Right, so june this year I got back from an absolutely insane 10 week trip to California, first off meeting some of the boys for the first time was a good time. Had an absolute blast, met a bunch of really good people and rode my bike a hell of a lot. I owe a big thank you to all of those people that helped me out with a place to stay, driving me about and taking me to some really good places. Unfortunately 2 days before I flew home I flew over the bars on the trails at Woodward West and broke my collar bone, hit my head pretty hard and ended up concussed worse than I’ve ever been before and had a huge hematoma on my hip. Again a huge thanks to the medical staff at Woodward, an even bigger thanks to Danny Josa and Robert Barranco for being there for me, getting me to hospital and then back down to LAX and sorting all my luggage out as I was pretty damn dazed still at that point.
Spent some time chilling when I got back, went to Boardmasters festival in Newquay that has a mini ramp contest at every year, always a bit of fun and had a blast seeing the homies riding and partying.
Since then I have ended up getting back into work, riding around the times I’m not at work having fun and enjoying the last of the British Summer, which always comes to an end way too soon. Through out the next month I will be filming a ten clips at some point, after that I’m going to start working on a full Colony video.
Polly has been running this Prody set-up for a while now and I finally got a chance to shoot some photos of it. Stacked with our product including the Hardy 4 piece bars, our prototype gyro and Guardian Forks with mounts.
In june I moved to Melbourne and I have been loving being able to ride my bike heaps! But I recently went back to Perth for a month to do shows and some coaching.. Everyday for one week at the Perth Royal Show is always a good time, hanging out with mates and riding bikes. Then some skatepark coaching and more demos with Freestyle Now.
Just thought I would share a few rad shots from the trip! Back in Melbourne now and I cant wait to start filming with Cooper within the next week or so!
Hey guys, not a whole lot has been happening in Nz lately as weather keeps changing its mind every other minute. Been getting out as much as I can but had bike stolen about a month ago on one of the first roadie for our summer. Been borrowing a bike to try get out but have just had my new one land. So stoked on how the bikes feeling and looking only after a couple of rides.
Going to be doing some demos this coming weekend in Auckland at big boys toys which should be a bit of fun.
Chris has been riding for Colony for just over a year now so I am stoked to finally get his welcome video all done and out for your viewing pleasure. Chris to me is a silent shredder, he just cruses on through life quietly killing it on a bike and also behind the lens, Thanks to the guys that helped out filming some of the clips when I wasn’t in town…
A few real nice shots of Nathan shot by Matt Cordova who recently got a fresh new camera set-up. Cranked turndown!
Over in Hungary, Attila Godi just set up a real fresh looking Burna frame. You can see the full bike check right here. Such a nice looking bike.
Nathan just got back from a 5 day trip doing shows in Mexico and Indiana, no doubt it was a crazy time. Here are a few photos Nathan sent through…
Big tricks… That’s the best way to describe Andre‘s riding and this video. Some really wild moves throughout this, loved the flair transfer. Thanks to Subvertmedia for the video.
Milosz recently got hooked up by Etnies and for his welcome video he has gone and destroyed the mellow Park in Berlin. This has been shot and cut really well by Mateusz Kanownik.
Thanks to the guys at Unleaded we have a new team rider over in France by the name of Tanguy Labertrande. Tanguy just set up his new ride and you will be seeing more of him in the future.
Andre Jesus is living in Finland for the moment & here is an afternoon session at a local park. Filmed & edited by Scott Connor.
Yo yo !!
Justin recently set up one of the 2015 Miner frames. He is also running Guardian forks, Colonial Cranks, Contour rims, Clone front hub, Anyway Plastic pegs on the front and one of our internal headsets. Justin’s latest video will be dropping in about a month and trust me you won’t be dissapointed.
The weathers starting to come good down here and the days are getting longer so after work sessions are starting to TURNT up again!
I built up a Prody frame a month or 2 ago, loaded with brakes and pegs and have been riding a heap and getting clips together for my Colony edit that’s gonna come out soon!
After recently getting back to riding from a broken foot Luke jetted up north to film with the Fox guys for this video. He might be fresh off the boot but he still came through with some great clips throughout the video…
As we mentioned a few days ago, some of the crew were out at Jam Chowder. DIG just posted the video from the day and both Justin and Cooper have clips, such a good event.
Yo yo !!
It’s on tomorrow !!
We have teamed up with 99 Bikes at Browns Plains to have a morning out at the new improved park in Browns Plains for a meet & greet with some of the team, our 2015 bikes & have a chilled ride as well. The guys will also be on hand with free posters & stickers. 99 Bikes will have our 2015 range of complete bikes & some parts on display as well. Chris Courtenay, Josh Dove & Millar will be there riding while Alex Hiam & Tom Stretton will be hanging out due to injury. So come on out & have a fun morning on the bike if you’re around.

Thanks to our good friend Dave Rubinich we scored some really nice sequence shots of Ricky doing some crazy moves. Has half cab crank flip bars been done before?
Over on Vital BMX they have a bike check with Nathan Sykes & his new 2015 Burna Frame. Sadly though, the bike you see there was stolen at Interbike but we’ve got him rolling again on the same set up. Check it by clicking here now.
On a side note: Nathan is on a trip with Bobbie Altiser, Chris Bracamonte & Cooper Brownlee in Utah. So if you see them, say g’day !!
Yo yo !!
Dean got loose for his new video which sometimes didn’t quite go to plan but he came out the other end with a dope new video.
I hung out with Nathan earlier this week and although it was stupid hot we had a blast and got some photos taken care of. Unfortunately the brand new bike Nathan is riding in these shots was stolen at Interbike but Nathan will be back rolling in no time.
Hey guys – it’s been a long, cold winter down in the south in country Victoria where I’m living at the moment. Still been pushing on though and had got the chance to do some demos at Federation Square in Melbourne in July, then in August went on a 3 week road trip up the east coast with my good mate from Hungary, Andras Pentek, to Brisbane where I was stoked to catch up with the Boss, Clint Millar and get out for some flatland sessions! From Brisbane, I then drove straight to Adelaide for a few days, then back to country Victoria. Good times on the bike and the road.
Stoked that summer is on it’s way. Will be heading to Japan in October for 8 days on a riding trip, then soon as I get back, keep a look out on your TV’s as I’ll be getting busy doing demos at the T20 International Cricket matches in Adelaide and Melbourne. Thanks to Freestyle Now for that hookup, will be good to get Colony and BMX out to the masses.
Keep in touch on Insty @shanebadman Thanks to Greg Barnes and Andras Pentek for the images.
Chris has been stacking clips for the past few months for his welcome video and we should be all done in the coming weeks. Chris has pop!
Ricky holds it down for us in Adelaide and always comes through with cool videos. This one is no different with what seems to be an endless list of combo’s. Make sure you check this out.
Dean Anderson has some footage towards the end of this edit of his buddy Adrian Fox riding their local park of Morwell in Victoria.
Shuhei Max Azuma has a bike check over on BMX Union which features a bunch of the new product including the 2015 Sweet Tooth. Check it all here.
