Next up in our Ten Clips video series, is our own team manger, art director, photographer, videographer & all round nice guy, Cooper Brownlee. Filmed at one of the many fun parks in Melbourne, Australia he threw down some good riding. Check out the tech lines that Cooper always does so well. Enjoy.

Yo yo !!

Cooper Brownlee has been graced with his first signature product in the way of his own bars. Aptly named because if you know Cooper, you know that his life is BMX 24/7. He never stops. Whether it’s behind the camera, in front of the camera, behind the laptop & on the bike. Cooper lives & breathes BMX. It’s for this reason we all love him.

Measuring in at 8.75″ high, 29.5″ wide with 12 degrees back sweep & 1 degree of up sweep, the Twenty Four Seven Bars should tick all the right boxes. Check them out at your nearest Colony dealer in Australia & the USA now with other countries very soon.

Yo yo !!

On December 3rd, 2011 almost the entire Colony team will be in Adelaide, South Australia. It’s all to help promote the up coming Vans / Colony collaboration shoe release.

Ryan Guettler, Alex Hiam, Zac Miner, Mick Bayzand, Cooper Brownlee, Tom Stretton, Liam Zingbergs, Brock Olive, Valvo & myself will be there.

We will be having an in-store at Little Black Bike at 1pm & then a ride at the city park at 3pm. Come along, meet the team, get some freebies & then let’s all have a ride. Should be a great day.
