Ryan Guettler sent in a quick update of what he has been up to of late & what he has on for the weeks ahead…

I just got back from Budapest. I went there for a Monster Energy Dirt jump contest. Had a really fun time and even got 2nd place !! They built the course for the comp but also to leave it there for the kids afterwards so they were very small jumps, which were hard for me to do my bigger tricks on, I wish they were bigger but it was amazing event. Thanks to every one over there at Monster for taking care of me and showing me a good time.

I’m now back in Greenville getting ready for the 1st stop of the Dew Tour. I really excited but Dew Tour this year it going to be fun I’ll keep you up to date on more event so

Enjoy the photos from Hungry – Ryan.

I drove through Canberra a couple of days ago and stopped in at Backbone. These guys have been holding it down in Canberra for a few years now so you don’t need me to tell you where to go for all your BMX goods in Canberra.

The new 2020 bmx magazine will be out soon & here is a sneak preview. This issue features an interview our own Liam Zingbergs as well as a full story on the making of The Colony DVD due out next month as well. There is even the first in our new advert series featuring Liam as well, check it.

Paddy Gross sent in an update on what he has been up too….

Yo everyone !! Hope all of you are doing just fine and shredding as much as you can. I am doing fine over here good ol Germany and finally the weather is getting better.

I’ve been riding heaps of demos in the last couple months and I also hit up a contest in Innsbruck, Austria with my Vans teammates Tobias Wicke, Markus Braumann, Senad Grosic and Daniel Juchatz. We’ve had a pretty cool time and the location has been awesome. The whole wooden park was placed in the middle of the forrest in front of a huge mountain chain, seriously an amazing scenery. The ramps been very awesome and we’ve had a good time shredding. At the end Markus Braumann won this thing well deserved, I scored 2nd place followed by Tobias and so on. Cool trip, cool people and heaps of fun.

Then another super awesome thing happened haha. I wrote Zac Miner that after he taught me the saying “nahyourritemate” while I was in Australia, that this has been one of my favorite memories of my visit and I got it as a tattoo on my forearm. Since I have heaps of words who have huge meaning in my life written on my arm, that one was another one I had to write on it. So Zac was stoked and told me to send it over to Nick who does the nyrm stuff. So I did, he was stoked, told me about the brotherhood and added me straight to the team hahaha. I was so fucking stoked and it all happened while I was working in a nightshift at the porn store. Wow that’s even cooler than it was anyways. Now I am able to represent one of the most awesome countries I’ve ever seen and my mates as well, can’t be better than that.

I also have kinda bad news because I won’t make it to the Colony DVD premiere cause I am going to need my travel budget for all the upcoming contests in Europe and I am not able to earn enough money from my job for a plane ticket in such a short time, Unfortunately not all the girls need toys hahaha dang it though!

So the season pretty much just started and I’ll keep having fun on my little bike like you are. All the best to all of ya and thanks for reading.

Cheers!

Random photo of Zac Miner from early last year in Melbourne. If you are wondering what he is doing in this, he rides along the edge of the left side gapping across to the right side transition. You can see a bunch more team photos on our Flickr page.

I had the pleasure of visiting Matt & Jack from Little Black Bike earlier this week down in Adelaide, South Australia.

I gotta say Matt runs a very tight ship down there & his store is very impressive. A very well laid out store that is very welcoming. It also has the cleanest work shop I have ever seen !! The scene down there seems really cool as well with some amazing city sanctioned trails, great parks & good street. Liam Zingbergs is supported by the guys as well, so you know they are on it.

Yo yo !!

We have set up a twitter account for us to post up randomness, sneak peeks on projects we are working on and just the general things that go down on a day to day basis here at Colony. If you use twitter make sure you follow us.

As you may have heard the other day  Ryan and Daniel Dhers have taken over Dave Mirras warehouse, well here is the latest info from Ryan about the plans…

“Because it has been such a private BMX warehouse for so long we will be opening it other riders. THIS does not mean you can just show up and Ride but if you message our facebook page or email bmxwarehouse@hotmail.com you can find out riding times and event dates.”

The guys at Unit put together this edit of Ryan talking about what he has been up to the past year. Some interesting news about what they are doing with Mirra’s warehouse in Greenville…

Zac sent in a quick update about that he has been up to…

“I’m still in Canberra having a ball, working to get my move to Brissy underways, hopefully all comes good! Been riding heaps of late, mainly skatepark just getting stuff down. I went out on the weekend though and started filming for a Backbone edit with some of the crew, awesome day in the end.”

Nitai recently found some photos in an old hard drive from our first team trip we did back in 2007 to New Zealand.
