Alex hung out with Adam22 from TCU for the day in Long Beach along with Victor and Pinelli who all came through with some great clips. Alex just arrived back in Australia but Pinelli is there for a few more weeks so if you see him around make sure you hit him up.

It’s that time of the year again… the good guys at Local BMX are putting on a Halloween jam & we’re helping out with some prizes & support. Should be a great night for all. If you’re in the area, make sure you get along for it.

Yo yo !!

Dropping this week are the latest limited colours in both the Endeavour and also the Premise complete bikes. These will be available in Australia at all dealers in the coming days with the rest of the world in the next few weeks. More photos can be found here and here.

A close up look at the all new 2016 Alex Hiam signature Sweet Tooth Pro complete bike which is available now via your favourite shop or mail order. You can find out even more about the bikes right here.

Over on BMX Union Paddy has a in-depth and great interview about BMX and life in general. Paddy has had a pretty action packed life so it’s well worth the read. Check it here.

Hey guys! Finally winter has passed and spring is here meaning that I can go back to riding regularly and without worrying if I’m gonna snap a finger off because of the cold!

To pass the final month of winter in Australia, I headed over to Europe for just under 4 weeks with my lady, Nina. We basically a week in the UK, Lake Como in Italy and in Greece where we did some sailing around the Greek Islands. The bike came with me (of course!) and I managed to get a bit of riding in which was awesome and catch up with a few friends over there while enjoying some awesome Euro summer weather.

The other cool thing was that Nina and I got engaged! Being a bit of Star Wars and James Bond fella, I popped the questions at one of the villas near Lake Como where the movies are filmed, so not only did she say yes but I have an awesome story to go with it haha!

Since being back in Australia it’s been pretty hectic as I’m about to be moving back to Adelaide in the next month which will be awesome. Before I go I’ve got a bunch of shows lined up with Nikon Cameras in Melbourne and at a festival in Derby River in Tasmania. Can’t wait, some good times on the road coming up.

The other thing I am really stoked on is the full 2016 Colony EXON Flatland range is now out and available worldwide. Massive thanks to Clint and everyone at Colony for being behind flatland since day I and making this happen!

Hopefully see all you guys out there riding! Check where I’m at on

Ride on!

SnakeBite BMX posted up a cool photo gallery from the Shred the Rez event that Keith helped put on, check all the photos out right here…

Whilst I was in Adelaide last week I caught up with the crank flip master that is Richard Catanzariti and grab some shots of his rig…

We are supporting the jam that YVCBMX are putting on down at Lilydale bowl in Melbourne later this month. Get down there for a session and free BBQ.

The latest video from Polly which was partly filmed over in California on a trip we took and then finished up back in Australia. Also featuring Tom Stretton and Nathan Sykes…

So unfortunately whilst on the Adelaide trip last week Jack took a fall on some trails and tweaked his knee. Once we got back to Melbourne he had it all checked out which gave us the bad news that he had torn his ACL and fractured his knee. Jack has already kicked everything into gear seeing specialists so we are wishing him the best for a quick surgery and recovery.

Our very own Chris Bracamonte put together this video for RIDE BMX of the recent Shred The Rez comp/jam that went down at Pala park in California. Keith Treanor had a big hand in making this day happen so I am stoked to see it all went well. Both Victor and Alex have clips throughout..

A few of us drive over for the Octoberfest Trails jam in Adelaide on the weekend. Unfortunately both Jack and Dean had a rough first day with Jack tweaking his knee and Dean shaving half his leg off after they both crashed at the jumps in Bordertown on the way over. Dean was able to still ride the weekend and the trails jam was amazing but Jack was down and out. Hopefully his knee is alright. Massive thanks to the City Dirt locals for putting on a great event. No doubt we will be back for it next year.

Crazy to think Josh is only 12. Josh had been riding the 18″ product for a couple years now but recently moved up to the 20″ gear so he put out a video thanks to Matty Rogers of all his recent footage before making the change. Loved the 270 can can…

Jack and Marnold have some great clips in the new Focalpoint mixtape…

Another great month has come and gone! Been getting some good days of riding in with the sunshine a blazing down in SoCal still. Few good rides at FOD with sun falling sooner now but still making the most of the cooler evenings. Joey Cordova is back from his foot injure so the trails have been shouting again! Stoked to have him back on the bike.

