Tom Stretton Bike Check
Tom Stretton has been killing it lately. If you have been able to see the new Colony video, you are more than aware of why everyone who has seen the video is psyched on his part. Tom was recently bumped up to the pro team for Colony as weel, so I figured he had a fresh new bike to work with. Let’s take a look at what he’s riding these days along with a few photos and videos.

Colony – Alex Hiam – Ten Clips
I’ve been waiting for this one from Colony…
“After working hard on filming for the Colony DVD we wanted to play around with a web edit series that was a bit more relaxed, so the deal is…. The rider picks out a spot or park they enjoy riding and then they film ten clips at that spot. No pressure, just keep it fun and do things they enjoy doing.
Next up in our Ten Clips series of video’s is Alex Hiam.
One of his favourite parks here in Brisbane is Fairfield, so we hit it up one weekday so it was a bit quieter, which it was but it was crazy windy at times. You can probably tell how windy it was in the background of some of the clips. Alex was keen though so we spent the afternoon filming this. Thanks to the locals for being patient at times.
Filmed and edited by Cooper Brownlee.
Additional filming: Rhys Yeomans.

Colony – Ten Clips: Tom Stretton
Colony didn’t put the cameras down once the video was done. They will be dropping a new series called Ten Clips that is explained below. They’re starting off with Tom Stretton who had my personal favorite section from the DVD and I think his unique clips in this will give you an idea. Check out the DVD!

This is Tom’s local park so I knew this would be the place we would hit up for his Ten Clips. To mix it up and to work in with Tom’s work schedule, we got out the generator and filmed it at night whilst the local kids lurked in the background.
We moved the generator set-up around to each part of the park to film each clip which worked well.
Filmers: Cooper Brownlee (fisheye) Troy Charlesworth (long lens)
