Tom Stretton is back with another creative 10 clips! From memory this took 5 hours to film, thanks to Troy Charlesworth for helping film aswell.

Courtenay took a slam on a flair whip the other night which ended in a fractured ankle. CC will be off the bike for 6 weeks so we wish him a speedy and solid recovery.

If you live in Australia, then soon you will be able to pick up our Hidden Agenda Tubes. Back in stock with a new improved butyl rubber formula & now available in 16″, 18″ & 20″ sizes.

Peta shot this photo through from the Shed comp that happened on the weekend. Dean happen to come first along with Peta in 4th, congrats to both.

Billy Gecsek was our winner of the 2013 Sweet Tooth Frame promo we did with Vital BMX recently. Billy picked up his new frame from the guys at Mainly BMX in Geelong who were nice enough to build it up for him. Alex Hiam even signed the frame as well. To say Billy is stoked is an understatement. Enjoy the new frame Billy !!

Yo yo !!

Alex shot through a few photos from the last couple of weeks. He has been out and about enjoying the sunshine of Brisbane with his boys. Alex is going to have a new web video drop in the coming months which we have been working on for a while and I am real excited about it!

We are stoked to be able to welcome Ryan Winterbotham to the family via the UK. Ryan kills it and is super chill. Check this video he did for Vital recently along with some photos of his fresh new setup.

Our warehouse manager Glen McLaughlin & the infamous Wolfman are over in the USA on a 6 week trip. First port of call was Ryan Guettler’s house & then straight to Woodward West for 2 days of riding. Here are a few pics from their adventures so far. More to come no doubt.

Brock Olive has been riding for Colony for a couple of years now and I have had the pleasure of hanging out, riding, filming and going on trips with him over those years. Watching him progress into the unbelievable rider he is today has been awesome. I am sad to see him go but Brock made his decision and I can live with that. We are family even without your name on the team page bro… Cooper Brownlee.

Even though you have decided to move on, as Cooper said above, all is good & I wish you all the best in what ever comes your way ahead in life. Thanks for everything mate. This below is Brock’s good bye edit as such & we thank him for all the good times we’ve had… Clint Millar.

Micky has been banging out a bunch of updates from his West Oz trip, this one has got me stoked on BMX…

“Today we drove out to Australind, W.A to do a couple couching clinics. It’s a little country town and the parks not the best but there’s a really good bmx scene there. A great bunch of kids that are really psyched on BMX. It was awesome to see the kids make the most of the park and go hard. We sessioned for a while, played some games and gave away some prizes. Thanks to everyone who came out and made the day as fun as it was. I really hope you guys get that new park you’re trying to get, you really deserve it.”

Zac sent through a few random shots from his time in the USA along with some words…

So I’m back in AUS after a month in America, it was a really good holiday spending a week with Guettler who was an amazing host, such cruisy dude it was awesome hanging out. Rollin’ around Huntington Beach, going surfing, lazing back Cali style. Meet up with my missus and moved on to Vegas for a week. Vegas is one of those places you don’t really wanna be there any longer then 3 or 4 days. You end up, I end up losing to much money haha. Went to Nora cup though which is just an awesome night. We went skydiving over the Nevada desert which was sickkkk! Couldn’t get drunk the whole time I was there, I swear the alcohol is watered down over there hey!

We moved onto New York which was just a sight to see, I recommend anyone to see New York, It’s crazy to think you’ll never see the same thing twice or the same person twice. You could pretty much have a different alias every 10 minutes. I hung out with Nick Gascoine a really close friend and former photographer of 2020. We rode all over Manhattan which is one of the best experiences of my life, highly recommend it! Ended the trip with a grueling 25 hr flight back to AUS.

Over all the trip was alright, I met a heap of good people, seen a heap of sights but alcohol is piss weak America! To be honest I’m glad to be back in AUS. Ain’t nothing like home.

As we’ve mentioned before Ryan was recently in Brazil and whilst he was there he hit up the Jump Festival competition which we co-sponsored along with a shop called BMX20. It really does look like they have an awesome and tight scene over there.

The Shed Skatepark down in Cranbourne, Melbourne are having a series of comps leading up to a grand final in April next year with some great prizes up for grabs. More importantly though, good times on your bike to be had. I would expect that you will see our newest recruit, Dean Anderson there shredding. You may even be blessed with the Pete Radivo show. Pete rules.

The second one is set for this weekend… check the flyer below for full details.

Yo yo !!

Vital put together this bike check of Peta whilst we were in California. Awesome to see Peta getting her grind on.

Peta Shepherd Riding + Bike Check – More BMX Videos

The boss man Millar recently put together a new bike & after a few requests for a bike check on our FB this video came about. A riding / product feature filmed & edited by Glen McLaughlin our warehouse manager. Check it out.

I was out cruising on Sunday & decided to take a drive out to Beaudesert. I hadn’t been there in a good 20 years since when the old bowl was first built. I had heard about an extension being built a few years ago & wanted to check it out. I rocked up & there were a good amount of locals riding & all pretty much on a Colony of some sort, stoked. I didn’t have my bike with me but will have to go back out again soon, as the park looked real fun. Thanks to the locals there for being so cool, it was good to meet you all.

Mick has been doing demo’s in Perth.

“We’ve been doing 2 shows a day for the past seven days 1 in the morning and another at night. It’s almost coming to an end now, it has been a lot of fun riding, hanging out and running a muck. Lots of laughs have been had, lots of stuffing with peoples bikes and lots of hollaring and random peeps. Pretty much what happens when lots of bmxers get together and have a lot of spare time on there hands. Thanks to my little homie Brady Thomas for the pics. and also a big thanks to Shawn Jarvis of Freestyle Now for the hook up.”

Ryan has been over in Brazil for the past week as you would know if you follow him on Instagram. Valvo sent through some photos of them loving life.

One of Jourdan‘s local parks in Riverside CA. Super hot day, all filmed long lens as our fisheye got hit 2 days prior to this whilst filming Bobbie’s Ten Clips.

Strictly put together this jib edit of Mick. Lots and lots of good lines at a bunch of Melbourne parks, enjoy.

Micky sent through another update from his travels over in the West…

Today was a jamed packed day of demos, I did the first box jump demo at the Royal Show then headed off to Armadale for the opening of the new youth center there. We set up some grind boxes, a little rail, a weadge and a kicker in the car park and had a realy fun getto seashion for a while. Then we hightailed it back to the Royal Show for the night time demo.

Valvo worked on a web video with the EAL crew based out of Sao Paulo in Brazil. I love how Valvo is such a diverse rider.

This is a good watch, Ryan talks about what he has been up to and a little about Colony. Thanks to TCU for this.

Zac runs you through the specs of his signature Miner frame along with some riding clips on a very very cold night at Weston Creek park in Canberra.

Ryan is over in brazil right now and from his Instagram photos he seems to be having a blast! Follow him to keep updated on his trip @ryanguettler.
