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.
Here is Mick & his cured leg of ham that he won at yesterday’s comp here in France. Gotta be the most funniest prize I have ever seen for a comp. It was such a great day & everyone had a blast. Thanks to the organisers & all the riders that showed great support for us all & made us feel very welcome. Merci beaucoup !!

Today was the local comp in Aurillac , it was actually a blast to hang out at. It had a good vibe the whole time and everyone got right into it when the riders were having there runs, at the end of the day the group of Mick Bayzand, Bruno Faucon and Le Goff Guillaume came up on top. The funniest thing about it was that Mick won a cured leg of ham and some local goats cheese. That would have to be the strangest prize ever won at a comp and also the funniest!

The second event in the Core Series went down yesterday at Albany Creek skate park with a huge turnout which was great to see. Plenty of good riding went down & you can check for full results by clicking here now. Peta Shepherd was the only Colony rider who entered but she did well in the expert class with a few first’s for her. Alex wasn’t feeling it & pulled out before the pro class began. Chris turned up fresh from his knee surgery to watch & was in good spirits. Tim was on the mic as usual & kept things rolling along. All in all, a good day was had by all.

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.
