We are proud to be continuing the support for the Core Series up in Brisbane, you can get all the up to date info on their site here. The first one is next month so make sure you get out there…

Paddy Gross sent in a quick update of what he has been up to since his visit down under last month…

So after my amazing Australian experience I am back in Germany and things started getting pretty much back to normal. I am working again and already started to save up again for my next Australian trip hopefully very soon. I miss the whole team cause everyone treated me like we’ve been friends for years and that’s what Colony is about. I remember when Clint said “I want you to be a part of the Colony family” Now I know what the “Colony family” is about, it’s about fun, friends, smiles, love, adventures, ideas and being authentic.

So I am getting ready for the season and for now all I am doing is riding demos. Last weekend I’ve been in town where I grew up and after two years I’ve had a good sesh at my local skatepark and at a new indoor place which just opened a couple month ago. Well I’ve taken heaps of memories from the good times in Australia and they make me smile everyday.

Thanks again to Clint Millar & Glen, the whole team, the bike shops and the beautiful Australian country for making me have one of the most amazing times in my life. Cheers! Paddy.

On the long drive from Melbourne to Brisbane a few weeks back we stopped in at a cool new park in NSW called Swansea.

Just a few clips of Zac Miner, Cooper Brownlee and Liam Zingbergs hitting it before the rain set in.

Filmed by Cooper and Zac, sorry about the extra wind blowout in the audio, the external mic broke the day before and it was super windy…

To celebrate the official opening of the new park at Wallsend in NSW, there is going to be a huge jam for all to come ride & have a great day. April 10th is the day & there will even be a few of our team riders down there as well. See you there !! Proudly supported by Drift Bikes along with many other fine people.

Random photo of Marnold from last year that I forgot about until i saw it on his facebook, lofty three to fakie in Melbourne…

Liam Zingbergs had a recent Oneclip from the Focalpoint 365 project…

I like coming over here to Taiwan. I usually come to visit my agent & the factories around 4 times a year. I am here once again for the international bike show putting the final plans in place for the 2012 ranges, which will be out in September around the planet. More on those in the months ahead.

The view from my hotel window of the world’s second tallest building, Taipei 101. This building never get’s old to look at, so crazy tall it has to be seen to be believed.

Thanks to Sam Routledge for sending over this photo of Chris he shot at the recent flood jam at Beenleigh park, you can see more of his shots here.

With recent events in Japan, I would like to express our concerns for anyone affected in the tragedy, our thoughts are with you.

Simon O’Brien has been over in Japan for the past 6 weeks or so & just got back home. He travelled around the country a fair bit doing the tourist thing. He didn’t take his bike but had a great time seeing the sights. He even dropped into see our Japanese Distributors head quarters. He also checked out a shop called Decade & hung with the locals. Here are some words from Simon…

Here’s some pics from my trip to Japan, was a great time seeing more of the country and culture. Made my way up to Hokkaido, the snow is amazing like everyone says it is. Also made my way down to Kyoto and Nara where Colony distro is based. Did some shop appearances and caught up with friends, it was cold but a great time!

Good times with the locals.

A while ago we released the news that we were doing some very limited edition frames made by FBM in the USA. Well, all good things come to those who wait & finally after many delays, the frames are getting close. Below is a photo of them tacked up & ready for welding. They should be available in about another 2-3 months tops but better late than never I say.

There will only be 50 frames produced & only available in Australia with some possibly available in France through Unleaded in very small numbers. Get in quick with your local dealer if you want to secure yourself one.

Brock Olive has been on the road now for close to a month straight now. Starting with our Colony trip & now he is on the Dishonour trip. Not bad for the kid who had pretty much never left Ipswich until now.

Peta Shepherd scored herself a wall paper image over on the Ride BMX site. Click here now to download it yourself in full size.

In other Peta news, she is healing up well from her crash a few weeks ago. She even rode some demos last weekend. One tough girl !! Still will be a while before all her dental work is completed so still a long road to recovery ahead for her. We are still working on the fund raiser tee shirt for her too, more on that once it’s ready.

Yo yo !!

Our newest kid on the block, Brock Olive recently scored himself a spot on the Dishonour team & this is welcome edit. Enjoy.

Today was another super fun day riding around town with a bunch of locals, this place is pretty awesome, good people, good weather and good spots.

Ryan will be at a Vans one day camp with a comp the next day in Orlando, FL. You will be able to hang & ride with Ryan & other pro’s for the weekend. So if you’re in the area get yourself over there for some fun times.

Broc Raiford qualified in 6th place for the pro finals tomorrow at the Toronto BMX Jam in Canada. Not bad for his first international comp. Good luck for the finals mate.

Thanks to Fat Tony for the photo.

It was crazy hot yesterday in Perth, some of the local crew hooked us up with some fun spots which we had a ball at. We also hit a park which had the biggest spine I have ever seen in my life.
