Here is a little video Ryan put together from his recent trip to Rotterdam with Josh Harrington & friends.
In Ryan’s words, ‘We went to Rotterdam for 4 days to film for Colony and Still Searchin’ and these are the left over clips so we put them together for a small web edit.’
Yo yo !!
Paddy rides for Colony over in Germany, if you would like to learn a little bit more about the man, check out the quick Q&A below…
What are you up to today?
I’ve been riding a demo at a kids festival in Hamburg/Germany.
Tell us something about yourself people probably don’t know…
I believe in god but I am not religious at all, it’s just between me & him. it’s cool to send a little prayer everyday to say thanks or if he could have an eye on my friends and loved ones and keep everyone save.
What’s the weather like there at the moment in Germany?
Spring is here and just told us that summer is on its way by spoiling us with lots of sunshine.
Any plans to travel any time soon?
I am working a lot to save up to visit Australia by the end of this year. I haven’t been there yet and I can’t wait to see the country and see the Colony family.
If someone asked you why they should come visit Germany what would you tell them?
There’s lots of history, beautiful girls, unique spots to ride and because Germany is a small country you’re able to visit another country in no time.
Chris was recently added to the flow team, then proceeded to bang out this rediculous wed edit. Read on for a little insight into his world.

Well its a nice sunny sunday so perfect! im gonna go riding with Troy Charlesworth and Nitai and hopefully get some photos and clips for a lil something we’ve been working on!
Have you always lived in Queensland?
Yeah I was born in Mackay then moved to Brisbane!
I would say you are more known for your park riding but lately it seems you have been riding a bunch of street, what has been the motivation behind that?
I guess it was just something that I really didnt ride much and just started playing around with skatepark street sections! I find it alot of fun going out and trying to find something cool to ride but yeah, I do love riding skateparks.

My family has a sweet beach house on a island haha!
You went to the states last year to ride, what was your best memory from that trip?
Probably a road trip to Orlando, Florida I did with two friends, Brandon Cristie and Josh Perry! Just was a real fun trip got to ride a fair bit and got a sweet hook up into Disney World which was amazing!
Any plans to travel overseas again this year?
I’m heading off to China for the Asian X Games at the end of May then back over to America for a few months! It’s coming up soon so getting pretty excited!
This photo is of Zac Miner from the recent trip we did from Brisbane to Canberra, wallride from bowl to bowl. I guess you could say this is Zac’s local park as he seems to know all the lines when you watch him ride there.
Richo recently went up to the Maryborough trails and filmed a fun little session from the day.

After a solid few days of riding some really good spots in Sydney, we are now in Canberra for a few days. Really looking forward to what stuff we find here & will post some news up in the next days.
Yo yo !!
Valvo sent us over a couple photos from a new park that has opened up in Brazil near his house, looks awesome fun! I wish they would build one like this near me.
We popped down to Above All bike store and hung out for a while on the weekend as Julian had recently moved the store to Engadine. After the shop we hit up helensburgh park for the jam which coincided with the shop opening, there were plenty of riders there and all was going well until the weather set in and put a stop to the session. I think everyone still had a good time though. Thanks to Julian at Above All for putting on the day.
Ryan is next on the list, read on and learn a little more about him…
What are you up to today?
I just got back last night from Vegas there was a small dirt comp but I didn’t enter because of the wind and hurt my foot abit. Today I woke up went for a road bike ride because its nice and sunny then I cleaned the backyard and got all the pine cones off the ramp. Now I’m just doing emails till people show up to ride !!!
Ryan, you only spend a month or so back here in Australia, do you wish you could spend more time here?
Of course I do I love Australia but I feel like right now I have a chance to travel the world and ride with the worlds best. I grew up in Aus for 18 years and now I’m seeing the world and later I’ll always come back home but for now I’m trying to make the most of it this can’t last forever.
Best thing about living in the states?
Maybe living in a town with all the guys I had posters of riding BMX like Mirra ,Mackay and Ali Whitton. Things are alot cheaper here and lot more riding spots are nice.
Best thing about living in Oz?
Such real people, all my mates rock. My family is there too.
Tell us something about yourself people probably don’t know…
People know a far bit about me because of that damn internet so heres a few more…
1. My brother could easily be a bodybuilder. Last time I saw him he leg press 1200kg and that night he slammed my head in to a brick wall hahaha (no joke)
2. I’m scared of heights. Over the years I’ve got better with it but most of the time when I’m on a tall roll in I have to look only at my front wheel, if I look over the side ill clam up.
3. Some of the people who use to baby sit me include Tim Wood and Clint Millar.
4. Me and Ali Whitton do kick boxing twice a week in Greenville.
5. I got done doing 75 in a 35 speed zone and the cop let me off because I said I was on my way to play golf with Dave Mirra.
6. I’m 75% blind in my right eye from my brother whipping me with a towel when I was 5 for 2 years I had a pirates patch over my eye.
7. I worked at McDonalds for three years and got employee of the month twice and that’s how I paid for my first trip to America BITCH!
It was a long and fairly un-eventful drive down from Coffs Harbour, most the time in our van was spent playing Dice. Even as I type this some of the crew are playing right now. Below some of the guys were getting in a few quick rounds in between clips.
Some of the team is up here in Brisbane to ride for a few days before we head down to Sydney for a road trip, we have been having a bunch of fun riding some spots but the injury list is growing! Hopefully we can heal up before we get on the road. Mick with a launch flyout at a pretty fun spot.
