We were sitting on some golden Chris Bracamonte footage that needed to see the light of day.

Shot and Cut by Cooper Brownlee.

The footage might be a little old but the quality is still there…

In 2010 Shane McLellan and I had begun stacking clips for a full video project he was working on with a handful of riders in Santa Barbara. We saved what I thought was some of the more unique footage and used the rest for other web videos. As things go, lives change, people move away and these clips sat on my hard drive for the last 5 years.

Chris Bracamonte just built up a fresh bike based around the Monash frame. Check the parts list and photos below.

Bracamonte put together this video of Nathan Sykes, Keith and some of the local crew making something special to ride and then enjoying the fruits of their labour. Check it out…

There is also a cool photo gallery over on RIDE from the mission.

Bracamonte and Nathan sent through some photos from the trip they just got from with Victor and Anthony. From all reports it was a great trip with fun had by all. Here are a few shots from the days away.

Back at the start of the year Chris Bracamonte flew over to Australia and spent 6 weeks with me whilst we hit the SOC tour and then stayed back in Melbourne for a month. In that month not only did Bracamonte help film some great videos with the team guys but he also pieced together enough clips of himself for the edit you see before you…

Whilst in Melbourne recently Victor got in a session at The Shed and Bracamonte was on hand to film a good feature for Ride BMX. Victor really went in on that session…

Bracamonte flew into Melbourne a couple days ago and will be spending 5 weeks in Australia. We have a lot planned for this time which should be pretty awesome. For now here are a few clips of Polly and Chris from a few parks in Melbourne.

Head over to the RIDE BMX website for a How to video from Nathan Sykes on 1 footed tables. Nathan sure can handle that trick so get some pointers from an expert.

Chris Bracamonte just sent through some super nice images of his fresh new Monash build. He is even running of the Australian made Pursuit sprockets which are now available in the USA with Australia having them before Christmas.

Bracamonte pops up throughout this video from the East LA street jam that happened last month thanks to BOY and Oriol Bike Shop.

Chris Bracamonte footage is always going to be good… Long tech lines and getting on high rails are always present and his latest part is no different. Thanks to everyone that helped film this.

If you follow us on Instagram or on here you would know a few of us went to Canada for a week to ride some of the amazing places the guys have over there. We also hung out at the Kirkstone jam/comp which Victor actually won. Bracamonte, Nathan and Victor all have clips in this video from the day.

Our boy Chris Bracamonte put together this video from his trip to Texas Toast, I think his description is better than anything I could write so… “10 passionate BMX riders and two dogs travel in an RV for two weeks from Oakhurst, Ca to Austin, Tx and making pitstops along the way including Santa Cruz, Lake Havasu, Albuquerque and the Grand Cyn.”

And Chris’s video that we dropped a couple weeks back incase you missed that…

Chris has a detailed bike check/interview over on the BMX Union website which you can check out right here.

We would like to officially welcome Chris Bracamonte to the Colony family. Chris is an amazing rider and an equally good person from San Fernando valley north of LA. When the opportunity came up to help out Chris we knew we had to take it. We will be working with Chris over the coming months filming for a web video and no doubt some more projects! Thanks to Tyler Fujii for the shot.
