Jonny Devine hit me up to let us know he has been riding a bunch of trails lately, which is rad! Check out the ChapelWoods site while you are at it. Jonny also went on the Ride to Glory trip recently which he said was a blast. Below is a couple photos of Jonny at the trails…

I just got back from the Redbull Dirtpipe Comp that happened on the weekend. Definately an eye opener! Chris and Zac both rode in the comp and Chris made it to the finals but unfortunately had a crash which he injured his knee pretty bad and had to be taken to the hospital. Chris is going to see a knee specialist today, fingers crossed everything is ok.

Spotted this Vans video over on TCU featuring our own Paddy Gross. Look out for Paddy on the white bike. I remember riding those amazing brick transitions by the beach in the north of Germany back in 2001. So good to ride. Enjoy the video.
New Empire is a skate & BMX boutique store that has recently opened up on Mount Tamborine in the Gold Coast Hinterland. The owner Gary, wanted to give back to the local community of riders by starting up the first store on the mountain to cater for their BMX & skating needs. Naturally, they chose Colony as one of their first BMX brands to carry & we’re stoked that they did. If you live in the area then please support your new local shop & no doubt, New Empire will become the centre of the local scene up there. Click here for contact details now.

Here is a little video Ryan put together from his recent trip to Rotterdam with Josh Harrington & friends.
In Ryan’s words, ‘We went to Rotterdam for 4 days to film for Colony and Still Searchin’ and these are the left over clips so we put them together for a small web edit.’
Yo yo !!
I spotted this on Facebook, it’s a healthy reminder of how rad Mick Bayzand is, most of this footage is a good five years old. It’s a section from an old video magazine called Rollcall which isn’t around anymore but was cool while it lasted.
Amigos of Dave Bike Day video put together by Unit from last Saturday’s event on the Gold Coast. It was a great day & some good funds were raised for Dave Montoya’s medical funds. Chris Courtenay kills it with some really good stuff in there. Check it out.

Le Goff ‘Libellule’ Guillaume one of our flow riders from France, put in some work recently with this really well put together edit produced by Hadrian Picard. It’s well worth checking out. You can also click here now to check out a little interview with Libellule on the video. Thanks to the guys at Unleaded for the hook up.

Thanks to Andrew Sanford for filming and editing this cool edit of Broc at their local indoor park. The guys lit up certain areas with flood lights and seemed to have fun doing it. Feeble to 270 footjam was rad.
Paddy rides for Colony over in Germany, if you would like to learn a little bit more about the man, check out the quick Q&A below…

What are you up to today?
I’ve been riding a demo at a kids festival in Hamburg/Germany.
Tell us something about yourself people probably don’t know…
I believe in god but I am not religious at all, it’s just between me & him. it’s cool to send a little prayer everyday to say thanks or if he could have an eye on my friends and loved ones and keep everyone save.
What’s the weather like there at the moment in Germany?
Spring is here and just told us that summer is on its way by spoiling us with lots of sunshine.
Any plans to travel any time soon?
I am working a lot to save up to visit Australia by the end of this year. I haven’t been there yet and I can’t wait to see the country and see the Colony family.
If someone asked you why they should come visit Germany what would you tell them?
There’s lots of history, beautiful girls, unique spots to ride and because Germany is a small country you’re able to visit another country in no time.
I really did have a ball at the Amigos Jam yesterday in Brisbane, thanks to everyone that helped put it on, Chris Courtenay ended up winning the bowl comp and also tied 3rd in the street comp. Goodtimes.

We have the winner for the Mick Bayzand give away & the lucky recipient of the pair of LFH grips is Ciaran from Duncraig, WA. He guessed it correctly that Mick did an over double peg & a tooth hanger, congrats !!
So no more email entries please… thanks for all those that entered !!

When I asked Chris to join the team a short seven weeks ago, I knew it wouldn’t be long before he proved himself & received an upgrade to the pro ranks. Well that time has come & Chris is now officially a part of the pro team. Like everyone on the pro team he had to prove himself first, which he has done so with ease like in his banger web edit below.
Welcome to the pro ranks mate, keep up the shredding !!
