I would like to officially welcome to the team, young Brisbane shredder, Brock Olive. I had been hearing stories of Brock’s riding of late & once Cooper Brownlee met him while up here a few weeks ago it became apparent that Brock needed to be a part of the team.

Brock picked up his package today with everything we make to build up his new bike. Expect a bike check in the days ahead. Brock is also working on a welcome edit… so keep an eye out for that too.

Welcome to the team mate, it’s good to have you a part of the family.

Liam Vance is hooked up with Colony through our UK distributor, Table Top Distribution. Here is a quick edit on some riding he did in an hour at his local park, Rampworx. Liam is 13 years old & shows some good skills for his age. Keen to see how he progresses over the years to come.

Mick Bayzand’s signature frame & bars are the choice of many of our team & for good reason. They have all the right dimensions plus Mick is a badass. Plain & simple. Check them out by clicking here & here now.

Yo yo !!

Mick has been chilling out in holiday mode like most of us this time of the year. Here are a few snaps of him hanging out with some other fellow Aussies mates.

If you are into flatland & you have been looking for an excuse to travel to Tasmania, then you will want to make sure you are down there for this on February 19th. Check out the video the guys put together for where the event is to be held. Looks really sweet.

The series is presented by Newcircle & supported by many other good folks including us here at Colony. In fact, we’re giving away an Apprentice complete bike for the year end prize for the beginner/advanced class. So get your flatland moves on & get on down to it.

Yo yo !!

Broc Raiford puts some work in over two days for this park edit from Baton Rouge. As always Broc delivers with some solid riding with his own style. Filming & editing by Andrew Sanford.

Spotted over on the Focalpoint site was Cooper Brownlee’s One clip as seen below. Enjoy.

Once again we are proud to support the Blake Butterfield Memorial Jam in Kempsey on January 15th. Should be a fun one as always, so get yourself there for the good times & raise some funds for the Starlight Foundation.

I have been off the bike due to my ankle injury since last September & will be off the bike for another few months yet. I needed something to keep myself active so I got a fixed gear bike to get my ankle stronger. With the help of Mike Daly from Kickass & Med who owns Focale 44 I now have myself a 2010 model Relax fixed gear bike. Thanks also to Crossley Cycles for setting it up for me too. Thanks guys !!

I’m also going with bigger bars, these Dagger bars are bigger then my old Official bars but I’m digging them. The stem is still my fav Colony part.

Thanks to Helensvale BMX for putting it together for me.

Last year we hooked up Fat Tony from Ride BMX with a Colony flatland set up. He wanted to get into flatland & see what he could learn & have some fun along the way. He didn’t get out on the bike as much as he had hoped but still managed to get some clips down. Check them out below.

Our Contour complete wheel sets come in all of our 2011 colours & feature our Contour rims laced with stainless spokes into our Clone hubs. Available in either male or female axle for the rear & female only for the front we got you covered. Check them out by clicking here now or at your favourite Colony dealer.

My original idea was pick my top five favourite web videos from the team in 2010. But once I started going through them all, I soon realised five was going to be hard, so I made it my top ten instead. Enjoy.

1. Chris Courtenay blew minds with this edit & it fast tracked his promotion to the pro team.

2. Pete Radivo has always been one of my favourite riders & still is to this day. You rule Pete.

3. Zac Miner has got the skills in pretty much any terrain you can throw at him. Look out for more of Zac in 2011.

4. Tom Stretton is the front wheel king as far as I am concerned. I wish I could nose wheelie like Tom.

5. Simon O’Brien rules at flatland but also showed his ramp skills in this edit. Always a treat.

6. Chris Courtenay once again comes through with the goods. Looks like taking 8 months off didn’t hold him back one bit.

7. Cooper collected this footage for his welcome edit & showed his skills in front of the camera.

8. Alex had his friends film this one for this bro cam edit. Get well soon Alex !!

9. Broc Raiford is our USA flow rider & for good reason. He rules. Another guy to look out for more of in 2011.

10. Marnold rules straight up.

Last night we had a little shindig here at the Colony warehouse to celebrate the year & Xmas. It was a really fun night & I would like to thank everyone who came along. This iPhone photo is about as blurry as the time had last night… good times !!

