Paterico setup some front brakes last week and immediately came through with some crazy and clean moves.

Long time team rider, family member & recently warehouse manager for our USA distribution centre, Paddy Gross has been working on this project for quite some time now.

Collecting his own footage over a year or more with his own unique style of riding celebrating the sometimes forgotten art of freestyle. Paddy really shows his love for what many would call mid school BMX. Something I personally can really relate too.

Sprinkled with a selection of riders from all over the globe, this video has the feel of an old Props section.

Filmed & edited by Matt Miller with a host on contributors along the way.

The finished product is a treat to watch. Sit back & enjoy !!

Yo yo !!

Baco A Go-Go is on again on the 30th September. We’ve got behind the event once again & a few of the team guys are headed there too. Expect to see Bobbie Altiser & Paddy Gross repping front brakes for us. This is the last one that will be held at that park so make sure you get along for the fun times.

Yo yo !!

Clint spends his 42nd birthday riding some of his local parks (and backyard) whilst documenting the riding himself.

A very strong supporter for Colony & all round good guy, Patrick Kelly has just dropped an awesome edit featuring some great riding on a Prody Frame & some great use of the front brake. We’re keeping the front brake dream alive one bike at a time !! Enjoy.

Yo yo !!

This was a nice surprise to see in my emails the other day…

“It’s become a bit of a tradition the last few years now for me to spend my birthday riding & film an edit from it. This year, my 41st birthday was spent doing exactly that. I wanted to ride as many varied spots as I could & make a true “freestyle” edit as such, with a bit of everything thrown in for good measure. Alex Hiam came along & we had a blast riding, even though it was the windiest day ever with gail force cyclonic winds. @hardythepuppy even makes a cameo appearance as in video’s past as well. Pretty stoked with the end result & a big thanks to Troy Charlesworth for making me look better than I really am.” – Clint Millar.

Clint Millar recently put together a prototype 2016 model Prody Frame for his brand of mini ramp riding.

There a few changes on this Prody Frame over last years special limited edition release.

Hey guys! The last couple of months have been super good, heaps of work on at the shop and I’ve been doing a heap of riding! I’ve got a lot of time in with my gorgeous girl, Katie. Tom moved down and is living with us which is so fun aswell! I was lucky enough to head over to ADL with Dean and Cooper for The October fest trails and then just got to spend a weekend up in QLD riding with the crew and got to meet a few idols of mine which was unreal! Thank you to Clint, Niki and Hardy for having me, it was too good!!

I’ve been slowly but surely clocking a few clips with Cooper to finish up my video which I’m stoked on!

To top it all off I’m off to the USA in a couple weeks for 3 weeks!

It pained me not to be able to make it over for this but Paddy Gross made it down to ride the first annual front brake fiesta in California. Looks like it was a great time for sure. Front brakes are alive !! I hope to make it to the next one. Thanks to Area 43 for hosting the day !!

Our buddy Polly just dropped this dialed video of him riding a few of his local parks, reppin’ Sealy’s Cycles which is where he works out in Frankston, Victoria. Props to Aidan Rice for filming and editing this.
