I was going through some older photos the other night and came across this sequence of Marnold from our Barcelona trip in 2010. If only my bike didn’t get confiscated on the 2nd day.

We’ve started uploading the sections from our 2011 DVD which Stu Munro put together, here is Mick’s section which you should already know is killer!

Shane has been a busy man of late…

Hey guys, It’s been a busy start of the year for me starting out in January doing some demos in Sydney with Simon O’Brien that were a lot of fun. In February and after a bunch of years living in Brisbane, I recently moved down to Gippsland in country Victoria for a bit of a change. Being only a couple hours from Melbourne I’ve been making the treks in to ride on weekends and trying to spend as much time as possible as I can riding before winter gets here.

I have also been doing a bunch of roadtrips to Adelaide and catching up with the local crew there. If you’re ever in Adelaide you gotta stop by my good mate Matt Hodgeson’s shop, Little Black Bike in the city. He stocks a full range of Colony gear and has been in the BMX game a very long time so knows his stuff. Don’t forget to hit me up on Instagram @shanebadman

Whilst I was in Brisbane recently I shot a few photos of Tom‘s current ride.

Our good friend Valvo just sent through this nice shot that Renan Souza took. With the bad weather in Brazil right now Valvo missioned it a few hours to ride this indoor park to keep himself active. if you haven’t seen the exclusive Brazil seat we did check here.

Stu Munro recently visited Sydney to film with Simon…

My life is about to start another chapter which may result in less riding so the other day I invited Stu Munro down to my place to do some filming for an ESPN edit. I’m real happy with what we filmed in the three days so I’m looking forward to the edit.

BMX20 posted this video of Valvo and his friends going through a day in the life at their trails. Th setup they have with the park right next to it is pretty amazing…

Bobbie shot through an update of the latest with him over in Missouri…

Hello world. I’ve gotten pretty into road cycling over the last couple of months. Averaging around a 100 miles a week, or about 160 km depending on where you’re reading this from. Nothing too crazy.. Spring is here, my local park opened up for the season and I’ve also been working on kind of a secret ramp set up in the back of the shop that I work at. For the most part I am building everything out of wood from old skateparks, construction sites, houses.. pretty much anything I can get my hands on. Trying to save a bit of money! Ha ha. Slowly coming along though. Anyway, that’s what I’ve been up to!

Alli Sports just dropped this Day in the life with Alex which they filmed a few weeks ago. Alex and his friends hit up some rock pools along with a session at Pizzy park and the GC.

Zac just shot through an update from the recent jams that went down on the long weekend up in Canberra…

“Act jam went down on the weekend. So good to have something like this happen in Australia let alone my home town. The jams set up so you ride a different skatepark over 3 days, Weston, Belco and Tuggers. so much crazy shit went down. There was a fair turnout over the long weekend, not that many outta towners really which was a let down. Peta was there which was awesome, good to have a beverage with her. Josh Epplestun took out the under 16 champion, he was shredding all weekend. Will Gunn took out the ACT jam champion, he absolutely killed it at every park with local lines and going massive everywhere. Thanks to the guys at Backbone for putting it all together, so stoked act jams back on again, can’t wait till next year.”

This was filmed over the past 6 months or so, basically whenever I could get to Canberra Zac and I would hook up and film. I really do enjoy riding and filming with Zac, he always has new crazy setups lined up to film at and most of the time it works out. We both worked hard to get this exactly how we wanted it so I hope you guys enjoy it and be on the look out for more Zac in the coming months.

More info about Zac’s signature frame can be found here.

Get down to Chelsea in Melbourne this Saturday for the next round of the SEL comp series!

Brandon Van Dulken and Owen Dawson took advantage of the nice weather Vancouver recently provided and dropped this mix edit.

Damn I wish I could make this, if you own a bike, get to it!

Bruno Faucon has a really good interview in the new ART online mag over in France. It’s all in French but even if you can’t read it, the photos throughout the mag are well worth checking out.

Peta is off to the ACT jam this weekend so be sure to say hi to her if you get the chance whilst out hitting up the jams happening all weekend. Thanks to Angela for the photo.

Dean filmed this video with Tom Brown (who also edited it) over the past 6 months and it really shows Deans progression. Kid is killing it right now!

Marnold just sent through this update from his Brisbane trip, thanks to Stu Munro for the photos.

Yoo guys, on the weekend I went up to Brissy to film with stu for his dvd. I had a blast, rode some amazing spots and the crew I rode with were awesome, way to many laughs and shit talking! It was hella hot up there like 30 both days and so muggy that when you were just sitting down you were sweating, but other then that it was good to get out of Melbourne and ride. Thanks to Stewie, Raph, Bongsey, Anton and Tiny for a good weekend!

Tom Stretton gives you a very good insight into learning footjam tooth stalls, have a watch then get out there and learn them.

Miner shot through another update…

So in the last week or so I’ve been hitting a few places just out of canberra. I went to Goulburn for a roll, the place is huge but the ramps are weird which makes for an interesting ride. Also went out to Bungendore which is only half hour outta canberra but its got a sick little bowl and the kids there were loving the chance to get some free stickers! Also big news in Canberra. Act jam is back and it’s gunna be sick. Over the long weekend there will be jams at 3 iconic skateparks finishing up with a BBQ at Backbone. Gunna be an epic weekend, everyone should come!!

Zingbergs has a dope photo within TCU trip photo gallery, all shots by Devin Feil so you know they are the goods, check it.

Alex has a top fives over on the Focalpoint site for everyone to read, check it out here.

I spotted this online and was immediately psyched on it! Custom artwork on frames is something I am really into so I’ve hit up Jourdan for some more photos but for now you get to see a sneak peek with this shot.

Ryan just got back from Woodward West trip where he learnt some new moves and had a blast, there is a comp on up there this weekend which Ryan will be at as well. You can see in the photos he is trying out the new Protec full face helmet so we will see how he goes with some more testing. Ryan has also been invited to a Redbull comp in Mexico called Red Bull Dirt Conquers! So be on the lookout for that very soon.

The latest 10 clips video with our newest team rider, Jack Kelly. Filmed at Chadstone park in Melbourne.

Zac shot through an update…

It’s been a crazy couple of months of late, I moved into a new house with a couple of locals around my area, I went down to Melb’s for a weekend a while back which was good to hang out with the crew down there, watching Marnold trying an ice down a sketchy rail was crazy! I’ve also been up to Sydney a couple of times. Went to bowlarama in Bondi to watch my cousin skate, pretty much rained out the whole weekend which sucked but got to party with my mum and aunty at the after party which was hilarious! Along side of working an 8 to 5 I’ve picked up a job at Smoque which is a Texas smoked bbq restaurant, the food is off the chain, if your ever in canberra you’ve gotta give it a crack.

Yo guys!

I’ve been riding a bunch lately trying to get up on some clips to finish off my latest edit! I didn’t end up making it over to simple session but I’m heading to Fise at the start of May which should be a heap of fun! To keep up with where I’m at or just say whatup follow me @chriscourtenay on Instagram

As with every year we are getting behind the SEL series happening in Melbourne. Get down to Warragul this Saturday for the first round.

Over in Adelaide in the coming weeks is a competition at the Elizabeth park which also happens to be where Mick Bayzand is from. We are getting behind it so be sure to hit it up if you are in South Australia.
