Back in May Mick and I started working on a new video project with the idea of shooting an entire trails video part as Mick was heavily into riding trails for many years so we thought it would be a good change up. Ever since that idea came about we’ve been digging in the rain, hail, sun and everything else in-between. It’s definitely something that has escalated into more then just creating a spot to film a good chunk of the video at, it’s become part of us both and something that I don’t think either of us see changing anytime soon. Here are a few shots from recent sessions.
Shouotout to the OG locals and also Grosser for helping with the build.
Mick recently headed down to the brand new Noble Park in Melbourne with a couple of his boys Kym and Sean from Strictly BMX. The guys put together this video from the session, i definitely recommend hitting up the park if you are ever in Melbourne.
For the past couple months Mick and I have been heading down to the trails and helping out with the locals on some re-building of particular lines. Up until last week we hadn’t really rode them at all so it was great to get a session in and start filming for an up and coming project we are working on, Mick has already got some good stuff so we wanted to share one of the shots we captured last week.
Shoutout to the DCT locals for welcoming us into their home.
Mick has had a couple of rough years with injuries. But in-between those injuries he’s come through with some great footage for this video.
Hey Guys,
So happy to say that I’m back on my bike after what felt like a life time off with a broken hand. it’s still not one hunderd percent but I’Ve been having the best time riding again so that’s all that matters right now. I have filmed a few insta vids at the local that will be up on the Colony insts and my own instagram (mick_bayzand1) soon I am also back working on a edit I started before my injury. If you se me around on the bike come say hi.
Peace.

Hey Guys,
I just built up my new Colony Burna frame which I can’t thank Clint and Colony enough for it. It’s such a honour to have my name on something I love and care so much about and for so many years now. I would allso like to thank everyone who has supported me or bought one of my signature parts.
I am still off my bike at the moment with my hand injury but it has been nice just rolling around again witch is a step in the right direction. I’ve been doing lots of physio and stuff to get my hand back on track so I can come back in the new year killing it again.
I haven’t been able to ride lately because of my hand so I have been painting a lot more witch is a another hobbie/passion of mine.
Last week I was lucky enough to be asked to be part of a art show in Melbourne. I got to paint the out side wall along with three other people. a spot I have wanted to paint for a long time. It was a great night and lots of people turned up, we got plenty of good feed back on our art so it was a success.
Hey guys, quick update to let you no whats going on with me. As you might know I broke my hand filming a few weeks ago and yesterday I had a meeting with a plastic surgen to see how things are going. Turns out the break in my hand is quite severe in the lower part of my ring finger and the bone has droped and twisted. They wanted me to have surgery and put two screws and a plate in there but because I did it a wile ago the bone has started healing so they’re just gonna leave it for now and hope it doesn’t move anymore or I will go under the knife. So I need to be real carefull the next few weeks and wear a stupid cast. HopefulLy it all heals up nice and I’ll be back on the bike in no time filming again.
This weekend Cooper Jack and myself packed up the van and headed out on a little road trip to finish up some web videos. Everything was going well until we found this beautiful steep rail I just couldent pass up, unfortunately there was a fence right at the bottom exactly were you would land. Me being me I just thought; dont worry just pretend it’s not there and I will deal with it when I get there. but it was there and I grinded straight into it at full speed. I got straight back up and got the clip then the pain set in and turns out I broke my hand and rolled my ankle so it looks like I am going to be off the bike for a little bit.
Just thought I would check in quickly and let you know what’s been going on with me. I have been out filming for a new edit as much as I can (weather permitting) which has been very on and off here in Melbs. Also keep an eye out for a little plaza video in the works.
Mick recently setup a fresh rig, loving the addition of the rainbow popping off the black…

Hey Guys,
My wrist has definitely been on the mend lately, well for someone like myself that has had so many injury’s nothing really gets better it just gets bearable so I have been riding my local park Prahran alot lately stregthaning my wrist and getting my jibb game back on, it’s been a lot of fun. I have all so been filming a few insta vids down there as well if you would like to see them just follow me… @mick_bayzand1
Thanks to Kym Grosser for the photo.
Mick has some real solid footage in this mix with a bunch of the team guys from Strictly Bmx which is just located around the corner from this park, really enjoyed this.
The sun was out again in Melbourne so I took the guys down to the iconic St Kilda banks on the beach which was pretty damn good then onto the city for a roll well into the evening. Good times indeed.
Mick turns 30 today, I’ve been fortunate enough to know and ride with Mick for a good 10 years now and I look forward to many more. Mick has put in alot of work on the bike over the years so I am sure his body feels alot more like 50. Enjoy the day mate.
Mick came thorugh with some great clips in this GoPro edit he worked on with Kym Grosser recently, good stuff! Follow Micky on Instagram @mick_bayzand1
We just got in the latest & very limited edition frame, fork, stem & headset kits into Australia. This drop we chose an awesome Black Confetti colour way with a Black Stem & headset.
Only 3 of each of these kits came into the country & you will have to act fast to make one yours.
Hit Strictly BMX up for the Teddy kits & Sweet Tooth kits as they took them all for Australia.
Hit Backbone BMX up if you’re chasing a Miner kit.
As for The Living kits they are still available so contact your favourite dealer to get one now.
I spent the weekend out with Marnold, Mick and Jack whilst we had some good weather. Mick just got back into Melbourne so we should be going in hard in the coming weeks for his next web video. Jack has a web video dropping this week I can’t wait to get out! Marnold is also in the final stages of clipping up for his next project. Good times!
Over the weekend there was a comp at Elizabeth park in South Aus which we supported, Mick comes from Elizabeth so he was down there hanging out with the crew. We hear it was a great day, shout out to all the crew that made it happen.
