I drove through Canberra a couple of days ago and stopped in at Backbone. These guys have been holding it down in Canberra for a few years now so you don’t need me to tell you where to go for all your BMX goods in Canberra.
Tom Stretton does a rediculous nose wheelie in this Ride On BMX store advert. Look out for a Chris Courtenay clip in there too. Ride On are good supporters of Colony and the BMX scene so check them out if you are ever in Brisbane.
Tom Stretton has some nice clips in this edit where some Brisbane crew lit up coorparoo park and John Young got his film on.
Oskars Zajarskis our flow rider from latvia has been living in the UK for the past year or so & is soon to be making the move back home. He also just recently gave his Rebirth frame a little re-vamp with a raw paint job to keep things fresh.

If you are in Australia you have most likely already seen this advert of Pete Radivo doing a superman seatgrab air on the back of the most recent issue of Focalpoint. Well here it is for the rest of the world…
A couple nights ago we lit up Morayfield park with Tom and did a bunch of filming for a new web video series we are working on with the team. Tom really put in work for the clips. More info on these in the coming weeks.
If you check the index page you may have noticed a new image featuring Marnold and the Variant stem. This is also the first sneak peek of the new layout style for the online and print adverts. We wanted to add more of a story to the adverts so that you get to learn a bit more about the behind the scenes especially with the DVD coming out next month.
Cooper Brownlee has been up here in Brisbane for the past week hanging out, riding & getting some work done. Here is a shot from a recent day out & about riding.

Paddy Gross sent in an update on what he has been up too….
Yo everyone !! Hope all of you are doing just fine and shredding as much as you can. I am doing fine over here good ol Germany and finally the weather is getting better.
I’ve been riding heaps of demos in the last couple months and I also hit up a contest in Innsbruck, Austria with my Vans teammates Tobias Wicke, Markus Braumann, Senad Grosic and Daniel Juchatz. We’ve had a pretty cool time and the location has been awesome. The whole wooden park was placed in the middle of the forrest in front of a huge mountain chain, seriously an amazing scenery. The ramps been very awesome and we’ve had a good time shredding. At the end Markus Braumann won this thing well deserved, I scored 2nd place followed by Tobias and so on. Cool trip, cool people and heaps of fun.
Then another super awesome thing happened haha. I wrote Zac Miner that after he taught me the saying “nahyourritemate” while I was in Australia, that this has been one of my favorite memories of my visit and I got it as a tattoo on my forearm. Since I have heaps of words who have huge meaning in my life written on my arm, that one was another one I had to write on it. So Zac was stoked and told me to send it over to Nick who does the nyrm stuff. So I did, he was stoked, told me about the brotherhood and added me straight to the team hahaha. I was so fucking stoked and it all happened while I was working in a nightshift at the porn store. Wow that’s even cooler than it was anyways. Now I am able to represent one of the most awesome countries I’ve ever seen and my mates as well, can’t be better than that.
I also have kinda bad news because I won’t make it to the Colony DVD premiere cause I am going to need my travel budget for all the upcoming contests in Europe and I am not able to earn enough money from my job for a plane ticket in such a short time, Unfortunately not all the girls need toys hahaha dang it though!
So the season pretty much just started and I’ll keep having fun on my little bike like you are. All the best to all of ya and thanks for reading.
Cheers!

Broc Raiford is over in Cali on a riding trip right now & broke his scaphoid bone in his right wrist on a fall at some trails. This cuts his planned trip short & he is heading back home now to get surgery. We wish you the fastest recovery mate.
