Jourdan recently got back from a quick trip to Vegas to film some more clips for his up and coming The Hunt section. Jourdan has definitely been busy of late scoring a job with his dad as an apprentice electrician and working on his first Colony web video so I am excited to get to work on that edit in the coming weeks. Thanks to Ryan Galvan for the photos. You can keep up to date with all Jourdan’s happenings via his twitter here.
A few weeks back myself, Liam, Marnold and Brock headed over to China for the Asian X-Games. If you were following via the site you would know we had some crazy issues with missing bikes and Brock getting hurt but all in all it was a fun trip and this is the video we made from the days we spent riding after the comp was done. Thanks again to the locals for helping us out and make sure you grab the next 2020 mag that comes out for a full article about the trip.
Over the past couple of weeks Pete and I have been working on filming a web video but I swear Pete has the worst luck in the world. Besides all the knee issues he has had over the years, last week at work he blew out his back and could barely move. It seems he has a bulging disc issue and can’t do much about it but rest. Get well soon my man and from what we have filmed so far it will be worth the extra wait. Below is a screengrab from one of the wildest moves we’ve filmed so far…

Over the past few weeks Peta has been filming with her friend Tristan Montagu and they sent thought this web video from all the footage together, really stoked on the level Peta is riding at right now.
We jumped on the bandwagon a couple weeks ago and setup a Colony Instagram for all the team to post on. Make sure you follow us @colonybmxbrand
Valvo just sent through an update, he seems to travel more then anyone I know…
“This month was so busy, I was a judge at the Old School and Flow Bmx Contest then I went on a big trip to do some Dirt Demos, it was sick! 20 thousand people at the event it was really crazy.
I arrived home a week ago but I’m waiting for weather to get better, so I can get back to filming my edit.
Next week I going to a little trip with ESPN Brazil to One New Bike Shop, it will be a big Jam session at the new ramps over there, it will be fun.”
Our latest advert in The Albion featuring Ryan Guettler and our 2012 complete bikes. The Albion has a new website so make sure you take the time to check it out as it’s really good!
Make sure to get down to the Albany Creek event tomorrow as I am sure it will be fun times.
Peta sent in a quick update of what she has been up to…
Alot of filming is going down right now all across Australia for up and coming projects, here are few photos courtesy of Stu Munro from up in Brisbane. Also a look at Brocks stitch job on his leg.
Another shop in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne…BMX MAD have plenty of Colony completes and parts in stock, check them out then head down the road 5 minutes and ride the pretty much herritage listed Knox Bowl.
it’s been a year since Jayden unfortunately broke his neck in a car accident but the local crew have got together and put together another jam for him which we are supporting. From what I hear Jayden is doing well considering.
Brandon put in some work at the Queensborough Skatepark, New West in Canada. Some dialed lines for sure!
Filmed and edited by Shawn Duffield.

Attila put together this web video at his local park, he does some creative lines in this that got me stoked! The park looks pretty fun aswell. Make sure you check it out.

More Bruno, although off the bike at the moment, he has some good clips in this edit for MA Clothing. The spots in this look really fun to hit.
Our friend Istvan over in France is hitting up both the FISE and Street Station contests later this month, good luck with it all man. Istvan just put together a new Miner frame so check back for some photos of his new ride.
Bruno is still dealing with his hand surgery, one more month to go and he should be back on the bike. You guys may or may not know that Bruno is also a DJ and recently played at a launch party for a clothing brand called Us and Them. Good to see Bruno being productive whilst off the bike.
YVC has been stocking Colony for what seems to be forever. If you are ever in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne riding Lilydale bowl make sure you check the guys out as they are just down the road from the there.
Here is a quick look at the 2012 Colony Inception complete bike which is available worldwide.

“One thing I’m really stoked on are the Guardian forks. The 30mm offset makes it easier to get comfortable on the front wheel tricks without it being really twitchy carving around in a bowl or riding trails. Along with the forks goes the frame. I’m really bad with breaking frames and I haven’t had a single problem since I’ve ridden the Teddy frames. No bending or cracks, nothing.”
Liam sent us an update about what’s been happening over in New Zealand, last weekend there was a comp at Stanmore which Liam came 3rd in. Check the video for all the footage from the days happenings. Liam is currently filming for his first Colony web video so keep an eye out for that aswell.
After the crazy ride into the city we hooked up with the locals and trekked around town, they showed us some cool spots and we battle dcity traffic. It’s insane the amount of people that stop and watch you ride, even security and police take an interest. Thanks to the local crew for the help around.
Brock Olive, ice to bars. Download it here for standard or the much preferred widescreen here.
While you’re at it have another watch of Brock’s most recent Colony web video. In other news Brock is over in China with some of the team exploring Shanghai.
Brandon recently made the move to Vancouver city and has been taking full advantage of the move. Large 360 tuck, on some of these he was actually buzzing his face on the tyre.
