Luke Parker shot through an update from his time off work…

“Hey guys, I did plenty of riding over Christmas at the skateparks just working on a few new little things. I went back to work Monday so I’ve been getting them late night sessions in and destroying myself trying to learn grind combos on a flat rail!”

Perth based show team, Freestyle Now are over on the east coast in QLD doing some demos for this week in Morayfield. You will be able to watch our team riders, Alex Hiam, Chris Courtenay & David Pinelli shred it up on a 6 foot mini ramp inside the Morayfield shopping centre. Click here for more details.

Yo yo !!

Spotted this amazing nac photo of Luke Parker over on the Focalpoint website from a jam we supported late last year in Melbourne. More photos can be seen here.

Yo yo !!

We’ve added in some new team pages so if you want to learn more about Mike Brennan, Justin Care, Luke Parker or Glen Mclaughlin our warehouse manager here in Australia then click here.

We helped support the Hill n Dale jam that went down in Melbourne 2 weeks ago and Focalpoint just posted some great shots from the day. Luke Parker and Pete Radivo get in the mix. You can view all the images right here.

Pottstown, Pennsylvania resident Justin Care is the newest addition to the family over in the USA. Justin has been doing good things for a few years now with his parts sponsor Merritt and we wanted to help him out with a few things aswell to keep his bike rolling nice and smooth.

I can’t wait to work with Justin on some more projects in the future so been on the lookout for things to come from this kid. His team page will be up very soon. Thanks to @ryanscottphoto for the photo.

A couple weeks ago we announced that we were helping out Perth based rider David Pineli. Well today Bret Trigg was cool enough to shoot over this video he made of David for Enough Threads. David kills it with some crazy dipped 3 style and a deep bag of tricks.

Our buddy Polly just dropped this dialed video of him riding a few of his local parks, reppin’ Sealy’s Cycles which is where he works out in Frankston, Victoria. Props to Aidan Rice for filming and editing this.

As we posted the other day, Ricky is getting some flow from us for killing it on a bike over in Adelaide. Then the next day he drops a random web video he filmed over the past month or so, killing it.

A while ago Matt from Little Black Bike was telling me about this new kid down in Adelaide who was showing some good promise of being a possible rider for us here at Colony. We started to flow Ricky Catanzariti some product through the shop & now he has progressed into an official flow team member. We are stoked to have him on board & the fact Little Black Bike are down with him speaks words for us. Look out for more from Ricky in the new year, the kid is going to make some noise. We are stoked to have him in the family.

Shuhei has a few clips in this recent street jam put on by G-Shock over in Japan.

Thanks to Tristan Montagu we have a fresh new Peta Shepherd video to show. Peta is currently recovering from a broken collarbone but was able to finish up her latest edit. Also a special shoutout to Primary Threads for helping Peta out with some freshness

A few of us headed to the Dane Searls trails jam in Canberra yesterday. It was a dialed session with everyone getting crazy on the jumps. A few people came un stuck including Bayzand but I think all that did would still be stoked that they were apart of the day. I know Luke Parker was doing these cannonball’s.

Through Local BMX in Fremantle, WA we have started to help out David Pinelli with some Colony flow. David is also helped by the guys at Freestyle Now in WA who perform demos all over the country & basically do good things for BMX in this country. Check out his new 2014 Sweet Tooth below along with some action shots.

Thanks to both Local BMX & Freestyle Now for helping out David. We’re stoked to be able to do so as well.

Yo yo !!

We are proud to announce the latest addition to our worldwide team. Andre Jesus from Brazil is a transition killer. He has all the biggest moves & all while having fun on the bike. We were lucky enough to see his riding first hand whilst in Sao Paulo a few weeks back & were rather impressed. Our good friends at Dream BMX put us in touch and made things happen. Andre is already riding our stuff now & you can see his new bike below thanks to bmx20.com.br for the photos.

Welcome to the family Andre !! It’s good to have you aboard !!

Yo yo !!

Our Hungary based team rider Attila Godi just had a bike check over on the Live to Ride website which you can check out here.

Guettler, Chris and Luke Parker are off to the Vital BMX Game of Bike this weekend at Woodward West. It looks like it’s going to be an crazy contents from the line up of riders going.

Last week we announced that Luke was riding for Colony and he’d been filming hard for a new web video. Well today we are stoked to drop the new video which ties in with an interview Focalpoint did with luke. You can read that all here along with some great photos.

Our friend Shuhei from Japan has a bike check over on the Addiction BMX website which you can check out right here.

We would like to welcome Luke Parker to the family. Luke has been killing it over in Australia for the past couple years and is currently living over in California hitting everything he can whilst he is there. Something that stood out for me with Luke is that he rides everything, be it park, street or dirt this kid can do it and do it well. It seems as long as he is on his bike he is happy and that is enough for us to want to help him out. Be on the lookout for a welcome video very soon.

Today is a sad, sad day. Our great long term friend Henrique “Valvoline” Castro, has decided to step down from the team & take a back seat on BMX in general. Saying he needs to focus his life in different directions & concentrate on the more serious things in life. He also says he would rather give his spot on the team to a new, younger rider in Brazil who has more energy than he does for BMX right now. I expect you will still see him on a bike around but just not in the public eye as much.

It will feel empty not hearing from him with his travels in Brazil but I guess all good things do come to an end eventually. It’s been a great time having him on the team over the past 4 years or more my friend. You’re family for sure & this news has taken us all by shock. We are going to miss you mate !!

Click here to check out all the news posts from Valvo over the years. Thanks for the good times mate !!

Keep an eye on our site here as we work with Dream BMX in Brazil to find a new team rider. News soon we hope !!

Yo yo !!

Valvo sent through this video that Rafael Bueno put together of him riding down in Belo Horizonte.

I’ve been getting some great emails from Valvo lately with some nice shots. These are from a recent trip he took to Belo Horizonte-MG in Brazil.

Jack has been collecting some serious footage for his next web video, this may not be the craziest of moves but he was hyped on getting a photo of it and I am stoked on how it came out.

Tom, Dean and Mick all pop up in this left overs section from the recent Antipodes DVD from the French magazine Soul. The DVD was filmed from a months trip 5 French riders took to Australia.

Bruno features throughout this video from the BMX Avenue Street Line contest which looks like it was a good time. Bruno scored 3rd in best trick for 2 of the rail comps which was great to see.

Valvo sent through some more photos from the Brazil comp that the guys hit up. Like I said the other day, the guys have been having a blast thanks to our great distro over there Dream BMX. The guys are setting off on a little roadtrip for a few days before heading home, look out for more updates from the trip soon.

I also just spotted this clip of Millar riding the ramp, so stoked he pulled that last trick

Ryan Guettler, Chris Courtenay & Clint Millar are off to Brazil this week to meet up with Valvo & ride a mini ramp contest organised with our good mates at Dream BMX. Should be a blast for the guys with a small road trip planned after the event for a few days as well. Look out for updates here while the guys are there.
