We shot this indian super seaty in Millars backyard last week with Alex on his new bike going hard straight up. The Sweet Tooth now has a lower stand over height along with the 19.8 having a lower height again to suit the younger crew wanting to hit it on a Sweet Tooth. More information about Alex’s frame can be found here.
Cooper spends a good amount of his time behind the lens but he wanted to work on something new from in front of it which is what you have here. Filmed over the past year throughout Australia and the USA.
Yo yo !!
We are getting behind the Newcastle BMX crew who are putting on a video competition for all riders from and around the Newcastle area in NSW. Check the flyer and their Facebook page for all the info.
This would have to be one of the craziest gap to rails around and I know Zac has eyed up a few things on it, Stoked to see him get this one ticked off. Props to Raine Turnbull on the photo aswell. The Backbone DVD is going to be nuts!

Filmed over the course of 2 trips Bobbie continued to blow our minds clip after clip. No matter what style of riding you are into you should should enjoy this.
Jourdan really treated us last week with this spot, definitely one of the most amazing locations for a pool. Download the wallpaper here for your desktop. You can click here for more desktop downloads.
Last week when we were in Portland we stopped by The Outer Rim where our good friend Paddy works and checked out the shop. THe guys were super cool, stocked a bunch of Colony gear and the place was dialed!
We would like to welcome Luke Parker to the family. Luke has been killing it over in Australia for the past couple years and is currently living over in California hitting everything he can whilst he is there. Something that stood out for me with Luke is that he rides everything, be it park, street or dirt this kid can do it and do it well. It seems as long as he is on his bike he is happy and that is enough for us to want to help him out. Be on the lookout for a welcome video very soon.
Myself, Ryan, Tom, Jourdan and Bobbie are heading north of LA at the moment on a filming trip. So far it’s been a blast, hitting up some nice parks and spots and just sort of playing it by ear on where we are going. We will hopefully get to Portland in the next day or 2. Here are a few random shots from the trip.
We stopped by Epic BMX today in Westminster, CA and dropped off some fresh new stock of Colony product including the new Wasp hubs. The shop is dialed and the crew involved with it know what’s up! Follow them on Instagram at _epicbmx
Yesterday we had the pleasure of riding the Home Ave Ditch, for me this has been a spot I have wanted to hit for years and it didn’t let us down. Massive shout out to anyone that played apart in making that spot what it is today.

Brandon shot through an update with a lofty table photo. Follow him on Instagram (@brandonvandulken) as he is always posting up some epic photos of landscapes in Canada.
“I Took advantage of the few nice days left with a little weekend trip down to Portland to ride some amazing spots. Good people, good vibes. Really looking forward to Texas Toast! Mad hype.”
The full video of the French Ride Sessions who came over to Australia in january for a month just went online. Both Clint and Tom have a couple clips throughout.
I’ve been getting some great emails from Valvo lately with some nice shots. These are from a recent trip he took to Belo Horizonte-MG in Brazil.
I think this video really shows what these two are really like, they don’t take things too seriously and have a lot of fun doing so. Have a watch and enjoy your weekend.
So every day or 2 I have been getting sent photos from the guys in Brazil documenting their trip and I must say I am very jealous. It really does look like they are having such a good time along with the locals, just seeing how stoked everyone is in these shots makes me love BMX more and more. Go ride.
Thanks to Renan Souza for the photos.
We are stoked to announce that one of New Jersey’s finest, Mike Brennan is now riding for Colony. I’ve known Mike for a little while now and everytime we would talk I could tell more and more that he was on the same page as us and things just fell into place from there. Next minute we are sending some product and the rest is history. I look forward to hanging out with Mike some more and collecting footage for future Colony projects because we all know he goes hard! – Cooper.
A few months back Cooper had told me that Mike had expressed interest and good words about what we have going on at Colony. I was stoked to hear this for sure. It wasn’t until a few months later that we had the chance to meet up at Interbike and right away from that first meeting, I knew this was going to happen. Mike is a down to earth guy with the right out look on BMX and life in general. I am stoked to have him a part of the family and I look forward to the years ahead. – Clint Millar.
Valvo sent through some more photos from the Brazil comp that the guys hit up. Like I said the other day, the guys have been having a blast thanks to our great distro over there Dream BMX. The guys are setting off on a little roadtrip for a few days before heading home, look out for more updates from the trip soon.
I also just spotted this clip of Millar riding the ramp, so stoked he pulled that last trick
The guys over in Brazil seem to be having a blast going off the Instagram photos they’ve been posting. That being said Chris did dislocate his shoulder on the first day which is shitty but otherwise good times are being had.
Cooper has an interview over on the BMX Union website all about his work here at Colony and everything else he has going on. It’s a great read so check it out here.
Yo yo !!
Alex has a quick interview over on the Focalpoint site giving you a bit more insight into what he has been doing of late. Read it here.
Yo yo !!
Marnold shot over an update of what’s happening for him right now…
“Sup everyone, not much happening down my way, I pulled 2 muscles in my back last Monday so I’m out of action on the bike for a while which sucks a lot but I gotta rest up to get better, so in the mean time I’ve just been hanging around working on my car and chilling out, recently brought a tattoo gun which is probably not the best idea I’ve had but who cares, gotta have fun some way or another!!”
Badman seems to travel more then me which is a good thing!
“Checking in from Europe! So for the past couple of months I’ve been living in Budapest, Hungary out in eastern Europe. Got an awesome apartment in downtown and have just been spending each day riding and having a good time on my bike learning old tricks and working on a bunch of new stuff.
It’s been summer over here so have been making the most of it with a few trips to the UK and Czech Republic along the way. One of the best things about BMX is having friends all over the world and having the opportunity to travel and visit them.
So I’ve got another few weeks here and then back to Australia for the summer there. One of my good mates from Hungary, Andras Pentek who runs a massive shop over here OG Bike Shop, is coming with me so we’re gonna spend a month doing a west coast to east coast trip with a heap of riding along the way. Good times ahead!
Ride on good peoples and will check in again soon…!”
Ryan Guettler, Chris Courtenay & Clint Millar are off to Brazil this week to meet up with Valvo & ride a mini ramp contest organised with our good mates at Dream BMX. Should be a blast for the guys with a small road trip planned after the event for a few days as well. Look out for updates here while the guys are there.
We had a pretty solid weekend here in Melbourne with the sun shining both days. Jack as always went in hard and came out with a few solids but paid the price on multiple occasions for doing so.
Seems like a good time to watch this again…
We just cooked up a couple more wallpapers for download, You can grab the Alex Hiam one here and the Jack Kelly image here to freshen up your desktop background.
Zac shot through an update from down in Canberra…
Hey y’all.. So not much has been happening at my end, the weather in Canberra has only just kinda come good. With all the shit weather we’ve had before spring we made the most of the climate and went up to the snow for two days for a friends birthday. Couldn’t wipe the smile off my face up an down the slops all day, ate shit a heap of times but had ball. I’ve been rolling around a little at some of the local little parks near my house, but I get my license back in two weeks so i’ll be definitely doing some trips once I get it back, not sure where but yet? Other then that I’ve just been Laying low passing the time.
