop. THe guys were super cool, stocked a bunch of Colony gear and the place was dialed!
Our friend Shuhei from Japan has a bike check over on the Addiction BMX website which you can check out right here.
We are getting behind this years Spot Roast Jam in Florida at the Skatepark of Tampa during December so make sure you hit it up and make a trip out of it.
We would like to welcome Luke Parker to the family. Luke has been killing it over in Australia for the past couple years and is currently living over in California hitting everything he can whilst he is there. Something that stood out for me with Luke is that he rides everything, be it park, street or dirt this kid can do it and do it well. It seems as long as he is on his bike he is happy and that is enough for us to want to help him out. Be on the lookout for a welcome video very soon.
Brandon does one of the biggest tables in this video from Vital, Killin’ it brother.
Texas Toast – Street Finals – More BMX Videos
We have almost made it to San Fran on the way back to LA. The drive has been good and the last day in Oregon was dope. Hitting up a few spots in town, hanging out and just enjoying BMX.
Shane shot over an update of his travels…
“Hey guys! So I’m back in Australia now after spending the past Australian winter over in Europe riding in their summer. Good times. We flew back into Perth where we spent a few days riding with the local crew before heading out on a roadtrip around south western W.A.
I managed to do a quick photo shoot with Andras Pentek near one of the big bridges in Budapest before we left so check out one of the photos of me doing a blender. Andras is also out with me for a month in Aus, so look out for this dude!
The other cool thing to check out is a small interview I did for one of Hungary’s major BMX sites; www.livetoride.hu. You can check out my interview here which also has an English version when you scroll down.
Will be heading back across to Adelaide soon with a bunch more riding and road trips planned. The DownUnderGround BMX jam will be going down in Melbourne on Sunday, October 20 at Imax so come and say hi!

We made it to Portland yesterday and damn did we have some fun getting here riding some amazing parks and the first day here was also a treat! Thanks to all the locals we’ve hung out with, you’ve made it so much fun. Also an extra shout out to Paddy for the beds to sleep in and showing us The Lumberyard.
Mike has a dope first clip in this video from Jam Chowda. Besides the weather it looked like a real good time.
Valvo sent through this video that Rafael Bueno put together of him riding down in Belo Horizonte.
We are still heading north to Portland right now and yesterday we came up on this park in Sacramento called Granite which was seriously the most amazing park I’ve ever seen. If you have any interest in riding bowls this place would be the ultimate! 8 bowls with endless lines, chilled local riders and skaters and perfect lights. If you are ever in the area be sure to hit it up. Thanks to Cody for the help on this one.
Myself, Ryan, Tom, Jourdan and Bobbie are heading north of LA at the moment on a filming trip. So far it’s been a blast, hitting up some nice parks and spots and just sort of playing it by ear on where we are going. We will hopefully get to Portland in the next day or 2. Here are a few random shots from the trip.
We stopped by Epic BMX today in Westminster, CA and dropped off some fresh new stock of Colony product including the new Wasp hubs. The shop is dialed and the crew involved with it know what’s up! Follow them on Instagram at _epicbmx
Yesterday we had the pleasure of riding the Home Ave Ditch, for me this has been a spot I have wanted to hit for years and it didn’t let us down. Massive shout out to anyone that played apart in making that spot what it is today.
Myself, Bobbie Altiser and Tom Stretton are out in San Diego for a few days before we start the long drive to Austin. We’ve been hitting up the Ocean Beach park which is a blast and the locals are real cool so hit it up anytime you are in the area.
