If you live in New Zealand then you most likely know of the Hedgehog chain of bike shops. Well, they have carried the full range of Colony bikes & parts from pretty much day one now. These days Colony is one of their better selling brands which we are stoked to hear. Check out their full range of BMX products on hand including Colony. While I was there in NZ I dropped by two of their stores, Takapuna & Onehunga as seen below.

On the 20th of February there is set to be a nation wide series of flood relief jams aimed to raise funds for the victims of the QLD floods.

We here at Colony are getting behind them all & especially the one set at Beenleigh. Almost the entire team will be present & should be a great day for all involved. Gold coin donations are expected from everyone who attends the day & there will be bands playing as well. More details on other jams will be posted here in the days/weeks ahead.

I dropped into T.Whites Bikes in Auckland, NZ last week & I gotta say Tim has got a pretty sweet set up going on there. Real nice mix of products & bike styles. T.Whites also have full access to the entire Colony range & can get you anything Colony you so desire. If they do not have it in stock, they can get it in no problems. Check out their site by clicking here now for more details.

Dropped by the public trails here in Queenstown, New Zealand today & they look really good. We were here a few years ago with the team & the trails have progressed so much since then. So many lines it looks really fun. It’s pretty cool that these are council backed & endorsed. They even pay someone to keep them in top condition. If only more councils were this behind trails around the world.

Yo yo !!

Right now I am over in New Zealand in Queenstown on a little holiday. I was here a few years ago with the team & we rode the park in town. It has been completely changed since then & I snapped these iPhone shots today. Keen to come over one day again for sure, looks fun as.

Henrique Castro from Brazil sent a quick little email to say that like here in Australia, it has been raining heaps of late & so his riding time has been short. But he did get out the other day in between rain showers to have a roll in his local streets with some mates. Valvo recently put together a Teddy frame & he is loving it. Thanks to Marcelo at Dream BMX for looking after Valvo over there for us.

When all round German good guy, Tobias Wicke emailed me saying he would like to ride some Colony parts I was stoked. I have known Tobias for a long time now & have always looked up to his riding as well. Such a legend. I was stoked to see he chose a Teddy frame as his frame of choice packed along with plenty of our parts as well. Pretty much almost an all Colony bike. Thanks for the support Tobias, enjoy the new bike !!

“The other day made the 7 hour trip out past Albury to Mulwala Lake where I did a demo on the Friday night and Saturday with the Showtime FMX crew. Good times hanging out riding and partying.

I also took part in another of Shaun Gladwell’s art projects in Sydney. This project will
be shown in Melbourne in May. Again the topic is spinning but from a different angle, the footage looked amazing!” – Simon.

Right now here in Brisbane, Australia there is a looming flood crisis at levels that have not been since the disastrous floods of 1974. Over the coming days, it is set to surpass those records set 36 years ago. My thoughts go to all those effected by this natural disaster. Already, lives have been tragically lost & let’s hope there are no more. I wish everyone the best in the days ahead.
