Both Alex Hiam & Chris Courtenay will be at the Monster Skate Park in Sydney Olympic Village today from 3pm till 6pm. They riding & hanging out as part of the Sony Xperia trip they have been on the past few weeks. If you’re in the area, get yourself there to ride with & meet the guys.
Yo yo !!
It looks like the guys are having a ball on this trip, follow Sony on Facebook for constant updates and videos. Here is the latest one where both the guys kill it riding Nambucca Heads park.
Alex Hiam has been having a blast travelling around with Chris Courtenay on the Sony Xperia trip & sent in a few random pics for all to enjoy.
Yo yo !!
Alex shot through a quick update from the first day of the Sony Xperia trip that he is on with Chris. We will keep you updated on everything that goes on but you can also keep live updates here.
Both Alex and Chris were invited on a pretty cool roadtrip with Sony Xperia which starts today, you can follow all the updates here.
I thought it would be good to get all the guys from our Woodward West adventure to give everyone a few good memories from the trip. It seems the guys had the same feeling I had which was that everyone instantly gelled together like we had known everyone for years. Have a read, watch the web video and if your hyped on it help us out and go here to vote for it. Thanks!
Ryan
– Bloody Chris Courtenay doing his hangfive to foot jam drop in, to me it was so crazy, so high and so smooth.
– Driving there in the RV and getting two flats in one day, spending the night in a random small town and riding there local park and going to the movies by myself. Got everything fixed the next day and driving to camp to meet up with everyone. Random 24 hours haha.
Peta Shepherd
– Me trying for hours to land a new trick, 270 footjam tail whip, and one of the awesome campers Kaden Weaver staying there the whole time watching me land it. He was even cool enough to bring me a bottle of water.
Seeing Alex win everyone’s money at dice. Haha.
Clint Millar
– Getting to meet for the first time, some of the new guys on the team – Jourdan Barba, Bobbie Altiser & Brandon Van Dulken. All of which are freaking awesome guys. They fit in with everyone else so well. Stoked.
– Woodward is an awesome place to hang there with all the campers and just ride everyday was perfect. Pitty I injured my hand only a few days into it but good times none the less. Thanks to all my team riders, all the campers & Woodward staff for making this such a good trip.
Paddy Gross
– Ryan being so patient and relaxed after all of the tires on his RV gave up one after another. I was really impressed that he kept smiling and made the best out of it.
– Meeting Bobbie, Jourdan and Brandon was awesome and seeing Bobbie pulling a quad nosepick tailwhip was one moment where I couldn’t find the right “yeah” to justify what I’d witnessed.
– One of the campers (who also lives in Portland) came up and said “you guys don’t act like pros, you act like friends” was a huge compliment and it made me appreciate my teammates even more and it remembered me when I first met the everyone on the team in 2011 for the tour. Everyone felt like being friends for years.
Jourdan Barba
– My best memories from Woodward would be how stoked the kids were to ride with us, it was awesome shredding and teaching them new grinds to try! Also how much of a lady’s man lil Alex is, he probably got 10 kisses on the cheek without trying haha.
Bobbie Altiser
– Bonding with all of you and feeling so welcome. Also, the campers were great. Can’t forget learning about sneaky finger and Australian cee-lo!!
Alex Hiam
– My best memories were playing this game with Ryan when we see a stranger we don’t know we pretend we know them and call out “Kevin” Or “crazy Kev from AFL” until they look and try and convince them that we knew them.
It was also amazing to chill with the team again, always a pleasure to hang with Ryan, Stretto, Millar, Coops, Paddy and everyone that I don’t usually get to see!! It was also rad to meet three new amazing friends and additions to the Colony family, Bobbie, Jourdan and Brandon.
Chris Courtenay
– Straight up when bobbie just comes hammering down the hanger and sends a flair out of nowhere! From doing a quad whiplash (nosepick whatever Clint calls them) haha but he just proved himself more of a legend than he already was!
– The kid who told all the girls he was Alex’s best mate to pick up girls! Hahaha gold.
Brandon Van Dulken
– It was awesome meeting and getting to know everybody! Great vibes with great people. Can’t ask for much more.
Tom Stretton
– My best memories would have to be just meeting the new guys on the team. Jourdan, Bobbie and Brandon. They are all ridiculously good on the bike and even better people off it. Was almost as though you had known them for years.
– Also watching Bobbie just huck flairs after only just trying them into the pit a couple of times one night. Dude is a maniac haha. Was awesome!
A big congrats goes out to Alex Hiam for graduating from high school & attending his formal this week. So stoked for you mate & I know the years ahead are going to be full of many awesome things for you. It makes me proud that Colony can provide many of these for you as well, yew !! Good times ahead for sure.
Yo yo !!
Alex shot through an update along with some bangin’ photos from Reigan Degney…
“My ankles is all healed which is amazing and I have had no problems with it since!! I also just finished school forever, so now I can finally ride pretty much everyday!! I have been filming with Coops a lot lately for my new edit and should be out soon!!
Just as I was thinking to myself how good of a run Alex was having with injuries this year he goes and tears his ligaments in one of his ankles…
I was riding GC Compound all night on Sunday and then at the end of the session I decided to have a little skate. I tried to jump the mini spine and rolled my ankle and turns out I tore the ligaments in my ankle !!!
Stupid me trying to skate haha, I should just stick to bmx !!! I will be back in about 3 weeks hopefully !!!
Billy Gecsek was our winner of the 2013 Sweet Tooth Frame promo we did with Vital BMX recently. Billy picked up his new frame from the guys at Mainly BMX in Geelong who were nice enough to build it up for him. Alex Hiam even signed the frame as well. To say Billy is stoked is an understatement. Enjoy the new frame Billy !!
