We have a new flow rider by the name of Jens kahlström who is from Stockholm, Sweden. It’s always rad seeing riders from other sides of the world, even better to be able to help them out with some parts aswell. click here to check out an edit that Jens features in (black bike) which has some rad moves in it.

Our boy from Little Black Bike in ADL, Liam Zinbergs clocked some footy on a recent trip to Melbourne. Check it out below… the boys got skills.

Our second grip is going into production right now & will be available in September this year. It is named after the street I grew up on when I got into BMX back in 1988. It has a smaller diameter than our current LFH Grip & feature the same cross pattern as used on our Fantastic Plastic Pedals.

In the words of Nick Richardson, who is testing the first pair right now, ‘These are the best F@*#ing grips I have ever run!’

These are a team design grip & not a signature product of any one rider. They will also be spec’ed on our complete bikes for 2011.

Chris Courtenay called me yesterday with an update on his knee situation. Unfortunately, he confirmed that he has in fact done his ACL & will be going under the knife next Thursday. It’s a shame to hear Chris go through such a thing at this time. He has been absolutely killing it of late. He will be back though without fail. We will keep him busy around the warehouse during his recovery & I am sure he will beat his record on Doodle Jump as well to pass the time. I wish you the best recovery mate & chin up… all will be good.

Chris in happier times…

Jonny Devine sent over a photo of his Gnarkill frame all set up, he took to it with some paint stripper and gave it a unique look…

Jonny Devine hit me up to let us know he has been riding a bunch of trails lately, which is rad! Check out the ChapelWoods site while you are at it. Jonny also went on the Ride to Glory trip recently which he said was a blast. Below is a couple photos of Jonny at the trails…

I just got back from the Redbull Dirtpipe Comp that happened on the weekend. Definately an eye opener! Chris and Zac both rode in the comp and Chris made it to the finals but unfortunately had a crash which he injured his knee pretty bad and had to be taken to the hospital. Chris is going to see a knee specialist today, fingers crossed everything is ok.

Spotted this Vans video over on TCU featuring our own Paddy Gross. Look out for Paddy on the white bike. I remember riding those amazing brick transitions by the beach in the north of Germany back in 2001. So good to ride. Enjoy the video.

New Empire is a skate & BMX boutique store that has recently opened up on Mount Tamborine in the Gold Coast Hinterland. The owner Gary, wanted to give back to the local community of riders by starting up the first store on the mountain to cater for their BMX & skating needs. Naturally, they chose Colony as one of their first BMX brands to carry & we’re stoked that they did. If you live in the area then please support your new local shop & no doubt, New Empire will become the centre of the local scene up there. Click here for contact details now.

Myself, Chris Courtenay and Zac Miner were floating about in Canberra yesterday before we headed down to the Redbull Dirt Pipe comp, the weather was rad so we got a solid ride in. below is Chris at a pretty familiar spot.

Shintaro gets around. He must be one of the most travelled flatlanders out there with him getting to so many events around the world. Since the worlds got cancelled he is off to Malaysia in June for a comp over there. Click here to read more about it & the flatland scene over there.

Here is a little video Ryan put together from his recent trip to Rotterdam with Josh Harrington & friends.

In Ryan’s words, ‘We went to Rotterdam for 4 days to film for Colony and Still Searchin’ and these are the left over clips so we put them together for a small web edit.’
