Another 10 clips edit from Valvo. This was from an afternoon down at Browns Plains park which Valvo had never seen before but seemed to really enjoy. It must have been 40 degree’s this day but it still all worked out.

The ever so humble Paddy Gross shot through an update…

“Since I moved from Germany to the USA at Christmas, I’ve been going through a heap of changes. First of all, my girl and I got married after being together for a while. I’ve gotten really lucky with her and besides that she’s relaxed and uncomplicated, she’s a surfer and she loves me being on my bike and knows what it means to me, just very different from what I’ve experienced.

Other than that, my mom lives in Portland, Oregon and I’ve been coming to this place for almost ten years. I’ve made some good friends over the years such as Chester Blacksmith, Andy Merrall, Shad Johnson, Justin Inman and so on, who are now my daily riding mates. Just the in the state of Oregon alone there has to be more than a hundred concrete skateparks so it doesn’t get boring at all (check here). Also, the legendary Burnside skatepark under a highway bridge is one of the playgrounds I hang out at. This park is made out of real rough concrete and you can just feel by pushing around that it is made by hand a long time ago, a seriously amazing park with a million lines. The winter is still going on but we’re having a heap of sunny days and a new edit is already in the works. Since my mom has had a major health problem I am working in her bike shop a lot and I am taking care of the BMX section also which is heaps fun and a good way to introduce Colony to the kids. I am excited for everything happening this year and also my next Australian visit is in the works. Thanks heaps for letting me share what’s going on in my life with all of you and thanks for reading. Have fun shredding and stay happy and healthy. Cheers, Paddy.”

Ave BMX are our new distributor for Poland & the guy’s there are really behind BMX & it’s lifestyle 100%. Since taking over distro for us there, they have also picked up on the team Michal Mycek who has been our longtime team rider. Michal has now joined their team & will soon be going on his first team trip with them. We are stoked in Ave BMX’s support for Michal & Colony. They will soon be receiving their first Colony shipment, so hit the guys up for anything you are chasing from us real soon.

This video below is from the team’s last trip in Cyprus & it looked like a tonne of fun. Really well put together & a treat to watch. Get yourself a coffee, sit back & enjoy.

A little while back Atilla took a trip to Budapest, he sent through a few photos for us to check out.

Atilla shot us through an update from Hungary, it seems it’s been snowing of late keeping him off the bike on the regular. Check this photo of his local park from yesterday, -18 degrees and 35cm of snow! Quite the opposite to here in Australia.

Valvo sent through this edit his friend Felipe Corrêa created. It’s really well fimed and edited and Valvo kills it! Valvo can ride anything.

Oskars Zajarskis recently built up a fresh new 2012 The Living frame in 21.25 as you can see below. Oskars rides for us through Par BMX in Latvia but has been living in the UK for a while now. A special thanks to the guys at Alans BMX in the UK for getting the Oskars sorted with his parts.

Back in early December of last year, we spent five days in Adelaide, South Australia riding a bunch of spots along with a few parks with the locals and this is the end result.

This was all to promote the up coming Vans / Colony shoe collaboration collection being released worldwide, in March this year.

Filmed by: Clint Millar, Cooper Brownlee, Ryan Guettler, Mick Bayzand, Tom Stretton and Zac Miner.

Edited by Cooper Brownlee.

This was a bit of an un-planned 10 clips as we just happen to hit up this park one afternoon whilst in Brisbane and Brock got keen. We only had one camera hence why it’s all filmed with fish but Brock produced…

Broc Raiford has been filming for an Odyssey Vision edit the past few days & filming is going well so far. The snapshot below is of Broc having a bit of fun fast planting over one of his mates in downtown Baton Rouge.

Photo thanks to Francis Delapena from Odyssey.
