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.

We showed the trailer to this last week but today you have the full 9 minute video from the trip that Ryan organised which Alex and Chris were also on. Seriously the level of riding in this from everyone is amazing, real good vibe swell, enjoy…

On the 12th of April, there will be the annual BMX comp at the park in Springfield, QLD held by the Goodna Youth Service. As always, we’re supporting the event & should be a good day. Head on over for a chance to win a bunch of prizes. Check the flyer below for full details.

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 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.

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!

Ryan packed a solid crew in his RV including Alex and Chris and hit the road up to Arizona. Going off this trailer the video should be real good which will be dropping this week.

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.

Winter is done in Canada now so you should be seeing a lot more of Brandon Van Dulken.

This Sunday from 3pm till 5pm, we’re having an in-store jam at East County BMX down in San Diego with a good selection of the team including Mike Brennan, Jourdan Barba, Jack Kelly, Justin Care, Bobbie Altiser, Alex Hiam, Chris Courtenay, Chris Bacramonte & Cooper Brownlee. All the guys from the East County BMX / Colony flow team will also be there on the day. Come along to meet & ride with some of the team guys. There will also be free food & drinks along with some giveaways on the day. Should be an awesome day.

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.

Yo yo !!

Luke sent through a few photos that were taken at the Moomba comp in Melbourne last weekend, killin’ it. Follow Luke on Instagram @lukeparkerbmx

Just started the curve wall the other day, hoping it’s all done by time act jam rolls around. Anyways get to Canberra in April, so worth it!!!

Ricky Catanzariti has a quick fire feature over on the Focalpoint website, check it out now here.

Yo yo !!

Jack Kelly and myself are in California for the next month filming with a few crew for some up coming projects. We had a good day out with Jourdan and Larry today along with Daniel Johnson. More updates to come. Thanks to Larry for the crankarm photo.

Last weekend Luke Parker ended up winning the Moomba comp in Melbourne and Dean finished up 3rd. Both have some good clips in this video from the day.

Tom just shot over an update which made my day because we always talk about this photo and how it was the first time I saw him ride, I was blown away by all his cross footed moves. As Tom mentions, we are now good friends, travelled the world together and spent countless hours filming clips, all of which I hope continue to happen for years to come.

“Just found this old photo of me in an early FocalPoint magazine deep in my cupboard haha.

This was my first ever photo in a magazine. It’s pretty funny to think that Cooper Brownlee took this photo years before I even met him and now I get to call him a good friend and our team manager haha. Thanks for putting me in the magazine and not knowing my name, Coops haha.

Also the photo down the bottom is from out filming for an edit I’m working on. Been having a lot of fun. Thanks Kyle for the photo.

Now go ride your bike!!

Back in the day, way before Colony ever existed, Clint Millar had a few frames made under the name of Prody. This was back in 1993/1994 when it was pretty much impossible to get a frame that would not break in a few weeks. So him & another friend, Michael Canfield, enlisted the help of a local Brisbane based frame builder called G&J Cycles to make them the ideal frame. Hence the Prody Frame was born.

Built to withstand any punishment that could be thrown at them back then, they were robust. Till this day, not one ever cracked or broke. Only 4 frames were ever made so they were very limited.

Fast forward 20 or so years & we have here the all new Prody frame. It features that classic early ’90’s look but with all of today’s finer features like modern geometry, Mid BB & Integrated headset. These new frames are only about 200 grams heavier than our current frames now, not bad at all.

Both Clint Millar & Bobbie Altiser are amongst a select few riding these frames right now & so far feedback has been very favourable.

These limited frames will be made available come late April in the USA, Australia & the UK. They will be offered in Gloss Black, Chrome Plated & ED Red in sizes 19.0″ & 20.6″

Only 100 will be made & each will be numbered. Contact your favourite Colony Dealer now to pre-book yourself a piece of Australian BMX history.

Click here now for all info & spec details on these limited edition, soon to be collector’s edition frames.

Our New Zealand friend Liam Marshall visited Brisbane, Australia for weeks and Bevan Cowan was on hand to film a bunch of nice clips for us. Here is the video from his summer vacation.
