Another section from the 2011 DVD we dropped… Clint Millar and Pete Radivo’s section. Plenty of technical mini ramp riding in this along with Millar sending it down some legit rails.
Clint was apart of a recent interview over on the RideBMX website talking about altercations with the law whilst out riding, have a read here.
Stas Shatilo recently featured in a Kia Motors commercial over in Russia, here is what he had to say about it…
“Recently I took part in the filming of a new model of KIA cars commercial. The shooting lasted for 2 days. They built a quarter for me, and I was doing different tricks, but they chose only one, my favourite trick. I saw the commercial on TV very unexpectedly when I was sitting with my friends and having good time, I just said: “Hey, guys, here am I!”
Latest advert of Zac Miner in the latest issue of Focalpoint. gap to pegs to gap past the sketchy rocks at the end of the rail.
Thanks so much to Shawn Duffield for filming/editing this 10 clips of Brandon smashing out a 10 clips at Railside Park, Canada in style.
It’s riding like this that has earned Brandon his own signature colour way of the 2013 Teddy frame. You can check it out here now.
Our Guardian Forks have been out for a few years now and remain one of the most popular and lightest forks available. You can get them in a boat load of colours, something to suit all riders get all the info you need when it comes to weight and specs right here!
We are so stoked on Brandon that we teamed up with our Canadian Distro KEA and dropped these gun metal grey Teddy frames. There is only 10 of these available over there so be sure to hit up your local store or the guys at KEA to snap one up!
All limited frames come with a Colony tee and sticker packs as a extra bonus.
As you most likely know by now Chris was recently in France at the Fise contest, here is a quick run down from Chris about it all…
“What a week it’s been, I’m sitting at the local pizza shop as I write this. I’ve been out here in Montpellier, France for the Fise contest. Such a good vibe and easily the best contests I’ve been to by far. If anyone gets the chance to come I suggest you do. You won’t regret it! Finished up 12th in miniramp and 8th in park, super stoked on how I rode but it’s time for this mission of a flight home now! Peaceeeee.”
So a couple months ago we dropped the Alex Hiam video which has copped a whopping 129,000 views. As we said back then we spent a lot of time filming for this project partly because of Alex and myself living at opposite ends of the country and also a few injuries thrown in the mix.
As with most web videos that come out there is always some random clips left over, crashes and even a few riding ones so we wanted to put all that together for a little behind the scenes look into the filming of this particular web video. We will be dropping a few of thes ebehind the scenes videos in the coming weeks so I hope you enjoy them.
Mick turns 30 today, I’ve been fortunate enough to know and ride with Mick for a good 10 years now and I look forward to many more. Mick has put in alot of work on the bike over the years so I am sure his body feels alot more like 50. Enjoy the day mate.
We are stoked to be able to hook Valvo up with a signature colourway of the 2013 Teddy frame. There is only 10 of these available, most of which are over in Brazil via Dream Bmx so get in quick before they are sell out! There are a couple of these frames available in Australia as well, so act fast if you want a unique colour way Teddy frame.
I am really damn stoked on how this came out, Jack went in hard for this over the course of 5-6 months and came through with the goods. Follow him on Instagram @killjack
All the way from Singapore our friend Danny Heng sent through some shots of him out on the bike. Always good to see crew from all parts of the globe shredding the parts.
Attila who rides for us over in Hungry just sent through this quick Go-Pro test edit of himself riding a local park. Attila is off on a trip very soon to film so look out for more from him very soon.
Jourdan recently hit up a jam at the Sierra Bicycle Works shop he scores a couple clips along with a bunch of other crew.
Mick came thorugh with some great clips in this GoPro edit he worked on with Kym Grosser recently, good stuff! Follow Micky on Instagram @mick_bayzand1

Long time Colony team rider and friend Paddy Gross runs a shop in Portland called The Outer Rim and is going in hard with supporting us over there.
