Hey Guys,
My wrist has definitely been on the mend lately, well for someone like myself that has had so many injury’s nothing really gets better it just gets bearable so I have been riding my local park Prahran alot lately stregthaning my wrist and getting my jibb game back on, it’s been a lot of fun. I have all so been filming a few insta vids down there as well if you would like to see them just follow me… @mick_bayzand1
Thanks to Kym Grosser for the photo.
I knew of a few drain spots that already existed here in Melbourne so I spent some time fixing up a few along with creating some new spots and then invited some of the guys to come down, stay at my place and ride the spots for 3 days. We had to do this during the middle of summer so that we didn’t get washed away and to be able to build at the spots. This all worked well besides the temperatures going above 40 every day we were out but everyone made it work and had a blast doing so. Here is the video (and photos) from the project, hopefully we get to do another one next summer.
A good chunk of the team have some really good footage in the mix section of Stu Munro’s DVD. You can see more sections right here…
Mick Bayzand hit us up with a little update, read on below…
You may not of known but I broke my wrist a while ago, so I have been laying low of late working on some art projects to keep me sane. But I am back on the bike now and keen as ever. This year I plan on it being a very productive one and I am already working on a few different projects, so keep your eyes out and keep shredding.
Yo yo !!
Some of the Strictly crew hit up a little plaza park on the outskirts of Melbourne including Mick Bayzand and smashed out some dialled lines.
I just got back from a trip we took over to Adelaide with Mick, Tom, Chris and Luke. We were over there filming for a video in conjunction with the Elizabeth Riders committee which will be used for helping teach kids in school about BMX.
The trip was a blast and all the crew we hung with were real cool. Thanks to Dave Rubinich for hooking us up with these dialed photos.
A few of us headed to the Dane Searls trails jam in Canberra yesterday. It was a dialed session with everyone getting crazy on the jumps. A few people came un stuck including Bayzand but I think all that did would still be stoked that they were apart of the day. I know Luke Parker was doing these cannonball’s.
We just premiered this Mick Bayzand video on TCU which I am really stoked to have out now. Mick seriously did go in so hard for this and I think it shows. We hope you enjoy it!
More info on Mick’s signature bars and frame here…
Mick has some real solid footage in this mix with a bunch of the team guys from Strictly Bmx which is just located around the corner from this park, really enjoyed this.
The sun was out again in Melbourne so I took the guys down to the iconic St Kilda banks on the beach which was pretty damn good then onto the city for a roll well into the evening. Good times indeed.
We put together a video to show everyone the highlights of the 2014 Colony Endeavour along with some riding from a few of the team guys. These bikes are available now in Australia with the rest of the world getting them in September.
Yesterday was another good day. We started out in Maryborough & hit up some local street spots which turned out well. Then made the drive to Woodgate but stopped off in Childers on the way to hit some rails.
I was really wanting to show the guys Woodgate though, one for the awesome ramp & also to see the kangaroos that are always hanging right by the ramp. The local wildlife did not let us down & both Jourdan & Brandon got to see their first ever kangaroos. Some good riding went down from Chris as well with some solid stuff going down in the last specks of day light.
Today we are in Gladstone & will be at M1 Cycles at 11am then the park in town at midday. Come & say g’day !!
Yo yo !!
Mick and I spent the entire day searching the outskirts of Sydney for spots to ride on the way back down, The traffic might suck in this place but the spots certainly don’t! A few gems to hit when we are in Sydney with the crew in the coming weeks.
Myself and Mick started the long drive from Melbourne to Brisbane yesterday morning. We made good time and got to Sydney by nightfall. We past the time by watching sketchy drivers on the freeway, one driver braked suddenly in the rain on a hill to 60km’s an hour with a truck behind them yet somehow everyone avoided the idiot, dealt with basically every type of weather and I discovered I could run sunglasses directly over my glasses which makes it so much easier to drive. Not sure why I didn’t try that years ago…
We are very excited to announce the Follow the Lines Tour which will be commencing next week. This is basically a filming trip along with getting to hang out with a lot of new riders around the country. Being that it will be school holidays we will be visiting a few stores along the way and their local parks & trails even. Make sure you get out to one of the sessions at the shops and local park for plenty of giveaways!
For everyone in between, we will no doubt be hitting up more parks and spots, so keep an eye on our Instagram to see where we are are to catch up for a roll. Can’t wait for this to begin!
A good chunk of the team will be on various parts of the trip and we even have Brandon Van Dulken (Canada) and Jourdan Barba (USA) coming out for it! Both of which have never been here before, so that will be a treat for them & us !!
Mick turns 30 today, I’ve been fortunate enough to know and ride with Mick for a good 10 years now and I look forward to many more. Mick has put in alot of work on the bike over the years so I am sure his body feels alot more like 50. Enjoy the day mate.
Mick came thorugh with some great clips in this GoPro edit he worked on with Kym Grosser recently, good stuff! Follow Micky on Instagram @mick_bayzand1
I spent the weekend out with Marnold, Mick and Jack whilst we had some good weather. Mick just got back into Melbourne so we should be going in hard in the coming weeks for his next web video. Jack has a web video dropping this week I can’t wait to get out! Marnold is also in the final stages of clipping up for his next project. Good times!
Over the weekend there was a comp at Elizabeth park in South Aus which we supported, Mick comes from Elizabeth so he was down there hanging out with the crew. We hear it was a great day, shout out to all the crew that made it happen.
In Elizabeth, Adelaide this weekend is a competition at the Elizabeth park which also happens to be where Mick Bayzand is from. We are getting behind it so be sure to hit it up if you are in South Australia. Mick will even be there on the day.
Yo yo !!
Cooper, Marnold, Mick and Jack all have really good clips in this mixtape from Focalpoint. Be sure to have a watch then like them on Facebook.
Yo yo !!
Mick recently setup a new rig and sent through a few photos of it at his favourite spot in the world no doubt…
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.

Mick Bayzand smashed out this steep ice grind back in December and it scored him the latest print advert for his signature Teddy frame in the current issue of 2020. Make sure you get down to your local store and grab a copy.
Myself, Mick and Zac just got back from a filming trip in Canberra and Sydney. It was crazy hot pretty much everyday but we manage to come home with alot of good clips. Both these guys will have web videos dropping early 2013 which I am hyped to finish and edit up. Here are a few random shots from our Instagram during the trip.
