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.

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 !!

Chris was recently added to the flow team, then proceeded to bang out this rediculous wed edit. Read on for a little insight into his world.
What are you up to today?
Well its a nice sunny sunday so perfect! im gonna go riding with Troy Charlesworth and Nitai and hopefully get some photos and clips for a lil something we’ve been working on!
Have you always lived in Queensland?
Yeah I was born in Mackay then moved to Brisbane!
I would say you are more known for your park riding but lately it seems you have been riding a bunch of street, what has been the motivation behind that?
I guess it was just something that I really didnt ride much and just started playing around with skatepark street sections! I find it alot of fun going out and trying to find something cool to ride but yeah, I do love riding skateparks.
Tell us something about yourself people probably don’t know…
My family has a sweet beach house on a island haha!
You went to the states last year to ride, what was your best memory from that trip?
Probably a road trip to Orlando, Florida I did with two friends, Brandon Cristie and Josh Perry! Just was a real fun trip got to ride a fair bit and got a sweet hook up into Disney World which was amazing!
Any plans to travel overseas again this year?
I’m heading off to China for the Asian X Games at the end of May then back over to America for a few months! It’s coming up soon so getting pretty excited!
This photo is of Zac Miner from the recent trip we did from Brisbane to Canberra, wallride from bowl to bowl. I guess you could say this is Zac’s local park as he seems to know all the lines when you watch him ride there.
