Long time good friend of mine Glennie, just got back from his own little solo mission up north QLD & rode some cool spots, one being the amazing mini ramp you see here below at Woodgate. Glen said there were kangaroos right beside the ramp as you can in the pics & the beach right there as well, sounds like a dream come true. Will have to venture on up there soon I think. Glen also put together an alternative bike fully equipped with front brakes & 4 pegs… yeah !!

Ryan recently bought some news wheels… not the norm for him but looking pretty stylish. Read on below on what he had to say about them…
I got so pumped in France on their scooters that when I got back to Greenville I brought 3 of them to race around town on to save on fuel. Yhey cost $2.50 to fill up and will do 130 miles, hahaha. So crazy. We’re getting bike racks built on them and soon they all will be painted soon. Theres the NYRM one and theres going to be a Colony one and a Beenleigh Bandits one too, hahaha sooo sweet. Here is 2 out of the 3 we got. – Ryan.

There’s been a bit going on around here. Had a pretty wild weekend seeing as though the long weekend just been, means your allowed to buy fireworks in Canberra. Copped a firework to the ear from my housemate Thomas, apparently I bit him or something ha! Then on Monday went paint balling, which was awesome. We all def came out with some bruises. I lost a bet to Puniard and had to take a paintball to bare skin from 5 metres away… stinging a little today, haha. Nick Gascoine was in town so we shot a few things… here’s some filla I guess 🙂 Hope all is good – Zac.

Yesterday morning I went up in a hot air balloon for the first time with my Mum, Sister, her boyfriend & my girlfriend, Niki for Mother’s Day & my sisters birthday. It is so peace full up there & was an amazing experience & something that I will not forget anytime soon. The view was amazing & it’s such a different feeling to flying in a plane. It feels so natural. We even saw some kangaroos in the field when we were landing. Oh, & the big news is I also popped the question to my girl & she said yes. Stoked.

Zac Miner recently went to China for the Asian X Games in Shanghai. It was his first time overseas & he said it was an experience for sure, read on below…
Hey mate…
China was good and bad, as far as traveling overseas for the first time it was pretty crazy, there are so many people in Shanghai. The city is huge and caotic. I got to hang out with a heap of new people, Kym Grosser and Eric Holley were super cool and I hung out with them a heap.
As far as the comp went, I was all sweet in practice and come qualifying I rode terrible, I sucked! Just couldnt put it together and it kinda made the trip a bit of a downer because of it. Sorry mate, didn’t rep Colony the best this time.
The people that made finals rode well, Grosser did some amazing stuff. Garret is on a level of his own and definately deserved first. Maybe you’ll see some more photos somewhere? Here are a couple pics I ripped off Kym.

I first meet him way back in 2000 at the Worlds in Koln. Since then I have ridden & hung out with him on many occasions & they they have always been a blast. I am proud to have Paddy a part of the Colony family.

Ryan sent me a quick email on his recent travels… enjoy.
I’m sitting at LAX airport waiting to fly to Greenville, I was just in Japan for the last week because I had to do a Vans demo for the US military with Colin Mackay, Bucky, Coco, Scotty Cranmer and Josh Boarding.
It turned out to be really fun, there was a crazy flu scare so the plane ride was a bit scary but we got there safe. Nate Wessel built a sweet set up with a 10-foot box, which was rad. The demos went really good with every one riding well and the troops seemed to love it but there were lot of calls for the “BACKIE”. There was a Vans filmer so keep and eye out for a pod cast from Vans.
We also got to go around and look at the jets, aircraft carrier and some subs, really crazy to see in person SO big. After 4 days of demos we got 2 days off so we split to Tokyo and did some shopping and sight seeing. I brought some weird gadgets that you will only find in Japan ones is the little cube sound box for ipod, it’s the size of a bottle cap but super loud and I also got a watch that took me about an hour to read the time but looks sick, hahaha.
Tokyo is like another plant every one is like 4 foot tall and speak almost no English at all so it was hard to get a Jack and Coke. They also don’t like tattoos, so I stood out real bad. We would get on the train and I’d see people whispering or just straight up point at me, pretty crazy. So I got a long sleeve t-shirt.
It’s good to be almost home I going to finish up the web edit on the backyard ramps and start building up a new bike.
