Alex Hiam update
Hey Guys,
little update from the last month,
As soon as I got back from the Summer of Colony trip I held my own Jam called the “Why Not Jam” at a Local park in Brisbane, Kuraby Skatepark on the 23rd of January.It was the best day, thanks to All my sponsors that supplied prizes and giveaways & the local BMX stores. It was a great turn out, Way more riders than we imagined. There was 100+ riders that showed up to ride and support the cause. We did trophies for Highest Jump, Longest Jump & Rider of the day, There will be a video dropping from the day in the next week.
Straight after that I went on a road trip in my own car back to Sydney with two really good friends Boyd & Dave. Dave is from America and is staying at mine for two months. He is a really good filmer and we stacked some footage I’m really stoked on . Definitely the best stuff I have filmed so we’re gonna take our time on this project and make it a real banger. It should be done in next couple of months.
Our road trip went for a 12 days, We camped all along the coast down to Sydney, Stayed in the city for a week then camped along the way home. Was awesome to do my own trip for once, I learnt a lot !
The next month I will be working at The Village indoor Skatepark saving for my travels this year, riding everyday and continuing to film for my section with Dave. He is staying at my house for another month. I have planned to go & film in China for a month with Dave in October. And spend a couple months in USA.. So it’s all very exciting for me.

Wallpaper – Chris Courtenay
ShoalHaven Heads park wasn’t on the itinerary for the Summer of Colony trip but after getting rained out at Kiama we headed south and got lucky with the weather. We had a pretty rad backdrop so I asked Chris to roast something for me and a table was his weapon of choice. Click the images below then right click to download for your desktop wallpaper.

Alex Hiam update
Hey guys!!
After how much fun I had being on the road for Summer of Colony roadtrip two weeks ago I decided to go again myself in my own car. I have Boyd Hilder and Dave Pendleton with me filming. It’s been great we are currently in Sydney now and are roadtrippin back to Brisbane in a couple of days. We camped along the way but are now staying at Lewis Mills house in Sydney. We have been hitting lots of spots and skateparks here , the city is crazy!!!
Here’s some pics so far..
Summer of Colony trip video
We spent 9 days on the road around Brisbane then down the coast to Canberra hitting up a bunch of parks and anything else we could come up on. We hosted 10 jams in 9 days at local parks along the way and had a blast riding with everyone. Here’s the video from the trip and you can view a pretty large photo gallery over on the Focalpoint website.
Thanks to Chris Bracamonte for helping out with filming on this.
Shane Badman ADL session
Thanks to our good friend Dave Rubinich we have a bunch of cool shots of Shane that the guys created a couple weeks back.
Victor in NZ
Victor is still over in New Zealand and over the weekend at the Gorge Road trails jam he took home a joint win with Dawid Godzik of the best rider of the day. Victor would be seriously loving life right now having hit those trails.
Thanks @wolisphoto for the photos.

It didn’t really sink in until now but it’s true and as with the rest of the entire BMX community we are left shocked and devastated. RIP to a true great of this lifestyle we lead. Dave Mirra you will never be replicated.

Hey Guys, Quick post to let you no whats been going on with me.
Well a few days ago I had a pretty bad fall, I fell backwards off a ledge and smashed my head into a pole and split the back of my head open pretty badly. When I got to hospital the doctors thought I fractured my spine and it was all down hill from there.
It was a pretty scary night as they strapped my head to a bed so I couldn’t move and ran a bunch of scans.
Thank god they all turned out clear, it’s never nice to be told you may never ride your bike again (for the second time actually).
So after all that it just came down to fixing the rather large split in my head which is nothing a small hand full of staples wont fix hahaha.
So be carefull out there kids and I would recommend you were your helmets.

Tom Stretton update
Hey guys, Just letting you know what I’ve been up to…
At the moment I’m down the coast in New South Wales enjoying paradise while it buckets down in Brisbane. I’ve been doing heaps of hiking which is great for my knee and I’m slowly feeling a lot better.
To add to that I have finally joined a gym and physio is going great. I really am feeling stronger everyday. Surgery is still a possibility but I have another meeting with my specialist at the end of February to find out how I’ve progressed.
Can’t wait to ride again and can’t wait to have some sick sessions. I also can’t wait to see the footage the boys got from their recent Australia trip. Keen a keen eye out, they are fucking nuts!
Until next time, peace!
