Nathan Sykes and friend Matt Cordova had the idea of creating a quarter pipe and taking it up onto a mountain not far from their place. Ride BMX posted a video and a bunch of photos from the session which you can check here…
Yo guys!
Hope all is well. Just been keeping busy with work and riding while the weathers been good. Other than that, lots of night time-lapse stuff up in the mountains. Tomorrow I’ll be driving down to the coast for a week to hopefully get an edit finished and hang out with some good people. Stoked! Here’s a little snap from Penticton skatepark in the Okanagan.

West Aus rider David Pinelli has been riding for Colony for a little while now thanks to Local BMX Shop. We are stoked to have this video out which we filmed over the past 6 months between Melbourne and Western Australia.
Special thanks to Chris Hyland for the additional footage.
Hey guys! It’s been an up an down month for me! Dropped my welcome to Pro team edit which I was very stoked and thankful for! Lot of hard work and time in that and to be able to have such a nice finished product is the icing on the cake! Cooper put in so much time and energy on it and I can’t thank him enough.
My Locals Only x Colony seat is coming together amazing too. Clint sent over the sample and was able to throw it on my bike! Can’t wait to have these released. Turned out better than I could have imagined.
My parents drove down from Oregon for a week and was able to spend a full week with them around California. They both were sick and unfortunately got me sick too. I have been battling with that the last week and a half trying to get healthy. It hit me pretty hard! Hopefully be back to 100% by the end of this week. Health is one of those things we always take for granted, it’s something that we don’t think about much but when your body decides to shut down and try to fight some sort of infection it really sucks! Stay healthy and stay happy!
Justin sent through some nice shots of his current ride. Featuring the Miner frame, Guardian Forks, Contour Rims, Front Wasp Hub, Anyway Plastic Pegs and 22’s Cranks.
Our good friend Pat Kelly puts his front brakes to some really good use in this TCU video with Dirt Ron. These guys are always entertaining…
What’s going on guys, I’ve been keeping busy lately between finishing up some filming projects coming out over the next few weeks, working and messing about with my car. Love it. Also now running one of my prototype CC combo seats, absolutely love it and couldn’t be more stoked on how it turned out. I think it’s the ‘happy medium’ between a fat and mid seat. Anyways for now heres a couple photos from the last few weeks.
There is such a buzz around for this jam. Looking forward to early June thanks to the guys at Backbone BMX. Get in the car and make the trip with some crew, you won’t regret it. A good chunk of the team will be on hand so come say hi.
Hey Guys !! Hope everyone had a good Easter Weekend. I have been out on a mission with Troy Charlseworth filming a lot for a Fox project. Stoked with the clips we’ve got so far, And have some cool trips planned for it.
I am currently working 2 weeks Labouring, mixing concrete for Clint Kernal Bensley. It’s bloody hard work but I like it, Just feels like a free workout haha! I also just booked flights over seas with Boyd Hilder. We plan to goto England, Compete in NASS, Germany , Then go to USA for 3 months !! Coouldn’t be more stoked thanks Jay Dean at flight centre Victoria Point for the deal !

Mick has had a couple of rough years with injuries. But in-between those injuries he’s come through with some great footage for this video.
Jack was invited to the China X-Games this year so this morning he is jumping on a plane and spending a week there for the comp. Best of luck brother, enjoy!
2013 video from Chris, mostly filmed on a road trip we did between Sydney and North Queensland. Very keen for fresh Courtenay footage…
Paddy Gross is a ramp technician, if you follow him on Instagram (@paddygross) you will know what I am talking about…
About a month ago myself, Jourdan Barba, Nathan Sykes, Chris Bracamonte and Polly headed up to Fresno for a jam with the locals at the Mosqueda park along with playing our current FREE dvd up on the wall ride after the session. The day was super fun with a large crew coming out and enjoying the day. Massive thanks to Ryan Garcia, Andreas Wenzel and Chris Bracamonte for making the day what it was. Even after the jam the guys helped us out with the issue of our only car key breaking in half but that’s a whole other story. Here is the video from the day, hopefully it portrays how much fun we had…
Nathan sent us through a few shots from the local dirt quarter he built up a while back. He recently cleaned it up and roasted a few moves out of it. Thanks to Matt Cordova for the images…
And incase you missed his new video that dropped last week…
The crew at Backbone have been hard at work filming for their DVD for the past 3 years and it’s all coming to completion very soon.
Be sure to hit up the ACT JAM in June for a great weekend and the premiere of the dvd. A large portion of the Colony Team will be in town for the weekend, should be a blast !!
The trailer is a great example of what you can expect from the DVD…
You should know that Nick Richardson is the man behind iconic Colony signature products like the Bloody Oath Frame & Bars & the Gnarkill Frame & Bars. Since leaving the BMX world a few years ago, he has been killing it with his own brand – Tide Apparel.
I for one, am so stoked to see Nick have great success from his hard work over the recent years with the brand. Bloody proud of ya Richo !!
Check out this interview below about what he has been up too the last few years. Go give him a follow on Instagram @tideapparel & grab a shirt or two on his website here now.

We’ve been flowing Tanguy some parts over in France for a few months now and today thanks to Jeremy Gonzales we have a welcome video all finished up. Tangy really does kill that indoor park…
Brandon is all healed up from his crash in California recently and back on the bike! This Instagram video shows he is definitely back on it.Follow him on Instagram for more clips and epic scenery shots.
Michal Mycek gets a session in at a nice looking park in Poland and does one of the longest ice 180’s I’ve seen…
I traveled to Adelaide for the Easter long weekend to hang out and ride with some interstate friends from Eat Children Crew. I got to ride a few parks and street spots that I hadn’t ridden before which was a treat and hanging out with those dudes is always a good time. I also filmed a bunch of clips with Rhys, Doug and Moz and some little instavideos which you can see below.
Thanks to Rhys, Liam, Tony and Moz for letting me stay at their houses and driving me about to ride!
This weekend in Maryborough we are supporting the jam that is going down in support of Darcy Nicholson who passed away recently. Make sure you get out there for the session…
Any footage of Jourdan is good footage, some of these clips might be old but his technical rail moves never get old…
The guys at AVE BMX over in Poland recently released a team DVD which to me is more of a movie compared to a regular DVD. It’s quite long but really well put together and both Mycek (starts at 5.50) and Milosz (starts at 40.45) have great sections within the video. It’s now online so get yourself settled and sit back for an hour and enjoy a great example of BMX at it’s purest…
Good to see Alex back killing it in this FOX video that dropped today, loved the tooth to tuck he does at Bondi, so awesome!
