Just spotted this awesome photo of Ryan from the Van Doran Invitational over on Ride Bmx, so good!

From all reports Alex rode really well at the Vans US Open. Here are a few photos I grabbed from his Instagram that @brandonmeans shot.

Mick has some real solid footage in this mix with a bunch of the team guys from Strictly Bmx which is just located around the corner from this park, really enjoyed this.

Last week in Melbourne at Rampfest saw the Fox Pro comp go down where a lot of heavy hitters were in appearance. Both Chris and Dean were in the mix and killed it! This video has footage of both the guys going in hard.

We just loaded up this flipbook showing all the specs for the new 2014 complete bikes that landed in Australia a couple weeks ago. We also got a few riding shots from some of the team guys in there to finish it all off.

There is another shipment of these 2014 bikes arriving in Australia next week, so check with your favourite Colony dealer now. The rest of the world will have these bikes arrive around late September / early October depending where you are on the planet. The USA will have them in late September.

Alex has been a busy man over in the USA. He just shot through this update…

Hey Guys !!!

Just got back from “Tabes for the Babes” Tour to Tuscon, Arizona With a bunch of rad dudes. We broke down on the first night of the tour because the brakes failed, So we had to stay in a small town can san tee for two nights until the brakes were fixed on the RV… We were super lucky to find a nice enough mechanics to lend us a car for those two days for us to get around town.. After the brakes were fixed we were back on the road and made it safely to Arizona..

It was over 40+ Degree heat in Tucson and we were riding concrete parks all day everyday, It was exsaugthing but so fun.. Ian took us to shoot all his guns one day as-well which was so much fun !!!

The last day I rode Recon Tour At premise park, And ended up Placing 2nd in Open.. The comp was soo crazy there were over 30 riders in Open And everyone was riding so good !!! Finals was getting so intense and every one was throwing down bangers…

I Had the best time ever !!! Massive thanks to Ryan Guettler for taking all of us on this tour and a massive thanks to Premise Park and Ian !!!!

Also I shot a bunch of photos with the photographer from RIDEbmx and he is doing a 8 page story about the trip and the web video will be out soon!! I also just got invited to ride the Vans US open HB invitational comp on the 27th of this month!! Sooo happy and stoked.

So out of nowhere I got an email from Bobbie telling me he had filmed a ten clips. The next day I have a file ready for download and I just knew there would be some treats in it. Bobbie didn’t disappoint and continues his ever progressing and creative riding. Thanks to Dylan Crane for filming this.

Tom scores the latest print advert in the current Albion mag. I love this shot because it was taking Tom a few shots to get this clip and the one time he gets it was when all the school kids came along and stopped to watch, they were so interested in it.

We are off to Woodward West again for the video shootout. We will be there week 10 from the 4th to the 10th of August. If you are hitting it up that week make sure to come say hi to all the guys and grab some stickers off of us. Below is our video from last year which was an amazing week!

So pretty much as soon as Stu finished the 2011 Colony DVD he put everything he had into filming the Coppin’ it Sweet DVD which is now very close to being finished. Here is the trailer for the DVD which definitely has a good vibe to it and both Clint and Marnold have full sections so keep an eye out for it.

Over the past few months some solid video’s have dropped from some of the crew with more to follow, here are a couple to start your day off right.

Well for me this trip has been a solid 4 weeks of filming and driving and although the past week has been from home it has still felt like a trip. In the very early hours of tomorrow morning both Brandon and Jourdan will be heading back home overseas and Tom headed back to Brisbane this evening. It’s been a blast and we got some really solid footage. Here are a couple photos from just before of the guys packing up and chilling watching all the footage from the past weeks.

Today is a year to the day that this ten clips was filmed with boss man Millar, how time flies when you’re having fun. A new one is being filmed today as well, so keep an eye out for that. #frontbrakes

Marnold is a boss and went in hard for this web video. Enjoy the video then check out his signature Talon bars here.

The sun was out again in Melbourne so I took the guys down to the iconic St Kilda banks on the beach which was pretty damn good then onto the city for a roll well into the evening. Good times indeed.

Whilst Alex is out in California staying with Ryan the guys at TCU hung out for a day and filmed a bunch of clips of the guys hitting up a few parks and Ben Snowden’s backyard.

In Melbourne now with Tom, Jourdan and Brandon staying at my place, we headed out this afternoon to hit a few spots, film some clips, Brandon hit his head then Tom filmed some amazing stuff. Solid day indeed. Let’s do it again tomorrow!

Shane sent through an update on what’s been happening with him, always something cool going on…

Hey peeps! I’m over in Perth right now for a few days before I head out to Europe and Hungary where I’ll be living for the next few months. Bike packed and everything is sorted, can’t wait to get over there! Before I left I did a small piece for a magazine that goes around regional Victoria called “The Milk Mag” in the current issue, 19. Pretty stoked on it and the article talks about interesting jobs so being in BMX is definitely something worth a read that everyone needs to know about! You can pick it up in most newsagents I’m told so check it out. Don’t forget to hit me up on Instagram @shanebadman

Zac Miner has a few really good clips in this mixed section from JT’s Blazeguard DVD that came out a little while ago now.

We spent the day filming and riding at Woden park in Canberra, we planned to only be there for a warm up before hitting some spots but one clip led to another and before we knew it, it was freezing cold and the sun was going down. Everyone seemed to have fun though and we got some solid clips which I am stoked on!

We spent the good part of the day hanging out at Backbone BMX riding the flat rails and checking out the shop. As always Backbone hosted a great day. We then hit up a session at the iconic Erindale Banks where I snapped this shot of Zac just as the cold was really setting in.

A couple good days spent in Sydney were just had with real good weather, clips filmed and too much dice played. Here are a couple photo’s of Chris at a packed Bondi park.

We put together a video to show everyone the highlights of the 2014 Colony Endeavour along with some riding from a few of the team guys. These bikes are available now in Australia with the rest of the world getting them in September.

The sun was out in Sydney so we hit up Five Dock park and then onto a few spots throughout the day which was real productive. We have another day in Sydney before we head down to Canberra!

We spent the day driving from Newcastle after hitting up the Wallsend park then got settled in Sydney and searched a few schools with some good results. That evening a couple of us hit up the city for a roll and Tom got an awesome clip after a couple hours of putting in work for it!

We spent the day/evening driving from Brisbane to Newcastle which is about 800km’s, it rained almost the entire time which made it worse to drive in. Fortunately we did get a little window of dry weather as we went through Nambucca Heads so we hit up the park to break the drive.

I am out here in California with Ryan, Chris and Alex before we head off for Woodward West next week. Today we hit up the M

arkit crew’s backyard setup and had a blast of a time. Thanks to the Enarson family for the hookup.

Stoked to hear Alex just won the San Jose stop of the Recon tour. It was his first day back after a couple weeks off riding because of a dislocated thumb.

We had a pretty chilled day after the long drive the night before so a few of the guys hit up the backyard for a session and then in the evening it was onto RideOn which was a blast seeing everyone out.

Valvo travelled a few hours from Sao Paulo in Brazil to ride the Cosmo trails jam. He let us know it was a real solid day riding for 8 hours straight which is always a good sign of a good day out on the bike.
