Liam Vance is hooked up with Colony through our UK distributor, Table Top Distribution. Here is a quick edit on some riding he did in an hour at his local park, Rampworx. Liam is 13 years old & shows some good skills for his age. Keen to see how he progresses over the years to come.

Broc Raiford puts some work in over two days for this park edit from Baton Rouge. As always Broc delivers with some solid riding with his own style. Filming & editing by Andrew Sanford.

Yet another news post relating to Liam Zingbergs, this time it’s a little feature he has in an Adelaide magazine that seems to have nothing to do with BMX but it looks cool to me! Spotted via Little Black Bike and Primary Threads.
This one of Marnold is from a couple months ago. Thanks to Daniel Johnson for the photo.
Spotted a few cool photos of Liam Zingbergs in the recent photobook by James Wade. Basically if you wanted to see what’s been going on in South Australia you should check this out.
Our flow rider Attila Godi from Hungary hit me up with this web edit he recently made. Attila tells me it’s snowing over there so not much riding going on, I don’t think I could handle living anywhere near snow.
Zac Miner sent over a few photos from the USA trip we took a couple of months ago. Zac stayed on over there for a couple weeks after most of us left. He was stoked on these photos as they all remind him of good stories from the trip. It’s summer, everyone should be out road tripping!
This one is of Marnold at the Lilydale bowl jam that went down on Friday night in Melbourne.
Henrique Castro recently put together a new bike & wanted to try out Mick Bayzand’s Teddy frame for something different & loves it so far. Looking good in Red Storm with the Chrome bars. Thanks to Marcelo at Dream BMX our distro in Brazil, for helping Valvo out.

Tom shot me an email about a little mission he took recently…
The other day we went to shoot a new add for Afray. Was heaps of fun from the get go as Mikey hopped out of the car with Raph and a carton of goldies in hand. Was a great recipe for nothing to get done but we got a few tight shots. Was a heaps fun afternoon with Big Brenno, Nitai, Mikey and Raph all coming out for a good time! Just wanted to say thanks heaps to those boys for making my afternoon! I think the ad is for the new 2020 so until then heres a few photos from the day. Just a few of us chillin and one of how you definitely dont want to fall off a ledge haha. She’ll be right mate.
Valvo sent us an email about a trip he recently took to south Brazil Santa Catarina,Blumenau. Riding a bunch of parks with friends. From the photos he sent though it seems to have been a fun trip. Valvo also got a new bike this week so we will have a bike check up from him soon aswell.
Pete Radivo has always been one of my favourite riders out there & he is still very much killing it doing his own thing. Pete scores our splash page for the next while now along with our Contour rims available now.

Our flow rider from Germany Paddy Gross travels alot and always emails in a nice story/update for us. Read on about Paddys travels to India and Romania along with future trip plans to the USA and Australia!
“I´ve been able to ride my bike at lots of different places in the last couple month and being on the road with and because of that little bike is always a blast and i am just thankful BMX takes me around so much and i am having a chance to meet the world preety much. after being to india for 10 days i went to romania for a contest and some demos. it´s been my first real street contest ever and i really enjoyed doing the things in a contest which i am not doing so much at all, the more i was surprised taking second place, haha good times. first place went to italien simone barraco and he´s the control in person, good tricks and good style this boy has. right after romania i went for the vans “let it ride” tour in portugal and there will be another edit of our “lisbon” crew in the net soon. the vans trip ended up with the rebeljam in portimao and for everyone who´s been at a rebeljam before knows how laid back this contest is even if over a 100 riders just in pro class participate. i was taking it easy and just did the things i felt save with because after 8 days on the road before i was feeling a little out of shape. the guy who impressed me the most on that weekend was tood meyn from australia. never heard of that guy and boom i got slapped in the face with a huge amount of unbelievable tricks performed like it was not even a struggle plus he´s an awesome dude on top of that. well after portugal i went home and straight to work for a week before i left to cologne to ride demos for sony at a photo tradshow. the demo format was the craziest i´ve ever ridden, 3 teams split into 2 BMX guys and 1 skateboarder, a tiny miniramp in the middle of a huge sony booth and each team had to ride a whole hour 3 times a day. there were the newest cameras set up next to the ramp, so the people could try them right on the spot and that was the reason that there had to be movement on the ramp for the whole day. so after 6 days of doing that my body was like: ” hey do ya need me any longer or can i take off for vacation? ” at the end it´s been a good time with my mates and nobody got hurt. after cologne i flew over to belgium to ride demos at a metalcore festival which is taking place every year and it´s crazy because they always built up a huge skatepark with everything you need to have fun just for a couple demos. since i am listening to a lot of metalcore i felt comfortable riding my bike with lots of screaming in the background haha. well after belgium i went home again to get some work done and to chill out for a couple days and hang out with my mates in my local skatepark, sometimes it´s good to be home. so now the contest season is taking a break over here and i am enjoying riding my bike and trying out new things. i am slowly getting ready for the USA in december to spent x-mas and new years eve with my mom and my best friends family where i used to live for 3 years in portland, oregon. my savings for australia are done and soon i will book my ticket, can´t wait to finally sit in the plane to come over. on all the trips i´ve done in the last time a lot of people and kids ask me about colony, and i was fulfilled with happiness and proud to say that colony is making my dream come true with having one of my best friends taking care of me, having a perfect bike and being a part of an amazing team/family. all of these trips, good times and feeling awesome on my bike wouldn´t be possible without colony. thanks a lot for helping me living my dream.” cheers! paddy
A couple weeks ago Broc won the high air contest and the best trick at a new park that just opened up near his house, High air was at 9ft and the best trick was a 540 air bars and a flair invert, nice! From what I can see the place looks rad!
