Nathan Sykes along with Matt Cordova, Trevor Sigloch, Beeverton Presquire got in a good session at the Hippy Bowl recently and they captured the good times that were had.

As always another month has come and gone, but not without some good times! Been riding the BMX, working on the jumps at FOD. We were hit with some good rain and the jumps got hit really hard. So been spending time out there getting them dialed back in and riding. Also finished the DIY project that I was keeping on the down low. Hopefully that edit will be dropping soon. Was super fun being able to build a spot with the homies. Definitely one of those memories I won’t ever forget. Can’t thank Matt Cordova, Evan Lane and Chris Brackamonte for making this happen!

It’s been a great trip so far with everyday bringing new stories along with weather reaching the 40+ temps and then wild storms hitting us with no real warning, we’ve had it all. Here are a few random shots from along the way. Hope to see some crew out at Ulladulla today from 12 along with Batemans Bay around 6 for a roll..

Mick Bayzand has some really good footage throughout this DIY video that a bunch of Melbourne guys were apart of. Check it out…

We’ve been filming a bunch on this trip for a web video along with a bunch of Instagram videos, some of which are below. Follow us on Instagram for many more.

All the way from Poland, Milosz has a 5 minute video compilation of his Instagram videos from the past year. Some of the lines he does are pretty incredible.

The 2nd instalment from Alex and his webisodes. He visits the warehouse, has a roll at Hibiscus park then finishes the day up with a fresh new tattoo that we can all relate to…

Another day, another jam. Thanks to everyone that came out, it was a great afternoon in the sun.

This afternoon head to to the Gold Coast for the session at Pizzy with the crew…

Thanks to everyone that came out last night, it was a super fun session. Shoutout to The Village and Chris Courtenay for handling it all.

After a good night last night, let’s keep it rolling this afternoon at Fairfield…

Tonight, head down to The Village for a session with the crew. Should be a fun evening…

Recently Alex spent a week in Melbourne and used that time to tear up some of the best transition Melbourne has to offer. Come say hi to Alex and all the crew if you are anywhere near any of the jams going down in the coming weeks.

Myself, Polly and Bracamonte spent the past 2 days driving 1800 km’s from Melbourne to Brisbane. We drove inland to mix it up and show Bracamonte some more of the country.

Bracamonte flew into Melbourne a couple days ago and will be spending 5 weeks in Australia. We have a lot planned for this time which should be pretty awesome. For now here are a few clips of Polly and Chris from a few parks in Melbourne.

This is going to be a lot of fun.

A bunch of the crew will be heading out on the road for a couple weeks between Queensland and Canberra with a bunch of stops along the way for sessions with the locals and anyone keen to trip it out.

We will be posting more info regarding times of the sessions but this will give you an idea. Be sure to come out and have a good time with all of us.

The 2nd instalment from our Service Centre video series. A detailed video on how to replace your brake pads on your bike. Any questions just jump on the Youtube page and leave them in the comments and we will do our best to respond to all of them.

A bit of a behind the scenes look into a day out riding with Alex. He spends the day with Boyd Hilder hitting up Pizzy park on the Gold Coast.

Happy new year everyone! Thanks for the support over the past year. Let’s make this one a banger!

Bobbie has a very in-depth bike check interview over on the BMX Union website, check out all the images and info right here.

The latest complete bikes range is something we worked very hard on and they’ve been going great across the world. Here is a little re-cap of the entire range…

Back in September Victor Salazar, Alex Hiam, Chris Bracamonte, Nathan Sykes, Clint Millar and Keith Treanor took a week trip up to Oregon, met up with Paddy Gross and thanks to Bracamonte we have a really good 9 minute video for you guys. Chris nailed it on this, showcasing the good vibes that great times that went down on the road. Wish I was there. Thanks to all the locals who welcomed the crew everywhere they went.

Be sure to check out latest issue (Jan/Feb) of Ride BMX which as a great feature article from the trip along with Nathan scoring the cover of the same issue.

Yo !

Last week I flew to Melbourne for two Events going down in the same week that I wanted to be apart of. So I figured why not , I love Melbourne it’s such a amazing city , any reason to be there is good ! I was staying at Cooper Brownlees house , the Filmer for Colony BMX. We ended up filming a lot with our spare time and had a really productive week. I will have a new clip from my week in Melbourne dropping sometime in the next 2 weeks.

At the start of the week was Bendigo Bmx Jam that was for a Connections BMX shop . It was a awesome turn out and good to meet all the homies and ride with everyone. Then at the end of my stay there was another BMX jam that was a Street ride through the city. good to see so many Riders apart of it. I attached some photos from my week in Melbourne.

On the January 7th of Jan I go on a big roadtrip with some of the team for a week. It’s a shop Tour from Brisbane to Sydney to Canberra stopping at all main skateparks that Colony will be having big Jams at. And filming and shooting pics along the way and promoting my Signature frame , bars, forks & seat.

Mid Jan when I arrive home and My homie Dave from America is coming to stay at my house to film a new edit from Jan – Febuary. I filmed a lot with him when I was in USA this year and stoked to have him coming out and to be able to show him our amazing country. Gonna be good times. We have planned our own little road trip from Feb 1 – 12th. we are taking a week to drive down to SYD , Stopping at all the beaches etc. then spending 4 days in Sydney… Then finishing it off at a concert we all booked tickets for. I will be taking my little car and we will be camping the whole way there, Filming our own Web video.

Super Excited..

Then March I’m off to France to compete in Fise World coatest.

Alex’s most recent video…

Hey guys!

Ahhhh summer – it’s here! I’m writing my first update from Adelaide, where I’m originally from but last lived here about 10 years or so ago before I went to Europe, Brisbane and a bunch of other places.

So the past few months have been beyond hectic with selling a house in Victoria, emptying and sorting out life, then packing everything into a truck and driving it over to Adelaide to start a new life. In between all this I’m stoked that I’ve been able to keen a fair bit of riding going which has been awesome.

I had a few really good demos that I did just before coming to Adelaide. The first one was with Nikon Australia where I worked with professional sports and action photographer, Mark Watson (who is a ninja when it comes to getting dope shots!). Mark was doing workshops over 3 days at the Nikon Digital Show that they were running at the Melbourne Convention Centre and what better way to instruct photographers than having a live test subject to photograph – me! So it was pretty awesome that flatland got centre stage and BMX got taken to a much different audience. After the workshops, we headed out into Melbourne and managed to catch some really good photos.

After the Nikon demos I had a week of riding at home before I flew out to Tasmania where I did the Derby River Derby festival. I had done this demo a few years back and it was a really good, chilled out vibe and more importantly a good crowd and there is also an awesome riding spot to have there. A lot of demos you do, you sometimes get pretty ordinary places to ride so it was really nice to have somewhere legit.

Massive thanks and shoutout to Mark Watson and Nikon for the workshops and also Matty Wootton and the rest of the Derby River Derby guys for inviting me out – cheers!

Since being back in Adelaide I’ve been trying to get myself sorted with my old riding spots. Once life settles back into a normal routine I have some really big things that I’d like to get onto for 2016 so watch this space!
