Richo recently went up to the Maryborough trails and filmed a fun little session from the day.

I came across this photo on my computer whilst I was cleaning up. It was shot at the BBQ we had back in January to celebrate one year of Colony’s independence…

Well rounded traveler, Mick Bayzand gives us a quick Q&A. Pretty interesting read this one…

Micky, You just got back from living in Vancouver Canada for the past couple years, what was your favourite part about living there?

Oh mate soooo much good street soooo much, good parks if ya in to that, epic trails and I mean epic! sickest spot ever. Meeting a whole new crew of amazing people, and of course the girls woooowwwww. Oh and Reases chocolates……

What did you miss most about Oz?

My family, riding with the crew, all my mates, road triping with the Colony boys, the aussie accent, meat pies, warm weather and neighbours.. hehe.

Tell us something about yourself people probably don’t know…

i made millions in the stock market and pissed it all up the wall! Naa, I have a IQ of 1700 hahaha nah more like two but I do have a black belt in taekwondo and I really enjoy cooking with a little help from some one who actually knows what there doing.

You tend to enjoy grinding rails, what is your favourite thing to do down a rail?

well I have to say I do love doing double pegs and over’s just because you can do them down some really ridiculous rails and that’s always a crazy rush. Saying that, I am quite fond of a big ice to, oohhh yeaah hangers feel amazing and I am just starting to get in to luc-e grinds. Pretty much anything down a rail is amazing..

Lately you have been travelling a fair bit, what has been your favourite place to ride?

Wow that’s a tough one, I have so much fun traveling and riding new spots that’s probably my favourite thing to do ever I love it that’s when I get my best riding done but as for spots Canada trails, Brizzie trails, the over vert drains in Melbs. Every state and every where you go has mad spots I just love being on my bike with my mates searching and shredding cant beat it hey……………………….

Jonny Devine sent us over this rad edit from a bunch of sessions the boys have had in his private barn set-up this past winter over in the UK. Things like this get me motivated for the winter months ahead.

Mick Bayzand has been in Melbourne for the past week hanging out and having a roll. It was a real solid weekend of riding. We went around and hit a few favourites, Mick hasn’t been to this spot since the very first day I rode street with him a  good five years ago, good memories for sure. Mick heads back to Adelaide tomorrow, we will miss you Micky!

Queensland shredder Nick Richardson hit us back with some answers for the next Know the team, continue reading to learn a little more about Nick…

You were over in the states a few months back hanging out with Ryan, how was that? Do you plan on heading back sometime soon? Or are you loving it being back in your home town?

It was awesome hanging out with Guet again! Greenville has some amazing street and some f@cking rad people! I f@cking love it! I also love being back home, Australia is the nicest place on earth hands down! but yeah I wanna go back this year for sure to ride and party! 5th street is calling!!!!

How are the trails going at the moment? Didn’t they recently get washed away from Queenslands crazy rain?

They are dead and gone! Could be some more going somewhere though!!! =)

Your signature frame is called the Gnarkill, where did the name come from?

The name came from my badass greyhound! He gets all the girls haha

Tell us something about yourself people probably don’t know…

I love playing the drums! I bought a drum kit the other day and I’m in love, I haven’t had one for years! We have a band starting soon baby woo!

We are supporting a jam going on in a couple of weeks at Rampage park in the USA. Make sure you head down if you are in that part of the world…

Broc Raiford won the Jomopro Expert class the other day, here is a video of his runs, He hits the roof on a tuck air which is wild. Park looks rad also! Congrats Broc.

Random photo of Marnold that we shot the other night hitting up a shopping centre carpark due to the lack of daylight these days.

Over on Diversity Bmx, Alex Hiam has a cool little interview where he talks about his signature frame, traveling and all sorts of other good stuff. You can check it out here.

I slept with Miranda Kerr in highschool.

Uumm nah not really ,I grew up in Bendigo, then I lived at the coast for a while , then I lived at the snow .. then I lived in qbn … then Melbs .

You have been fortunate enough to travel a bit, what has been your favourite road trip so far? so far ….

You are also into music quite a bit, tell us what that’s all about?

Umm , well I like to mess around with noises hahaha basically I like anything that’s had work put into it … no matter what music .

Today we stopped in at Backbone and checked out the new store. We then had a fun session at Woden park, hopefully it doesn’t rain tomorrow!

Valvo sent us over a couple photos from a new park that has opened up in Brazil near his house, looks awesome fun! I wish they would build one like this near me.

We popped down to Above All bike store and hung out for a while on the weekend as Julian had recently moved the store to Engadine. After the shop we hit up helensburgh park for the jam which coincided with the shop opening, there were plenty of riders there and all was going well until the weather set in and put a stop to the session. I think everyone still had a good time though. Thanks to Julian at Above All for putting on the day.

Ryan is next on the list, read on and learn a little more about him…

What are you up to today?

I just got back last night from Vegas there was a small dirt comp but I didn’t enter because of the wind and hurt my foot abit. Today I woke up went for a road bike ride because its nice and sunny then I cleaned the backyard and got all the pine cones off the ramp. Now I’m just doing emails till people show up to ride !!!

Ryan, you only spend a month or so back here in Australia, do you wish you could spend more time here?

Of course I do I love Australia but I feel like right now I have a chance to travel the world and ride with the worlds best. I grew up in Aus for 18 years and now I’m seeing the world and later I’ll always come back home but for now I’m trying to make the most of it this can’t last forever.

Best thing about living in the states?

Maybe living in a town with all the guys I had posters of riding BMX like Mirra ,Mackay and Ali Whitton. Things are alot cheaper here and lot more riding spots are nice.

Best thing about living in Oz?

Such real people, all my mates rock. My family is there too.

Tell us something about yourself people probably don’t know…

People know a far bit about me because of that damn internet so heres a few more…

1. My brother could easily be a bodybuilder. Last time I saw him he leg press 1200kg and that night he slammed my head in to a brick wall hahaha (no joke)

2. I’m scared of heights. Over the years I’ve got better with it but most of the time when I’m on a tall roll in I have to look only at my front wheel, if I look over the side ill clam up.

3. Some of the people who use to baby sit me include Tim Wood and Clint Millar.

4. Me and Ali Whitton do kick boxing twice a week in Greenville.

5. I got done doing 75 in a 35 speed zone and the cop let me off because I said I was on my way to play golf with Dave Mirra.

6. I’m 75% blind in my right eye from my brother whipping me with a towel when I was 5 for 2 years I had a pirates patch over my eye.

7. I worked at McDonalds for three years and got employee of the month twice and that’s how I paid for my first trip to America BITCH!

It was a long and fairly un-eventful drive down from Coffs Harbour, most the time in our van was spent playing Dice. Even as I type this some of the crew are playing right now. Below some of the guys were getting in a few quick  rounds in between clips.

I went out and shot some photos with Shane the other night which was a bunch of fun! Here is a photo of his new Cube set-up.

Some of the team is up here in Brisbane to ride for a few days before we head down to Sydney for a road trip, we have been having a bunch of fun riding some spots but the injury list is growing! Hopefully we can heal up before we get on the road. Mick with a launch flyout at a pretty fun spot.

We went out the other night and hit up the new indoor park up here in Brisbane, Ramp Attak which was a bit of fun, Alex Hiam and Chris Courtenay seemed to enjoy it…

Alex has been clocking some footage whilst out on usual shred missions over the past couple of months, with thanks to his mates that he rides with they filmed up this this edit we got going on…
