In the grand scheme of things there really aren’t that many girls who ride bmx but Peta does and does it quite well. Continue below to learn a bit more about her…

What are you up to today?

I just finished work… Chilling out for a bit and then going for a ride somewhere.

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

I have a twin brother. He doesn’t ride and we don’t look a thing alike. haha

Any plans to travel any time soon?

Hopefully yes. I wanna hit up the states in September/Octoberish.

If someone asked you why they should come visit Brisbane, what would you say?

Non rider: Beaches and theme parks. Rider: All the cool people to ride with and the good parks, plus the weather.

How many other girl riders are there in Australia do you think?

Umm.. not to sure in Australia, though I know there is a hand full in Brisbane and more keep popping up. Which is awesome to see.

Out of the hundreds of parks there are in Queensland what is your favorite to ride and why?

I love some many. But I think Kuraby, it just has fun quarters and banks, and even some little ledges

Everyone worked hard to get some new photos for their team pages along with new Q&A’s. I am stoked on how they came up! Check them here, have a read to learn a bit more about the team. Extra thanks go out to the photographers from around the world that helped out with team riders photos. The photo below is of Liam Fahy-Hampton from a fairly recent trip from Brisbane down to Melbourne, it’s amazing what you will find in small towns.

17 months ago we lost a good friend in the Victorian bushfires, Nathan Charles.  Unfortunately I couldn’t make it to this years jam but Colony hooked up the guys with some product to give out on the day and going off this video there was a good turn out which is awesome. Pete Radivo took it pretty hard near the end of the edit, I have no idea what Pete was trying. Rest in Peace Charlzy.

Bruno sent us over this edit which he features in, that park at the start looks super fun. Look out for a quick clip of Libellule as well. See you both next month !!

By the way, we will be in the south of France mid June touring around with a bunch of the team from Australia as well as our French connection. Check with Unleaded for more info & dates. We will also release full details here in the next few days.

Zac Miner has a Low Profile in the latest issue of DIG BMX magazine. DIG is definitely my favourite BMX mag and this issue is no let down.

The ATX Flatland crew made an edit to welcome Shintaro Misawa who is heading over to Texas in a couple of weeks for the MC Duff jam on the 29th of May. This edit has a bunch of local crew riding in it then into some Shintaro comp footage…

Our flow rider from Hungary Attila Godi sent over this recent edit. The park it is filmed at looks pretty interesting it’s almost like it’s someones backyard, random tent midway through the section in the background aswell, either way some cool stuff in this.

We have a new flow rider by the name of Jens kahlström who is from Stockholm, Sweden. It’s always rad seeing riders from other sides of the world, even better to be able to help them out with some parts aswell. click here to check out an edit that Jens features in (black bike) which has some rad moves in it.

Jonny Devine sent over a photo of his Gnarkill frame all set up, he took to it with some paint stripper and gave it a unique look…

Jonny Devine hit me up to let us know he has been riding a bunch of trails lately, which is rad! Check out the ChapelWoods site while you are at it. Jonny also went on the Ride to Glory trip recently which he said was a blast. Below is a couple photos of Jonny at the trails…

I just got back from the Redbull Dirtpipe Comp that happened on the weekend. Definately an eye opener! Chris and Zac both rode in the comp and Chris made it to the finals but unfortunately had a crash which he injured his knee pretty bad and had to be taken to the hospital. Chris is going to see a knee specialist today, fingers crossed everything is ok.

Myself, Chris Courtenay and Zac Miner were floating about in Canberra yesterday before we headed down to the Redbull Dirt Pipe comp, the weather was rad so we got a solid ride in. below is Chris at a pretty familiar spot.

I spotted this on Facebook, it’s a healthy reminder of how rad Mick Bayzand is, most of this footage is a good five years old. It’s a section from an old video magazine called Rollcall which isn’t around anymore but was cool while it lasted.

A sneak peak of our top load version of the Official stem due out in September this year.

Thanks to Andrew Sanford for filming and editing this cool edit of Broc at their local indoor park. The guys lit up certain areas with flood lights and seemed to have fun doing it. Feeble to 270 footjam was rad.

Tom set up a new bike recently so we snapped a photo of it, looks pretty rad if you asked me! If you never saw it or what another look at it check Tom’s Colony edit from a couple months ago here, edited by John Young.

Paddy rides for Colony over in Germany, if you would like to learn a little bit more about the man, check out the quick Q&A below…

What are you up to today?

I’ve been riding  a demo at a kids festival in Hamburg/Germany.

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

I believe in god but I am not religious at all, it’s just between me & him. it’s cool to send a little prayer everyday to say thanks or if he could have an eye on my friends and loved ones and keep everyone save.

What’s the weather like there at the moment in Germany?

Spring is here and just told us that summer is on its way by spoiling us with lots of sunshine.

Any plans to travel any time soon?

I am working a lot to save up to visit Australia by the end of this year. I haven’t been there yet and I can’t wait to see the country and see the Colony family.

If someone asked you why they should come visit Germany what would you tell them?

There’s lots of history, beautiful girls, unique spots to ride and because Germany is a small country you’re able to visit another country in no time.

I really did have a ball at the Amigos Jam yesterday in Brisbane, thanks to everyone that helped put it on, Chris Courtenay ended up winning the bowl comp and also tied 3rd in the street comp. Goodtimes.

Chris was recently added to the flow team, then proceeded to bang out this rediculous wed edit. Read on for a little insight into his world.

What are you up to today?

Well its a nice sunny sunday so perfect! im gonna go riding with Troy Charlesworth and Nitai and hopefully get some photos and clips for a lil something we’ve been working on!

Have you always lived in Queensland?

Yeah I was born in Mackay then moved to Brisbane!

I would say you are more known for your park riding but lately it seems you have been riding a bunch of street, what has been the motivation behind that?

I guess it was just something that I really didnt ride much and just started playing around with skatepark street sections! I find it alot of fun going out and trying to find something cool to ride but yeah, I do love riding skateparks.

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

My family has a sweet beach house on a island haha!

You went to the states last year to ride, what was your best memory from that trip?

Probably a road trip to Orlando, Florida I did with two friends, Brandon Cristie and Josh Perry! Just was a real fun trip got to ride a fair bit and got a sweet hook up into Disney World which was amazing!

Any plans to travel overseas again this year?

I’m heading off to China for the Asian X Games at the end of May then back over to America for a few months! It’s coming up soon so getting pretty excited!

This photo is of Zac Miner from the recent trip we did from Brisbane to Canberra, wallride from bowl to bowl. I guess you could say this is Zac’s local park as he seems to know all the lines when you watch him ride there.

I do enjoy painting my bike, keeps things fresh and for me personally it gives me a good feeling about being on my bike.

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?

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…

Just drinking a few VB tallies, watching this chick have her photo shoot! Nothing better to do because my ankle is f@cked!!

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.
