We are supporting The Last Jam to go down at the East Shore park in Lansing, NY. It’s unfortunately closing down after 4 years at the end of April though. But they are going out with a bang with one last jam on the 21st of April.

It seems ever since Ryan moved to Cali he has being smashing out all sorts of good stuff like this edit and it seems he isn’t slowing down anytime soon, here is a bit of an update…
“This past weekend was the Las vegas Xtreme Thing 2012 dirt comp. Practice was really amazing and the jumps were massive but come the comp day the wind kicked in and no one could get through the jumps so we had a best trick comp on the last jump. We started on the berm and peddled to the last set. It was just like it sounds pretty lame but at least we made something happen. I got a superman flip and a 720, just playing it safe in the wind but I had a good time.
Good mate Jaie Toohey has also moved in so we’re riding alot of dirt everyday, I’ve been showing him some of my spots in Cali and I even got a dirt bike to play on the track which has been really fun, it’s just good to take a day off doing BMX and enjoy something else fast. We have been going to Woodward alot because it’s one of the funnest places on earth that I’ve been to and I am working on a few new stunts for this years comps so I’m keen to show everyone soon.”
Our boy Oskars Zajarskis from Latvia hows some great footage in this split edit with his friend Kristaps Reimanis, the park looks pretty fun aswell!
There is a jam organised by Riding Way at the Riverslide Park in Melbourne City with proceeds going to a good cause.

Oskars Zajarskis also rode in the comp & repped for us, thanks guys. Should be good to see what happens in the finals.
Update: Anton actually crashed in his runs and has a fracture in his 12 vertebra. He has to return to the UK now and will be off the bike for 2 months. Please rest up mate.

Liam Zingbergs, Marnold & Brock Olive all scored invites to the Asian X Games in Shanghai set for the 28th of April till the 1st of May.
They will be mixing it with some of the biggest names in BMX street. The riders list looks like this… Jeremiah Smith, Dakota Roche, Dennis Enarson, Garrett Reynolds, Chad Kerley, Van Homan, Ty Morrow & Daniel Johnson. Our 3 riders will round out that list of riders. That’s one impressive line up to say the least.
The guys will be staying on for a few extra days after the comp to explore the streets of Shanghai. Cooper Brownlee will also be heading over with the guys to catch some action outside of the comp as well. Should be good.

Thanks to Evan at Lux BMX I will soon be back on the freecoaster program. It’s been many years since I ran a freecoaster but should be fun to mess around with it again. Evan did a few tweaks on his in-house lathe for me on this freecoaster that may or may not make production as a Colony product… time will tell.
If you would like to see this freecoaster go into production as a Colony product, just ‘like’ this post here via Facebook.
If you’re after any custom mods for your bike, go see Evan at Lux BMX has he now offers an in-house lathe service where he can do special mods.
