We will have the worldwide debut our full 2010 range at the show. Don’t worry, for those that can’t make it we will post plenty of pics tomorrow. Check back then.

In Melbourne now…
Arrived in Melbourne yesterday & dropped in to see the guys at Strictly BMX. They definately have a well set out shop which is really impressive. They are on top of their game for sure. Plus, Kyle who works there, recently got a new tatt which features Ryan’s Official sprocket. Pretty damn cool.

On the road again…
I am on my way down to Melbourne right now & stopped off in Tamworth yesterday to see Bratt & Annette at Xtreme Cycles. Their shop has only been around since April this year & already it’s looking very impressive. Located right across the road from the town’s skate park it’s the perfect place to get your BMX bikes & parts fix. They already stock Colony & will be carrying our entire 2010 ranges from September. If your in the area make sure you go see them.
After there I headed to check out Dubbo’s park with two locals from Tamworth, Josh & Mark. It was a crazy drive through some almost rally like highway but a good drive for sure. We arrived about 4 hours later & had a fun ride at the park. This place is pretty good. I am sure once you got used to it it would be really fun. The locals were killing it with all the lines.
After more driving from Dubbo, I made it Shepparton late last night for some much needed sleep. But not before running into a few random BMXers in Parkes while getting some food. It’s good to see BMX is alive & very well, in all corners of the country.

A little news…
On Tuesday the 11th of August, my lovely girlfriend Niki & I tied the knot & are now married !! It was a very exclusive event with just immediate family present. A wonderful day was had by all & exactly what we wanted.
We will have a large party later on this year to celebrate. Words can’t describe our good it feels to be able to call Niki my wife.

Alex Hiam wins Core Series
Just as of an hour ago Alex Hiam secured himself his first overall Core Series championship win. After the last few years of getting runner up he got it together today to win with some amazing riding. It’s crazy to think what he will be doing in the years to come & I can’t wait to see it all take shape.
Congrats again Alex, you deserve it mate !!

Tom Stretton on Colony
After leaving his previous sponsor recently, I could not give up the opportunity to have Tom on Colony. I have always been a fan of his riding, so tech & original. Tom is a totally cool person as well & as such will fit on the team perfectly. He will also start work soon on a web edit, so keep an eye out for that.
Welcome aboard mate !!
Thanks to Steve Morrisey at Ride On for the pic.

Weekend trip away
On the weekend Alex Hiam, Mark Mathews-Frederick & myself travelled up north to Maryborough on a little roadtrip.
First we dropped into Gympie to stretch our legs & rode the park they have there. Not much to ride but was still a fun time. After there we headed to Woodgate as I heard about a concrete mini ramp there. This thing is amazing. So smooth & really good transitions. There were even a bunch of kangaroos hanging out in the field by the ramp. So Aussie.
That night we stayed in Maryborough with all the crew from Brisbane & the Gold Coast that were up for the trails jam the next day. It was a fun night of talking smack & having a few drinks.
The next day was all about the trails. These things are so much fun & a huge shout must go to the locals up there for their amazing efforts on these over the years. I didn’t get any pics of the trails but I am sure some will pop up somewhere soon.
On the way home we dropped in for a quick swim at a local river & I mean a really quick swim. The water was damn freezing !! After our swim we dropped into Nambour to ride the park there. Good times. Nambour is actually has the very first ramp I ever rode way back in 1988.
Getting away from the usual is always a good time & if you’re bored of your local, go get some mates, get in the car & go on a little road trip. You wont regret it.

Ride On video
The guys at Ride On BMX just dropped a video from their team trip they did earlier this year. It’s long but full of good shit for sure. All I gotta say is that Tom Stretton flat out rules. Check it out.
