The sun was out so we hit a few parks in the heat before heading down to Mandurah to check out the comp setup for today, if you’re in the area make sure you get down today for the event. Dean tuck at Claremont park just out of Perth city…

We had some heat then some rain over the past 2 days. We hit some good parks then a classic pool that you may recognise from the Colony DVD. A bunch of crew were already there which made for a good time. Unfortunately it looks like Alex has broken his hand from landing a bit wrong on a flair barspin. Yesterday it rained all day which stopped us from rolling but the weather looks good today so bring it on!

Jourdan and his crew put together this video with footage from good looking spots, pools and trails.

Myself, Clint, Alex, Tom and Dean are over in Perth for the week filming and heading to the Mandurah comp on the weekend. Today was a fun start to the trip hitting up a few parks and hanging out with local crew. Few random shots from the day, follow us on Instagram for some solid updates during the day/nights @colonybmxbrand

Liam recently got back from the USA and the Young and Retarded trip that he went on put together by The Come Up. Here is the trailer for the video that will be dropping soon, can’t wait!

Alli Sports put together a video bike check with Chris Courtenay where he runs through all of his parts along with some solid mini ramp riding.

Jourdan recently took a trip with a bunch of crew…

“I just got back from a Reno trip filming with the ODI crew for the new Black Book DVD coming out soon! It was a rad time, we spent a week driving from Riverside to Reno hitting all the city’s in between… Fresno,Sacramento and Woodward Tahoe I took a few big falls but made it back in one piece and was stoked on the clips I did get!”

Backbone Bmx have organised to get the ACT jam’s back on! We are behind it 100% as we know it will be an awesome long weekend!

Be sure to come out and hit it up on Sunday if you’re in Melbourne.

The Come Up, loaded Liam‘s Colony video from last year when he was in the USA (where he is right now as well) Seems like a good time for another watch.

Brandon Van Dulken‘s buddy filmed this chilled day at the park with him. Damn I love Brandon’s style.

We’ve gotten behind another Melbourne City Park comp, with some good prize money up for grabs it should be a crazy day. Be sure to come out and hit it up.

Jourdan has a few clips in this quick edit from a recent street jam in Santa Ana.

Oh man I am really really excited to drop this! Alex put in some serious work in between injuries over the past 6 months to produce some really amazing moves. We hope you enjoy this and you can learn more about Alex’s signature frame here. Make sure you click on the HD quality aswell!

Liam Zingbergs has a section in an upcoming DVD coming out of Adelaide from our friend Doug Underhill. Can’t wait to see the finished product when it drops.

Mick recently setup a new rig and sent through a few photos of it at his favourite spot in the world no doubt…

We just got Ryan Winterbotham‘s team page up with some great photo’s shot by Ben Mark, you can have a look here.

New Zealand flow rider Liam Marshall sent us through an update from the past couple of months…

So I started the year off with a nice chill down in Queenstown with a couple of good mates. We went and stayed at the Redbull house, cheers to Jaden Leeming and the guys at redbull NZ for hooking us up, we tripped around a little bit and went around to Wanaka one day to film some clips and just see what the South Island had to offer. Couple of days later we meet up with photographer Miles Holden and went to this small little town of Glenorchy which had some great views and had a sweet little chill park, there was a sweet quarter to session so we caught a few shots on that.
We made a little chill edit of our times down there, which you can watch here.

I’ve also been doing a couple of demos on a box jump lately around Auckland city just for Auckland council which has been good fun…

Our man from France Bruno Faucon has some good clips in this edit filmed at a real fun looking plaza park.

Alex and myself spent the past couple of days driving to Brisbane from Melbourne. Unfortunately we had no luck with the weather once we left Canberra but had fun none the less! Here are a few random shots from the drive up. Hit us on Instagram to see more random happenings. @colonybmxbrand

We spent the day filming this with Dean at his local park of Warragul. He put in some serious work for the clips in the heat but it paid off, enjoy…

We freshened up the splash page of the website with this dope photo of Brandon going large with a bucket load of style. Love, love! Brandon’s riding. Thanks to Shawn Duffield for the photo.

Well this is pretty damn cool! Guettler makes an appearance in there aswell. Via Vans.

It’s the weekend here in Australia and not that far off for the rest of the world so here’s some viewing pleasure before you head out for a roll.

Spotted this photo of Tom via Afray. It’s the cover for their current summer range of clothing lookbook (which is looking the goods). Can’t wait to see the clip of that curved un-luce.

Mick has been stacking clips for various projects lately, he is well known for his burly rail skills but can also jib with the best of them so there is some moves in this you may not expect from Teddy but I think it shows how diverse his riding is becoming . This footage is from all around Australia and Vancouver Canada. Thanks to Kym Grosser and Sam Lowe for the additional footage.

The ever so popular mid range complete bike, the Premise is in it’s first year of being out there but already has made an impact. The perfect bike for someone getting into riding but wants something quality enough to kit out as you progress.