We have once again teamed up with Focalpoint to bring you a second version of a colab seat. Shown here on Ryan’s new bike is our Fat version. The seat will come in Super Slim, Mid & Fat. Expect it in Australian shops only around late February.

Yo yo !!

Spotted this over on the Focalpoint site & was into it. It’s pretty much got nothing to do with Colony what so ever, except for the fact Ride On sell our stuff but thought it was worth sharing. I for one really enjoyed this. Word.

Yo yo !!

Simon O’Brien’s signature frame & fork for 2011 has a special feature in that for every one purchased comes with a free copy of Simon’s latest DVD, aptly named DejaVu. Not only do you get to ride the Australian flatland legend’s own set up but you get to watch his skills over & over at your own leisure. Check them out at the following dealers… Newcircle in Australia & 3edge works in Japan now & Flatland Fuel in a few weeks.

Yo yo !!

Cooper Brownlee loves getting the spray can out often to change up his bike’s look & feel. His recent colour scheme is gloss black for something different. Check it out. Cooper has been keeping busy down in Melbourne organising the teams travel plans for next year, should be a good one for sure.

Yo yo !!

Helensvale BMX have a great Colony promo going on right now… get on it !!

Yo yo !

We have been flat out the last couple weeks with multiple containers arriving full of 2011 stock. The latest which was all sent out today included re-stocks our 2011 frames, forks, bars & our fresh new colour seats. There is also the new colour pro complete bikes. Check with your favourite Colony dealer now for last minute Xmas goodies.

Before & after…

Liam Zingbergs getting rad as usual. Jacked from James Wade’s photo book… word.

Here is the first photo of Ryan & his new ride. At the moment he is on a Rebirth frame while we wait for his prototype The Living frame to arrive in the next few weeks. More on that frame soon. We will also post a full bike check in the next few days ahead.

Thanks to Colin Mackay for the photo.

When you can bomb any rail in sight & have been doing it for as long as anyone can remember, then you deserve your own signature frame. Especially if your name is Mick Bayzand. Mick has been a staple part of the team for more than a few years now & is always putting himself on the line doing what he loves. Mick’s frame, the Teddy handles this abuse with ease & is one of our more popular frame choices of the team. Check it out by clicking here now or at a Colony dealer near you now.

Effective immediately Ryan Guettler has left Mirraco on good terms to ride exclusively for Colony for 2011 & beyond.

I am really stoked that we could make this work & so is Ryan. I have known & ridden with Ryan since he was like 7 or 8 years old & this just seems natural that he would eventually ride for my company. Ryan has always been a big part of the Colony family but now it feels complete with Ryan on board 100%.

You can expect out in August 2011, a signature frame & complete bike called, ‘The Living’ with Ryan.

Once again, I am so stoked to have you aboard Ryan… looking forward to the years ahead mate.

Press release from Mirraco below…

Ryan Guettler has decided to leave Mirra Co and sign with Colony Bmx for 2011. “Ryan has been a huge part of Mirra Co since the beginning and has done an amazing job representing the brand.” explains Mirra ” As an athlete, I will always respect and support a riders decision to explore new opportunites.”

In 2005, Guettler turned pro and also proved to the other riders in Austrailia he could fly across the ocean to America and “Make it”. Ryan made Dew Tour History as a rookie by collecting Year end Titles in both Park and Dirt in the same.

“I’ve been with Mirra Co since 2006 and we’ve done some amazing trips together but now it’s time for me to become a 100% Colony rider.” “Colony is the largest brand in Australia and I want to help them get their name out in America.” “I just want to thank Mirra Co for all the support over the last 5 years.” says Guettler.

“On behalf of Mirra Co, we want to wish Ryan the best of luck and a fresh start to a brand new journey.” says Mirra.

Our Mountjoy grips come in six different colours & are available now at your favourite Colony dealer.

For those in Australia patiently waiting for new stocks of our Bull Bars they will land this week & be in stores early next week, just in time for those Christmas orders. Available in all our 2011 colours as shown here now. Check with your favourite Colony dealer to secure your pair now.
