After leaving his previous sponsor recently, I could not give up the opportunity to have Tom on Colony. I have always been a fan of his riding, so tech & original. Tom is a totally cool person as well & as such will fit on the team perfectly. He will also start work soon on a web edit, so keep an eye out for that.
Welcome aboard mate !!
Thanks to Steve Morrisey at Ride On for the pic.

Had a fun day of riding yesterday, first met up with Alex & Peta & then headed down to Matt King’s new backyard ramp to have a roll with him & Toby. The session got cut short with some showers so we headed north to Beenleigh for some dry weather. It was a good chilled session & I snapped this pic of Alex with a picture perfect Beenleigh sunset in the background. Gotta love BMX.

Paddy informed me that he can’t make it to the worlds this weekend in Cologne but he will be in Mexico for some demos. Last time the worlds were in Cologne was back in 2004 & Paddy won the Mini Ramp title then. It’s a shame that he can’t be back there. I wish I was also over there this weekend but it’s not meant to be. Cologne is always such a great time.
In the meantime, Paddy sent in a pic from a session on german legend, Axel Reichertz backyard ramp & of a demo Paddy did jumping a car. Word.

Paddy Gross sent me an email on what he has been up to of late, read on below.
I’ve just got back from the Vans “Let it Ride” European tour and the Vans “BMX Chess” contest in Switzerland last weekend which was pretty fun. I got third place tie with Bruno Hoffmann with my Colony machine and it seems like there is a lot people who ride Colony parts. Dude seriously, there have been so much riders with Colony parts, it’s been awesome to see that. Also a lot of guys been stoked on my bike. Good thing I went there, had a good time and I think it’s been good that a Colony rider showed up, the kids been stoked. Achim was there as well, he was one of the judges and was riding the miniramp, its always good to see him ride you know.
Well I am preety much getting ready for the next things, tomorrow I am going to ride a demo in huge amusement park here in Germany and on Friday I am heading to Cologne for the People’s Store Jam at the North Brigade skatepark.
Cheers, Paddy.
