Yo yo !!
Peta Shepherd is over in Canada for the Toronto BMX Jam & is having a ball. She also got to meet up with Broc Raiford whilst he was at JoyRide150 as well. She sent in this quick little update, read on below…
Just a little update on my Canada trip. I’m having the best time, everyone’s really awesome over there. I’ve been riding joyride150 a lot, probably the best park I’ve ever ridden, and it’s bikes only, No scooters ever!! I had prelims yesterday for Toronto Jam and managed to qualify first. Today I got asked to enter the girls freestyle mountain bike comp, so I did. I’ve never even ridden one before, but somehow got first haha. Won $175. Pretty stoked with that. Tomorrow I have finals for BMX and maybe another MTB bike comp. – Peta.
Peta & Broc.
Peta cashed up after winning the MTB comp & 2nd place getter, Trish.
It’s snowing over there right now.

Brandon Van Dulken joined our team a few months ago now & has been killing it up in Canada for us. He got together with Ben Jenacek to film this welcome edit over 2 days at the Joyride 150 park. Thanks also go out to Kill Em All Distribution for helping out Brandon & repping Colony for us in Canada. Colony is now available in more dealers across Canada than ever before. Check them all out here now.

Valvo has a video interview from his trip in Australia late last year. Check it out, some really good riding from Valvo on a small sample of the many parks we have on offer. Just get your translation on if you wanna know what he is saying. Filmed & edited by Chris Lembo.
Yo yo !!
From what I hear, Simon killed it at Down Underground coming first and winning best trick/combo… For some more coverage from the event, check out the Nerve People web site.
Liam recently got back from a three week trip in the USA…
“Hey guys me again, just a quick update. I just recently returned to OZ after a long stay in Cali. I spent all my time in long beach staying at the OSS house with my boy Tim, I could not believe how many spots there were, it was a pleasant change from what I’m used to haha. We met lots of awesome people who made the stay extra fun! As Millar would say I now have the travel bug as I’m itching to get back on a plane and do it all again thanks to Adam and everyone else who made our stay so pleasant. I’m off to Brisbane in a week or two so if you see me out and about come say hey. Until then, stay trill.”
Pete Radivo rules. He has been one of my all time favourite Australian riders for as long as I can remember. After all these years he still kills it with the most dialled tech & burly style. He can throw down at anytime, sober or not. Pete loves BMX & loves a good time with mates with a drink or twenty-two.
Pete sent in a quick update. Read on below to see what Pete got up too last weekend…
Myself and Little scotty went on a spur of the moment Canberra trip on Saturday arvo, got there Sunday lunchtime, haha. Went to Belco’s new park but was well packed out. Hit up Woden park for a 15 min sesh before the the rain hit. So we hit the pub instead. Sunday I hooked up with Cam White for a roll at Gungahlin skatepark. Fun sesh there. Got a couple of pics then drove home… Good weekend I say 
– Pete.

This was used in an advert last year but it’s worthy of a desktop background aswell! Download here for Widescreen annd Standard screens here.
The Selftitled DVD was released in 2006 & features O.G. Colony team riders, Ryan Guettler, Nick Richardson, Kenny Raggett, Haimona Ngata, Pete Radivo & myself along with a large crew of riders.
It took us 3 years to film for this & it took me 9 months of editing. Crazy thing is after 9 months of editing, my hard drive crashed & we nearly lost the whole damn thing. After an epic 12 hour straight drive from Brisbane to Sydney, had Matt Holmes save the day with his Mac savvy knowledge. Thanks Matt !!
This one for me, is full some amazing memories & a chapter in my life that I will never forget. Good times for sure.

Another 10 clips edit from Valvo. This was from an afternoon down at Browns Plains park which Valvo had never seen before but seemed to really enjoy. It must have been 40 degree’s this day but it still all worked out.
The ever so humble Paddy Gross shot through an update…
“Since I moved from Germany to the USA at Christmas, I’ve been going through a heap of changes. First of all, my girl and I got married after being together for a while. I’ve gotten really lucky with her and besides that she’s relaxed and uncomplicated, she’s a surfer and she loves me being on my bike and knows what it means to me, just very different from what I’ve experienced.
Other than that, my mom lives in Portland, Oregon and I’ve been coming to this place for almost ten years. I’ve made some good friends over the years such as Chester Blacksmith, Andy Merrall, Shad Johnson, Justin Inman and so on, who are now my daily riding mates. Just the in the state of Oregon alone there has to be more than a hundred concrete skateparks so it doesn’t get boring at all (check here). Also, the legendary Burnside skatepark under a highway bridge is one of the playgrounds I hang out at. This park is made out of real rough concrete and you can just feel by pushing around that it is made by hand a long time ago, a seriously amazing park with a million lines. The winter is still going on but we’re having a heap of sunny days and a new edit is already in the works. Since my mom has had a major health problem I am working in her bike shop a lot and I am taking care of the BMX section also which is heaps fun and a good way to introduce Colony to the kids. I am excited for everything happening this year and also my next Australian visit is in the works. Thanks heaps for letting me share what’s going on in my life with all of you and thanks for reading. Have fun shredding and stay happy and healthy. Cheers, Paddy.”
Ave BMX are our new distributor for Poland & the guy’s there are really behind BMX & it’s lifestyle 100%.

Michal has now joined their team & will soon be going on his first team trip with them. We are stoked in Ave BMX’s support for Michal & Colony. They will soon be receiving their first Colony shipment, so hit the guys up for anything you are chasing from us real soon.
This video below is from the team’s last trip in Cyprus & it looked like a tonne of fun. Really well put together & a treat to watch. Get yourself a coffee, sit back & enjoy.
