I really enjoyed this. Tom Stretton doing his thing for LUX BMX like only he can. Pure genius.

After the crazy ride into the city we hooked up with the locals and trekked around town, they showed us some cool spots and we battle dcity traffic. It’s insane the amount of people that stop and watch you ride, even security and police take an interest. Thanks to the local crew for the help around.

Alex Hiam has been off the radar of late but that will soon change.

His new bike shown is the new 2013 Sweet Tooth frame which will be available worldwide in July this year. The colour shown is an exclusive colour to his model frame, Matte Orange. Alex’s frame will come in 19.8″, 20.3″ & 20.6″ sizes.

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

Yoo! I have been injured with a broken ankle for 3 months now and fully recovered from surgery. I have been going insane not riding and finally built my new 2013 Sweet Tooth and going to start riding again 🙂 I haven’t been doing much while I’ve been injured, just Xbox, school and chilling with mates. I have had a pretty bad start to 2012 with getting real sick then breaking my hand and ankle. Now that I’m all healed and hopefully I have a injury free year ahead of me ! My main priority when I start riding again is to film another web edit! Here are some photos of when I was injured and my new Sweet Tooth.

Rolling around town in Shanghai yesterday Brock took a chunk out of his leg whilst trying to film a line, 20 stitches later and he is ok, no more riding for him but atleast he is sorted. Massive thanks to Kane Wang for helping us out so much with the situation.

Ryan Guettler did a road trip out to Woodward West recently & this is the end result… check it out. Looks like such a fun place & a good trip to boot.

Brock Olive, ice to bars. Download it here for standard or the much preferred widescreen here.

While you’re at it have another watch of Brock’s most recent Colony web video. In other news Brock is over in China with some of the team exploring Shanghai.

Ryan Guettler recently was in Australia but before that he was keeping busy over in the USA. Read on below on what he has been up too…

April has been a big month I went on a Pro-tec road trip with the team to shoot photos for the catalogue and make a web edit. It was an amazing time! We drove from the Vans HQ to Phoenix rode a lot of parks and trails so it should get a good web edit out of it. As a team we had talked about doing the Phoenix BMX race after we were doing with the Pro-tec stuff so we stayed around and I tell you what it was crazy. I’ll be doing more races this year for sure so much fun. In Saturday’s race I got a 3rd place and on Sunday’s I got a 2nd.

Brandon recently made the move to Vancouver city and has been taking full advantage of the move. Large 360 tuck, on some of these he was actually buzzing his face on the tyre.

Zac and Tom just finished up a quick Sydney trip filming for the 2020 dvd, both the guys clipped up and had a blast.

It rained most the day but we went down and checked out the SMP park which to be honest is pretty average but amazing if you can kill a 12ft transition! After checking out the mega ramp finals we rode around town trying to film a few clips in between showers and the traffic. We rode a spot today where so many people gathered around whilst riding it, security wern’t 100% keen but we pushed it as long as we could.

ARC Skate Park in Preston, UK have some exclusive UK colours 2012 complete bikes in stock now.

Liam had the finals of the Asian X-Games, congrats to him for getting there, Marnold and Brock also killed it but just missed out on the finals.

We have spent the last few days here in Bathurst for Newtons Nation & it’s been a fun time. Sunday morning we went for an early 8am ride at the nearby Orange skatepark. Kenny Raggett came out with us which was a treat. Always good to see & hang with Kenny. We even got some footage of him as well. Look out for a web video from our travels here in the weeks ahead.

Yo yo !!

We planned to hit some spots today but the weather had other ideas so we spent the afternoon checking out local markets in Shanghai and being entertained by the traffic and randomness that you see on the streets here. Local legend Kane Wang who runs CNBMX helped us out getting around and haggling the sellers for a deal. Fingers crossed the weather comes good tomorrow as Liam has the X-Games finals in the afternoon.

Mick has been having a rough time of it lately with injuries. After just getting back from a few broken fingers he had a fall where he did some damage to his shoulder tearing his rotator cuff and AC joint. Hopefully it’s not to bad, once the swelling has gone down he will know more.

Tom and Zac just shot through an update about there current Sydney trip…

“Myself and Zac are down here in Sydney filming for the 2020 DVD and so far its been awesome! Finally conquered a ledge here I’ve wanted to get for a long time and Zac did some of the craziest shit I’ve ever seen down graffiti tunnel! So much fun. Can’t wait for tomorrow. Anyway if you say see us out come say g’day. I’m out of here for the party.”

Thanks to lost baggage we spent most of the day/evening waiting for our bikes to show up, 4 out of the 5 have now appeared. We did some walking around and it was an amazing experience just to watch how the traffic operates here, it’s so ridiculous! Hopefully tomorrow we have some more luck with the final bag so we can get moving on the clip game.

Freeriders Bike Shop in Camira have carried Colony since they opened just over a year ago. They carry a good range of our products & offer good service. Check them out next time you’re in the area.

It’s been a pretty good few days of driving around hitting up various parks between Sydney & Bathurst. We’ve hit up Macquarie Fields, Penrith, Lawson, Lithgow, Millthorpe & Manildra. It’s been really good so far with great weather & some good times along the way.

We rode the park in Manildra today & it was a blast. Check it out below. More from the road soon as we are at Newtons Nation now for the next few days.

Anton McGuirk is slowly on the mend after his crash in Estonia 4 weeks ago. Wont be too much longer till he is back on the bike. He says he wants to waste no time in getting to filming for is welcome to Colony edit. Watch this space.

Yo yo !!

It’s been a long long day, we’ve been up for 23 hours and just got settled in after our first flight being delayed which made us miss our connecting international flight so we had to wait a couple of hours but Brock made it on the original flight. 12 hours later we made it to China but couldn’t find Brock until we realised he came in at a different terminal. The chaos didn’t end there though. They lost all our checked in baggage so we still don’t have our bikes! Hopefully they show up tomorrow!

Just down from the hotel some of the guys tried some weird looking street food straight off the plane.

Tom is off to Sydney today for a week to film for the 2020 DVD with Troy Charlesworth. Hopefully the weather holds out for the guys and if you see them around hit up the guys and say hi! I hear Tom has a couple signed copies of the Colony dvd for the first 2 people to ask him to do an hang five.
