Well we finally made it to the states but we’re not in Orlando yet. We had plenty of flight delays & now are spending the night in LA. We went for a walk from our hotel for about 5 mins & saw so much good stuff to ride right by our hotel. Pitty we’re all too jet lagged to ride but it was a good welcome sign to the states.

We dropped into a servo, oh I mean ‘gas station’ & picked up some 40′s, yeah! Cold chillen’ in the court yard of the hotel. We also saw a Dave Mirra poster in the servo… so bigtime, it’s awsome. Yo, Dan if you’re reading this… Schapel.

Tomorrow we head to Orlando to hang out at the last Dew Tour.

Yo yo !!

For a while now I have been flowing Steve some Colony parts when ever he needed them. I finally got to meet him recently at Interbike & got along with rather well with him. Steve had told me he wasn’t happy with his current deal & would be stoked to rep for Colony.

So, Steve is now our newest team rider for Colony. Expect to see him around on a Bloody Oath frame & bars loaded with other fine Colony merchandise. Steve will also be on our first Colony team trip in the states in a week or two… more on that soon.

Welcome to the team Steve !!

Yesterday we did the mad dash from Melbourne to Sydney & got in rather late to the Central Coast to Triplesix HQ We will hang here for a few days now before we go back to good old Brisbane.

Along the way we stopped at a cool submarine in Holbrook, NSW & stretched our legs. We snapped a few tourist pics & then went on our way.

We arrived into Melbourne on Sunday & have been riding around checking out some cool spots the last few days. We checked out the famous Flemington Banks on Sunday which was great to finally ride. We then had a quick session at Kensington Spine after Liam & Mick showed us their street skills. Pretty impressive.

Today we went to Strictly BMX & checked out there new shop… very cool to see. We then went to Werribee & rode an awesome street style park… very fun indeed.

Tomorrow we going riding more & I will post more news when I get time…
