As you will see in this video, Ryan took a few harsh crashes whilst filming this power hour for Vital but he got it done and did well. Ryan puts in alot or work down at Sheep Hills these days so it was fitting to shoot it there. Thanks again to Ryan Galvan for banging this out.

…Dean Anderson, this kid has been killing it for a while now down in Victoria. If you’ve ever been to The Shed or watched the web video below you know Dean is good on his bike but he is also a down to earth good kid so we are stoked to have him apart of the team repping Colony for us down south. Be on the look out for more from Dean soon but for now check his new setup and the web video he dropped a few months back.

It’s amazing the things you will talk about when you are stuck in traffic for what seems like forever but there was light at the end of the tunnel, literally! As we got to experience the famous Baldy full pipe which was amazing, the adventure getting there and having to find a new plank to be able to get over to ride it was probably more fun then riding it itself. As you can tell from this photo good times were had.
Thanks to the guys at Epic Bmx we had a ball at the jam at Liberty park yesterday. Thanks to everyone that came out.
Brock is with out a doubt a ledge destroyer, here is a web video for his clothing hookup Dishonour. As you would expect from Brock there are some solid moves in this, it’s hard to tell what side is his natural grind side.

Zac just recently took a trip to Melbourne, here is a bit of an update from it all…
“So the Blazeguard prem was on the weekend in Melbs. aswell as my 25th birthday so Amber and I venture down and stayed with Thomas and Elle. It was a cracker of a weekend with the Blazeguard prem held at Revolver it was a fair turn out and as much as it was a short video, the whole production was amazing! The rest of the night was filled with being intoxicated.
I Spent most of Saturday hung over but managed to hit a ghetto rail across the road from Fordyces, two kids were just roaming by and wanted to jump in on the photo.
The old gang from Deniliquin treated me to a great night around North Melbourne for my birthday, it was a great weekend all in all.. I was so happy to get out of Canberra to be honest! In other news though. Backbone has started filming for their first full length DVD… Look out for that in about a years time, gunna be epic. Anyways speak to ya later.”

We had a pretty whirlwind adventure to Woodward with 2 of the RV tyres blowing out leaving Ryan to sleep in it over night until he could get it fixed whilst the rest of us squeezed together in the 2 other cars and got settled in at Woodward. Ryan got all sorted this morning and had a real solid ride with us this afternoon evening.
Everyone at Woodward has been real cool and I am looking forward to the days ahead.
Another day another good park to ride. We are off to Woodward today for 6 days which should be a fun time! If anyone is heading out there make sure you come up and hang out.
Valvo recently went on a bit of a trip and he sent through this update from it…

The day before I went to the Kamaka trails, probably the best trails I’ve been to in Brazil. I just want say thanks for all local’s put some hard work there.”

Another beautiful day in LA, after watching Ryan destroying the trails and himself we spent 2 hours in heavy traffic heading back out to Riverside to ride with Jourdan at another really fun park, Peta was riding really well along with the others. Long days and nights here. Alex and Chris arrive tomorrow which will be cool.
We spent the day riding Jourdan‘s local park of Riverside then riding a few schools and spots around the area. Tom tried something ridiculous at this spot but wasn’t able to get it, hopefully we get back there.
After long flights we were all pretty jet lagged so we copped a couple hours sleep and then headed out to Ben Snowdens place to check it out. After watching the locals kill it we hit up a few local spots and onto the Vans park. It was a fun first day and we are about to head out to Jourdans area to meet up and hit some spots.

Gorak has been in the BMX industry forever and a year or so ago he opened up his own shop out in Bentleigh, Victoria called Riding Way. They have plenty of Colony goodness so if you are from out that way support your local and check them out.
Shot during the filming of the DVD. Uprail to bars by Mr Bayzand.
Get yourself along to Prahran Skatepark in Melbourne today at around lunch time to hang out with Mick & get yourself a copy of The Colony DVD for free as well. He will be there from lunch time to have a roll around. Of course if it’s bad weather Mick wont be there.
