Escondido park
Earlier in the week we were looking into parks to ride in the San Diego area and this park popped up via Google which caught our eye. It happened to be a bike only night that night so we hit it up and there was only 2 other people there. The Esondido park was super fun and no doubt we will be heading back many more times. Here are a few quick shots from the session.
Instagram Slam
We hooked up with some of the crew from TCU and filmed this Instagram Slam at LAX plaza, the place was slippery but fun none the less.
Zac Miner update
So despite the weather being beyond average for the last week and a bit, I actually took myself out about two weeks ago riding Civic skate park where I landed with my guts on the end of the bars at the bottom of the ramp it actually scared me for that split second, but the old bar ends saved me from in-palling myself. Seriously kid, run bar ends that shit serious!
Also Last weekend me and my housemate went up to Cairns for 4 days, such an amazing spot up there, didn’t get to ride as I was injured but still so much to see and do up there off the bike. That Place is like Jurassic Park, the rainforest up there is amazing!
Also just a reminder about ACT jam on Anzac Day weekend! Everyone should bring a crew and hang out, it’s gunna be a loose weekend.
Rancho La Cienega plaza video
Last week we filmed this plaza video with Zach from Vital. The session was a good time and the plaza was a treat. That last clip from Justin is ridiculous!
Mike Brennan – Warehouse sessions
Due to the cold weather on the East Coast of the USA Mike has been keeping busy riding some makeshift rails and ledges.
Thanks to Scott McMenamin for filming this for us.
Attila Godi and nose wheelies
Attila Godi our man in Hungary, shows you how to do nose wheelies in this video. It is in Hungarian but still cool to watch. I only wish I could do this trick, props to all those that can. Hopefully a couple more can do so after watching Atila here. Attila rides for us through Elite BMX Shop in Hungary who have been doing Colony for many years now, hit them up for all your Colony needs.

Ryan Winterbotham video
Ryan came out of nowhere with this one and it’s real solid. Ryan is heading over to California for a couple of months this week so keep a look out for the Englishman roasting at the parks.
Wallpaper – Luke Parker
Shoutout to Dave Rubinich for shooting this photo of Luke from a recent trip to Adelaide. Luke smashed it all trip so be on the lookout for a video in the near future. You can download this image for your desktop background right here!
California update
Mike and Justin were out with us this week. Things started out good until Mike tried an insane gap out to short rail and took it hard, like real hard. His wrist is beat up and hasn’t been able to ride. Justin has been killing it on the ledge game which has been a treat to film and watch. Jack has been going hard on the rail game and we also filmed a plaza video with Zach from Vital so keep an eye out for that soon.

More from Alex Hiam
Hey Guys !!! I’m currently on the 3rd week of The Wandering Trip!!!
I’m having a blast with all the dudes !! It’s pretty cool not living out of a house! We can ride a park and if we enjoy it enough, we will just park the RV and sleep over night and wake up and ride it again !! We have been doing all our washing at Laundry mats and signed up at the local gym to use showers! It’s pretty convenient that there’s a cafe right next to the gym with FREE wifi as well!!!
We have one last week in the RV, then most of us all fly home.

Mick Bayzand hit us up with a little update, read on below…
You may not of known but I broke my wrist a while ago, so I have been laying low of late working on some art projects to keep me sane. But I am back on the bike now and keen as ever. This year I plan on it being a very productive one and I am already working on a few different projects, so keep your eyes out and keep shredding.
