I traveled to Adelaide for the Easter long weekend to hang out and ride with some interstate friends from Eat Children Crew. I got to ride a few parks and street spots that I hadn’t ridden before which was a treat and hanging out with those dudes is always a good time. I also filmed a bunch of clips with Rhys, Doug and Moz and some little instavideos which you can see below.
Thanks to Rhys, Liam, Tony and Moz for letting me stay at their houses and driving me about to ride!

Hey guys just letting you all know what I’ve been up to.
Lately I’ve been working a bunch and riding when I can. Loving it so much down here in Melbourne. Everyone is sweet and I’m having the best time.
Last weekend I went to the Eat Children Crew DIY spot, jam. It was a blast. The Adelaide crew is seriously one of the sickest scenes around and I thank them so much for their hospitality and hard work on that ghetto set up. #fuckmurraybridgecouncil
This weekend there was Sam Tormey’s jam out at Morwell. Sam is a young local down here who has been battling a rare type of Bone Cancer. It’s such a shit thing but it was great to see all the riders that came out and showed support. It was also great to see you and say g’day Sam. Hope you had a ripper day brother. f#ckcancer
Also, I just got a new frame in the mail and I’d like to thank boss man Millar as always. I continued by taking paint stripper to it immediately and then to the rest of my bike hahaha. I love it. Let me know what you guys think.
Peace
Luke Parker hits up 3 of his local parks in this new video packed full of large transfers and technical moves. Enjoy…
Our good friend Polly spent some time filming with Cooper Brownlee to put together this video filled with technical front brake moves.

With the huge success & popularity of our Colony Wasp Cassette Hubs we wanted to offer something to make them even better again.
We’ve had Chris Courtenay test these for over 6 months now & have stood the test of time. We’re proud to offer those who want a further weight saving the choice of a 7075T6 Alloy driver for our Wasp Hubs. Alex Hiam & others on the team all now swear by these drivers.
With half the weight of a CrMo driver & no extra cost (unlike Titanium) these alloy drivers are a great way to save some weight & dollars at the same time. They even make the hubs sound even better if that’s your thing?
Check them out now & available at selected dealers worldwide now.
Yo yo !!
Want some of the lightest cranks out on the market? Want also some of the strongest cranks out there in the market? Then take a look at our new for 2015 Colony 22’s Cranks.

Available in Gloss Black or Chrome now. Check them out at a dealer near you now.

Over the weekend Zac came down to Melbourne for 3 days to film for his next video project and although we had some security guard problems we came out on top at the end of the 3 days. Zac really produced some serious clips and put in work doing so. Here are a few shots from the days without giving away too much…
The vent has always been an issue for this wall ride but Zac locked and loaded and roasted straight past it.
This was insane, great way to finish off the day.
I think Zac was just happy to be alive after this clip.
We’d been kicked out of this spot on Zac’s last filming trip to Melbourne but fortunately luck was on our side this day.
Game changer.
2 days in a row with no luck thanks to security being super tight now days at this place.
Simon O’Brien is the man. We have some big things underway in regards to our Colony flatland range for 2015. More on this soon.
Check out the video below from Simon.
We finally got a chance to upload this to the worldwide web! Zac’s part from the 2011 Colony DVD was one hell of a section!

We’ve been dropping some solid videos from the team over the past couple months. Here are a few of them incase you missed any or you just need something to get you stoked to head out for a roll…
Our 2015 Premise complete bike is our best selling complete bike & for many good reasons. Full CrMo construction, full sealed bearing, great choices of colours & a great all rounder geometry make it a great bike right out of the box.
