Antipodes – Full video
The full video of the French Ride Sessions who came over to Australia in january for a month just went online. Both Clint and Tom have a couple clips throughout.
More from Valvo
I’ve been getting some great emails from Valvo lately with some nice shots. These are from a recent trip he took to Belo Horizonte-MG in Brazil.
Jack Kelly
Jack has been collecting some serious footage for his next web video, this may not be the craziest of moves but he was hyped on getting a photo of it and I am stoked on how it came out.
New England Jam Chowder on this weekend
The 2nd annual New England Jam Chowder BMX Festival is on Sunday & our own Keith Treanor is over there repping for us & showing support for everyone involved. If you’re in the area no doubt you will already be making sure you’re there for the event. It’s set to be awesome. Get yourself there & have a blast & show support for all the awesome local bike shops in the area.
Yo yo !!
Day in the life with Alex & Ryan
I think this video really shows what these two are really like, they don’t take things too seriously and have a lot of fun doing so. Have a watch and enjoy your weekend.
Brazil trip updates
So every day or 2 I have been getting sent photos from the guys in Brazil documenting their trip and I must say I am very jealous. It really does look like they are having such a good time along with the locals, just seeing how stoked everyone is in these shots makes me love BMX more and more. Go ride.
Thanks to Renan Souza for the photos.
Welcome to the team – Mike Brennan
We are stoked to announce that one of New Jersey’s finest, Mike Brennan is now riding for Colony. I’ve known Mike for a little while now and everytime we would talk I could tell more and more that he was on the same page as us and things just fell into place from there. Next minute we are sending some product and the rest is history. I look forward to hanging out with Mike some more and collecting footage for future Colony projects because we all know he goes hard! – Cooper.
A few months back Cooper had told me that Mike had expressed interest and good words about what we have going on at Colony. I was stoked to hear this for sure. It wasn’t until a few months later that we had the chance to meet up at Interbike and right away from that first meeting, I knew this was going to happen. Mike is a down to earth guy with the right out look on BMX and life in general. I am stoked to have him a part of the family and I look forward to the years ahead. – Clint Millar.
Bruno Faucon at Street Line
Bruno features throughout this video from the BMX Avenue Street Line contest which looks like it was a good time. Bruno scored 3rd in best trick for 2 of the rail comps which was great to see.
More from Brazil
Valvo sent through some more photos from the Brazil comp that the guys hit up. Like I said the other day, the guys have been having a blast thanks to our great distro over there Dream BMX. The guys are setting off on a little roadtrip for a few days before heading home, look out for more updates from the trip soon.
I also just spotted this clip of Millar riding the ramp, so stoked he pulled that last trick
Brazil update
The guys over in Brazil seem to be having a blast going off the Instagram photos they’ve been posting. That being said Chris did dislocate his shoulder on the first day which is shitty but otherwise good times are being had.
Cooper Brownlee interview
Cooper has an interview over on the BMX Union website all about his work here at Colony and everything else he has going on. It’s a great read so check it out here.
Yo yo !!
Alex Hiam interview
Alex has a quick interview over on the Focalpoint site giving you a bit more insight into what he has been doing of late. Read it here.
Yo yo !!
Product Highlight – Bottom Brackets
Bottom Brackets might be a small part on your bike but they keep your cranks running smooth and looking good. We’ve had our own BB’s out for many years now and they’ve always been popular, probably because of the unique CNC detail that gives them that different look to many other options out there. Add in some dope looking colours and you have some dialed looking Bottom Brackets.
Marnold update
Marnold shot over an update of what’s happening for him right now…
“Sup everyone, not much happening down my way, I pulled 2 muscles in my back last Monday so I’m out of action on the bike for a while which sucks a lot but I gotta rest up to get better, so in the mean time I’ve just been hanging around working on my car and chilling out, recently brought a tattoo gun which is probably not the best idea I’ve had but who cares, gotta have fun some way or another!!”
Shane Badman update
Badman seems to travel more then me which is a good thing!
“Checking in from Europe! So for the past couple of months I’ve been living in Budapest, Hungary out in eastern Europe. Got an awesome apartment in downtown and have just been spending each day riding and having a good time on my bike learning old tricks and working on a bunch of new stuff.
It’s been summer over here so have been making the most of it with a few trips to the UK and Czech Republic along the way. One of the best things about BMX is having friends all over the world and having the opportunity to travel and visit them.
So I’ve got another few weeks here and then back to Australia for the summer there. One of my good mates from Hungary, Andras Pentek who runs a massive shop over here OG Bike Shop, is coming with me so we’re gonna spend a month doing a west coast to east coast trip with a heap of riding along the way. Good times ahead!
Ride on good peoples and will check in again soon…!”
Off to Brazil
Ryan Guettler, Chris Courtenay & Clint Millar are off to Brazil this week to meet up with Valvo & ride a mini ramp contest organised with our good mates at Dream BMX. Should be a blast for the guys with a small road trip planned after the event for a few days as well. Look out for updates here while the guys are there.
Jack Kelly goes hard
We had a pretty solid weekend here in Melbourne with the sun shining both days. Jack as always went in hard and came out with a few solids but paid the price on multiple occasions for doing so.
Seems like a good time to watch this again…
Wallpapers – Jack & Alex
We just cooked up a couple more wallpapers for download, You can grab the Alex Hiam one here and the Jack Kelly image here to freshen up your desktop background.
Zac Miner update
Zac shot through an update from down in Canberra…
Hey y’all.. So not much has been happening at my end, the weather in Canberra has only just kinda come good. With all the shit weather we’ve had before spring we made the most of the climate and went up to the snow for two days for a friends birthday. Couldn’t wipe the smile off my face up an down the slops all day, ate shit a heap of times but had ball. I’ve been rolling around a little at some of the local little parks near my house, but I get my license back in two weeks so i’ll be definitely doing some trips once I get it back, not sure where but yet? Other then that I’ve just been Laying low passing the time.
Tom Stretton 2013 web video
Tom is such a delight to film with, sure his clips may sometimes take forever to get but standing out in the freezing cold late at night is well worth it when he comes through with something special. We collected some great footage for this video, most of which was on roadtrips throughout Australia enjoying the sunshine and the places we came across along the way.
Have a watch then watch again!
