From the emails I’ve been getting from Simon lately it seems he has been having a blast over in Japan, here is the latest…

I just got back from the Toyama C3 jam which is on the north west side of Japan. As well as checking out the sites of Toyama including the cool castle there, I had a good ride with everyone and also judged the contest.

Lately I’ve been spending alot of time in Tokyo lately. Catching up with some street rider and flatland mates. The last few days ive been cruising the city with Jason Halayko (Japans No 1 Redbull photographer) and getting some great shots. More photos here.

Thanks to Jason Halayko for the really nice shot of Simon here…

6 hammer moves from Alex from a recent trip over in California. Loved the opposite downside whip to bars at Vans…

I knew of a few drain spots that already existed here in Melbourne so I spent some time fixing up a few along with creating some new spots and then invited some of the guys to come down, stay at my place and ride the spots for 3 days. We had to do this during the middle of summer so that we didn’t get washed away and to be able to build at the spots. This all worked well besides the temperatures going above 40 every day we were out but everyone made it work and had a blast doing so. Here is the video (and photos) from the project, hopefully we get to do another one next summer.

We are stoked to get behind Crucial BMX Shop in the UK & this VW Car Show with their mini ramp comp going down. Get yourself along for a chance to win one of the very special limited edition Colony Endeavour complete bikes we did with the guys at Type 2 Detectives in the UK. Should be a great weekend of BMX & VW’s for all on the 6th, 7th & 8th of June.

Yo yo !!

This popped up on my feed yesterday and I was quite taken back. Backbone have built up a Sweet Tooth around a bunch of Colony products including some of the latest Rainbow goods such as the rims and hubs.

Contour Rims, Wasp Hubs, Free coasters, Official Stems, Squareback Stems, Gyro plates, Pivotal Seat posts, CC Sprockets, Rainbow spokes & even pre-built Pinnacle, Pintour or Free Coaster wheels with Rainbow Wasp Hubs or Free Coasters.

Coming out in August will be a limited run of 2015 frames & forks available in rainbow as well as some very limited edition frame & fork kits. Grab it all while it’s available !!

We’ve got behind a BMXhibition set for this weekend in Brisbane City. Check the flyer for details. There will be a good selection of BMX bikes & items on display from all eras of BMX history.

There will also be a very special one off Rainbow Prody custom bike that you may have seen some sneak peeks of on our Instagram? Should be well worth the visit. It all opens tomorrow night.

Yo yo !!

Ryan is over in California right now from his homeland of the UK so whilst we were over there we shot this web advert. The kid can crank a good turndown and I would happily shoot them everyday…

Simon O’Brien is a wizard! Even if flatland isn’t your thing this video is well worth a watch. Simon put a lot of time and effort into perfecting his craft and that’s something I can really appreciate…

A good chunk of the team have some really good footage in the mix section of Stu Munro’s DVD. You can see more sections right here…

Bobbie has a real good bike check interview over on the Vital BMX website which you can check out right here…

The Prody Frame that Bobbie is riding is now becoming available in selected retailers in the USA & Australia with the UK to follow soon.

I just came across this video of Peta from a recent comp at GC Compound. Along with Natalya Diehm they both killed it for the womens event.

More on this soon…

Hey guys just a quick update to say g’day.

I just finished up a trip to Canberra for the ACT jam. Was a killer time and full of killer people. The level of riding there was insane! Canberra is sick. Thanks so much to Millsy and Colony for another amazing trip.

Other than that I have been riding solo a lot. Nothing better than clearing my head on my bike. Have some things in the works products wise too so keep an eye out.

Go out and have some fun on your bike!

We got David’s team page up. He recently just got back riding after breaking his thumb couple months ago. I am sure he is already out there smashing dipped 3’s like this one. Check his page right here. Thanks to Bret Trigg and Shaun Jarvis for the shots.

Part 4 of Simon O’Brien‘s solo dvd project from a few years ago. Simon is a true wizard. Check more sections here.

Jack Kelly spent a month in California hitting up as many spots as he could and ended up with a banger of a video. Shoutout to the LAX crew and anyone else that helped us out whilst over there. We had a blast.

You would have seen from our recent news posts and via Instagram the crazy jam weekend that Backbone put on for everyone just last week. Well the guys just posted a write up from the weekend along with some great photos from B-Dog. Some of the crew got some shots in the mix. You can see it all here.

Hey guys !!

A week ago I rolled my ankle on a halfcab oppo down whip! It has been x-rayed and it’s clear of fractures which is good ! I should be back on the bike in a another week !! Can’t wait to ride !!

For my spare time I have been working a bunch at a local cafe near mine and I am filming my homie @jettbeatie an edit for something to do!

Larry’s store Stacked BMX Shop has it’s grand opening tomorrow. If you are anywhere near the Riverside, CA area be sure to hit it up!

Attila shot over a photo of his current ride along with a real nice line he had featured over on the Livetoride website…

Ryan has been super busy of late and it seems things aren’t slowing down anytime soon…

“I Just started filming a new web edit so keep your eyes out for it,The start of the month I went to mexico for Dirt Conquerors, comp was amazing made the finals which was my goal going there so im happy. Could of spent more time riding the course as it was so massive but the fans in mexico love BMX.

Next week im flying to Naples Italy for some demos for the usa troops should be a good one, I’ve done theses demos a few years now and its a really good way to give back to bmx with kids and show my support to the troops who keep us safe. Other then that just riding every day and trying to get instagram followers so follow @ryanguettler to see every thing im up to.”

Hey guys I’ve been working a lot lately with my new masonry job but I’ve been going on day trips every weekend with Larry Alvarado filming for a upcoming ODI x STACKEDBMXSHOP edit that I’m almost done with so keep in eye out for that in the near future!

Marnold has been on the team for just short of five years now & we have seen him grow into the amazing street rider that he is today. It is with sadness though, that he has decided to step down from the pro team & take a more chilled position within our family team. He will still be riding for us but just without the duties that come with being a pro team rider. I personally want to thank Marnold for all his support over the years & his dedication to Colony as a brand. It’s been awesome mate & I am looking forward to our next ride together. Clint Millar

I’ve known Marnold for something like 7 years and watching him progress over those years has been an awesome experience. I am glad he was able to see the world because of BMX and I will miss the missions we would have going out at all hours of the night to film a clip or make a spot rideable. I am sure you will still be seeing Marnold out on the bike and chances are he will be killing it as he has that natural ability that most (including myself) wish we had. Cooper Brownlee.

Below are some words from Marnold himself…

After recent months and the last couple of years, I’ve been going through some life stuff and BMX has been on the back foot. After some serious thought, I have decided to step down from the Colony pro team. This I feel, is for the best for myself & Colony as a brand. I still will represent Colony as hard as I can but won’t be with the pro team anymore. I just want to say thanks to everyone at Colony that has helped me over the years. Cheers for the good times guys.. Marnold.

Yo yo !!

So I’ve been back on my bike since the start of the year after a couple months off with my broken collar bone. I’ve just been cruising, flowing around having fun riding with mates. Here’s a couple of photos Ange Dobbie got off me the other weekend.

Massive shoutout to Backbone for killing it with the jam this weekend. More photos to come but for now here is Dean getting loose on the box at Backbone and Polly bing Polly…
