Colony BMX - Hard Yards #1 - Backyard Invitational 

 

A few of the LUXBMX crew had the pleasure of spectating one of the heaviest days in Australian BMX this year, and LUX team riders Sean Gardener & Raph Jeroma-Williams even copped two of the invite-only spots to ride in the first Colony BMX "Hard Yards #1 - Backyard Invitational", to say it was an incredible day of BMX would be an understatement! 

Australian BMX legend and Colony BMX frontman, Clint Millar, has a pretty damn epic ramp set up at his house (this could be the understatement of the year), and taking inspiration from iconic events like The Metro & Rebel Jams from the mid-school, 2000s era of BMX - Clint put together the first (of many) Colony "Hard Yards" Jam. 

The Hard Yards was run differently than most modern BMX events, with a jam-style format that was also judged by the actual riders riding in the event. 

Check out all the action and results below!
