Our rider from Poland, Michal Mycek is over in Barcelona right now on a filming trip & he is a little teaser for what is to come from the trip.

Brock spent four days in Melbourne over the weekend filming with me for an upcoming web video. Besides a bit of rain everything worked out and Brock destroyed a few spots. The switch ice he is doing in the photo is on a pretty famous rail in Melbourne and it was crazy having all the kids from the school next to it chanting at Brock whilst we filmed. Here are some words from the man himself…

“Hey all just got back from Melbs Monday night from a little weekend trip to hang out and finish off a web edit me and Cooper have been working on and yeah it all went sweet, had a blast can’t wait to see what the edit turns out like. Peace.”

It was leaked a couple times last week for those that were savy on their website news but it is official, Broc Raiford is moving on from us here at Colony.

It’s sad to see him go but it’s all on the very best of terms. Like all things in life, things do change. I personally would like to publicly thank Broc for his efforts over the past few years. We were his first sponsor & helped build his reputation & image out there in the BMX world to what it is today. It’s been amazing to have watched Broc turn into the amazing bike rider he is & I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

As Broc’s last rep for Colony, he went to the Toronto BMX Jam on the weekend & placed an impressive 8th in pro park. Congrats.

We have also done up a little farewell edit for Broc using clips he collected for his section in The Colony DVD from last year. Thanks for the good times mate.

Late last year while we were down in Adelaide for a team trip, both Ryan & Valvo filmed for this joint ten clips. The guys had a blast doing so & it shows in the riding. Both were in their element on these trails, check it out.

Crossley Cycles are one of Australia’s OG BMX shops & still going strong after all these years. Over 30 years to be precise. They recently joined the 21st century & have a full blown website & online store now. The store is ever expanding with more & more products added but you can now order directly from it & pay online as well. A really cool feature they have is a pay & collect in store option. Check them out now by clicking here.

Alex Hiam also rides for Crossley’s so you know they are down with BMX & supporting riders out there. Speaking of Alex, he recently just had surgery on his leg & is on the slow road to recovery. He should be back riding in a few months all going to plan.

Brock has been in Melbourne the past couple of days, so far it’s been pretty productive when it’s not raining. We are filming for an up and coming Colony web video which should be solid as a rock!

Chris Courtenay & Troy Charlesworth have been putting some work in the last few days for an up coming edit they are both working on. I met up with them yesterday for a roll down the Gold Coast & snapped a couple shots along the way. Look out the edit in the next couple of weeks, from what I have seen so far it should be banging.

Peta Shepherd is over in Canada for the Toronto BMX Jam & is having a ball. She also got to meet up with Broc Raiford whilst he was at JoyRide150 as well. She sent in this quick little update, read on below…

Just a little update on my Canada trip. I’m having the best time, everyone’s really awesome over there. I’ve been riding joyride150 a lot, probably the best park I’ve ever ridden, and it’s bikes only, No scooters ever!! I had prelims yesterday for Toronto Jam and managed to qualify first. Today I got asked to enter the girls freestyle mountain bike comp, so I did. I’ve never even ridden one before, but somehow got first haha. Won $175. Pretty stoked with that. Tomorrow I have finals for BMX and maybe another MTB bike comp. – Peta.

Peta & Broc.

I’m flying out to Toronto on Monday for a Toronto jam and a two week stay riding around. So excited for it. And these are just some Photos Ange took over the past weekend.”

Liam recently got back from a three week trip in the USA…

“Hey guys me again, just a quick update. I just recently returned to OZ after a long stay in Cali. I spent all my time in long beach staying at the OSS house with my boy Tim, I could not believe how many spots there were, it was a pleasant change from what I’m used to haha. We met lots of awesome people who made the stay extra fun! As Millar would say I now have the travel bug as I’m itching to get back on a plane and do it all again thanks to Adam and everyone else who made our stay so pleasant. I’m off to Brisbane in a week or two so if you see me out and about come say hey. Until then, stay trill.”

Ryan has moved over to California now & is living right by the Sheep Hills trails. He has been digging there of late so he took some Go Pro footage running the lips in. Looks like fun.
