After working hard on filming for the Colony DVD, we wanted to play around with a web edit series that was a bit more relaxed, so the deal is…. The rider picks out a spot or park they enjoy riding and then they film ten clips at that spot. No pressure, just keep it fun and do the things they enjoy doing.
This is Tom’s local park so I knew this would be the place we would hit up for his Ten Clips. To mix it up and to work in with Tom’s work schedule, we got out the generator and filmed it at night whilst the local kids lurked in the background.
We moved the generator set-up around to each part of the park to film each clip which worked well.
Filmers: Cooper Brownlee (fisheye) Troy Charlesworth (long lens)

Available this week at your favourite Colony dealer are our Beanies to keep your noggin warm in these cooler winter months. Limited to only 30 of each colour & only available in Australia.

I have a soft spot for Koln, Germany. Over the years I have spent a lot of time there riding various contests & having a great time in general. I even lived there for a year back in 2001. I am stoked to see there will be a premiere there for our DVD as well. What better people to have host it as well with the good folks at The People’s Store. In conjunction with Freedom BMX Magazine’s 100 Issue party it is set to be an amazing night. Thanks to all involved including our distro in Germany, Fastpace.

Once again today we bring two interviews from the team…
Ryan Guettler had probably some of the worst runs of luck injury wise while trying to film for the DVD. All in all though, he still managed to get some good footage captured for his section. Find out what he went through to get his section done in the video below.
Filmed & edited by Ryan Guettler & Bret Trigg.
