More Queenstown…

Dropped by the public trails here in Queenstown, New Zealand today & they look really good. We were here a few years ago with the team & the trails have progressed so much since then. So many lines it looks really fun. It’s pretty cool that these are council backed & endorsed. They even pay someone to keep them in top condition. If only more councils were this behind trails around the world.

Yo yo !!

Queenstown…

Right now I am over in New Zealand in Queenstown on a little holiday. I was here a few years ago with the team & we rode the park in town. It has been completely changed since then & I snapped these iPhone shots today. Keen to come over one day again for sure, looks fun as.

Yo yo !!

Happy Australia Day !!

New bike for Tobias…

When all round German good guy, Tobias Wicke emailed me saying he would like to ride some Colony parts I was stoked. I have known Tobias for a long time now & have always looked up to his riding as well. Such a legend. I was stoked to see he chose a Teddy frame as his frame of choice packed along with plenty of our parts as well. Pretty much almost an all Colony bike. Thanks for the support Tobias, enjoy the new bike !!

Flood crisis…

Right now here in Brisbane, Australia there is a looming flood crisis at levels that have not been since the disastrous floods of 1974. Over the coming days, it is set to surpass those records set 36 years ago. My thoughts go to all those effected by this natural disaster. Already, lives have been tragically lost & let’s hope there are no more. I wish everyone the best in the days ahead.
