Australian made Colony Zeal signature frame for Jayden Fuller

It’s been something we’ve tried to do since 2010, have an Australian made frame within the Colony range.
Well after 13 years we’ve finally made it a reality.
What better way to grace Jayden Fuller with his very first signature frame?

We are beyond stoked to release the Colony Zeal Frame.
Hand made in Byron Bay to Jayden’s personal details.
It has come out a pure treat of CrMo perfection.
Not to mention painted in an iconic Australian ColorBond colour, Pale Eucalypt.

Only 6 produced with 5 available for purchase to the public, these will be a rare beast out in the wild.

Available now for purchase online, while stocks last.

Full details & spec can be found on the website & make sure to watch the video explaining the project.

Welcome Kim Lea Müller

Ever since meeting Kim Lea Müller through Dean Florian, something just clicked. She is obviously one of the best up and coming female BMX riders out there. Her progression, style and all while having a smile on her face while doing so, is refreshing.
But more importantly, she is a great person to hang out with and be around. I’d have no issue with spending a week on a road trip with her and the team.
It’s with great pleasure, that we welcome Kim to the Colony family.
Welcome to the team Kim!

Hard Yards #1

Hard Yards has been an event in my head for quite some time now. Saturday the 24th of June, 2023 was the day we finally made it a reality. I wanted to put on a BMX event that was completely fun & with a feel like an older comp from the 1990’s or the 2000’s. From the feedback I’ve received, looks like we achieved that. Really stoked on seeing so many smiling faces all day from riders & the crowds alike. All riders were absolutely killing it, with almost all styles of ramp riding going down.

I wanted Hard Yards to really stand out from other events. It had to be fun for those to ride in it & fun to watch those who were lucky enough to attend. Being it’s in my own backyard, invitees (19 x riders this time around) & crowds had to kept to a minimum, it’s just how it has to be.

But luckily, for those that weren’t there on the day, Cooper Brownlee & Troy Charlesworth were on hand to film the action. Expect some full blown comprehensive video coverage to come out soon. We even had Nick Richardson & Yonny Wakefield on the microphone, which was pure gold. Thank you guys.

Hard Yards was a jam format comp with groups of 4-5 riders having a 20 min jam to take as many runs on the ramp as they wanted. They could also take as many attempts at a certain trick that they wanted as well. Just like the old days, you were not stopping until you pulled what you wanted. It was great.

Classes were judged & split into different styles of riding as well. We had Tech, Burly & Style/Flow. This really enabled all riders to be able to excel in their own style of riding & grab some glory. Some riders did well in all 3 categories.

To top it all off, it was all rider judged. That’s right, each rider after the event, had their own judging form & then chose their own top 3 riders for each Tech, Burly & Style/Flow.

We also had 3 best trick events as well. One on the street spine, one on the wallride & to finish it off, one on the hitching post. Again all rider judged with all riders choosing their own winner for each.

To top it all off we had $4,750 as the prize purse for the winners.

Once all was tallyed up, the results were…

Tech

1. Paterico Fallico $500
2. Karl Southern $300
3. Clint Millar $200

Burly

1. Sam Grace $500
2. Chris James $300
3. Dean Florian $200

Style & Flow

1. Sean Gardiner $500
2. Dean Florian $300
3. Jayden Fuller $200

Street Spine Best Trick

1. Paterico Fallico $500

Wallride Best Trick

1. Chris James $500

Hitching Post Best Trick

1. Dean Florian $500

There was also a Pixeld Energy rider of the day chosen by none other than Nick Richardson himself, the owner of Pixeld Energy. For absolutely killing it all day in every way, Richo chose his rider of the day.

Pixeld Rider of the Day

1. Karl Southern $250

I plan to have two Hard Yards events each year with the next one already in the planning stages to be about 5-6 months from now.

Look out for the video coverage to be coming out in the weeks ahead. It’s going to be something really special to watch & will give you the feeling of being here in person, regardless if you were or not.
Thanks to all those that helped out along the way, you all rule. Thanks to all the riders that came along & rode all day, you all rule. Thanks to everyone that came out & supported the event, you all rule.

Hard Yards #2 will have a date announced soon.

Nick Watts – Welcome to Colony

Ever since the early ‘90’s I’ve been in awe of the riding from Nick Watts.

His take on flatland has always been so amazing and unique. Fast forward 30 years later and that riding is even more unique.

I’m so stoked to announce that Nick has officially joined the Colony family. If anyone follows Nick on Instagram @nickwattsbmx you will know what I’m talking about. His style is so refreshing and a great mix of old and new riding.

I’m really looking forward to the years ahead with Nick on a Colony. I know Nick was so stoked receiving his first ever sponsorship package in all his riding years. Seeing him like a kid at BMXmas was golden. Cheers for the good times ahead Nick!… Clint Millar.

We have some new cranks starting to drop around the planet in the weeks ahead.

Our Venator Cranks have been in the testing stages for about 18 months now. The guys on the team have been giving them a pounding & we’re stoked on the results.

These will be one of the strongest yet also lightest sets of cranks on the market.

Using a new welding technique we’re able to use unique shaped cranks arms but actually increasing the strength of the cranks while doing so.

A hollow 22mm spindle also keeps the weight down along with 7075T6 alloy spindle bolts.

Available in 165mm, 170mm & 175mm lengths.

ED Black or Chrome.

Long time team rider, family member & recently warehouse manager for our USA distribution centre, Paddy Gross has been working on this project for quite some time now.

Collecting his own footage over a year or more with his own unique style of riding celebrating the sometimes forgotten art of freestyle. Paddy really shows his love for what many would call mid school BMX. Something I personally can really relate too.

Filmed & edited by Matt Miller with a host on contributors along the way.

The finished product is a treat to watch. Sit back & enjoy !!
