Yesterday the nation wide BMX for Floods jams went down to raise funds for the flood appeal. The Beenleigh leg went down really well even with the 37 plus degree heat we had to endure. Not sure exactly on the amount raised but I believe it was well over $2,000 so far. Thanks too all that came out & made it a huge success.
Guettler got everyone to make a bike pile after the day finished & here is the result.

Yesterday Peta Shepherd had a bad crash on a tailwhip nosepick gone wrong. She took it hard & ended up having to go to hospital. She will need some facial surgery & dental work in the weeks ahead. It was one of the scariest crashes I have seen. Paddy & I visited her today & she is in great spirits talking about riding again already. Such a trooper !! Rest up Peta & please take it easy.
Check back here in the weeks ahead as we will release a special limited edition tee shirt with 100% proceeds going towards her medical bills.

Zac and myself had recent One Clips in the Focalpoint 365 clips project…
We had a great time hanging out and riding the ramps at Helensvale BMX. Thanks to everyone who came out and the guys at Vale, much appreciated! Below we have Tom Stretton with an alleyoop downside whip and also a local shredder, Keahnu Doyle, who won the bunnyhop comp with a hop of 37 inches. He scored himself a pair of forks for his efforts.
Spokes NT in Darwin, NT are a huge Colony supporter & have been for many years now. They recently built up this Sweet Tooth custom below for a customer. Looking the goods no doubt. Spokes NT are also supporting the Darwin leg of the BMX for Floods Jams happening tomorrow around the country so you know they are in BMX for the right reasons.

Our flow rider from Hungary, Attila Godi sent in a little edit riding his local park. Here is what he had to say…
Yo, The temperature was around 10-17C° in Hungary, it was awesome to ride. This warm is unusual in winter here. There are some older clips in the video, sorry but I couldn’t ride street – Attila.

If you’re in the area make sure you get yourself along for Connections BMX 6th birthday celebrations jam tomorrow.

Yesterday we had the Crossley Cycles in-store & it was a blast. There was a great turnout & Richard put on a bunch of pizzas for everyone. Matt Sheriff won the bunny hop comp between the locals with a hop of 32.5″ & scored himself some forks for doing so. Thanks to all those that came along & hung out, it’s appreciated. Word.

We have a new tee out, called Since. It’s a basic logo tee printed on the usual slightly longer but not wider blanks that we use. I think it came up pretty good! We will have these with us all along the trip the next couple of weeks. Hit us up at the various in-stores for your chance to buy one while they last.
If you’re down on the Gold Coast make sure you drop in at 3pm today at Vale BMX. We will be there to hang out, have a bunny hop comp, throw out some freebies and do some riding too. See ya there!

Paddy Gross arrived into Brisbane from Germany a few days ago now & is here for our trip down south next week. Should be good times. He is here for 2 weeks & will be packing in as much riding & travelling as possible in such a short time. Paddy had his first Vegemite on toast experience this morning. His first words were, ‘It tastes like grease!’ Welcome to Australia mate !!
