New ramps at Beenleigh

I caught up with Tim Wood down at Beenleigh today where he is putting in some more of the new ramps for the park. We now have our first ever hitching post & it looks super fun for sure. We also now have a roller to quarter pipe with backrail which will be plenty of fun as well. They will be ready to ride by the weekend.

On a side note, Tim recently got 3rd in Vert at the Asian X Games in Shanghai, China. Congrats go to Tim !!

Shane Badman in Egypt

Shane Badman sent me email from Egypt… read on below.

Everything is going really well down here in Egypt. I’m living in a resort city called Hurghada about 4-5 hours south from Cairo on the Red Sea. The city is known mostly for it’s local diving scene and crystal clear water, but is also a popular destination for the super-rich and wealthy luxury boat owners as it’s central to a bunch of other places around the Middle East & Africa.

Living in England I heard through the grapevine that a local company in Egypt were looking for a rider to do demos for a few months. After a few phone calls followed by sending some footage, they were happy to ask if i’d come down for a few months to work with them. Admittedly, the lure of white sandy beaches, 40degree weather, no rain for months and months on end and the fact that all i’d be doing is endless riding was too good to pass up.

So for the next few months or so I’m here doing daily flatland demos in the newly opened Marina for tourists and the like. The lifestyle is good, the locals are friendly and I’ve got a bunch of good spots to ride at. I have a bunch of other trips planned around Egypt over the coming weeks so stay tuned for updates and photos!

Random news bits…

Ryan has a feature up on Vital about his new Whip 2 shoe out with Vans now. I found it rather enjoyable to watch & looks like Ryan is killing it as always. The edit has some awesome riding of Ryan in Greenville & especially his amazing backyard set up. I gotta get myself over there soon & session that ramp. Looks so much fun.

Click here now to check out the video.

Nick Richardson has to have a full knee reconstruction for the 2nd time now. Sucks big time. Richo will be out till about March next year. Take it easy during the recovery time mate.

Steve Woodward had his bike stolen the other day. Let’s hope the person that stole it gets hit by a truck. Don’t worry, Steve will be back on another Bloody Oath in no time.

Mick Bayzand is now safely in Vancouver where he will reside for the next few years. Mick will certainly be showing the streets of Vancouver what’s up & plans to get back in riding dirt more too. Expect regular updates from Mick here.

ha, I got something private going on in tha backyard!…

ahaha, well, after many a conversation of how rad it would be, a lil bit of penny saving, and alot of pondering, I finally got a backyard ramp for my house, and it’s RAD to say the least. At the moment it’s at the wazman’s house for a lil (thanks wazman!), until i prep the area at my house, but hopefully by summertime it will be in place, with a few additions. The plan is to make it a sheet wider, put some big platforms on and then put a 6 foot facing crossways and maybe a roll up into a smaller quarter the other way, with a bowl corner and a elevated wallride going out of the 6 foot. kinda like Ryan’s backyard setup but probably a bit smaller. Either that or we’ll just build a bigger tranny each side. Come summer, it’ll be beach, barbies, backyard sessions, beers, bourbon and booyashaka’s! Millar i might need some of them colony ramp srickers!

Also below are some pics from the redbull dirt pipe that was in albury out the back of melbourne the other week, it was fuckin nutso! just big and scary! a good time was had by all and congrats to mike daly for putting on such an awesome event! And even more congrats to Rusty, who took the win, stoked to say the least. Rusty is just gnarly, super smooth, high, and the 4 tricks that he did were stretched and slow, just like tricks should be!  Rusty and his fiance and heading off to the states soon so the cashola was the icing in the cake for them, couldn’t have come at a better time! and congrats to Brendan Jones who came in second, jonesy is one of my favourite riders for sure, cause he goes fast and don’t give a fuck, big turndown flips and banana whip outs! laughing the whole way! I love booze! bye bye.

Finally in Canberra

After 3 days of driving while taking it easy, myself & Richo are finally in Canberra. Along the way we dropped into the 2020BMX magazine offices & Hell On Wheels. Both were cool to finally check out. It’s cool to see where all the magic for the mag happens & the shop is awesome too.

