Today we headed to the Riverside area and hit up a few parks and sessioned with local crew. We snapped a few photos during the day…

From all reports Alex rode really well at the Vans US Open. Here are a few photos I grabbed from his Instagram that @brandonmeans shot.

Alex has been a busy man over in the USA. He just shot through this update…

Hey Guys !!!

Just got back from “Tabes for the Babes” Tour to Tuscon, Arizona With a bunch of rad dudes. We broke down on the first night of the tour because the brakes failed, So we had to stay in a small town can san tee for two nights until the brakes were fixed on the RV… We were super lucky to find a nice enough mechanics to lend us a car for those two days for us to get around town.. After the brakes were fixed we were back on the road and made it safely to Arizona..

It was over 40+ Degree heat in Tucson and we were riding concrete parks all day everyday, It was exsaugthing but so fun.. Ian took us to shoot all his guns one day as-well which was so much fun !!!

The last day I rode Recon Tour At premise park, And ended up Placing 2nd in Open.. The comp was soo crazy there were over 30 riders in Open And everyone was riding so good !!! Finals was getting so intense and every one was throwing down bangers…

I Had the best time ever !!! Massive thanks to Ryan Guettler for taking all of us on this tour and a massive thanks to Premise Park and Ian !!!!

Also I shot a bunch of photos with the photographer from RIDEbmx and he is doing a 8 page story about the trip and the web video will be out soon!! I also just got invited to ride the Vans US open HB invitational comp on the 27th of this month!! Sooo happy and stoked.

This was entertaining. Check out the latest feature from TCU featuring Alex Hiam & Ryan Guettler with Dakota Roche. Well worth a watch.

Yo yo !!

Over the past few months some solid video’s have dropped from some of the crew with more to follow, here are a couple to start your day off right.

We are proud to be getting behind an event series organised by Ride BMX & supported by many in the industry in the USA. It’s a 3 part series with the first event being this Sunday the 14th July. It’s set to be a great event so get yourself along for it. Check the flyer below for details.

Our own Ryan Guettler & Alex Hiam will be there riding so get yourself along there to have a ride & say g’day to them both.

Yo yo !!

We put together a video to show everyone the highlights of the 2014 Colony Endeavour along with some riding from a few of the team guys. These bikes are available now in Australia with the rest of the world getting them in September.

I am out here in California with Ryan, Chris and Alex before we head off for Woodward West next week. Today we hit up the M

arkit crew’s backyard setup and had a blast of a time. Thanks to the Enarson family for the hookup.

Stoked to hear Alex just won the San Jose stop of the Recon tour. It was his first day back after a couple weeks off riding because of a dislocated thumb.

Alex Hiam sent in a quick update from his travels in the states right now…

Sup dudes!! Ryan and myself are heading to Dew Tour in Ocean city this week !! Ryan is competing but I am just watching !!! I can’t wait to see the course and everyone kill it !! I have always wanted to goto a dew tour, so excited !! Thanks – Alex.

Yo yo !!

I spotted this photo of Alex over on his Facebook page, looks like he is getting out in the sun over in the states.

As the long weekend kicks in for most of us in Australia, here are a few of my personal favourite web videos that we’ve dropped lately which hopefully helpes you get motivated to go out and ride, enjoy time with friends and maybe film a clip or two…

Almost a year to the day we spent 5 days filming at Woodward West and although I basically didn’t get to ride at all it was a really amazing week filming with the guys on the trip and hanging out with the guys I don’t get to see that often like Ryan, Paddy, Jourdan and Brandon it really added to an already awesome vibe we had going on.

As soon as Jack made the move to ride for Colony we went in on the filming missions travelling to Adelaide twice, all around melbourne and a trip or two to Canberra and 6 months later this came out. The kid crashes more then anyone I know but makes sure he gets it’s done in the end.

Alex Hiam went in hard on this from a few trips to Melbourne along with filming in his home town of Brisbane. The progression throughout the filming process was amazing and I enjoyed every minute of being out filming with Alex

Alex recently set-up a fresh bike for his travels overseas. Thanks to Crossley Cycles for always looking after Alex & making sure his bikes are running perfect.

So a couple months ago we dropped the Alex Hiam video which has copped a whopping 129,000 views. As we said back then we spent a lot of time filming for this project partly because of Alex and myself living at opposite ends of the country and also a few injuries thrown in the mix.

As with most web videos that come out there is always some random clips left over, crashes and even a few riding ones so we wanted to put all that together for a little behind the scenes look into the filming of this particular web video. We will be dropping a few of thes ebehind the scenes videos in the coming weeks so I hope you enjoy them.

Alex features in the latest advert we dropped in the new Albion mag showing off all the anodised colours we do. Pick up a copy of The Albion as it’s always a great read.

The past couple months Alex has been on and off the injjured list but as always he is cooking something up. He filmed a bunch of his friends and put together this video, he also has a few clips himself in it.

The wait is over !! Alex Hiam’s signature seat / post combo is finally out but in short supply & only in Australia for this initial release. You can pick one up at selected dealers Australia wide now or if you’re over seas & can’t wait you can get one right now from our online store. Click here for the full deal !!

This first release is a little thank you to Alex’s previous clothing sponsor, Dishonour Brand. The “Ride More” slogan is something the guys at Dishonour push hard which we can all relate too no doubt. With each drop of Alex’s seat , they will have a different slogan to keep things fresh. So keep an eye out for that one available worldwide in August.

Yo yo !!

Alli Sports just dropped this Day in the life with Alex which they filmed a few weeks ago. Alex and his friends hit up some rock pools along with a session at Pizzy park and the GC.

Alex has a top fives over on the Focalpoint site for everyone to read, check it out here.

We had some heat then some rain over the past 2 days. We hit some good parks then a classic pool that you may recognise from the Colony DVD. A bunch of crew were already there which made for a good time. Unfortunately it looks like Alex has broken his hand from landing a bit wrong on a flair barspin. Yesterday it rained all day which stopped us from rolling but the weather looks good today so bring it on!

Myself, Clint, Alex, Tom and Dean are over in Perth for the week filming and heading to the Mandurah comp on the weekend. Today was a fun start to the trip hitting up a few parks and hanging out with local crew. Few random shots from the day, follow us on Instagram for some solid updates during the day/nights @colonybmxbrand

Alex Hiam & Chris Courtenay went head to head on a special Australian game of BMX trivia. Who would win you think? Check it out.

Yo yo !!

Alex Hiam had once again fallen victim to injury after his recent Sony trip but was only off the bike for a week or so this time. Here is a doubles edit he did on his first ride back recently with Tim Storey. Enjoy !!

Yo yo !!

Alex Hiam had a couple weeks over the holiday period to rest up on a recent hand injury. But he got straight back into it today blasting on his bike like there was no tomorrow. He also had the chance to test out his new signature seat/post combo too. All good so far.

Yo yo !!

Yesterday we posted this photo on Instagram of the first samples of Alex Hiam’s new signature seat and it had a great response. The finished product will be out in March so look out for that and we will post up any new images as they come. The “Ride More” tag is a shout out to Alex’s clothing sponsor Dishonour who have been running with it for a while now.

The latest Albion advert for us featuring Alex Hiam and the 2013 Premise complete bike. Every issue of The Albion is rock solid so make sure you check out the new issue.

Alex and Chris just got back from the Sony Xperia tour and to finish it off Sony dropped this montage video of the best of the riding footage, so much good stuff!
