The guys at Lux BMX built up another dope custom bike this time a very special one off 2013 The Living frame in the exclusive 2013 Sweet Tooth colour way, Matte Orange. Tom Stretton’s good mate Shane Batchelor is the proud owner & it looks the goods.

A few weeks ago I rode at Kuraby with Peta Shepherd one afternoon & there was a local rider there doing some good stuff. Well 2 days ago, Peta comes by the office with a video on her phone of the said local rider ripping it up. She said we should hook him up at some point down the track. I was down with the idea & so today she bought him into the office. We got him on a fresh new 2013 Teddy frame & full set up. Check it out below.

Jourdan recently got back from a quick trip to Vegas to film some more clips for his up and coming The Hunt section. Jourdan has definitely been busy of late scoring a job with his dad as an apprentice electrician and working on his first Colony web video so I am excited to get to work on that edit in the coming weeks. Thanks to Ryan Galvan for the photos. You can keep up to date with all Jourdan’s happenings via his twitter here.
Mick Bayzand has been resting up from his recent shoulder injury but is well on the road to recovery. He is also heading off to Canada for a few months on June 10th, expect updates from there.
On other news… Mick will be having a casual roll at Prahran Skatepark in Melbourne this Saturday from lunch time onwards. He will also have a bunch of free copies of The Colony DVD for those that are keen. So if you’ve ever wanted to meet Mick in person head out to Prahran this Saturday & meet the man himself.

A few weeks back myself, Liam, Marnold and Brock headed over to China for the Asian X-Games. If you were following via the site you would know we had some crazy issues with missing bikes and Brock getting hurt but all in all it was a fun trip and this is the video we made from the days we spent riding after the comp was done. Thanks again to the locals for helping us out and make sure you grab the next 2020 mag that comes out for a full article about the trip.
Pef from Unleaded BMX in France sent in a little report about the Fise in Montpellier on behalf of Istvan Calliet.
Istvan qualified himself to the Freegun Air Spine contest, facing Pat Casey, Mark Webb, Daniel Dhers, Brett Banasiewicz, Alex Coleborn… so it wasn’t an easy contest, considering the opponents level! The only frenchmen on the final list too!
Spine final happened on Saturday evening, the weather wasn’t that great, got some rain over here, but they did prepare a cover in case. 720 on spine, 360 whip, Flair, also tried a 900 as best trick but sadly didn’t land it.A few clips here.
See you this weekend at the Street Station in Lyon for your revenge Istvan!

Over the past couple of weeks Pete and I have been working on filming a web video but I swear Pete has the worst luck in the world. Besides all the knee issues he has had over the years, last week at work he blew out his back and could barely move. It seems he has a bulging disc issue and can’t do much about it but rest. Get well soon my man and from what we have filmed so far it will be worth the extra wait. Below is a screengrab from one of the wildest moves we’ve filmed so far…
We ere down in NSW last month & dropped by Edge Lifestyle down in Orange, they are good supporters of Colony with a range of our parts in stock. They also can get anything you need in without delay. Go see Jake for your BMX needs & he will get you sorted. They even had the Colony DVD playing there & we caught a candid shot while I was on the screen.

The past weeks in Latvia where a blast, I got a new job at a bike shop, where I restore old dutch bicycle and I love it. Can’t ride every day but it’s not so bad.

Over the past few weeks Peta has been filming with her friend Tristan Montagu and they sent thought this web video from all the footage together, really stoked on the level Peta is riding at right now.
We jumped on the bandwagon a couple weeks ago and setup a Colony Instagram for all the team to post on. Make sure you follow us @colonybmxbrand
Valvo just sent through an update, he seems to travel more then anyone I know…
“This month was so busy, I was a judge at the Old School and Flow Bmx Contest then I went on a big trip to do some Dirt Demos, it was sick! 20 thousand people at the event it was really crazy.
I arrived home a week ago but I’m waiting for weather to get better, so I can get back to filming my edit.
Next week I going to a little trip with ESPN Brazil to One New Bike Shop, it will be a big Jam session at the new ramps over there, it will be fun.”

Alot of filming is going down right now all across Australia for up and coming projects, here are few photos courtesy of Stu Munro from up in Brisbane. Also a look at Brocks stitch job on his leg.
Another shop in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne…BMX MAD have plenty of Colony completes and parts in stock, check them out then head down the road 5 minutes and ride the pretty much herritage listed Knox Bowl.
it’s been a year since Jayden unfortunately broke his neck in a car accident but the local crew have got together and put together another jam for him which we are supporting. From what I hear Jayden is doing well considering.
Brandon put in some work at the Queensborough Skatepark, New West in Canada. Some dialed lines for sure!

Today marks the 7th birthday for Colony as a company. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 7 years already. I would like to thank everyones support for us over the years. It’s been quite a ride to get to where we are now & we’re looking forward to many more years to come yet.
So thanks again to all our distributors, all the shops, all of our team, all of our employees, all the magazines & all the websites that have supported us from day one. More importantly, I would like to personally thank any rider out there who has ever bought one of our products or simply been down with what we’re about. Without all you guys, we would be nothing, so thank you.
We compiled a flipbook of photos pulled from the news posts over the past six years that the website has been live, enjoy…
As a special kind of celebration we have released our first ever road trip DVD from back in 2007. ‘A Month In The Life Of’ was filmed over the span of a few weeks starting in Beenleigh, Australia with the Spinal Disorder comp then road tripping from Brisbane down to Sydney for the BMX Games. We then met up with Dave Osato & headed over to New Zealand to explore the south island before returning to the north island for the last ever X-Air comp that went down in NZ. Good times.
