Hay guys, just wanted to fill you in on what’s been going on.

Big things are happening with Colony working with the talented Cooper Brownlee sorting out 2015 color ways and new stickers, big changes on my frame in 2015!!! This week I have Cartoon Network’s HALL OF GAME AWARDS by SHAQ were I’ll be presenting an award. It’s the first kid certified, adrenaline filled celebration of all things sports also I’ve been working a lot with Hookit and their amateur comp series, last year I followed the tour in my RV announcing some of the stops and this year I’ll be doing all the stops announcing Am’s again and have helped set up the pro contest which will be on the Sundays. I’m also looking into Ryan’s Boot camp, which will be a 2 day event all over the USA teaching kids tricks with other pro. More on that later..

Last week I got the chance to ride in the Nitro Circus demo in Anaheim Stadium it was so much fun and im so amazed on the riders in that show it blow my mind. The first comp of 2014 for me will be Maddogs comp in the Kitchen March 22nd so I have some time to get ready. The cool thing about getting ready for comps is pushing yourself so I’ve been filming the tricks along the way so keep your eyes open for edits to start dropping very soon just waiting to find a good song. Tabesforthebabes is still happening this year in the RV. Just waiting for the weather to pick up as it’s winter right now.

If you want to follow every thing ill be doing FOLLOW @ryanguettler on IG.

We would like to officially welcome Chris Bracamonte to the Colony family. Chris is an amazing rider and an equally good person from San Fernando valley north of LA. When the opportunity came up to help out Chris we knew we had to take it. We will be working with Chris over the coming months filming for a web video and no doubt some more projects! Thanks to Tyler Fujii for the shot.

Our boy Shuhei from Japan came through with a cool 10 clips filmed at one of his local parks. Thanks to for the footage.

Hey guys, the other weekend I made the trip over to Sydney for the first stop of the DownUnderGround Flatland Series for 2014. The series has been going for a few years now and it was awesome to see the turnout with so many riders throwing down in all 3 classes. I managed to get second place in Pro which I was super stoked on!

There’s a full writeup on the DownUnderGround weekend over at BMX Flatland Australia and a few pics and whatnot on my instagram @shanebadman.

Clint, Alex, Tom and Zac are in Melbourne right now for a special filming project but today we spent the afternoon riding Luke Parker‘s local of Lilydale. Luke killed it along with all the locals even though it was super hot.

This Sunday, hit up Camberwell park in Melbourne for a jam along with other entertainment. We’ve got behind the event and it will no doubt be a good day.

Our main man from Hungary Attila Godi shot through and update with this photo of him ice grinding a long ledge at his local park. Dealing with the winters as good as he can. Attila will be in Barcelona in May so that will be a treat no doubt.

Our Fantastic Plastic Pedals have been around a good number of years now & have proven the test of time. Offering excellent grip, great feel & a good strong body, are just some of the reasons you will find them on many riders bikes today. They also come with a variety of coloured spindles to offer that little something different. Check them out at a Colony Dealer near you now.

Yo yo !!

We just got Andre Jesus‘s team page sorted, you can read more about the Brazilian rider right here.

Thanks to Raenshop for the hook up of this Andrew Ayukhaev video from over in Russia. Kills it.

Hey Guys, Andre Jesus from Brazil here, want to say a little about what’s popping with me. I went to ride at Ceu Aricanduva- São Paulo, Brazil few days before I travel, it’s a small and fun park with spine, volcano…

Right now I changed the Hot summer from Brazil and I’m living at Tallinn,Estonia, just got here few days ago, my Girlfriend lives here and I will stay here for few months, riding Baltic Games in Poland in few days and later this month riding on the amazing Simple Session, and also checking out some others contests here in Europe.

Jack has been going in real hard of late filming for his next Colony video. Here are a few photos from last week whilst we were out.

Jack’s video from last year…

Ryan recently set up a fresh new bike and came through with some solid photos to document it all.

