Alex Hiam has been off the radar of late but that will soon change.

His new bike shown is the new 2013 Sweet Tooth frame which will be available worldwide in July this year. The colour shown is an exclusive colour to his model frame, Matte Orange. Alex’s frame will come in 19.8″, 20.3″ & 20.6″ sizes.

Read on below as to what he has been up to of late…

Yoo! I have been injured with a broken ankle for 3 months now and fully recovered from surgery. I have been going insane not riding and finally built my new 2013 Sweet Tooth and going to start riding again 🙂 I haven’t been doing much while I’ve been injured, just Xbox, school and chilling with mates. I have had a pretty bad start to 2012 with getting real sick then breaking my hand and ankle. Now that I’m all healed and hopefully I have a injury free year ahead of me ! My main priority when I start riding again is to film another web edit! Here are some photos of when I was injured and my new Sweet Tooth.

Yo yo !!

Alex Hiam broke his leg a little while back so the filming for this project was cut a little short but he still came through with a bunch of quality moves. You can read more about his frame here.

We used the fisheye version of this photo of Alex for an advert a while back but here is a long lens shot of it for your desktop. Download widescreen here and standard screen here.

Crossley Cycles are one of Australia’s OG BMX shops & still going strong after all these years. Over 30 years to be precise. They recently joined the 21st century & have a full blown website & online store now. The store is ever expanding with more & more products added but you can now order directly from it & pay online as well. A really cool feature they have is a pay & collect in store option. Check them out now by clicking here.

Alex Hiam also rides for Crossley’s so you know they are down with BMX & supporting riders out there. Speaking of Alex, he recently just had surgery on his leg & is on the slow road to recovery. He should be back riding in a few months all going to plan.

Alex and Clint teamed up to film a split ten clips at Woodridge park, enjoy.

Even while Alex is off the bike with injury he is putting out edits. Put together by his mate, Julian Ball using clips that Alex calls scraps, it has some solid hammers in there. I only wish my scraps footage was half as good as this. Enjoy.

Yo yo !!

Alex Hiam broke his leg a week or so ago now & had to wait till the swelling went down before a cast could be applied. Well he has had that done now & will have about 6 weeks off the bike. He will be back though better than ever on his new Sweet Tooth V2 frame & filming for an upcoming promo video for it. In the meantime, Alex will be back real soon serving up the best coffee in Cleveland.

Yo yo !!

Alex Hiam fractured his left ankle Saturday while riding. He will be off the bike for at least 4-5 weeks, rest up mate. We can all expect to see Alex back on his bike in no time. In the meantime, check out his ten clips video below from.

Back in early December of last year, we spent five days in Adelaide, South Australia riding a bunch of spots along with a few parks with the locals and this is the end result.

This was all to promote the up coming Vans / Colony shoe collaboration collection being released worldwide, in March this year.

Filmed by: Clint Millar, Cooper Brownlee, Ryan Guettler, Mick Bayzand, Tom Stretton and Zac Miner.

Our friends over at Dishonour are having a bit of a competition where you can win a limited edition colourway of their newest jersey. All you gotta do is jump onto their facebook page and vote for your favourite Dishonour team rider. Make sure you vote for either Brock or Alex!

We have a couple new frames on offer for 2012 & a couple V2’s of existing models as well. Below is brief outline of our range.

From Zac Miner we have the Miner frame which is available in 20.75″ & 21″ TT coupled with a short a responsive rear end of 13.25″.

Ryan Guettler’s new frame, The Living is available in 20.8″, 21″ & 21.25″ TT & is all round frame for all types of riding styles.

The Sweet Tooth V2 is a revised version of Alex Hiam’s signature frame & comes in either 19.8″ & 20.25″ TT. It’s designed for smaller riders who want a responsive frame for progressive riding.

Lastly but certainly not least is Mick Bayzand’s new Teddy V2 frame. It’s a taller frame built to handle anything Mick (or you) can throw at it. Ready to bomb any rail in sight right out of the box.

Check them all out at a Colony dealer near you now or buy direct from our online store.

On only the second day of our Adelaide trip, Alex Hiam took a fall on the city trails, which resulted in him not being able to ride the rest of the trip. We all thought (including Alex) that it was just a sore finger & nothing too serious. Well he went to the doctors today & it turns out he has a broken hand. He will now be in a cast for the next 3 weeks, wishing you a fastest recovery mate.

Whilst we were in Adelaide we got this fun little one clip at the West Beach Park. Take note of Cooper riding Alex’s bike. Filmed by Alex Hiam.

Alex has been quietly collecting some footage while out riding with his mates & this is the end result – Bro Cam 2. Some really good technical ramp stuff in here. It’s awesome that every time I see Alex he has learnt another bunch of tricks. So good. Sit back & enjoy the Alex Hiam show. Alex also edited it this himself by the way.

Yo yo !!

Alex Hiam turns 16 today… happy birthday mate !! To help celebrate his birthday here are a few web edits from Alex over the years on Colony.

Next up in our Ten Clips series of video’s is Alex Hiam. One of his favourite parks here in Brisbane is Fairfield, so we hit it up one weekday so it was a bit quieter, which it was but it was crazy windy at times. You can probably tell how windy it was in the background of some of the clips. Alex was keen though so we spent the afternoon filming this. Thanks to the locals for being patient at times.

Filmed and edited by Cooper Brownlee with additional filming by Rhys Yeomans.

Yo yo !!

Zac Miner, Alex Hiam, Tom Stretton, Brock Olive & myself headed down to Newcastle on the weekend to ride & to attend a DVD premiere hosted by the guys at Drift Bikes. A huge thanks to everyone at Drift. On the way down we also hit up the new park in Nimbin which was a blast. Get yourself there sometime soon if you wanna ride a great snake run & park.

A huge thanks to Adam Ingles & all the Newcastle locals that showed us a great time. A special thanks also go to Matt & his boys for letting us ride his backyard ramps. Thanks for the Jack’s too, good times !!
