Primarily filmed by himself, this new video from Simon is a great watch for anyone into the more technical side of riding. Edited by Stu Munro. Check out the entire Exon flatland range right here.
Thursday night Alex was fortunate enough to get to ride the pool at Beach Burrito in Fitzroy, Melbourne for a Vans event. The pool is super tight but he adapted and came out with some great images shot by Andrew Mapstone.
Thanks to Matt Cordova for sending through these solid shots of Nathan from a local poll session they had recently. You can check more images of Nathan’s signature colourway in the Tradition frame right here.
We are supporting the Rampfest open day in Melbourne in a few weeks. You will be able to test ride the new complete bikes along with a session with some of the team. Check all the info right here, Look forward to seeing you guys down there.
Someone made this compilation of a tonne of great Alex clips from the past few years. It’s pretty random to see someone re-using your clips but I am into it none the less…
Aaron Simone who rides for Tony’s Bikes over on the East coast of the USA banged out this DIG video with Chris Bracamonte whilst he was in California for a few weeks which came out great. Love the 360 over the rail…
Hey guys, I have been working on my ankle a lot . I am doing my own physio to save money and I think I know how to treat it pretty good aswell.. I’m learning a lot about the body and healing myself. It’s pretty interesting. I am Constantly progressing, Healing and feeling more and more stronger everyday, With my ankle and my whole body . .. I am able to do pretty much any Physical activities with out to much pain or hassle in my ankle now.. Which is very relieving and exciting. I have been climbing mountain for physio etc.
This ankle has been by far the hardest injury to recover from. I Keep thinking It’s getting better then I find another thing I have to heal . It’s just my balance i am having a hard time with at the moment. . That’s delaying the last healing process.. I am able to ride, do all my usual tricks, But not comfortably. and don’t feel like it’s time yet. I have subconsciously been putting all my weight on my left leg, ( My good foot ) During pretty much every activity i do, Including riding…. so This is delaying my Right ankle ( the one i Broke ) From fully healing and building that last bit of muscle I need to be able to have a lil fall and get back up from it… I have just figured this out this week. So it’s exciting I can start working towards balancing my weight out on both feet, and should be back to 100% soon. All the physio and exercise I have been doing my whole body and mind is ready and just waiting to push the limits again. Yoga has been a huge help to balance myself out. I am feeling really confident and refreshed on my bike so I’m super excited and have fallen more involve with riding once again!
It’s been a long road but I think it’s finally coming to a end. And I am so grateful for this Obstacle, and I have learnt a whole lot that is going to help me in the future to be on my bike for as long as possible.
Below is a day edit from the England trip hitting up the Corby park.
Another episode of the Redbull and friends trip around New Zealand. Victor has some good clips throughout and the places they rode look super good. You can see a tonne of photos right here and the video below.
Chris Bracamonte knows how to handle a long rail or 6! Watch him do just that in this new video whilst we give you a run down of his current Tradition set-up.
Sooooooo I have a new bike and it fucking rules. I’m still very cautious and shaky on it but I am loving just being able to roll around.
Again I can’t thank Clint and everyone at Colony enough for all the support for so long. Soon I will be riding with my people again….poorly….but I’ll be riding and I can’t freaking wait.
Just thought you guys should know. Check out my rig. This Versatil frame is seriously the tits. It feels incredible and looks even better.
This Friday YVC are putting on a jam at the local park of Lilydale in Victoria. If you’re in the area make sure you head down, some of the team will be out having a roll for sure.
