Yesterday we set everything up for the Jibs on Saturday, we have alot more room this year so it’s going to work out good!

King of the Jibs 2 is on tomorrow at the Ausbike trade show at the Melbourne show grounds. As a re-cap here is the video from last year’s event for a little of what to expect tomorrow. We have 30 of the best street riders in the country there to battle it out for a share of the $1,500 prize money.

Mick continues to run wild in the bushlands of northern Queensland…

Hey all! It’s Mick here letting you guys know what other adventures I’ve been up to. Kimberly and I drove into Byfield National State Forest just outside of Rockhampton. We lived in the rainforest fending for ourselves for a good while. I have to say, this was probably one of the best parts of the trip so far. We hiked along the rocks of the creek and got ourselves lost in the forest. I got to free climb some pretty cool rock faces before leading us through our own trails. We spent our nights by the campfire drinking goon, and I carved myself a couple tools for survival. We really got in touch with the more primitive sides of life. We chilled with a couple of crazy looking frogs, a bilby, and some other kind of marsupial my girlfriend thinks is said to be extinct. It was pretty amazing a part from having to shower out of breakfast bowls, but that’s all part of living in a rainforest. Stay tuned for our next adventures. Peace.

One of the main newspapers here in Melbourne The Age, hit us up with a bit of an interview about King of the Jibs. This was published in the Sunday paper and I think they did alright with it, usually articles written by people who have no idea what BMX is about end up all tacky but this seems alright. Have a read and see you on Saturday…

On my way down to Melbourne for this weekends Ausbike trade show & the King of the Jibs 2 & dropped into Canberra yesterday to check out the new park at Belconnen. Met up with Zac & Tom with the Afray guys. Wow, so much stuff there in one park. Worth the drive down for sure. The Canberra locals are lucky to have such a different park to ride.

Yo yo !!

I am back in Melbourne at the moment and this weekend I hooked up with Marnold and CO, it was possibly the most productive weekend riding we have ever had here. Marnold killed everything we rode.

Thanks to DJ for the photos.

The Ausbike trade show is this weekend & we will have a stand there with all our 2012 products on display. Don’t forget the King of the Jibs comp is on Saturday the 20th August as well. See you there.

Ready to shred right out of the box are our pre-built Contour wheel sets in all our 2011 colours. Check them out at a dealer near you now or for more info click here now.

Guettler scored himself a spot in the finals at the Dew Tour in Portland with a 7th place finish in the park semis. It’s good to see Ryan back on his game after being out so long due to injuries. Good luck in the finals mate.

Photo jacked from the Dew Tour site.

The Core Series Grand Final for 2011 is set for August 27th at Morayfield skatepark. Should be a fun day for all involved, see you there.

Peta sent us in an update about her recovery from the crash she had a few months back…

I just wanted to let you guys know that I finally got my teeth fixed from when I crashed back in February filming for The Colony DVD. I would also like to say a big thanks to Clint for helping me out with the fundraiser tee and to anyone who bought one of the tee’s I appreciate it so much!

Next in the 10 Clips series of edits is Marnold. We had never lit up a spot in a school before so we didn’t know how it was going to go down. We waited until about 7pm rolled in there with all the gear set-up and it was game on. There was a cleaner floating about on the grounds but he didn’t seem fazed at all by what we were doing so maybe we got lucky that night.

Paddy Gross, our main man in Germany, gave us a disc with some left over footage he had laying around. Glen McLaughlin edited it into this little piece here, enjoy.

Our 2011 range of Pro complete bikes are ready to go right out of the box. Packed full of all our high end parts there is nothing you need to upgrade at all & the best thing is it works out cheaper than building up your own custom bike with all the same parts. You can choose from Teddy Pro, Sweet Tooth Pro, Rebirth Pro & Lowcut Pro. Check them all out at a Colony dealer near you now.

Slay the Rail 2 presented by Strictly BMX, is on in a couple weeks down in Melbourne & a bunch of our team have invites. Expect to see Marnold, Zac Miner, Mick Bayzand, Tom Stretton, Liam Zingbergs & Brock Olive there all shredding it. With $1,500 up for grabs you will see some great riding go down no doubt.

Should be a great weekend of Australian BMX with King of the Jibs 2 also with $1,500 up for grabs & the Down Underground finals also on the same weekend.

Yo yo !!

Tom has a bike check and interview over on the The Union, check it out here.

We filmed Brock’s ten clips on Friday, it won’t be up for a little while but it will be worth the wait, trust me!

Chris just recently started riding after being off the bike for a couple of months with a broken wrist. He is heading over to the USA next month to hit up a bunch of places. This photo is from an evening ride we had at Woodridge park in Brisbane the other night.

In stores now around Australia are our latest grip, the Much Room. I am really stoked on how these came out. Guys on the team that are running them right now include Alex Hiam, Cooper Brownlee, Chris Courtenay, Marnold & Tom Stretton. So far feedback has been very favourable from everyone. Check them out at your nearest Colony dealer now. For those outside Australia you need to wait till October to get your hands on these, sorry.

Yo yo !!

Marnold has been riding alot of late, filming for a few projects. With the weather being very average in Melbourne at this time of year and no daylight savings we have been lighting up a bunch of spots whenever it’s dry.

Long time friend & Carhartt team manager, Mike Emde has had his own shop called The Local Face for a couple years now. It’s based in Wuppertal, Germany & they stock our full ranges including our new DVD which Mike wrote some really kind words about which you can check here now, if you read German of course. Thanks for the support Mike !!

Yo yo !!

Next up in our Ten Clips series of video’s is Alex Hiam. One of his favourite parks here in Brisbane is Fairfield, so we hit it up one weekday so it was a bit quieter, which it was but it was crazy windy at times. You can probably tell how windy it was in the background of some of the clips. Alex was keen though so we spent the afternoon filming this. Thanks to the locals for being patient at times.

Filmed and edited by Cooper Brownlee with additional filming by Rhys Yeomans.

The finals for this years Down Underground flatland series presented by Newcircle, is set for August 21st inside the Ausbike trade show in Melbourne. Come along to check out the very best of flatland in Australia & abroad with it being reported a Japanese contingent is heading over for the comp.

Should be a great weekend of BMX with the King of the Jibs the day before also at Ausbike & then on the 21st of August, is the second annual Slay The Rail comp also in Melbourne. A very big weekend of BMX here in Australia, the way it should be.

Yo yo !!
