Ricky has been staying in Melbourne this week filming for new video part. Some of the things we’ve filmed so far have been quite incredible and I can’t wait for everyone to see the footage. Ricky really puts in work for his clips so it will be great to have something solid come from it.

Nathan Sykes along with Matt Cordova, Trevor Sigloch, Beeverton Presquire got in a good session at the Hippy Bowl recently and they captured the good times that were had.
As always another month has come and gone, but not without some good times! Been riding the BMX, working on the jumps at FOD. We were hit with some good rain and the jumps got hit really hard. So been spending time out there getting them dialed back in and riding. Also finished the DIY project that I was keeping on the down low. Hopefully that edit will be dropping soon. Was super fun being able to build a spot with the homies. Definitely one of those memories I won’t ever forget. Can’t thank Matt Cordova, Evan Lane and Chris Brackamonte for making this happen!

Another day, another jam. Thanks to everyone that came out, it was a great afternoon in the sun.
Thanks to everyone that came out last night, it was a super fun session. Shoutout to The Village and Chris Courtenay for handling it all.
Tonight, head down to The Village for a session with the crew. Should be a fun evening…
Recently Alex spent a week in Melbourne and used that time to tear up some of the best transition Melbourne has to offer. Come say hi to Alex and all the crew if you are anywhere near any of the jams going down in the coming weeks.
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.
This is going to be a lot of fun.
A bunch of the crew will be heading out on the road for a couple weeks between Queensland and Canberra with a bunch of stops along the way for sessions with the locals and anyone keen to trip it out.
We will be posting more info regarding times of the sessions but this will give you an idea. Be sure to come out and have a good time with all of us.

Hey guys!
Ahhhh summer – it’s here! I’m writing my first update from Adelaide, where I’m originally from but last lived here about 10 years or so ago before I went to Europe, Brisbane and a bunch of other places.
So the past few months have been beyond hectic with selling a house in Victoria, emptying and sorting out life, then packing everything into a truck and driving it over to Adelaide to start a new life. In between all this I’m stoked that I’ve been able to keen a fair bit of riding going which has been awesome.
I had a few really good demos that I did just before coming to Adelaide. The first one was with Nikon Australia where I worked with professional sports and action photographer, Mark Watson (who is a ninja when it comes to getting dope shots!). Mark was doing workshops over 3 days at the Nikon Digital Show that they were running at the Melbourne Convention Centre and what better way to instruct photographers than having a live test subject to photograph – me! So it was pretty awesome that flatland got centre stage and BMX got taken to a much different audience. After the workshops, we headed out into Melbourne and managed to catch some really good photos.
After the Nikon demos I had a week of riding at home before I flew out to Tasmania where I did the Derby River Derby festival. I had done this demo a few years back and it was a really good, chilled out vibe and more importantly a good crowd and there is also an awesome riding spot to have there. A lot of demos you do, you sometimes get pretty ordinary places to ride so it was really nice to have somewhere legit.
Massive thanks and shoutout to Mark Watson and Nikon for the workshops and also Matty Wootton and the rest of the Derby River Derby guys for inviting me out – cheers!
Since being back in Adelaide I’ve been trying to get myself sorted with my old riding spots. Once life settles back into a normal routine I have some really big things that I’d like to get onto for 2016 so watch this space!
