Clint was fortunate enough to have his operation last night and things went as well as they could so that’s good news.
The rest of us went out today and rode the best ditch I have ever ridden in my life. Fun was had, alot of water was drunk and clips were filmed! The photo below is from a spot we hit yesterday which is one of those million in one spots (we have hit a few of them this week) the tree roots have lifted this sidewalk up enough to have a good pop for riders to shred it. Tom gets his game on…
Today Mick Bayzand, Zac Miner, Cooper Brownlee, Tom Stretton & myself are off to the USA for Interbike & then a week long riding trip in & around Cali. Should be a blast. Expect reports from the road while were there.

Broc Raiford scored himself an all expenses paid trip to the Salt Lake City Dew Tour from the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Video Contest. He will be there competing with other Free Flow winners this weekend, for a spot in the Dew Tour finals in Vegas later this year. Good luck Broc !!
The photo below was taken via iPhone at 5am from the airport… gotta love those early morning flights. You can check out his winning video entry below. Broc will also be joining us on our Cali trip in a week or so.
Yo yo !!
Always looking forward to this each year & this year will be no exception. Maybe the last one in Vegas since Interbike is set for Anaheim next year? Mick Bayzand, Zac Miner, Cooper Brownlee, Tom Stretton, Ryan Guettler & myself will all be there this year. We have a team trip set for a week or so after Vegas as well. Can’t wait. If you see us there come up & say hi.

Our rider in Russia, Oleg Alexandrov put some work in for this short edit for Carhartt. Check it out. Those rails look like so much fun.

Bruno Faucon wrote to say he won a motorbike recently at a comp in France for winning a best trick contest. Nice one mate !! The event looks like it was a blast with hundreds of people crowding around street spots as the riders killed it.
Yo yo !!
Broc Raiford comes through with yet another impressive edit from two days riding in & about New Orleans. Broc can pretty do anything it seems, I am stoked on this edit. Enjoy !! Filmed & edited by Andrew Sanford.

Our flow rider from Sweden, Jens Kahstrom recently got himself a new truck in the way of a Chevy S10 & thought it would be cool to jump it in full ’80’s style. Check it out.
Yo yo !!
Broc Raiford scored his first photo in the latest Ride BMX magazine that just came out. Pretty awesome photo & we’re stoked for Broc. Broc will be attending our West Coast Cali roadtrip coming up after Interbike in a few weeks. Should be good times for sure.

Well today went off without a hitch, everyone seemed to have a good time and the crew you see below were the top three after all was said and done! New flow rider Liam Zingbergs came in first along with Daniel Johnson (right) second and Macca (left) in third. Daniel Johnson also won best trick. Thanks to everyone who came out for the event and to everyone who made it possible. The next King of the Jibs will be in Brisbane on the 9th-10th of October later this year.
Valvoline sent in a quick update on what he has been up too of late. He recently went on a small trip to the south of Brazil in Florianópolis. He has also been working with Marcelo from Dream BMX building a hot rod as you can see in the photo below. He is also working on a fresh new web edit for us, so keep an eye out for that one.
Yo yo !!
South Australian shredder Liam Zingbergs recently got added to the flow team, you can now check his bio out here, long long nosey…
Our flow rider from the UK, Jonny Devine was in Australia a couple of months ago with some of his crew. They made a fun edit from there time here, good vibe in this…
Danny Heng has been added to our international flow team with the helps of the good folks at Twenty Inch Circle in Singapore. If you’re in Singapore, Malaysia or any other surrounding countries in the area, make sure you contact Simon at Twenty Inch as they will look after you with all things Colony.
Cooper Brownlee recently invested in a Canon 7D & this is the first trial edit with his new toy. Look our for a few clips from both Cooper & Marnold. Enjoy !!
Yo yo !!
Jens Kahlstrom our flow rider from Sweden, sent in a quick update to say he will heading to the Summer Session in Helsinki, Finland on August the 13th. You can click here for full details on the event. That park course looks fun for sure.
Yo yo !!
We have been out and about alot lately rolling around town here in Melbourne. Quite a famous spot this one. Marnold was psyched to learn new moves…
Liam Zingbergs has been riding for Colony through his local store Little Black Bike for a while now but we recently decided to make it official and put Liam on the flow team. Keep an eye out for a team page in the near future along with no doubt some solid edits from this young street shredder. This edit from nine months ago is pretty rad also.
The other night we went over to an indoor mini setup that Pete Radivo frequents and he killed it! You may remember this recent edit we did with Pete at the same place. This superman seat grab is rediculous, the spine is maybe 4 and a half foot high. Nice!
It might be sunny all year round up in Colony HQ land, Queensland. But down south here in Melbourne we sometimes have to retreat to the indoors to escape the rain. Last weekend we had a real fun session at a skater built spot (no beef here as far as I know). It works both ways you see. They skate spots we build and vice versa. Here are a couple photos from the day of myself and Marnold. Thanks to Sam Illman for pressing the button on my photo.
This is our most recent advert which is currently on the back of the new issue of Focalpoint. Marnold riding an amazing spot with no run-up.
Thanks to Stu Munro for sending this photo over of Tom Stretton from the weekend whilst they were out rolling. Be on the look out for more on Stretton in the coming months.
