Yesterday Peta Shepherd had a bad crash on a tailwhip nosepick gone wrong. She took it hard & ended up having to go to hospital. She will need some facial surgery & dental work in the weeks ahead. It was one of the scariest crashes I have seen. Paddy & I visited her today & she is in great spirits talking about riding again already. Such a trooper !! Rest up Peta & please take it easy.

Check back here in the weeks ahead as we will release a special limited edition tee shirt with 100% proceeds going towards her medical bills.

Zac and myself had recent One Clips in the Focalpoint 365 clips project…

We had a great time hanging out and riding the ramps at Helensvale BMX. Thanks to everyone who came out and the guys at Vale, much appreciated! Below we have Tom Stretton with an alleyoop downside whip and also a local shredder, Keahnu Doyle, who won the bunnyhop comp with a hop of 37 inches. He scored himself a pair of forks for his efforts.

Spokes NT in Darwin, NT are a huge Colony supporter & have been for many years now. They recently built up this Sweet Tooth custom below for a customer. Looking the goods no doubt. Spokes NT are also supporting the Darwin leg of the BMX for Floods Jams happening tomorrow around the country so you know they are in BMX for the right reasons.

Our flow rider from Hungary, Attila Godi sent in a little edit riding his local park. Here is what he had to say…

Yo, The temperature was around 10-17C° in Hungary, it was awesome to ride. This warm is unusual in winter here. There are some older clips in the video, sorry but I couldn’t ride street – Attila.

If you’re in the area make sure you get yourself along for Connections BMX 6th birthday celebrations jam tomorrow.

Yesterday we had the Crossley Cycles in-store & it was a blast. There was a great turnout & Richard put on a bunch of pizzas for everyone. Matt Sheriff won the bunny hop comp between the locals with a hop of 32.5″ & scored himself some forks for doing so. Thanks to all those that came along & hung out, it’s appreciated. Word.

We have a new tee out, called Since. It’s a basic logo tee printed on the usual slightly longer but not wider blanks that we use. I think it came up pretty good! We will have these with us all along the trip the next couple of weeks. Hit us up at the various in-stores for your chance to buy one while they last.

If you’re down on the Gold Coast make sure you drop in at 3pm today at Vale BMX. We will be there to hang out, have a bunny hop comp, throw out some freebies and do some riding too. See ya there!

Paddy Gross arrived into Brisbane from Germany a few days ago now & is here for our trip down south next week. Should be good times. He is here for 2 weeks & will be packing in as much riding & travelling as possible in such a short time. Paddy had his first Vegemite on toast experience this morning. His first words were, ‘It tastes like grease!’ Welcome to Australia mate !!

Alex Hiam is finally back on his bike after a long 6 months off due to injury. Saw him ride today & it looked like he maybe stopped riding for no more than 6 minutes more like it. Still got all his tech stuff which was so good to see.

He also is riding his new bike set up which of course is always based around his signature frame, the Sweet Tooth. It is the only frame engineered exclusively for smaller riders like Alex out there. Check it out at a Colony dealer near you now.

Yo yo !!

All the boys got into town last night & we’re all itching to go ride but the rain is a real pain. Hanging in the office this morning doing bike maintenance & talking smack. Hopefully it clears up soon.

Don’t forget the Crossley Cycles in store tomorrow at 3pm. See you all there.

Paddy, Liam Z, Zac, Cooper, Mick & Tom.

I received a phone call from Ryan the other night asking if it was cool he gave his bike away at Cams Jam. I said sure if you think it’s a good thing… read on below.

What a rad weekend, I had the chance to go to Cam White’s Jam and had a blast. The riding was amazing Jed Mildon did a double flip on the massive jump and James Foster did a whip to double whip back. Crazy. Everything was towards charity from rider entry fee to buying food for the night. I wanted to do my part so I jumped on the mic and said if I see a kid screaming all night for the riders or just somthing really crazy I’d give that person my bike. What I saw was pretty funny it had the crowd going wild, as best trick was going on, a guy ran from the roll in all the way to the last jump NAKED. I thought it was pretty cool so at the awards I called him out and gave him my bike.

So a big thank you to Colony for giving me the chance to do that. Your’e the man Clint. If you get a chance to get to Cam White’s Jam next year, do it one of the best times ever… Ryan.

We just got to Brisbane, it was a long drive! We had rain most the time but we did get a chance to hit up a couple of spots which was fun, just like this Swansea park in NSW that was just finished and super super fun!

Our flow rider in Latvia, Oskars Zajarskis scored a little section in the video below. Oskars threw some hammers in there with some really good riding. Well done mate !! Check it out below now, look out for his footage from 2.24 onwards. Thanks to Par BMX for looking after Oskars with Colony.

Over on the ESPN BMX news blog there is a write up on the BMX for Floods jam set for this Sunday. It has some words from Jamie Moore from Stowaway Distribution & myself. Click here now to check it out. Thanks to Brian Tunney for the news piece.

Yo yo !!

Make sure you get to your local BMX for Floods Jam on Sunday & donate all you can. This is a for a great cause & you could even have some fun & win yourself some fantastic gear. I know we have given over $8,000 retail worth of product for all nine jams alone. So, with everyone else’s help we should be able to raise some serious funds for those in need.

Check out the official website for the jams too by clicking here now. Over on the ESPN site there is an interview with Shaun Jarvis from Perth, who’s brain child these jams are, check it by clicking here now.

Cooper, Zac, Mick & Liam are almost in Brisbane now on their trip. Here is a photo of Coops before the rain hit in Sydney.

I think it’s pretty safe to say that Crossley Cycles is the longest running BMX shop in Australia. I first went there myself back in 1988 & have gone there ever since. Both Richard & Mick Lav know their stuff & have one of the best stocked shops without a doubt. If they don’t have it then it’s not worth having… check them out online or better yet, give them a call. Click here to check out their website now.

Yo yo !!

So myself, Mick Bayzand and Liam Zingbergs are in Sydney at the moment trying to film some clips, the weather isn’t on our side but Liam did manage to get some solids at this spot before the rain hit us…

One of our more exclusive models from our series of flagship pro complete bikes is the Lowcut Pro. These are available around the world in a very limited number so may be a little hard to track down. Packed full of almost everything we make they are ready to shred straight out the box & at a price that is to beat. Check one out at your favourite Colony dealer now… if they have any left that is.

Yo yo !!

Mick Bayzand scores today’s one clip over on Focalpoint. Yeah boyee !!

Cooper, Mick & Liam hit the road yesterday on their way from Melbourne to Brisbane via Sydney. Zac will also be meeting up with the guys Sunday morning for the last leg up here. They’re all coming up here to hang for a week then we all head back down to Sydney then Canberra the week after. Should be fun times.

Make sure to come along & say g’day at one of our store appearances scheduled over the next few weeks. They start this Thursday at Crossley Cycles then Friday at Helensvale BMX.

Cooper will be posting updates on our facebook page so make sure you’re a friend of us by clicking here now.
