Strictly BMX have got behind a series of comps to be held in & around Melbourne between now & Xmas this year. Check out the flyer below for the dates & places, should be a good series by the looks of it.

Yo yo !!

We have nearly finished everything for this event. I am psyched! This is the roller coaster rail which I had a quick test of, grinds real well and is crazy fun grinding on 4 pegs!

As you would know by now the King of the Jibs comp is coming up in a few weeks. We started work on the angle and rails for the course today, It’s all starting to come together and I am looking forward to seeing it all layed out and not piled up in our carport.

Here Shane Badman gives you a run down of the location of the finals for the Newcircle DownUnderground series. Happening in Redcliffe Queensland on the 28th of August.

Jens Kahlstrom our flow rider from Sweden, sent in a quick update to say he will heading to the Summer Session in Helsinki, Finland on August the 13th. You can click here for full details on the event. That park course looks fun for sure.

Yo yo !!

I build the last bank for the comp today, this is the closest thing to transition you will see in the course. Just got the rails and coping to go! Check here for all the info about the comp.

Today we watched the street eliminators in the morning which was amazing to see. So much good riding went down. A real treat to watch. Then we checked out the vert prelims & finals. It was great to see vert as the centre piece show it was. A real close competition for sure. Tim Wood just missed out on a finals spot but still rode amazing with a perfect 900 & huge turndown flair amongst other stuff. Nice one mate. Tomorrow is park finals & big air, should be good to see.

Yo yo !!

Shane Badman sent in a quick update of what he’s been up to of late… read on below.

Recently headed over to Bali for just under a week to go to one of my closest mates wedding (congrats Kieren & Nikki!). We stayed just outside Kuta and spent the time chillin by the pool, hitting up Balinese massages (for $8AUD you can’t go wrong!), crazy shopping markets, booting around on scooters like the big kids we are & just generally having an awesome time. Unfortunately the bike didn’t come with me (first time ever!), but sussed out a few spots to ride for the next visit.

If you are a surfer, you definitely need to check out around Bali, some awesome surf beaches!

Been super busy helping to get the finals of the DownUnderground underway as well. It’s going to be an awesome event for sure & myself & the crew at Newcircle are busy putting together a little promo edit for the event so stay tuned! – Shane.

Yo yo !!

The Newcircle Dowunderground flatland series final is coming up & it’s held in Brisbane once again. Should be a great day for all involved. If you’re keen to see Australia’s best flatland riding then make sure you save the date.

Yo yo !!

There will be a fund raising jam at the Albury skatepark to help raise funds for a much needed make over at the park. Check the flyer below for info. It’s proudly supported by The Sanction amongst others. Get there & support your scene if you’re in the area. Should be a great day for sure.

Yo yo !!

Tim Wood is of to LA this weekend for the X Games there next week. He has scored an invite in vert & we wish him the best of luck. Tim recently put together a fresh new Teddy frame complete with all our parts lines as seen below. Gotta love the Candy Red look.

Yo yo !!

This Saturday the 24th July there is a comp at the Crestmead skate park. Come one, come all for a fun day on the bike & a bunch of prizes from us here at Colony.

Yo yo !!

Colony & Newcircle team rider, Shintaro Misawa earned himself a very respectable 5th place at the BMX Masters in Germany on the weekend. So good to see him consistently placing in the top 5 at almost every event around the world. Well done mate !! I love the fact that Shintaro rides no rear pegs & even a cassette wheel to produce a very original style.

Yo yo !!

The Core Series final was on Sunday & was a good day for sure. A good turn out & the riding level was really high with a few first’s done at the park. Decade airs, flip whips, front flips, smith to whips were a few stand outs from the day. So good to watch. Our own Peta Shepherd did well enough to get 7th on the day & 5th overall for the year in expert. Well done Peta !! Alex Hiam also rode well yesterday & took out 3rd place in the pro class. Thanks to Ange for the pics.

Yo yo !!

I am definately looking forward to riding this setup once we are done! In this photo you can see a cheeky in and out on its side which is pretty fun, the pad on the ground will have something super fun on it at the end of the ledge, should be interesting when its done.

I started work on the two main banks for part of the course, before I built the 2nd bank I gave this one a quick test. Stoked on the pop it gives you!

Don’t forget the Core Series final tomorrow at Kuraby. Every BMX competitor gets a free set of Colony grips too, see you there.

Yo yo !!

The Core Series final is on this Sunday at Kuraby skatepark. As a special incentive ride we are giving a set of free Colony grips to every competitor that enters the comp. So get yourself down to Kuraby on Sunday & have a a ride or at least hang out for a good day regardless.

Yo yo !!

The video for the second round of the Downunderground series is online now & you can check it out below. Look our for clips from our own Simon O’Brien & Shane Badman who scored 1st & 2nd respectively in the event. Supported by your own stop source for all things flatland in Australia, Newcircle.

Yo yo !!

There was a huge turnout for the BMX Day Out in Beenleigh yesterday. So good to see. So many old faces turned up & had many a good story to talk about. Thanks to all that came out & thanks to Ling for organising it all for Leif, our thoughts are with you mate.

Yo yo !!

I’ve started work on the wedge to wedge setup, this will have a rail running up and down one side, should be fun! All the jibs we are building will be for the jam/comp we are holding at the Ausbike tradeshow on the 21st of August in Melbourne and the 9th/10th of October in Brisbane.

So I worked more on the jibs today, in the photo below you will see a manual pad which is also high enough as a ledge on the sides, one of the sides will have a flat rail running across it aswell. Then we have the outledge  which just needs coping.

More progress reports to come…

Don’t forget the BMX Day Out planned for this Sunday at the infamous Beenleigh BMX park. See ya there !!

Yo yo !!

About six weeks ago we posted about this years Ausbike tradeshow happening in August down in Melbourne and that we were going to hold a street jam/comp on the main day of the event where we invite 20 riders from across Australia to get their jib on!

Well today I started building the things to ride. The course will consist of a bunch of ledges, wedges, banks, rails and what ever else we can come up with to keep the riders psyched! I thought it would be cool to post up some progress photos as I go through the build. Here you can see a couple flat ledges and also an up ledge that I am real excited about, these are basically done besides coping. Plenty more building to go so stay tuned!

Shintaro Misawa the most travelled man in flatland, is off to the BMX Masters in Cologne, Germany in a few weeks. I am sure the Kolsch will be flowing there during the comp as well. Cologne is such a party city & always a great time. He is also off to Malaysia again soon to hang with his girlfriend but will of course take the bike as well.

Yo yo !!

Some more photos from our trip across France and Barcelona, thanks again to Unleaded for helping us out across France.

First up we have Mick Bayzand hanging a rail in France, then we have Liam Fahy-Hampton, Mick Bayzand and Bruno Faucon chilling before the comp down in Aurillac and last but not least this was a spot in Marseille that the locals took us to and a school group were stoked on BMX, they had Marnold doing stunts for them.
