Hope everything’s well, my phone recently got hacked so I lost everything on my phone including all my photos and vids from my recent travels to England and US open etc!!! I only have my last week worth of stuff on it now.

I have been good, a bunch of riding, have been non stop since US open finals day we left that night to go straight to another contest at Woodward. Last week I was lucky enough to be apart of Mongoose Jam Video contest held at Woodward West. 5 teams of 3 riders and 1 filmer, we had 4-5 days to film a 3 minute team video. Kevin Peraza chose me to be apart of his team along with Broc Raiford and Doeby the filmer. It was Such a awesome vibe and a great contest. Here’s what we got….

We ended up placing 3rd, the video was judged by Van Homan. So stoked to be apart of these events during my time here.

Right now we just started a Colony/ division Roadtrip from LA to SANFRAN and back for 10 days, hitting a bunch of spots and parks. Can not wait super good dudes and weather should be a good time for sure. I’ll have all photos in my next update.

Sykes is all over DIG right now with a rad video shot by Chris Bracamonte along with an in-depth interview with some great photos from Andrew White. Check the interview here and the video below.

Last week we mentioned Anthony had won a round of the UK BMX dirt series. Well here is the video of the contest for you guys to check out, that place looks really fun.

RIde BMX posted up a cool video from the Street Series jam that went down in LA and Jourdan has some good clips in it befoire he got worked on the long rail at the end.

Congrats to Jack Kelly who won this years street series jam that went down in Adelaide over the weekend. You can watch the video from the day below where Jack seems to destroy every spot the crew hit.

Damn Mycek’s bike is looking fresh. Built around a Monash frame, this beast is stacked with Colony product.

Andre Jesus, our team rider from Brazil worked in this nice video filmed in in the cities of Taubate, São José and São Paulo.
Always riding with solid and big moves, Andre it’s now living back in Brasil catching contests and enjoying the good weather, always amazing to see such a nice riding from Jesus.

Hey guys,

I just got to California after spending 12 days in England. I’m here for 3 months. I wanted to say Thankyou so much for getting me out here. It’s truely a dream come true I had such a amazing time that I will never forget In England and I’m looking forward to the next 3 months In Cali.

England :
First day I had a super chill ride taking it easy and ending up having a fall and got concussed , spending the first 24 hours in hospital. It was rough. I am never riding with jetlag again. I got picked up from the hospital And drove 3 hours straight to Mongoose Jam the first weekend , met a lot of people there and had such a amazing time but unfourtunatly did not get to ride the contest. I was told I didn’t have to ride Saturday so I stayed in the hotel to rest and
Over come jetlag , then on Sunday I was feeling good to ride the Park and Street but because I wasn’t there Saturday my spot got taken. It was good to watch a contest and take it all in. I learnt a lot.

Then the second weekend I rode in Nass World contest. That was super crazy it was at a Huge music festival with kids, tents and techno music. I spent 3 days camping at the festival and riding all the contest. I competed in Dirt and park. I made it into the finals Dirt out of +40 riders and ended up placin 16th in the world finals for dirt. Pretty stoked, this was my first time riding a dirt contest so I surprised myself.

Park was what I was looking most forward to and what I am most comfortable on. The qualifiers there was 70 riders so it was Only 1 run to qualify to save time. Unfourtnaly I messed up my run and didn’t make the finals. Overall I had the best time competing at NASS I met so many cool people and learnt a lot. So looking forward to going back next year and I know what to expect.

In between the two contest I got amungst London city and rode a bunch of street. I shot these photos with Eisa Bakos for an interview in Endless Magazine ( popular UK BMX mag ) I love London the place is crazy I was in heaven riding through the streets there.

I also filmed a WEBISODE for one of the days.

When we surprised JDOG with the welcome to the team accouncement on his 21st birthday over the weekend Shane Allchorn also made a cool micro edit to welcome him officially. We are going to start soon on a full length video part for him but for now check out this one below and also the video he dropped a couple weeks back.

Hey guys summer is here and that means fun in the sun! This month I took a trip to Florida with my girlfriend for her sisters wedding. We drove from Southern California to Pensacola Florida and back in 12 days. Lots of miles across the United States, 3 rental cars later, 2 new tires and our 4500 mile trip there and back was a success. Was able to meet up with style cat Chad Osborn in Texas for a morning sesh at a really rad park close to were he and his family lives. Made for a nice break in between all the hours Aubri and I had been putting in on the road. On your way home we stopped at a few spots in Arizona that are a must go to. Antelope Canon and Horseshoe Bend.

After getting back from the trip I have been getting some riding in down a Bundy Trails. Great place to ride right now with the weather being really warm. The trees hold back some of the sun most the day so it’s been nice cruising laps down there.

And as of now I also just finished the first week of BMX Summer camp with Team Soil in New Port. Had a rad group of kids for our first week. Mike Hucker Clark and Ryan Brennan and myself along with Dylan Stark for a few days help kids learn basic BMX skills, from riding quarter pipes and learning to jump and gain bike control. It was great week on the beach with this young riders. Can’t wait for week two!

Congrats to Anthony who won the first round of the UK BMXSeries, looking forward to seeing footage from the event.

Our latest Service Centre video gives you a run down on how to replace the driver in our Freecoaster hubs.

Yo Guys quick check-in, Just finished up a promo campaign the other week with Sony Mobile which I was stoked to be on board with, got some pretty rad content out of it which should be below. Apart from that, we just did some new upgrades to The Village which are soo much fun to ride, also been putting a bunch of videos up with myself and all the boys on our channel if you guys have some time give them a watch right here. Until next time. Peaceee!

I am very stoked to welcome Jayden Fuller or “jdogg” as most of us know him affectionately as, to the team.

Jayden has been hanging out with us all for a few years now. He’s come along on a few team trips here & there as well. He is someone who is just so stoked on BMX & always has a smile on his face. Ecatly what we’re all about. Have fun – ride bikes.

It just made sense to have him officially on the team. What better way to welcome him to the team on his 21st birthday hey?

Happy birthday mate !!

Yo yo !!

Ricky has the new Colony advert in the current issue of RIDE BMX rocking the Monash frame. Make sure you pick up a copy. Rick banging out an NBD with this rollercoaster ice grind to crankflip bars. Make sure you watch Ricks Melbourne video below along with the DIY video that features the clip of this photo.

I met up with Nathan Sykes and Victor Salazar for a day in the sun at Stephen Murrays trails and then onto the Hood Rich trails. Thanks to the guys for letting us have a session we really appreciated it. Check the video below along with the photo feature from the day right here.

Hey guys, Recently I was super fortunate to be invited to the G-Shock Real Toughness contest at Tokyo Dome. This event is organised by BMX legend Hiroshi from 430 and G-Shock. They are doing a lot for the
culture of BMX in Japan! The event was nothing short of amazing! From the best flatlanders, top street riders, skaters and best bboys in the world!! The action that went down was nuts!!

Unfortunately for me, a few too many touches kept me from proceeding in the comp. I was happy with some of the tricks i did, but just couldn’t ride away properly. I was only in Tokyo for a few days but the rest of the time was spent partying with the street and flat riders. Ed Zunda, Lashaan, Fudger, Reed Stark and the other boys love a drink, so it was a fun time….they are cool guys!

Once again…..another Epic Tokyo memory! Huge shout out to Hiroshi uehara / owner of 430.

Bruno‘s Monash setup is looking super fresh!
