For the past week myself, Mick Bayzand, Zac Miner along with filmer Stu Munro were out on the road in-between Canberra and Sydney searching for spots and filming.
It was a pretty productive and fun trip besides Mick destroying both his wrists on the third day in Canberra we still got some stuff done and had a ball doing so. Here are a few random Iphone photos from the trip…
Here is our current RideUS advert that came out a couple weeks ago advertising the Teddy frame. Mick Bayzand downhill runup, over grind in LA back in September of last year…
One of our very first products developed was our Oneway pegs. Back then to make a peg light they were usually made from Titanium, this made them very expensive. So we developed our pegs with the unique offset internal machining process from either 7075T6 alloy or 4140 CrMo. Meaning our pegs are thicker on the bottom where you grind & thinner on the top where you don’t. Simple but affective. Check them out in more detail by clicking here now.

After almost ten years of lobbying spear headed by Shane Conlon down in Coffs Harbour, they are getting closer to having a park built there. The budget set aside so far is $1million so they should get a pretty decent park finally. If you could show your support for the park by clicking the link here & submitting your email it will form another sign of support to the Coffs Harbour council. There are some people in the community against the new park but if we all show our support for it it will go ahead. Click the link here now & show your support.
As you can see above, Coffs Harbour needs your help, their park as it is now is terrible !!

Here is some footage from Paddy Gross’s first outdoor session this spring at his home town park of Trier in Germany.
Yo yo !!
Paddy Gross the worldwide traveller out of Germany, sent in a quick update on what he has been up too… read on below.
OK, here’s my little something I’ve been up to in the last couple weeks. Well I’ve been riding heaps of demos as usual and besides that, finally the sun came out in Germany after a long winter. I was like “Hey my name is Spring and my friend Summer is on his way as well” Great conditions to ride outside and traveling 6 hours to the town (Trier) where I grew up and film a little session at my local park. I also went for a quick photo session to the new indoor park in Trier and had a heaps of fun at this place.
Between all of this I’ve also visited my Colony team mate Benny Paulsen’s backyard miniramp for a weekend and it´s been good hanging around sharing jokes, life and BMX.
A friend of mine from Slownia asked me for a little interview for his website Mellon BMX. I really appreciate when people wanna hear my opinion about things and if you interested to read it click here now.
So the contest season is pretty much about to start and I will hit up whatever seems fun to me and hope to get to see heaps new places and meet new people. I am constantly up to something like a workman who loves to tinker on things and like he knows how to use his screw driver, I know how to use my bike 🙂
I probably said this a hundred times already but why not going for 101 times, I love riding for Colony because everything couldn’t be better and since I’ve met the team now, I am even more proud to be a part of Colony.
Cheers, Paddy.
Yo yo !!
