Tomorrow we have an in store appearance & BBQ/Jam at Strictly BMX. The guys there have organised a cool thing where you can have your own Colony/Strictly tee printed while you wait. These tees will feature some exclusive designs available only at Strictly. Come along & get some freebies from Colony & Vans plus a chance to meet some of the team.

Today we left Canberra & did pretty much nothing but driving. On the way we broke up the long drive to Melbourne by stopping off in Albury at Sanction BMX. It is a really cool shop that only opened in December & it’s plain to see that they will do very well for the local scene. Simon & Dre are stand up guys & are 100% committed to BMX. Sanction will be stocking Colony from mid February which I am told the locals are keen to see happen.

We have arrived in Melbourne now & will be heading to Sealys Cycles in Frankston tomorrow at 1pm for an instore & BBQ. We’re then going to the park in Frankston afterwards at 4pm for a roll. See you there.

Yesterday was a ‘day off’ for us & we made the most of it. We dropped Ryan, Josh & Jaie off at Cam White’s place so they could ride his massive jumps all day. I had heard these were huge & to see them in person is amazing. Total respect to anyone who gets through those sets.

The smallest guy (Alex) with the biggest guy (Liam) on the trip in the longest jump at Cam’s.

The rest of us (Liam, Zac, Alex, Cooper, Stu & myself) went to session the streets & a good day was had by all. I took a few slams which felt great, Liam did an amazing flair in a drain, Alex did a no hander on a street object & Zac did his biggest ice grind down a rail.

We then dropped Liam off at the airport & headed back out to Cam’s place for a BBQ. A great night indeed. Thanks to the White family for having us over, appreciated.

Today we are driving to Melbourne & will stop off at Sanction BMX in Albury/Wodonga.

Yo yo !

This morning we left Sydney & made our way towards Canberra. On the way we stopped off at Goulburn & rode the park there to stretch our legs for an hour or two.

After that we headed to Canberra for an in store at Backbone BMX which was really cool. Rhysty & the boys have one of the best stocked BMX shops in the country & a really chilled vibe to boot. Thanks go to Rhysty for the pizza hook up & the Bundy Red can, stoked. We gave out a bunch of freebies & then headed to Weston Creek for a roll.

After the park we headed off to a cool drain which was really run. Overall a pretty good day. Heading out for a street ride tonight to see what we can find.

Yo yo !!

Yesterday was a complete wash out with a huge storm coming in at Five Dock & we pretty much didn’t ride at all, so we went back there today for a session. It was pretty fun day & some good riding went down. Stunts were done by all & were documented by both Stu & Cooper.

After riding we went to the airport to pick up Liam Fahy-Hampton & headed to Bondi for what was meant to be a nice arvo at the beach. Except it was so cold & super windy that swimming was the last thing on our minds. A few of us rode the park & then shredded the water front street spot.

Tonight is going be a party night for sure & we then head out to Canberra in the morning. We have an in store at Backbone BMX & then a session at Weston Creek afterwards.

Yo yo !!

It’s been a few days since I have had internet access but finally got my mobile broadband to work now, stoked. The trip has been amazing so far.

Day 4 – Monday we rode Varsity Lakes on the Gold Coast which was an awesome session. We all got sunburnt but some good riding went down & clips were clocked. Zac Miner wrecked his ankle & had to take a few days off.

Later that night we arrived at Ventoux Cycles in Coffs Harbour for a in store appearance & it was massive. We were 4 hours late yet that didn’t faze the 200 or so kids waiting for us. It was a great time for sure. Many thanks to Al & the boys at Ventoux for putting on the BBQ & beers.

Day 5 – Tuesday was a day of nothing but driving. Something I feel we have been doing nothing but of late. Before we left Coffs Harbour we got to check out the Big Banana & the Big Slurpee which was a treat. We arrived at AA Cycles & had another in store appearance & it was really cool to meet Les & his local group of riders. It was a cool little shop & everyone appreciated the free stuff we gave out.

After AA Cycles we headed to Slamfest for a session. That place was packed. Almost no standing room here but that didn’t stop the riding going down. Alex Hiam made about 300 new fans with his bike skills & was one of the crowd favourites. Zac sat this one out with his wrecked ankle & I did a nosepick or three. Ryan made the most of what was on offer to ride & did the first ever flip whip I have seen him pull, perfect. He also banged out a double backie over the box which should not be possible over a box so small. Crazy times.

Day 6 – Wednesday we arrived at Above All BMX in Sydney for an in store & Julian really looked after us so well with an awesome BBQ & plenty of cold drinks. There were again hundreds of people hanging out, chilling & having a good time. Julian’s shop is really well done & one of the cleanest around which is a credit to his efforts.

After the in store we all headed to Helensburgh park which was a really fun time. That park is pretty fun & has some weird stuff to ride which is always good. We had a few hundred people hanging out once again riding & watching the action. Stunts were done & more sunburn was inflicted.

Zac Miner back on the bike with his wrecked ankle.

Last night we stayed in Kingscross for the night & a little partying went down. But not before we all at dinner at BurgerFuel & saw a video there of Haimona Ngata & friends from the Redbull Dirt Halfpipe. It’s always cool to see your mates on TV at random places like that.

Today we have an in store at Hell On Wheels then a ride at Five Dock at 4pm, see you there.

Yo yo !!

Yesterday we had a shop appearance at Helensvale BMX on the Gold Coast which we had about 200 kids waiting when we arrived. It was a crazy scene & Ryan got a game of foot down going which was cool to see. I got mobbed by kids when I started to hand out DVD’s, stickers & posters. Many thanks go out to Mitch & Jimmy for getting us a bunch pizzas which served as our breakfast. Afterwards we rode at Helensvale park which was a fun time for sure. Check out the short vid Mitch made below.
