Today I went to the Core Series final at Kuraby skatepark in Brisbane & it turned out to be a really good day. Alex Hiam ended up getting 2nd overall for the year in Pro & pocketed $250 towards the ‘Woodward’ fund. Stoked. I didn’t get around to taking any pics or getting any footage but I did capture this classic moment of a rider we all affectionately call, Snappa. He rules & this was definately the highlight while the skate finals were going. Pure BMX at it’s best. Enjoy.

Our limited edition Tangerine colourway is dropping this week into Australia & is already available in the USA. It will hit other countries in the weeks ahead for those outside of these two countries. Get it while it lasts as limited means limited when it comes to our colourways.

Alex has once again had a makeover on his bike & I am sure it won’t be the last. He changes his bike colour like most of us change our underwear. It’s all good though, whatever keeps him happy. Be sure to check Alex riding his new ride at the Core Series final at Kuraby this Sunday. Should be quite the show with Kuraby being his favourite place to ride in the world.

If you haven’t seen it yet click here for Alex’s web video from a few months ago.

Or check out this little edit Chris Courtenay made of his & Alex’s week in Melbourne a few weeks back.

Simon O’Brien is over in Japan for 11 weeks doing shows with Michael Steingraber & Daniel Baker. He will also have the chance to hit up a couple flatland comps while there too. They also found a skatepark near where they are staying just outside of Tokyo so Simon will be kept very entertained during his stay. He also sent me these couple of pics before he left taken by Michael Harris, thanks Michael.

On my last day in the states last week I visited a cool shop I had heard heaps about from Guettler called, Epic BMX. This shop certainly had one of the largest ranges of BMX stock on hand & are a very rider friendly shop. These guys know BMX & if you’re ever in the area do yourself a favour & drop in & say what up. Check out their website here as well.

Yo yo !!

Just thought I would share our next advert featuring Ryan Guettler & our Clone hubsets with you all. It’s due to appear in Ride BMX, 2020, Dig & Focalpoint magazines in the coming weeks.

You can get them everywhere now & for full details on them please click here.

Better late then never but our distributor in the Ukraine, VeloJam, sent me this email about an event that happened over there a couple weeks ago & now I finally got around to posting it here. Read on below…

Yo Clint,

We just came back from a small but definitely nice event, called Broken Bones Session, held by VeloJam and sponsored with Colony, which took place yesterday in Kyiv at a small hand-made bike park. We had two categories – amateurs and pros. For the 1st place in pro we gave a way a Sect frame & many other Colony prizes.

We of course, experienced some probs with the weather, however, we did it! The dirt and water could not stop us to make those crazy people do some crazy stuff, like 360 from a drop or the flair in a small quarter.

Cheers, Bogdan.

There is a comp coming up on Sunday October 26th at Steve Woodward’s amazing local park in San Diego. So if you’re in the area or feel like doing a little roadtrip, get on down there for it in a couple weeks. It should be a blast I am sure & be on the look out for prizes from Colony as well.

Here is the first look at the 2009 Endeavor complete bike. There will be 4 colour ways in 2 different sticker ways on these bikes. We have the Bones & Wings models with a much improved spec list over the 2008 model.

For starters it has an all new slimmer 21 inch top tube frame, comes with 1 piece CNC steer tube tapered leg forks, 6061T6 Official style stem, 25-9T gearing with sealed cassette, WTP tyres, Bloody Oath style bars & our own Fantastic Plastic Pedals to name a few of the improvements.

Check the file below & click the thumbnail for a larger, more easily read version.

These bikes will be available in Australia & New Zealand only around early December.

Bikes shown are sample models only.

A few weeks ago Zac & Liam thought it would be a great idea to go ride Rampfest one afternoon but when they arrived were told the park had been privately booked out for a birthday party. This meant they couldn’t ride, damn. Fortunately, the kid who’s birthday it was was cool enough to let them join the party & they got to session with the crew. Many thanks go out to Tom, the birthday boy, for letting Zac & Liam in on the fun. Greatly appreciated mate.

Due to Liam’s shoulder problem’s right now he has been only able to ride ramps of late & more so the foam & resi at Rampfest. Word has it that tricks like fronties, frontie drop-ins, double backies etc have been happening. Can’t wait to see Liam take those to the streets. He is due for keyhole surgery soon to have his shoulder fixed but will be back before you know it.

In other news Zac learnt flairs in like 3 goes which I guess helped him get 4th place at the recent Spinal Disorder in Melbourne. The boy killed it, good shit.

Is that a chain & sprocket on Liam’s bike? Liam & Zac at the b’day party.

I did this how-to for Ride BMX on Saturday while out at Woodward West.

Attila Godi is our flow team rider in Hungary supported in conjunction with Harlee Distributions. He has put together this cool little park edit. Attila is primarily a street dog but as you can see here can hold his own the parks just as easy. Enjoy. Many thanks go to Harlee Distro & Attila for their support for Colony.
