Random Oz News bits...

Eric Effinger is enjoying things over in W.A & has been regularly hitting up the infamous Scarborough undercover car park that was also the venue to the West Oz leg of the past Colony Down Underground stop.

Shaun Jarvis has been busy painting his house & through Freestyle Now!, organising a bunch of BMX stuff for upcoming months - more info to come! More problems with his elbow are meaning he's having to take it easy for the moment, but no doubt he'll be back to full force before long...

In Jason Parker news courtesy of Freestyle Now!, a belated Happy Birthday goes out to him & he's also working at Tom Price & the mine there. He's able to take his bike, so sessions are still going down.

Kit McKenna is also keeping busy in the UK. He recently visited London & Southbank & rode with the TGM crew as well as hitting up a bunch of street along the way including sessions in Birmingham. He'll be finishing his job in the UK at the end of September before doing a bit of travelling & back to Oz on October 13. I'm sure the guys at Imax will be stoked..

Colony rider Shane Badman is riding hard/travelling hard - currently in Hungary. Colony have an update on what he's been doing recently by clicking here.

Where in the World is Kit McKenna??

Semi-permanent Melbourne ripper, Kit McKenna moved to the UK for his Gap year to work at an Outdoor Education Centre about 20 Minutes from Birmingham. Kit's always doing something interesting & here's a few words that he wanted to let the world know...

I'm over in England & living in a little village called Blackwell, about a 20 minute train ride from Birmingham. My job is working as an instructor at an Outdoor Adventure Centre that is based in an old haunted manor & the surrounding grounds. I run activities like rock climbing, archery, abseiling, high ropes courses etc. There isn’t much to ride around here, but I am lucky there is a big sports hall with a cool plastic floor.

I can ride here most nights, I just have to make sure I don’t dint the floor with my pegs!



I didn’t bring my bike over with me so I got myself a very nice T1 Barcode for 200 quid once I arrived. Threw some new wheels on it & some crappy pegs & its sweet!





Word on the street is that Kit is hoping to make it to The Green Mile soon to session, stay tuned for more updates...
