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.

Hot moves from some of the crew in this mixtape from the ECC. Ricky’s last clip is amazing.

Simon O’Brien is the man. We have some big things underway in regards to our Colony flatland range for 2015. More on this soon.

Check out the video below from Simon.

As usual we got behind the Flem Banks Jam, This was such a good day as you will see from the video below. There is also a large photo gallery from the day which you can view right here…

Nathan sent through some rad looking shots of his current ride after having his bike stolen back in September. Nathan rocks the 2015 21″ Burna frame, Dagger Forks, Square Back stem, V2 Colonial cranks, Fantastic Plastic pedals, Wasp rear wheel, Clone front wheel, Fat Shield seat, Pivotal post and Talon bars.

We finally got a chance to upload this to the worldwide web! Zac’s part from the 2011 Colony DVD was one hell of a section!

You can check out his signature Miner Frame by clicking here now. Available worldwide right now.

In between these crazy storms I’ve been getting a bit of a ride in on the new bike. I haven’t had a new set up in so long, so I’m really enjoying it! Also getting used to a new style of bike is always fun. I have an edit coming out shortly, which I’ve been working on for a while…watch out for that! Follow me on Instagram @simonobrienofficial and my Facebook athlete page!

We’ve been dropping some solid videos from the team over the past couple months. Here are a few of them incase you missed any or you just need something to get you stoked to head out for a roll…

Our 2015 Premise complete bike is our best selling complete bike & for many good reasons. Full CrMo construction, full sealed bearing, great choices of colours & a great all rounder geometry make it a great bike right out of the box.

Check them out at a Colony dealer near you now. Click here in the meantime for more info.

Yo yo !!

Connor is reppin’ our product through Albes Bmx and thanks to Alex Burnside we have this brand new video of him which is packed full of dialled lines. Hit play and enjoy…

2014 has been a hectic year! Crazy to think that it is December all ready, it wasn’t that long ago I was thinking what I wanted to do this year riding wise and now I’m starting to think about 2015.

The past few months have been super busy. I got a chance to go on an awesome riding trip to Japan for 8 days with some really good crew. Such a good place for BMX for sure with so many young riders that dominate! We rode at Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto – all with amazing scenes and Japanese awesomeness.

On getting back I got the demos done for the T20 International Cricket competition in Adelaide and Melbourne. We had a really small space to ride, but stoked that over 50,000 people got to see BMX and Flatland up close and personal over the two shows. Good times.

We also recently had the last round of the national DownUnderGround BMX Flatland series that Colony are behind and have supported since day One (thanks guys!). Strong turnout in Pro and I ended up finishing in 3rd place and 2nd overall for the year end title. Pretty happy, but keen to do better next year for sure!

The best thing that has happened though… The prototype frame and parts that Simon O’Brien and myself have been working on designing with Clint and Colony on, have arrived. This includes: frame, forks, bars, stem, cranks, sprocket and pegs. They are riding really good and the feedback on them from everyone has been awesome so very stoked on that for sure. Massive thanks to Clint and Colony for supporting Flatland all these years!!

Summer officially has landed so it’s all about riding as much as possible! Hit me up on instagram @shanebadman

We’ve just released in selected countries such as Australia, the USA & Spain these very limited edition Stainless Steel finish frame kits using our 2015 frames. This includes Mick Bayzand’s Burna frame, Alex Hiam’s Sweet Tooth V4 frame, Zac Miner’s Miner V3 frame & the team issue Castaway frame.

Yo yo !!

Shuhei has a couple raw clips up on the Addiction Youtube page, always good to see footage from Japan.

Andre sent over a few shots from recent sessions over in Brazil. Thanks to Scott Connor for shooting them.

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

Justin has a cool interview over on the BMX Union website which is a good read, giving you an insight into Justin’s life. While you are at it, peep his latest video that dropped just over a week ago…

We are getting behind the Sunday sessions going down in Sydney during the sunny months. Head down to Mac Fields in a couple weeks for a good time. That park definitely has something for everyone…

Hey Guys,

I just built up my new Colony Burna frame which I can’t thank Clint and Colony enough for it. It’s such a honour to have my name on something I love and care so much about and for so many years now. I would allso like to thank everyone who has supported me or bought one of my signature parts.

I am still off my bike at the moment with my hand injury but it has been nice just rolling around again witch is a step in the right direction. I’ve been doing lots of physio and stuff to get my hand back on track so I can come back in the new year killing it again.