Clint was in the states for InterBike and right afterwards we did a trip to Oregon for a week. I was so excited that this trip was happening. First of I’m originally from Oregon so to be able to go on a trip to my home state and take the guys around to spots was a dream come true! So we drove straight up 15 hours and then spent a few days in Eugene/Springfield then went up to Portland for a few days then back down to Eugene then to Redding. Great parks and trails in between and amazing riding by the whole crew on the trip! One of the best trips! Can’t wait to see the edit when it drops.

Our main man Keith Treanor worked for months on his first event along with Dave Brumlow & the Shred The Rez was the end result.

It went down this weekend & here is the first of many video’s to come out from the day no doubt.

Looks like good times were had by all. Look out for clips of our own Victor Salazar & Alex Hiam in the mix. BMX = fun.

Yo yo !!

The good guys over at RIDE posted an in-depth look at our Brethren Brakes. You can read it all here. The brakes are now available at all good bike shops and mail orders.

As we posted the other day, Paddy and Bobbie headed to the Baco jam that happened recently. Both the guys have some great moves on the mini ramp section towards the end of the video, check it out…

Hey everyone,

Bobbie, his lovely girlfriend Brittany and myself took a trip to Wisconsin last weekend for the Baco-A-Go-Go jam. One reason for me was to spend time with Bobbie since we live quite a distance apart from each other and if you know Bobbie then you know the more you’re around this guy around the better. The other reason was hopefully to meet one of my biggest riding influence Dave Freimuth who was stoked that we came out, and most of the Baco Crew. We also had the chance to hang out with BMX media pioneer Chris Rye who paved the road starting Props Video Magazine back in the 1993. After 6 hours driving from Missouri through Iowa up to Wisconsin Bobbie and me decided to give the Miniramp a quick hello session friday night and continued riding the Mini all saturday long until the #frontbrakebrethren jam.

Most of saturday was for the Park contest and one thing I noticed was that the beginner classes were split in age groups which i haven’t seen in a while and it was awesome to see that everyone had a fair chance to ride. Pro Park was amazing to watch and they sure killed it with all the things you can imagine can be done in a flip or a whip. Pretty impressive for sure! Last Comp was the one for all the riders who mostly use their left fingers. Since people with riding frontbrakes are still rare we’ve had a cool little group of around 12 people such as Tj Henderson, Patrick Kelly, Nick Harkins, Travis McCray, Dan Sieg, Lucas Hastay, Bobbie, myself and a few others. Since the jam was held towards the evening it started getting cold but many good actions by everyone created heat on the deck.

Tj Henderson took the trophy at the end after pulling his ridiculous nosepick combo “nosepick to fakie to backwards nosepick to fakie over the spine to fakie nosepick whip”! You’ll have to watch the upcoming video to get it and he well deserved the win after trying this for quite a while in the cold and committing to it. Bobbie and me also did our thing and it should be good video with a lot of unique things in it including the After Party that got a little out of hand and had a lot of fire involved. At the end we had the best time with a lot of good people, BMX legends, new friends, old friends, beers, a lot of fire and riding our bikes. Thanks to the Baco Crew for the fun weekend that was just about BMX. Good times and we’ll be back next year! Cheers, Paddy & Bobbie.

Hey guys just checking in.

So finally after all the nonsense going on with my knee injury, I have an appointment with a private orthopedic surgeon at the end of October. The knee itself has actually and unfortunately been getting worse over the last few weeks so this is what has led to getting a referral for someone in the private sector. Fingers crossed.

Other than that I have been trying to keep as active as physically possible. Loving the weather up in sunny and stormy Queensland.

If you haven’t seen our new edit, Bobbie Altiser and myself have a new edit and you should check it out even if you hate me because Bobbie makes it worth it haha. I can’t wait to jump on one of the new Colony Monash frames when I’m able, so damn sexy!

Also it’s my birthday on the 7th of this month so follow me on Instagram and send me presents hahah @tom_stretton

Until next time, Peace!

Andre recently moved to the UK and has wasted no time getting into the swing of things. Thanks to Pinderbmx for the great photos of Andre flowing through the Unite3sixty park in Birmingham…

Long time supporters of Colony, the guys down at Yarra Valley Cycles in Lilydale, Victoria recently set-up an entire floor dedicated to BMX. The place is looking dialled with plenty of stock including everything we make. If you are in the Lilydale area make sure you check it out before you ride the bowl down the street. Check them on Instagram via this link.

Both Jack and Dean have some pretty heavy clips in this video that Troy Charlesworth put together recently from Flem Banks jam that went down earlier this year.
