Hey bro-towns, just a quick up to let you know I’m rocking the Colony and flaunting the Sanction T! Believe… Got my rig blessed with shreddabilty at my local temple. Possibly a first for a Colony Endevour and definately a first for Sanction.
Much love,

Yesterday morning I went up in a hot air balloon for the first time with my Mum, Sister, her boyfriend & my girlfriend, Niki for Mother’s Day & my sisters birthday. It is so peace full up there & was an amazing experience & something that I will not forget anytime soon. The view was amazing & it’s such a different feeling to flying in a plane. It feels so natural. We even saw some kangaroos in the field when we were landing. Oh, & the big news is I also popped the question to my girl & she said yes. Stoked.

Mick sent me a pic of his nightmare at the moment that is his troubling knee problems. He hurt it a while back & it just doesn’t seem to be getting any better. It’s so bad right now that he needs to wear this brace here 24/7. I feel for you mate… I hope it starts to get better soon. Mean while he has been taking it ‘easy’ by digging trails in Canada. Rest up mate.

Zac Miner recently went to China for the Asian X Games in Shanghai. It was his first time overseas & he said it was an experience for sure, read on below…
Hey mate…
China was good and bad, as far as traveling overseas for the first time it was pretty crazy, there are so many people in Shanghai. The city is huge and caotic. I got to hang out with a heap of new people, Kym Grosser and Eric Holley were super cool and I hung out with them a heap.
As far as the comp went, I was all sweet in practice and come qualifying I rode terrible, I sucked! Just couldnt put it together and it kinda made the trip a bit of a downer because of it. Sorry mate, didn’t rep Colony the best this time.
The people that made finals rode well, Grosser did some amazing stuff. Garret is on a level of his own and definately deserved first. Maybe you’ll see some more photos somewhere? Here are a couple pics I ripped off Kym.
