In Melbourne now with Tom, Jourdan and Brandon staying at my place, we headed out this afternoon to hit a few spots, film some clips, Brandon hit his head then Tom filmed some amazing stuff. Solid day indeed. Let’s do it again tomorrow!

Shane sent through an update on what’s been happening with him, always something cool going on…

Hey peeps! I’m over in Perth right now for a few days before I head out to Europe and Hungary where I’ll be living for the next few months. Bike packed and everything is sorted, can’t wait to get over there! Before I left I did a small piece for a magazine that goes around regional Victoria called “The Milk Mag” in the current issue, 19. Pretty stoked on it and the article talks about interesting jobs so being in BMX is definitely something worth a read that everyone needs to know about! You can pick it up in most newsagents I’m told so check it out. Don’t forget to hit me up on Instagram @shanebadman

Fat Tony did this cool feature on Ryan Guettler with some interesting facts about Ryan & some cool photos from a day out & about. Check it out here now.

Look out for a few clips from Ryan in this new TCU video as well as an appearance from Alex Hiam as well.

Yo yo !!

Zac Miner has a few really good clips in this mixed section from JT’s Blazeguard DVD that came out a little while ago now.

We spent the day filming and riding at Woden park in Canberra, we planned to only be there for a warm up before hitting some spots but one clip led to another and before we knew it, it was freezing cold and the sun was going down. Everyone seemed to have fun though and we got some solid clips which I am stoked on!

We spent the good part of the day hanging out at Backbone BMX riding the flat rails and checking out the shop. As always Backbone hosted a great day. We then hit up a session at the iconic Erindale Banks where I snapped this shot of Zac just as the cold was really setting in.

A couple good days spent in Sydney were just had with real good weather, clips filmed and too much dice played. Here are a couple photo’s of Chris at a packed Bondi park.

We put together a video to show everyone the highlights of the 2014 Colony Endeavour along with some riding from a few of the team guys. These bikes are available now in Australia with the rest of the world getting them in September.

The sun was out in Sydney so we hit up Five Dock park and then onto a few spots throughout the day which was real productive. We have another day in Sydney before we head down to Canberra!

We spent the day driving from Newcastle after hitting up the Wallsend park then got settled in Sydney and searched a few schools with some good results. That evening a couple of us hit up the city for a roll and Tom got an awesome clip after a couple hours of putting in work for it!

The guys up in Berry Springs near Darwin have a fun raiser jam organised for this weekend on July 7th at some private trails. Should be awesome day for an awesome cause. If you’re in the area get yourself there for a fun day on the bike. Proudly supported by many including ourselves.

Yo yo !!

We spent the day/evening driving from Brisbane to Newcastle which is about 800km’s, it rained almost the entire time which made it worse to drive in. Fortunately we did get a little window of dry weather as we went through Nambucca Heads so we hit up the park to break the drive.

I am out here in California with Ryan, Chris and Alex before we head off for Woodward West next week. Today we hit up the M

arkit crew’s backyard setup and had a blast of a time. Thanks to the Enarson family for the hookup.

Stoked to hear Alex just won the San Jose stop of the Recon tour. It was his first day back after a couple weeks off riding because of a dislocated thumb.

Our 2014 range of complete bikes arrive into Australian stores this week ahead. In this preliminary drop, the models available will be the Premise, Inception & the ever popular Endeavour.

For 2014 the Premise will come in two stock colours all season being Bloody Black with Red & Matte Black with Purple. There will also be 3 limited edition colours through out the year with the first one being Mint with Black.

The Inception will come in one colour all season, Dark Red with Black.

The Endeavour will also have two stock colours all year with Matte Black with Red & Purple Storm with Polished being the offerings. There will also be 3 limited edition colours throughout the season with a very special GOLD ED being the first offering.

Ryan Guettler’s The Living will be out in September in one colour all season, Matte Black with Chrome.

Check them out at selected dealers for this initial pre-launch this week with all dealers Australia wide having them come August with our next shipment. The rest of the world will need to wait till September to get these bikes though, but well worth the wait.

We will upload full spec details in the days ahead in our all new products pages coming, so hang tight.

Yo yo !!

We had a pretty chilled day after the long drive the night before so a few of the guys hit up the backyard for a session and then in the evening it was onto RideOn which was a blast seeing everyone out.

Valvo travelled a few hours from Sao Paulo in Brazil to ride the Cosmo trails jam. He let us know it was a real solid day riding for 8 hours straight which is always a good sign of a good day out on the bike.

We spent the day in Rockhampton hanging out at the Giant Rockhampton store and then onto the park. The weather was dialed and all the locals were well into a session with the guys. Then it was a long LONG 8 hours of crappy roads and road work back to Brisbane. Thanks to everyone that came out for the day.

