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.
Jackie recently went under knee surgery which seem to go well. We wish him all the best for the following months of recovery. No doubt he will be back doing will moves in no time. Check his most recent Colony video below.
England has been a battle so far, had a crash first ride that shook me up quite a bit. Then went straight to mongoose jam. During that I have had a gnarly chest cough ( bronchitus ). I’m resting up all week to ride for NASS contest this weekend. Also shooting picutures for a interview for Endless Magazine ( popular UK BMX mag ) while I’m here.
Nass ends the 10th then I fly to USA on the 13th for vans US open invitational bowl comp with 50K purse !! So keen.
Wow this is shot really well. The first half has some good riding and some great scenery, the last half is at the farm jam with some amazing riding including Victor Salazar killing it the entire time…
I’ve just got home from my trip to Hawaii for the annual Flatland ‘Aloha Jam’ ! I had heard a lot of good things about Hawaii, and I sure wasn’t disappointed! In total I spent 8 days in Honolulu with some day trips around the island. The jam was on the saturday in a park which had two basketball courts, overlooked some of the city and the ocean. It was a little windy on the day but some great riding went down with no pressure to perform for a contest. The whole vibe of the jam was to hang out, meet new people, BBQ, and enjoy the basic feeling of BMX which is just hanging out and riding! Prizes were handed out throughout the day.
I was lucky enough to get to swim at pipeline, swim with turtles, meet lots of new people, enjoy great weather and enjoy riding as usual. The Hawaiian crew are a great bunch of people! Hopefully I make it again next year.
You may think Jourdan would be slowing down since he has 2 kids and a wife but you would be wrong. Jourdan makes good use of his time when on the bike as you will see in his new video. No slowing down for JB. Thanks to Chris Bracamonte for putting this piece together. Check out Jourdans signature Menace guard sprocket right here.
As always another month has come and pass, but so much has happened! Cooper was over in the States for a month and we had the chance to do a decent amount of riding and filming. Produced a few different projects that I’m excited to see the final out come of. Was able to ride a few spots in Southern California that I haven’t been to. Always nice to mix it up and get to ride new stuff.
One of the days Victor, Cooper and myself made it out to the Stay Strong compound. I knew that Stephen and the family were getting ready to move soon so I wanted to get out there to see Stephen before he left the States. Was a great day riding and hanging out and Stephen and the boys will be missed very much by all the guys out here in California.
Also been working on a fun Dig project with Chris that should be out in the next month. Always enjoy working with Chris. He makes me laugh most of the time so it makes for fun days out riding and filming. Stay on the look out for this one.
Chris Courtenay gets a session in at The Village park and Supply whilst showing off the parts that make up his current ride. Waatch more video bike checks right here.
Jourdan came through the USA warehouse the other day and picked up some fresh parts including a brand new Monash frame in the Trans Orange. Damn that thing looks good! Also check out Jourdan’s signature Menace guard sprocket and be on the lookout for his banger new video this week!
Milosz recently setup a new Monash frame around a bunch of Colony parts. Make sure you follow Milosz on Instagram via @miloszsiajkowski as he is always posting up some great clips.
Sorry it’s been so long since I last checked in. Things have been a bit strange lately.
So as you know I got out of surgery about 2 months ago now. I guess you could say that’s a good thing but it really has been such drama with my knee. I couldn’t have imagined the repercussions of what I thought was such a mediocre injury.
Things are still okay, i just find myself in a huge amount of pain for no reason at times and no doctor can pinpoint the exact reason it’s happening. My knee seems to pop and give way frequently.
That being said I am still working on it daily. Things are looking better slowly. It’s a huge process. I’m looking to be riding again hopefully by October but who knows.
On a lighter not I’m participating in “Dry July” which is a huge thing for me. Alcohol has sort of rules my life for too long now and what better way to better myself than by helping others with cancer in the process. F@#K CANCER. In case anyone feels the need to donate, click here.
Much love to everyone and I hope to be riding with you all again soon! Peace!
We have a new section to the site, above in the Navigation bar you will see a FEATURES tab which will now host a bunch of original content shot with the guys. It could be a road trip article, bike check or an interview with one of the guys. Basically anything we think of. First up is a photo feature from the trip to Nude bowl a few of us took. Check it out here.
Hey guys just checking in on what I’ve been up to lately.Chris Bracamonte and I have been wrapping up a new vid that I’ve been really stoked on taking day trips all over SoCal finding and riding really good spots! Cooper has been in SoCal as well lately and we’ve been taking photos and hitting pools! Nothing but good times with friends and the Colony family!