Alex put together this video of footage filmed last year that hasn’t made the cut for his next full length but trust me there is some really good stuff in there…

Our lovely friends Killemall (and distro for Colony over in Canada) put on a trails jam under a brisge as it’s the middle of winter and if you’ve ever been to Canada you know its cold and wet so it’s pretty awesome that this was able to happen. Brandon features all the way through the video.

Mick has some good lines throughout this video Kym Grosser put together of them riding their local park.

Larry Alverado came through with a bangin’ mixtape of crew from the West Coast in the USA and Jourdan stacked a few nice clips in the mix…

California Capers Street Mix – More BMX Videos

My main man, Cooper Brownlee has an in-depth interview over on TCU which is well worth a read.

I for one always find it amazing how Cooper finds the time to punch out solid video sections when it counts with the work load he takes on. I tip my hat off to you Coops, you’re the man. Thanks for all your hard work & dedication to all that we do.

Click here now to read his interview.

Hey guys just a quick update… This last month has been that good, with everyone just having a couple of weeks off on holidays it has been perfect. Between getting outta Canberra and heading down the coast to this amazing spot we always end hitting up, snorkelling, camping etc. I’ve been busy with a backyard project, I’m so fortunate to have amazing house mates and the result will be having my own 4 foot ghetto bowl with wall rides and all sorts of stuff. I’m about half way there, so stay tuned for some photos. Anyways until then I’ll be busy building. Talk to ya’s soon…

JK just got back from the USA but didn’t take his bike?

“I spent the last month or so in the USA without my bike unfortunately, but I got to visit LA, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Florida and New York with my girlfriend. While in LA I got to visit the OSS store and met Adam and Alfredo, I was also lucky to meet Tyler creator from Odd Future .Next time I go to the US I’ll make sure to take my bike.”

Head over to the Vital BMX site for a complete bike check from our UK rider Ryan Winterbotham.

We are getting behind a local jam at the Hazard County Skate park at 353 McDonough Pkwy McDonough GA 30253 on the 15th February. If you’re in the area, get yourself along for a fun day on the bike no doubt. As well as the chance to win some goodies from us.

Everyone’s favourite Tom Stetton just sent over the latest happenings up north…

“Hey guys, just wanted to tell everyone what I have been up to. At the moment I have been at home and just riding as much as I can. It’s been hard with all the partying through the holidays but I have been having so much fun on my bike.

I recently just went into the warehouse and picked up a fresh wheel set up and what I have to say is my new favorite part EVER, the 4 piece Hardy Bars. I have been riding with them for 2 days now and I can’t get enough of them. So yeah, thanks a lot as always Clint and Colony. 4 piece forever! haha.

Been riding with a lot of different people and filming a bunch for different shit which is always fun too. So expect to see some footy In the near future guys. For now an edit of Bobbie and myself is online. Was a whole bunch of fun to film so check it out if you want.

Big shout out to Lux BMX store for always rigging my bike up dialed. Follow them on Instagram @luxbmx and follow me while you’re at it haha @tom_stretton

Polly shot through an update from the holiday season…

“Christmas was a crazy one at the bike shop last year (Sealy’s Cycles) so over that period of time I didn’t get much riding in, but with the new year that just rolled in and the good weather kicking off down in Melbourne I’ve been back on it a heap after work which has been really, really good!! Here’s a couple snaps from my after work sessions!! ……Also last year big time, big money pro rockstar bmx pro, Dave Dillewaard started following me on instagram which is one of the best things that has happened to me in my life.”

Yo yo !!

Next Saturday, on the 18th of January is the first round of the DownUnderGround Flatland Series for 2014. Being held in Sydney it should be a good central event. Word has it that our Shane Badman & Simon O’Brien will be attending.

The organisers would like to make a point of letting everyone know, that all riders are welcome, especially those that are not actual “flat landers” themselves. It will be a great day to hone in those bike controls skills, like hang fives & nose wheelies that are all so integral to modern day BMX riding.

So get yourself along for an awesome day with some of the best flatland riders in the country, should be good times for sure. We are once again proud to support these events & must thank Freestyle Now for organising them as always & for 2020 Magazine for their continued support for series as well.

Yo yo !!
