Colony coming through with a fresh BMX video from the time Chris Bracamonte spent down in Australia hanging out with some of the team! Chris worked hard during his stay stacking clip after clip of pure gold. Watch as he puts his pegs to heavy use, along with plenty of nose balance!

“Back at the start of the year Chris Bracamonte flew over to Australia and spent 6 weeks with me whilst we hit the SOC tour and then stayed back in Melbourne for a month. In that month not only did Bracamonte help film some great videos with the team guys but he also pieced together enough clips of himself for the edit you see before you…

Sneak Peek: Animal Bikes X Terrible One Tires

March 23, 2016

Here’s some news we’ve been waiting to let people in on for a while now. Some of you might recall a few months back we got a look at a new tire Animal Bikes is working on that we didn’t have much information on at the time. Well, it turns out that Animal Bikes and Terrible One are actually collaborating on two tires, the Ursa Major and the Ursa Minor that will be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders worldwide very soon. Below you can get the full scoop from Joe Rich. Keep an eye out for an interview we’re working on with Joe that should be dropping soon as well!

“A few couple of years back, the idea of working with Animal to design a tire took seed. The main driving force behind this was wanting to run Animal tires as a way of supporting them, but there wasn’t one that existed that was designed around riding tranny and roasting concrete. So I talked to Bob Scerbo about it at the time and he relayed my thoughts to Ralph. Lucky for me, Ralph liked my reasoning behind this, and wanted to see it happen. So I brought my ideas to Frank Lam, who was their product designer at the time. Funny enough, Frank and I used to ride together at these contests that were put on by T&C Cycles in South Plainfield, NJ back in the early 90’s. So it was extra good to be in touch with someone again from so long ago. Frank and I went back and forth with the ideas and how they could create the best result for what I was looking for. In the end, working together with Frank gave light to something that ended up being more than I could have hoped for. So stoked. These would never have been possible without Bob, Frank, or Ralph at Animal. Thank you all so much. More info to come soon on these!” – Joe Rich

Scotty Cranmer – Riding the Ramp Ranch

March 23, 2016

Scotty Cranmer and the rest of the crew took a rainy day trip to the Ramp Ranch for a little DIY ramp setup session. Above is a look at the riding and good times that the crew had throughout their visit! Needless to say, there were some bangers that went down. Check it!

“On a cold and rainy NJ day we got a chance to ride a friends private warehouse ramp called The Ramp Ranch! The place was amazing! @JJTAKTER built this awesome setup and me and the boys had an insane session! Big Boy did a really impressive Flair challenge, Matty Cranmer did some Ryan Nquist style front brake moves, I did a worlds first double tailwhip to moving lawnmower?? And I fell off the side of the ramp and dropped my camera… And Cory Berglar capped off the night with an insane wallride to tailwhip out! We had a blast and are really excited to go back and ride JJ’s new setup!”
