How many BMX brand owners who are 39 years old are still out there killing it? Not that many I would say but I can honestly say Millar is riding better now then I have ever seen him ride in the past 6 or 7 years that I’ve known him. He features in our current 2020 advert with thanks to Brian Castillo for shooting this. That makes it even better that “technically” competing brands can put everything aside and work together and enjoy BMX for what it truly is.
Next week you can check out the videos from the 2013 Woodward West shootout which we were involved in, everyone put in some solid work and had a blast so we can’t wait for the video to be released.
We shot this indian super seaty in Millars backyard last week with Alex on his new bike going hard straight up. The Sweet Tooth now has a lower stand over height along with the 19.8 having a lower height again to suit the younger crew wanting to hit it on a Sweet Tooth. More information about Alex’s frame can be found here.
Chris just hit up the Play comp in Florida and shot through this update about the whole deal.
Quick trip to Florida for the Play Bmx Contest, super grateful to get an invite to this as was such an amazing contest. Finished up 7th which I was psyched on and also got to experience a bit of the day to day Florida life which all I can say is if you get the chance check it out for sure! Now at the airport back to Cali for another month before I come home!
Cooper spends a good amount of his time behind the lens but he wanted to work on something new from in front of it which is what you have here. Filmed over the past year throughout Australia and the USA.

Andre is already riding our stuff now & you can see his new bike below thanks to bmx20.com.br for the photos.

So I’ve been working there a bit which has taken over my weekends a but still getting out there on the pushy! I had Nick Gascoine out for a weekend, anyone that doesn’t know, he was a huge part of the content that got pumped throughout 2020 about 2 years ago, anyways it’s always good hanging out with my brother, just hittin the streets, unwaxed spots ha you know how we the nahyouritemate crew roll. Other then that the Backbone vid is getting shit happening, feels good to scare myself a little after filming for the Colony DVD, check out the Backbone ad in the next 2020 to see what’s up. While your at it check out Backbone site while you’re at it. They’ve always got the freshest Colony gear up in there! Other then that it’s just the same old Canberra. Talk to ya’s again soon .

We are getting behind this years Spot Roast Jam in Florida at the Skatepark of Tampa during December so make sure you hit it up and make a trip out of it.
We would like to welcome Luke Parker to the family. Luke has been killing it over in Australia for the past couple years and is currently living over in California hitting everything he can whilst he is there. Something that stood out for me with Luke is that he rides everything, be it park, street or dirt this kid can do it and do it well. It seems as long as he is on his bike he is happy and that is enough for us to want to help him out. Be on the lookout for a welcome video very soon.
Today is a sad, sad day. Our great long term friend Henrique “Valvoline” Castro, has decided to step down from the team & take a back seat on BMX in general. Saying he needs to focus his life in different directions & concentrate on the more serious things in life. He also says he would rather give his spot on the team to a new, younger rider in Brazil who has more energy than he does for BMX right now. I expect you will still see him on a bike around but just not in the public eye as much.
It will feel empty not hearing from him with his travels in Brazil but I guess all good things do come to an end eventually. It’s been a great time having him on the team over the past 4 years or more my friend. You’re family for sure & this news has taken us all by shock. We are going to miss you mate !!
Click here to check out all the news posts from Valvo over the years. Thanks for the good times mate !!
Keep an eye on our site here as we work with Dream BMX in Brazil to find a new team rider. News soon we hope !!
Yo yo !!
