Our good friend Eric Cuiper from over in the USA recently had a rough incident where a drunk driver took him out whilst he was riding home from work. Luckily Barney is going to be ok though and we wish him a good recovery! Barney kills it on the bike and has been good frends with myself and Clint for a while now, much love brother!
Alex Hiam copped the newest print advert promoting his signature V2 Sweet Tooth frame. This advert is in the current issue of 2020. The photo was shot just a few weeks back when we were at Woodward West.
I’ve spent the past 3 weeks in Brisbane filming a bunch of future web video stuff. Today is my last day here before I start the solo 1,900km drive home. It’s been a blast so I thought I would post up a few photos from some of the times out filming…
Simon shot through a quick update, he always seems to be travelling which is awesome!
“Just flew home from Japan acouple days ago, had a great time catching up with riding friends. Got to see a pretty cool festival the day before I flew out. Now got my sights set on getting ready for the ‘Redbull Circle of Balance’ back in Japan in September.”
The first drop of the 2013 bikes are in and available at your local store right now! Check out the catalogue below of the new rides.
Thanks to Stu Munro for shooting this sequence through of Mick Bayzand down at Prahran park a couple months ago. The park is also just around the corner from Strictly BMX.

If you are following us on Instagram (@colonybmxbrand) you would know that some of the team are up here in Brisbane this weekend filming for some web video projects. We got lucky with the weather yesterday and were able to film some solid clips. We have alot of web video content coming out over the next few months so keep an eye out.
Liam shot through an update of his latest missions to earn some cash…
“Hey brah brah, thought I throw this quick update of what I’ve been up too of late. So a week ago I got back from doing some work up at a mine in the top end of SA, these are some photos of the shit I was doing. Some earthworks and pipe laying and welding. I’m due to head back up soon and keep making bank so I can head back over to the states. I’ll throw another update pre slay rails until then stay trill.”
Valvo has been busy filming for his latest web video. Here is a quick shot that Flavio Freire took for him.
Mick goes hard whenever he isn’t injured, actually he goes hard even when he is. Lots of variety in this web vid promoting his Teddy V2 bars.

We are running a little giveaway on Instagram for all our followers where basically all you have to do is hashtag #colonybmxbrand into any colony related photo and we will pick 5 at random to send out a bunch of stickers and The Colony DVD.
Mick was fortunate enough to hit up a nice looking backyard setup recently…
“The other day it was Canada day and I was lucky enough to get invited out to a BBQ Canada style at Ron Murcers house where he has an amazing skate park in his backyard called The Woodyard. The place is sooooo much fun and has lines for days. It was a really good turn out and the locals are amazing riders and even more amazing as people.
We had a dope sesh, super chill, lots of beers and lots of laughs were had. It was an amazing way to spend the day. Thanks so much to Ron for letting us hit up his backyard and all the locals for being super cool.”
Fat from Alli Sports hung out with us for a day whilst we were in California and this was the end result. A super fun day out in the sun.
A couple weeks ago Ryan headed to Pennsylvania for a Vans demo and it looks like all the riders and the crowd enjoyed the day.
Zac shot s through an update from Canberra…
Hey all. Not much has been happening of late. It’s been hard to get motivated to ride in Canberra because it’s been freezing. You go for a ride it’s atleast -5, it’s so shit if you fall off! I’ve be rocking trackies whenever I ride, it’s the best feelin riding in them.
In other news I’m heading up to Brissy next week to film some more of my up and coming edit, be good to see all the Brissy crew again! It’s Millar’s birthday so I’m sure I’ll have him do some dance moves by the end of the night. I’ll hit ya’s up again with an update next week when I’m in Brisbane, hopefully have some photos of Millar dancing. Anyways talk to you all then.
We had a roll at the new Underwood park here in Brisbane yesterday which was good besides battling the crazy amount of scooter kids there. Chris is not far off finishing filming for his Colony edit, its going to be so good!
A few months back myself, Liam, Marnold and Brock headed over to Shanghai, China for the Asian X-Games. If you were following via the site you would know we had some crazy issues with missing bikes and Brock getting hurt but all in all it was a fun trip and this is the video we made from the days we spent riding after the comp was done. Thanks again to the locals for helping us out.
Make sure you grab the next 2020 mag that comes out very soon for a full article about the trip. Check the preview below.
Bayzand sent through another update to keep us in the loop of his Canadian adventure!
“We had some nice weather the other day so I made the most of it and headed down to the plaza for a roll. This place is soooo dope, lots of stuff to grind and the mellow down rail is amazing. they have all so added a few new things since last time I was here which is pretty cool. Thanks to my girlfriend who snapped a few pics while I was riding.”
Simon is escaping the cold weather of Australia by venturing over to Japan. He has been studying hard of late so it was time for a break. Hitting it hard with some good sessions with the locals over there, Simon also has some demo’s lined up so we will keep you posted on them also.
Brock recently went on a trip with his shop sponsor LUX. He shot through this update about the trip…
“I just got back from the LUX trip last Thursday and it was amazing, one of the funniest trips I’ve Ever been on.
We drove up to Gladstone and rode parks along the way and all the way back to Brissy. We’re gonna have the edit as a little premiere at the LUX 2nd birthday party in 2 weeks so should be a good night.”
Jack Birtles really did well with this edit of Tom. Such a good vibe throughout and it just makes you want to go ride your bike, enjoy!
Bobbie really put in work for this and I am stoked how it came out. Filmed at the MLK park in Long Beach CA. We lost a fisheye in the process but it was bound to happen one of these days.

Fast and hard gap to wall ride from our trip to Adelaide a little while back for the Colony X Vans shoe. If you watch the video below you will see the clip of this photo. If you are in Australia, Strictly BMX have copies of The Albion with the proceeds going to The Leukaemia Foundation which is pretty awesome.

“As most of you would know I am in Canada again for the summer. I nearly didn’t make it here as I had some passport issues, ticket issues and every other problem you can think of. But I am here now and it has been amazing so far. I have just spent the first week hanging out with my girl and catching up with all the homies over here. Such a good vibe and everyone’s so nice.
