Bayzand has been all over the place up north of late, here is the latest from Teddy.
Hey guys, it’s Mick again to let you know some more of what I’ve been up to. Kimberly and I sailed on a catamaran for a few days around the Whit Sundays. It was amazing. We woke up in the early hours of the morning to snorkel the reef. Underneath the surface the coral and fish were mind blowing. I’ve never seen so many crazy colours altogether. One day we even saw a whale breach the water, it was right out of a documentary. We got to go to White Haven beach. It’s by far the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. We walked up to the lookout where you could see the water and sand swirl together down below like a painting. It was unreal. By night we got to drink with the others on board and the crew. Thanks to the Skipper and crew for making it such a great trip, something we’ll remember for a very long time.
Cooper has a new oneclip over on the Focalpoint site with some front & rear brake action on my bike… guess I better learn some new tricks since he just did all 3 of mine… haha.

Our distributor in Spain, Promotions Otreal have been helping out a local rider there with Colony parts for a little while now.

Thanks to Tito for helping out Ruben.

This edit is made up of Cooper Brownlee’s left overs that didn’t make the cut from our DVD, check it out. If you haven’t seen our DVD yet, track yourself down a copy at any Colony retailer now.
Yo yo !!
We have now launched a retail online store where you can buy all our products except our complete bikes. With the age of the internet & the online store well upon us all, it was time we moved with the times & offered such a service ourselves.
We would still recommend that you buy from your local BMX shop if you have one in your area but use this retail online store (or any online store for that matter) when you do not have such a luxury of a local store near you.
This store will also serve as place where riders in countries that may not have Colony distribution can get our products easily as we will send to anywhere in the world. We will also from time to time, release special limited edition items on here that will only be available directly from us as well.
You can get to our retail online store by clicking the button to the right hand side of the site.

Flow rider from Latvia Oskars Zajarskis sent through a quick edit form his local park, some good moves in this and the park looks real fun.
Flow rider from Germany and good friend Paddy Gross sent in a bit of an update for everyone…
Hope all is good and everyone is having fun doing what you like to do. I am doing fine, still missing the good times I’ve had with all of ya. I am riding heaps of demos this month and right now I am writing this update from europeans biggest games convention tradeshow kinda thing where we’re playing our own game on our bikes. I am also having heaps of fun with my new bike and “The Living” frame works real good, loving it!
Besides riding demos, doing workshops and working in a porn store I am filming heaps for my next web edit which is going to with one of my best mates and a little less tailwhips haha, I love to do that trick but too much is too much. We’re going to make this edit also look like a little message for the kids outhere, just to give them an idea to do their own thing and don’t have to follow any trends to be a part of the BMX community, we’ve been filming for the last 2 months for it and it’s almost done. there’s some photos attached taken by a friend who loves to take photos, hope you’ll like them. ok that’s it for now, more soon! take care all of ya and stay happy’n healthy. cheers-Paddy.
The rescheduled Belconnen comp/jam is on for tomorrow, it looks to be good weather this time too. A big shout out to Backbone BMX for putting this one… should be a great day.
Yo yo !!
For those in the Brisbane area, it’s pretty obvious that the Core Series Final set for today at Morayfield is cancelled due to bad weather. The weather isn’t quite as bad as the pic below from the floods here earlier this year. Then, the park was completely flooded. Keep an eye here for news on a new date if it will be rescheduled.
Yo yo !!
Marnold, Chris Courtenay and Brock Olive have all recently had Oneclips in the Focalpoint clip a day series.
Ryan Guettler recently went to France for a dirt comp & he is there for a couple more weeks yet. Here is what he had so say…
Jet lagg could be one of the worst things to go through!! When every one is sleeping your wide awake looking at the clock watching the mins tick by and when every one is fresh and ready to ride your trying to hold your eyes open sucks so bad!!
Me and Jaie Toohey have been in south of france for 5 days now on our 2.5 week trip. Its been fun and we have meet up with alot of other riders, we are sharing a house with Cam white, Josh stead and Danny Jose (Hungry Monster rider) Staying in the house feels like when I had to stay at my grand mothers place no TV, no internet but we play lots of ping pong out side every night. Me and Jaie go to Mcdonalds for the wifi which is so slow, its been 30 mins so far on uploading theses pics and it may not happen i hope you guys get them.
I bought my video camera and have been filming every thing we get up to so look out for a video when i get home.
Yesterday was the Lords of Dirt comp. Very BIG jumps and huge roll in the pics do not show how big theses thing are. 9 foot lips and 15 foot landings. I came from dew tour very sore and a bad knee which needs rest but competed and just missed the finals, I had a rough time pumping the sets with a bad knee so gaining speed was so hard.
Josh stead rode well and did the run of the day ending with a double flip but it was 2 runs count so he ended up in 6th
Cam White rode solid and even flip superman seat grabbed the 2nd jump over 30 ft long and ended with 2nd place
Jaie Toohey killed the event every run was a winning run. He rode faster and higher then the rest and won the comp and placed 2nd in the best trick with a 360 triple whip!! Jaie looked at home on theses massive jumps the nitro circus really paid off.
This week we are doing Monster demos in the down town area then on the weekend is The VANS kill the line. Which is a comp in the woods with big jumps again I am really looking forward to this comp.
Yo yo !!
We met up with Mick at his local park Prahran to film his ten clips, the park is just on the out skirts of Melbourne city and definitely has its own unique feel, interesting characters around all day long but as kinda sketchy it may seem from first glance, everyone was real cool and down with what we were doing.
Mick had previously filmed an edit at the same park a month or so before hand so he wanted to make sure he got some new lines dialed in and some different moves to what you may expect to see from him.
Filmers: Cooper Brownlee (fisheye) Sam Illman & Flagz (long lens)

It was a hectic weekend just been with the tradeshow in-between both King of the Jibs and Slay the Rails. Here are a few images from the booth showing some of the 2012 colours and products. Available in October.
