Hey guys, just a quick update on what I’m up to.

I recently moved down to Melbourne and in with another Colony rider you all know, Polly. First of all i’d like to say thank you to him because he really has stuck his neck out for me in ways i’d never expect anyone to. much love brother.

It’s been quite a busy time with work and then traveling on the “Have Fun, Ride Bikes” trip. Honestly one of the best trips I’ve been on. Always a treat to spend time with Bobbie Altiser and watch the absolute nonsense that he is capable of on the bike. Big thanks to Millar and Cooper for their hard work, the guys on the trip for being amazing and ever single person that came out to ride with us. What a blast.

Realistically though, I’m just thoroughly enjoying the change and being back on my bike. My ankle is feeling good and since being in Melbourne it’s been a lot easier to film with the main man Cooper Brownlee. Can’t wait to get another edit out for you guys to judge on various social media sites hahaha. Much love.

The 6th annual Blake Butterfield jam is going down this Sunday in Sydney at Menai park. It’s for a great cause so be sure to get down there for a session.

Part 2 of the trip from a video perspective. We spent 3 days travelling south through New South Wales and this video is packed full of riding footage and some good times we had along the way…

It pained me not to be able to make it over for this but Paddy Gross made it down to ride the first annual front brake fiesta in California. Looks like it was a great time for sure. Front brakes are alive !! I hope to make it to the next one. Thanks to Area 43 for hosting the day !!

As you would have seen if you follow us on Instagram, we are currently doing a 2 week trip between Brisbane and Melbourne hitting up a bunch of parks, shops and anything else along the way with some of the crew.

Here is a sort of behind the scenes look into the first 5 days of the trip along with some clips we didn’t keep for other projects.

Riders featured: Chris Courtenay, Bobbie Altiser, Zac Miner, Tom Stretton, Clint Millar, Ricky Cantanzariti, Polly, Dean Anderson, Keith Treanor and Luke Parker.

If you are in Sydney today, head out to the Bass Hill park around 3pm for a session…

I worked on the set of China’s next top model on the weekend with Frenchie, got paid a bunch to do basically nothing and just ride and pose for the cameras as the models did there thing. Can’t wait to see the episode, there’s a photo of about twenty Chinese dudes strapping like 100 go-pros to our bikes.

Our French connection Bruno Faucon comes through with a great video for 2014. Thanks to Unleaded for hooking it up.

A bunch of the crew are up in Brisbane right now before we head south for a week. Here are a few random shots from the past couple days. More to come…

10 years ago our warehouse manager Glen McLaughlin put out a DVD called Young Guns which featured a good chunk of the Queensland BMX scene including Millar and Glen himself. Check this out for a good history lesson…

Ricky is one creative rider that’s for sure! He threw together his favourite clips from edits he filmed in 2014 and the result is six minutes of tech wizardry…

Frenchie filmed and edited this park video of JK for TCU filmed throughout Melbourne over a few sessions at some local parks. Super hyped on that tooth over pegs to nose manual…

Some of the crew are hitting the road this week, starting off in Brisbane and heading south to Melbourne to film, visits shops and hang out with the locals. Hopefully you guys can make it out to one of these stops. Keep an eye on our Instagram for any extra stops that we will be making…

Jourdan features heavily throughout this day in the life with his buddy Dylan Stark…

We’re proud to introduce 16 year old, Jackie Straiton to the USA flow team with this banging park edit. Jack filmed this over 6 months & it’s packed full of some great moves throughout Florida. Check it out !!

A huge thanks to Emmitt BMX for introducing us to Jackie.

Yo yo !!

2020 posted up a bit of a review of the 2015 Castaway complete. Check it out here.

As with most jams we got behind the most recent Sunday Sessions jam in Sydney which took place down at the Macquarie Fields park. Kurt Teague was on hand to shoot the evenings happenings and he came through with a good documentation of the jam.

If you are in the Florida area next week make sure you get down to the Skatepark of Tampa for the Spot Roast bowl jam at 7pm on the 9th of January which we are supporting. You can sign up here…

From all of us at Colony we would like to thank you for all of the support and good times in 2014. I gathered some of my favourite shots from the year for a bit of a recap… Let’s do it all again this year!

