Mandurah Games video
Last year some of us headed over to Perth for the annual Mandurah Action Sports Games. Unfortunately Alex got hurt the day before but Dean still shredded the comp along with all the locals and other crew from out of town. It was a pretty wild comp that got crazier as the night went on. Here is the official video from the event.
The 2014 Games is actually on this month over March 15-16 and there is a solid amount of $$ up for grabs so grab some crew and get over to the west. Thanks to Jarvis and Freestyle Now for hooking it up.
ADL City park jam this Friday
Some of the crew will be in Adelaide this weekend. Friday evening we will be sessioning the city park from around 7.30pm. Due to unforeseen circumstances we weren’t able to do the BBQ at Little Black Bike before hand but still come down for a shred!

DownUnderGround Round One 2014
Next Saturday, on the 18th of January is the first round of the DownUnderGround Flatland Series for 2014. Being held in Sydney it should be a good central event. Word has it that our Shane Badman & Simon O’Brien will be attending.
The organisers would like to make a point of letting everyone know, that all riders are welcome, especially those that are not actual “flat landers” themselves. It will be a great day to hone in those bike controls skills, like hang fives & nose wheelies that are all so integral to modern day BMX riding.
So get yourself along for an awesome day with some of the best flatland riders in the country, should be good times for sure. We are once again proud to support these events & must thank Freestyle Now for organising them as always & for 2020 Magazine for their continued support for series as well.

Amigos of Holmes on November 30th
As you may or may not be aware, Matt Holmes of 2020 BMX Magazine, has been going through some rather serious life threatening health issues battling cancer. Matt started 2020 BMX Magazine back in the late 1990’s & has helped grow the awesome BMX scene we have in Australia today. Right now he needs everyone’s support to get through this which we know he will.
A fund raising event has been planned & set for November 30th, here in Brisbane at the skatepark in Jindalee. There are more set for other venues in the months ahead around Australia as well. We here at Colony have of course got behind the movement with support to help raise funds for Matt & his growing medical bills. I urge anyone that can, please come along on November 30th & give what you can.
Check here for more info on the website set up for www.amigosofholmes.com
Check out this parody video put together to raise awareness for the fund raisers. Remember, it’s all just in good fun. See you on the 30th November.