There was really bad weather the whole way down from Brisbane but as soon as we arrived into Canberra it cleared up. Perfect. We picked up both Mick Bayzand & Liam Fahy-Hampton from the airport & will be heading to check out Backbone BMX in the morning. Backbone is the centre of the BMX scene in Canberra & from what I’ve heard is one of the coolest BMX shops in Australia. Can’t wait to check it out. Then we’re hitting the streets. Yeah yeah !! Check back in the next days for news from our exploits here.

Pete Radivo falls ill.

Seems Pete’s luck with health is never ending & he has now fallen ill with Glandular fever. It means he will miss out on our upcoming Colony trip to Canberra but we would rather see him get better health wise. So he needs to take it easy & no riding for at least 6 weeks as prescribed by the doctor. Get better soon mate !!

Pete wont be doing any of these anytime soon.

Cube flatland frame update

Shane Badman’s signature flatland frame is getting closer to reality. Here is one that my friend Ross Lavender, is in the process of building up. It wont come in this colour but it looks pretty fresh. Ross did the powder coating himself at Lewis & Sons Powder Coating.

In Shane news… he is about to make the move to Egypt to live & will have a job doing shows on a daily basis on some luxury resort. Sounds pretty good to me.

Mick Bayzand video

An old one but a good one none the less. Some of this was filmed about 5 years ago but can still hold its own today. Mick rules, always has, always will. He heads over to Vancouver to live for a couple years soon but I am sure we will continue to see & hear great things from him. Be on the lookout for some coverage from an upcoming farewell trip to Canberra with Liam Fahy-Hampton, Zac Miner & myself.

Alex Hiam web vid

Our latest web video is with our 12 year old ripper, Alex Hiam from Brisbane, Australia. Alex is on our flow team through Crossley Cycles & we filmed this section over the past 4 weekends.

I really like his riding because he has such a great mix of tech but check the video & make up your own mind. The best thing about Alex is his attitude towards riding. He is all about just having fun & is always smiling on & off his bike. Alex has the skills no doubt & I am looking forward to the years that lay ahead for this kid.

Vans / Colony collaboration Whip 2

Late last year I released the news that Vans & Colony were working together on a Whip 2 shoe with Ryan Guettler. Well, here are the first pics of what the shoe will look like. It’s a huge deal for us to have this honour to work with a company like Vans & were stoked. Some of the Colony team will be lucky enough to have sample pairs soon.  

Expect the shoe to be available to the public January 2009.

Old school BMX show

On the weekend we had the old school BMX show here in Brisbane & it was a great time for sure. So many great old memories came rushing back & it was cool to see some old faces as well. Check out the pics from the day & get a taste of what it was like to ride in years so long ago, or so it seems? There were bikes from some of the greats of the past & some of the less known from back in the day. An old school flatland jam also busted out with many tricks that have been almost forgotten.

The grand opening of the new Elanora park is on Saturday & you could be lucky enough to win a Colony Endeavor complete bike courtesy of Helensvale Cycle Scene. You will also have the chance to see Tim Wood in action with a demo at the massive new bowl complete with a full pipe.  

Then on Sunday there is an old school BMX show and shine which will show case BMX history from the very beginnings. Be sure to say happy birthday to Rob Lewis while you’re there.

MC’s new bike

I have the upmost respect for one of my friends who is responsible for getting me into this BMX thing all those many years ago. That guy is Michael Canfield. Back in 1988 I moved to Brisbane to start a new life & Michael & another guy, Bob Herbohn, were the first two new friends I made. They were doing tricks on their BMX bikes so I dusted mine off & started doing the same. 21 years on & here we are… still riding those little kids bikes.  

I recently hooked up Michael with a whole slew of Colony stuff to make up a new bike & here it is in all it’s glory. Complete with a few custom mods & all. Michael sent me a bit of a bike check & cool email to go along with it. Check it out.

Hey mate,

Who would have thought back in the day we’d be riding bikes still, let alone ones that consisted mostly of components from a bike company that you started. Awesome. You’ve done a good job so far mate, to be the first Aussie bike company to get worldwide. Well done. At the very least you aren’t making Maxxims. Talk to you soon.

MC

Editors note: Maxxim was an old school Aussie BMX company back in the day.
