Simon O’Brien is in Japan & sent in a quick update on his trip so far… read on below.

I arrived in Japan on friday, a little bit colder here than back home, but it’s still great to be here. The following day was the G-Shock invite contest….I didnt win but was still happy with how I rode for the first comp back on the international circuit for sometime. It was great to catch up with great friends and some of the best riders in the business! 430 Clothing and G-Shock did an amazing job!

The last couple of days I have been chilling, checking the sights and checked out a 350 year old bonsai!

Thanks – Simon.

I have known Tobias Wicke for years now & have always admired his riding. He is such a good guy to hang out with as well. This video was very impressive in all counts. Just gotta love the front brakes. Tobias doesn’t ride for us as such but we have flowed him some parts from time to time. Posting this video just because it’s awesome.

A couple of days ago we spent the afternoon riding Hibiscis park here in Brisbane and filming a ten clips edit with Valvo. He came through with the goods so be on the look out for the web video over the coming weeks, incase you missed it Valvo had a bike check up last week.

Ryan Guettler was our first team rider on Colony back when the brand was first formed & it’s fitting that he finally has his own signature frame out with us. The Living is out now in Colony dealers around the planet. Click here to check it out a little closer.

In other Ryan news… he will be back in good old Brisbane for a few days at the end of this month. He will join us on our team trip down to Adelaide to help promote our up coming Vans collaboration shoes due out in March.

Micky sent in some words about his experience, thanks to Shaun Jarvis for the photos.

“Thanks to Shaun Jarvis and the rest of the squad for evading the air space and launching a full on squad assault hahaha that’s for you Jarv. It’s been an awesome time and I have meet and ridden with some great people. I really look forward to heading back over and doing some more shows. Hope you enjoy the photos.”

Cooper Brownlee has been graced with his first signature product in the way of his own bars. Aptly named because if you know Cooper, you know that his life is BMX 24/7. He never stops. Whether it’s behind the camera, in front of the camera, behind the laptop & on the bike. Cooper lives & breathes BMX. It’s for this reason we all love him.

Measuring in at 8.75″ high, 29.5″ wide with 12 degrees back sweep & 1 degree of up sweep, the Twenty Four Seven Bars should tick all the right boxes. Check them out at your nearest Colony dealer in Australia & the USA now with other countries very soon.

On December 3rd, 2011 almost the entire Colony team will be in Adelaide, South Australia. It’s all to help promote the up coming Vans / Colony collaboration shoe release. There will be two new models based off the Vans Wylie & Vans Milo shoes with Colony artwork. These will be out in March next year.

Ryan Guettler, Alex Hiam, Zac Miner, Mick Bayzand, Cooper Brownlee, Tom Stretton, Liam Zingbergs, Brock Olive, Valvo & myself will be there.

We will be having an in-store at Little Black Bike at 1pm & then a ride at the city park at 3pm. Come along, meet the team, get some freebies & then let’s all have a ride. Should be a great day.

Yo yo !!

Some hammers in this for sure! Brock Olive edit for his shop sponsor LUX.

Shane Badman sent in an email about what he has been up to of late…

“After having my arm operation in May to get some issues worked out (I had my bionic, Terminator style arm installed), I’ve been keeping things on the downlow while it’s been healing up. As any rider knows, downtime seriously sucks. When you see all of your mates and everyone around you riding and you can’t… it’s tough! But I’ve been keeping busy with the store over at Newcircle and have done a few interviews on BMXflatlandAustralia and Offline Magazine out of Hungary which was super awesome.

Since I’ve slowly started to ride again in the past few weeks I’ve also been doing a few demos. I did one at the Bike and Lifestyle show in Brisbane and more recently got one done at a company called H2 Insurance Solutions for a launch party. The H2 Insurance gig was awesome – the guy Jason Holmes that runs it is fully down with BMX and action sports and is the guy who does the insurance for Travis Pastrana’s Nitro Circus when it tours Aus and also monster trucks. Stoked that I’m riding again haha!!”

Yo yo !!

If you have a copy of the latest 2020 then you would have seen this advert we did with Zac promoting his new frame. It was actually the wedding parties idea for the photo, they loved it.

Two for the price of one… spotted over on Focalpoint.

Yo yo !!

… but for anyone that knows me, knows that I like old school VW Type 3 Squareback’s. This here is one fine specimen.

Yo yo !!

We had a pretty good day riding around yesterday. Valvo, Peta, Alex & myself rode a few of the various parks here in Brisbane & had a great time while doing so. Check out a few random pics from the day below, good times.