The DownUnderGround flatland series for which we’ve been long time supporters of recently just had their latest video round go down. You can see the winners & all videos entered by clicking here now. Shane Badman came out in 2nd place & you might even notice Mr. Millar in the mix with a respectable 3rd place? A big thanks to Freestyle Now & BMX Flatland Australia for getting behind these events.

The finals are on this weekend in melbourne, so if you’re into flatland & want to see what it’s all about head on in to the Imax in Melbourne for some flatland action. Click here for more info.

Tom broke his foot just as we were finishing up filming for his latest video but fortunately he had stacked plenty of wizard moves to be able to finish it up. Filmed around Australia and the USA.

We’ve also got a desktop download for you guys of this awesome shot Jack Birtles took, you can download it here.

Looking for a new bike? Our 2015 range of complete bikes are our best yet & are available now worldwide.

The Premise is our best selling model & for good reason. Full CrMo everything, full sealed everything & all at a great price. It has a 20.75″ top tube length & geometry which make it great for all kinds of riding.

The Inception & new for this year, the Inception 18″ are perfect for those smaller riders out there. The Inception features the same great spec level as the Premise just in a smaller package with a 19.8″ top tube.

The Inception 18″ is built around an 18″ wheel set & scaled down frame, forks, bars, cranks & even a shorter reach stem. perfect for those that are not quite big enough to handle a 20′ bike but also want the best complete bike available.

The Endeavour was our first bike in our fleet & still remains one of our more popular models. packed full of goodness usually reserved for bikes with a much higher price tag. The Endeavour ticks all the boxes.

Topping off our range is the Castaway. Featuring an after market Castaway frame, dagger Forks & Pinnacle & Pintour wheel sets with our very popular Wasp Hubs right out of the box. It’s as pro as pro get’s in a complete bike.

Check all our bikes out at a dealer near you now. If they don’t have them, tell them to order one in for you.

Yo yo !!

Pinelli and I have been trying to get together many times over the past couple months whilst he has been living in Melbourne but the weather and our schedules weren’t on our sides much. However the past couple weeks we’ve had some luck and got started on filming his next video. Here are a couple shots from the days out.

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

Hey guys !

I have good news!! If you missed it online,I am stoked to announce I am now riding for Fox Australia. Fox flew me to Melbourne and took me around the whole HQ of fox. I got to meet the whole crew at fox and they all seem super cool. I even caught up with Matt Holmes during the HQ tour ! After meeting everyone at Fox, Mick Sinclair took me to Hosier Lane for a photo shoot the new Summer range catalogue.

My Wrist feels better everyday. I have been smashing my physio everyday, It kills me ,but no pain no gain! Haha . It’s starting to get real hot in Brisbane so I have been swimming a bunch and playing around with my camera & photography again. It’s been good having more activities to do as my wrist gets better. I can finally use my camera again because I got a new Macbook pro. My last one was stolen last month!

Cooper Brownlee put a Gallery up of Myself over the past 8 years. It’s crazy it all feels just like yesterday! Thanks Cooper for capturing all the good times over the years. Check it here.

Our boy Chris Bracamonte put together this video from his trip to Texas Toast, I think his description is better than anything I could write so… “10 passionate BMX riders and two dogs travel in an RV for two weeks from Oakhurst, Ca to Austin, Tx and making pitstops along the way including Santa Cruz, Lake Havasu, Albuquerque and the Grand Cyn.”

And Chris’s video that we dropped a couple weeks back incase you missed that…

Nathan Sykes roasts it hard along with his good friend Matt Cordova in this video for there clothing sponsor 100%. Bowl dogging’ at its finest…

So stoked to have this video done of Justin, we filmed most of it on 2 trips around the USA with him along with some some town goods to finish it all off. Thanks to Ryan Scott, Ryan Landman and Jeremie Infelise for helping film.

Our Guardian & Dagger Forks have stood the test of time as some of the most reliable forks in the game. For those that want that extra bling outside of good old Black or Chrome we now offer them for a one off limited run, in Rainbow.

If you live in Australia, you are lucky enough to have access to a very limited run (18 pces only exist) of our 4 piece Hardy Bars in Rainbow. But be fast on these babies.

Our Rainbow Contour Rims have just landed again (for the last time) in both the USA & Australia. Why not get them built up like these full Rainbow wheels sets below?

Of course we also do much of of our alloy parts in Rainbow as well. Such as Squareback & Official stems, gyro plates, CC sprockets, Pivotal seat posts, Wasp Hubs or Free Coaster Hubs & don’t forget our Rainbow Spokes.

These look great in the custom made Front & Rear Clone Wheels we have also available in Australia while stocks last.

Check them all out at a dealer near you or if they don’t have them, ask them to order in for you.

Yo yo !!
