Just south of Port Macquarie in NSW, we have a new dealer who is the authorised shop to sell Colony in that area. Tony at Laurieton Cycles has been around BMX since back when Bob Haro started it all & loves getting his hands dirty playing with BMX bikes all day. If you’re in the area & looking to get anything Colony, especially custom builds, then give him a call. You can get all his contact details by clicking here now.

Paddy Gross, our main man in Germany, sent in some words & pics from his travel the last few months. Paddy is also making plans to come out here to Australia next year to ride & hang out.

“I am always stoked where this little bike is taking me and in August I´ve been to Romania for the first time for a contest. Very impressive country and lots of cool spots to ride. The contest was held in huge city park and the concrete skatepark didn’t look bad at all, a little slippery though. Romania hasn’t a big BMX scene and there’s probably just one bmx shop in town.

All the kid’s knowledge is from the internet and when I was there I was asked a million questions about my bike and Colony. The kids were like, “You’re that Colony rider, I know you because I always check their website, such awesome stuff, can I buy your bike?”

Lot’s of riders from other countries around Romania came up for the contest. It’s been a great time riding with all those dudes and I ended up taking second place which made me more than happy.

Between going to contests I am riding demos a lot or I go to work, luckily my boss from work is big fan of what I am doing. So getting time off work to ride my bike isn’t a big deal. In September I went to Portugal for the Vans “Let it Ride” tour and the rebeljam. The tour went crazy good and had a complete new format. The whole thing was bro cam style and so we had to film ourselves all the time. So I can´t wait to see the final edit.

After the tour, we went for the rebeljam and it´s been a crazy amount of riders from everywhere in the world, even Australia were present. I’ve had the chance to meet some of the coolest guys on that weekend like Dwayne or Todd Meyn, which was my favorite rider also on that weekend. Lot’s of insane riding went down and I for myself, was chilling out a little at my contest run because my body was just tired from the tour and didn’t wanted to hurt myself.

Well that was it for now and I still have a couple contests and demos coming up for this year but all my earnings are going to the “Australia” account. I will be hopefully heading over there pretty soon.

Thanks to everyone who’s reading this and thanks to Colony for the good times I have with ya !!”

Cheers – Paddy!

Our US trip is now coming to an end with Cooper, Mick & myself going home today. Broc also left this morning for home. Zac & Tom are heading over to Greenville to hang with Ryan for a week or so.

It’s been a great trip except for my broken ankle. Thanks to everyone that showed us around & rode with us. Special thanks to Ryan Navazio for looking after us while in LA, thanks mate.

Peta Shepherd is also in the states right now on her own trip with some friends. She sent in a quick update of what she has been up to & her plans…

My holiday has been unreal so far… I’ve been having the best time riding my bike, rock climbing and hiking in Sundance. Everyone I’ve meet so far have been so cool to hang with. I’m going canoeing for a few days next week, which I can’t wait for because I’ve never been. Then I start my road trip to Vegas to watch the Dew Tour.

We have two more days before most of us fly back home. Clint is out of hospital as well so that’s good news. We paid a visit to Hollywood and while we were in the area we cruised down the strip and did the tourist thing for a minute…

Thanks to Daniel Johnson for this photo he shot of Marnold grinding a super high ledge back home.

Over on the RideBMX site Tom Stretton has a how to on hang-5’s which is pretty cool. I couldn’t think of anyone better to show you this trick…

Clint was fortunate enough to have his operation last night and things went as well as they could so that’s good news.

The rest of us went out today and rode the best ditch I have ever ridden in my life. Fun was had, alot of water was drunk and clips were filmed! The photo below is from a spot we hit yesterday which is one of those million in one spots (we have hit a few of them this week) the tree roots have lifted this sidewalk up enough to have a good pop for riders to shred it. Tom gets his game on…

After an awesome day out riding, literally last spot of the evening we were riding Clint unfortunately landed wrong on an up rail to 180 which resulted in a pretty bad leg break. I can’t upload photos from the day until tomorrow so for now here is a photo from happier times for Millar at the first spot we hit out of Vegas a couple of days ago. He is having surgery tonight we hope so i will keep all posted.

Note: Anyone out there that is possibly awaiting email replies please be patient. Thanks.

Yesterday afternoon we got into LA from Vegas and we had a really solid ride all day today in Downtown LA. The photos below are of Zac at a spot we came across on the way to LA which was fun! Then we have Tom hitting a spot we hit up towards the end of the evening.

We are happy to be able to help out the jam happening down at Newcastle park on the 7th of November in NSW. Make sure you check it out…