We hit up M1 Cycles in Gladstone yesterday, hung out with the locals and had them jumping bikes for t-shirts. Then onto the local park which was packed with riders and a good session followed! Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed the sunshine.

Jourdan is out here in AUS right now filming with us on the road and for some extra goodness he just dropped this new web video!

The guys from Unleaded over in France just dropped this video of Bruno which is a good watch! Thanks to Romain Ventre for putting it together.

Yesterday was another good day. We started out in Maryborough & hit up some local street spots which turned out well. Then made the drive to Woodgate but stopped off in Childers on the way to hit some rails.

I was really wanting to show the guys Woodgate though, one for the awesome ramp & also to see the kangaroos that are always hanging right by the ramp. The local wildlife did not let us down & both Jourdan & Brandon got to see their first ever kangaroos. Some good riding went down from Chris as well with some solid stuff going down in the last specks of day light.

Today we are in Gladstone & will be at M1 Cycles at 11am then the park in town at midday. Come & say g’day !!

Yo yo !!

I guess today was technically the first day of the Follow the Lines Tour with everyone. We were up at the crack of dawn to start the drive north. We hooked up with the locals at Wilcox Bike shop in Maryborough and then after a few delays we hit up the local trails. To be honest I wasn’t expecting too much but as soon as we got into the bushes all of our jaws dropped, the place was a materpiece! The locals put in serious work for these jumps to look so damn good and everyone got involved and a real solid session was had! Thanks again to Wilcox Bikes and all the crew that came out, along with all the trails heads for there amazing work and for letting us enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Just before we set off up north for a few days we spent the weekend riding Brisbane. The weather was a treat…

Bobbie has a nice looking wallpaper for you to download over on the RideBMX website.

Valvo just shot through an update…

After Votorantim Dirt Contest, My focus was on the (Bmx Masters) in the Germany.

before I had been given application for visa renewal into the U.S. but has not been approved to date, and for worse situation, my passaport stayed inside the U.S Cônsul. I can’t travel for a while.
For one time I felt so much frustration.

Now I can’t travel so I started the gym tog et stronger for riding .. I had fixed some parts of my trails and Skatepark and back in my projects on my web videos.

I got some shots with my friend Renan Souza X Polaroid Underground.
In my local spots .. Then I did with my crew a new kick on 45º is fun to ride.

Polly has been a big supported of Colony for a few years now and after flowing him some goods he came through with a creative 10 clips at one of his local parks, Mt Eliza.

Remember Nick Richardson? You might remember him from such signature Colony products as, the Bloody Oath Frame & Bars or the Gnar Kill Frame. Affectionately known as Richo, Nick has departed the BMX scene in recent years but still holds a place in our hearts & thoughts. I for one am stoked to see him doing what he is these days.

Read on below as to what Nick has been up too of late…

G’day guys,

It’s been a few years since anyone has seen or heard about me in the BMX industry, What have I been doing? Well… haha

Ever since I stopped riding BMX full time, I started studying Graphic Design. It was something that just really appealed to me. I liked the fact that it allows you to create something from nothing. Ever since I was younger I always wanted to start my own brand and by doing this course it gave me the skills to do so.
That brings me to fishing…

Fishing has always been a part of my life even when I rode BMX, but as I got into it more I discovered the more technical side to it. I got addicted to it and it pretty much became my life, everyday I was out on the water discovering new things and places.

So at the end of last year, I decided to start a clothing brand completely dedicated to the fishing industry. I didn’t want to be “just another clothing brand”, I wanted the brand to have meaning! What this brand is about is awareness, I want people to know how their actions affect the marine life above and below the water. For our new range our slogan is “Respect Our Waterways”. I want to push that as much as I can, to make people aware of what they are doing, I want my kids and their kids to be able to fish the same spots we do and catch the same fish!

I decide to name the brand “Tide Apparel” … To me this is more then just a clothing brand, it’s a movement.

Follow us on Instagram @tideapparel and Facebook

Or to shop, please go to the website 🙂 Thanks – Richo.

Mick and I spent the entire day searching the outskirts of Sydney for spots to ride on the way back down, The traffic might suck in this place but the spots certainly don’t! A few gems to hit when we are in Sydney with the crew in the coming weeks.

The guys over at Backbone BMX have done it again with another awesome custom Miner build. Check it out & like the last build the guys did, you better act quick if you want to make it yours. Check it out on their website in more detail right now.

In some Zac Miner news, he will be up here in Brisbane this coming weekend along with most of the team for the start of the #followthelinestour

Yo yo !!