Larry from Stacked BMX in Riverside, CA recently had a jam outside the shop which was littered with flat rails and ledges for everyone to shred. Jourdan features throughout this video doing some really creative moves on the rails set-ups…

Jack Kelly had a rough day last week taking a few harsh slams but getting up and continuing the day out but towards the end of the day he took a fall which did’t look that bad but unfortunately tweaked his foot which is going to keep him on the bike for a couple weeks. For now check out his most recent video.

Some how he got back up from this crash…

Some of the crew have clips throughout the left overs video from the Flem Banks jam that went down in Melbourne last month…

Our friends over at Primary Threads just changed up their website, it’s looking a treat. Check it out here…

Caught up with Tom and Luke earlier this week and one of the spots we hit with the guys they were really into it and some moves went down. Here are a few photos from the session…

Luke has been running one of the new Castaway frames for a few months now so we caught up and shot some photos of the rig. Luke runs the 20.8 version of the frame along with Guardian forks, Square Back stem, 24/7 bars, 22’s cranks, Menace Guard sprocket, Fantastic Plastic pedals, Wasp hubs, Pintour rims and Anyway plastic pegs.

Luke has been working on a few video projects ever since he got back from his broken foot so keep on the look out for them to surface in the coming months.

The guys at Strictly BMX have built up this amazing looking custom Sweet Tooth. It’s packed full of our products and is set at a great price. Hit this link to see more of it.

Incase you missed the catalogue we dropped a few weeks ago, it’s loaded with all the bikes that are available now worldwide. Also spread out across the catalogue are some great riding shots of some of the team…

We put this video together to give you guys an overview of the 2015 Colony Castaway which is currently available worldwide from all Colony stockists. More info right here

Hey guys!

I just returned home after road tripping down to Bondi beach along the coast & back. I got invited to be the Photographer & the back up filmer for Epic TV with Brett Trigg filming Ryan Guettlers Australian web series. I would have been a rider on this trip but unfortunately my injured wrist wasn’t healed in time.. I should be back on the bike next month.

Even though I couldn’t ride, I had such a amazing time being on the road with Ryan, Kelsey & Brett. Ryan proposed to his girlfriend Kelsey to start the trip on a good note. We had 2 days driving down to bondi beach, Stopping at the Big prawn, Big banana and a couple of Zoo’s. When we got to Sydney we did some touristy stuff to show kelsey around Australia. We went to the Harbour Bridge and Opera house. The day after Bondi Beach Kelsey flew back to the USA so it was just the boys left.. This is when the road trip home started. We hit Newcastle Beach skatepark, Port Maqaurie, Ballina, Nimbin snake run and Beenleigh for the final ride. Most of the skateparks we went to had a really cool scenery on the beach. The weather was stinking hot the whole time and we got hit with the classic Summer time thunder storms every afternoon as well. One of the highlights of the trip was partying in Byron with the crew from Brisbane. I met a lot of cool people on this trip and learnt a lot of cool things. Mostly about filming and photography and learnt it takes a lot more hard work than it looks. Respect to all the filmers and photographers out there.

Thanks, Can’t wait to be back riding. Hit Instagram @alexhiam for some more pics !!!

On the last day in Melbourne with Zac we hit up a couple spots to finish off a few things he wanted to film. Tom Stretton was also in town so he and Polly came along for the ride and fun times were had by all.

Tight spot for a tooth handled by Stretton.

After nearly losing his face, Zac came out of this pipe with a pretty awesome clip.

Polly finds a table spot everywhere we go.

Summer days at the most scenic spot in Melbourne.

Polly taking it all in at the beach.

I even got a roll in at the U-pipe.

Over the weekend Zac came down to Melbourne for 3 days to film for his next video project and although we had some security guard problems we came out on top at the end of the 3 days. Zac really produced some serious clips and put in work doing so. Here are a few shots from the days without giving away too much…

The vent has always been an issue for this wall ride but Zac locked and loaded and roasted straight past it.

This was insane, great way to finish off the day.

I think Zac was just happy to be alive after this clip.

We’d been kicked out of this spot on Zac’s last filming trip to Melbourne but fortunately luck was on our side this day.

Game changer.

2 days in a row with no luck thanks to security being super tight now days at this place.
