riding since 2007? I think...

Places Travelled with your bike? Travelled all over the US, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, England, Scotland

So many great experiences, mostly for me it's the people I get to meet and ride with. They are always so motivating, and cool to ride with.

Worst experience?haha, worst experience, few of those, getting my bike stolen in NYC, which actually had an amazing outcome in the end. Another bad thing is when you are travelling for the sake of riding, you ride at times you shouldn't. I had a minor injury that would've healed fine, had I taken a few days off, but I rode with it anyway and ended up breaking a bone in my hand, not a major break, but took me about a month of downtime to get back on my bike.

Tips or suggestions for when travelling with your bike? would suggest to those of you who want to travel with your bike, make sure you are stoked to be in that location regardless of riding or not, if it's a long trip and you get hurt, you better be able to do other things or you will go mad. It's easiest to travel alone, just because you can pick up and go anytime it suits you, but if you have someone to go with, that could be fun too. Pack light, and enjoy!

You recently visted Australia, how was it?Australia was amazing, great people, great parks, great food, great street, pretty much great all around. Can't say enough to express how wonderful Australia is. You are so lucky to live there:)

Favorite place in Aus?Canberra was my favorite place to ride in australia, so many great parks. i loved Weston, Five dock in Sydney, and the Cairns skatepark was unreal. I need to go ride Woden, it was under construction when I was there.

When are you coming back?Gosh, I want to get back there asap, I want to ride in Melbourne for sure. Unfortunately it'll be while. I've got plans to be in Portugal next fall, we'll see if it happens or not.

Peta Shepherd Fundraiser

Colony bmx- About 6 weeks ago we posted some bad news about Peta Shepherd falling hard & being taken to hospital. Well we wanted to help her out in some kind of way & one way we thought was to work with Peta on a special limited edition tee shirt with proceeds going towards her dental bills. She is recovering well & in fact rode only 2 weeks later. She still has a long road to full recovery with a mountain of bills.

Cooper & Peta worked together to bring this design to you, Peta wanted something that showed what BMX meant to her so this photo which was shot about six years ago in Portland (USA) on a roadtrip that Cooper was on, all the bikes and crew piled up in the back of a pick up truck travelling around towns hitting up parks and just enjoying BMX for what it is.

It will be available in Australia only through our dealer network across the country though due to logistics. For every tee shirt sold, we will donate $5.00 to Peta to help pay her bills. These will be available next week around the country at your favourite Colony dealer.
