We went out the other night and hit up the new indoor park up here in Brisbane, Ramp Attak which was a bit of fun, Alex Hiam and Chris Courtenay seemed to enjoy it…

The guys over at Helensvale BMX are huge supporters of Colony & have a fair amount of their shop team riding Colony’s which is great to see. Check out a portfolio of their adverts by clicking here now.

Marnold is next on the list for a quick Q&A, he is from Melbourne Australia and grinds alot…

What are you up to today Marnold?

Finished work, having a beer then getting ready to roll with coops later.

Tell us something about yourself people probably don’t know…
I have four sisters no brothers.

What is it like living in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne in Australia?

It’s the bomb I love living in the eastern suburbs just alot nicer and close to everything for me.

What do you do for a job?

I’m a 4th year metal fabricator (tig welder)

You have been known to enjoy the odd grind or two, what grind are you pumped on doing lately?

Crooks and smiths are the best and latley x pegs been trying to get them dialed soo hard though!

What is the largest t-shirt you own?

It’s a 4xl tall tee that Josh mete brought back from America awhile ago and its got like cards dollar signs rims and that kinda shit on it. WAY to big for riding so it just chills.

Liam recently set-up a new rig, looks dialed! Good colour combo for sure!

The Sanction are a cool BMX and clothing store in Albury (NSW). Dre and Simon stock a bunch of Colony product and do a lot for the local scene! Check them out if you are in town.

Last night we picked up Mick and Liam from the airport, should be a fun week in Brisbane then we head down south. I look forward to meeting some new faces along the way.

Spotted this little interview edit over on the Alpine Stars site of Ryan… enjoy.

I left Melbourne this morning for the drive up to Brisbane which is about 2000 km’s. I have made it to Sydney and I will continue the journey in the morning. Looking forward to meeting up with a bunch of the team when I get there!

This photo is from a random spot I found on the road out in the country a couple hours from home.

Ballistyx have been around forever but only recently entered the BMX side of things, they are stocking a bunch of Colony product and even have a crazy bowl in the middle of the store! Check them out if you are in the Ringwood (VIC) area.

Chris Courtenay has his new bike together & has been ripping on it straight away. Check out his Teddy set up below… word.

About 2 years ago (I think), I noticed a young rider at Woodridge skatepark here in Brisbane. He was riding an 18″ bike that was clearly too small for him. I always said he should get a 20″ bike, sooner rather than later. I hadn’t seen him in ages but saw him recently at Woodridge ripping on a 20″ bike. It was good to see but it turned out it was his friends bike & his was broken beyond repair & it was still the old 18″ bike.

I figured I could do something about his bike less situation & got a bunch of old parts together. Ended up building him up an old Sweet Tooth of Alex’s with a bunch of parts we had around. Much better suited for him & he has already learnt a few new tricks, even in the rain.

Now before we get hundreds of emails asking for a free bike, please don’t do so. This was a special occasion & one that can’t happen all that often.

Yo yo !!

I am back in Taiwan once again for the annual trade show here. I always enjoy coming here, it’s great to get business done & always a fun time for sure. I am here to put the final touches on our 2011 ranges & will post a few sneak previews on these when ready later in the week.

Yo yo !!

Our new series of Tee shirts are shipping now around Australia. Check them out at your favourite BMX shop later this week. Click here now for more info. Sorry but these are only available in Australia for now.

The winner for our light hearted fun online comp on my 3 other most favourite things besides my VW Type 3 & my wife, was Mick Cvetkovic from Victoria. He will soon receive in the mail 5 x pairs of LFH grips for his efforts. There really was no correct answer but he guessed pretty good. 1. Bundy. 2. BMX. 3. Colony BMX. Thanks to everyone that entered.

Mick will soon be doing smith’s like this holding onto LFH grips.

Yo yo !!

We are starting a new series of online mini interviews with the team riders so that you get to know them a bit more and where they are from. First up is Alex Hiam… read on.

What are you up to today Alex?

I went to school till 1 came home and it started raining ! So nothing at all!

What year are you in at school?

In year 10.

What is your favourite subject at school?
My favourite subject is probably engineering or art.

Tell us something about yourself people probably don’t know…

This is a hard one! Well I hate reading, rain and scooters and I love skate 2, art and icey poles.

Although you are only young mate, you have travelled around a fair bit, what has been your favourite trip so far and why?

That would defInately have to be the colony road trip to Melbourne from Brisbane! So fun!

You are addicted to eating lollies, what is your favourite type?

Nah not really ! More like red-bull haha. My favourite lollie would have to be yuppie hot-dogs or sour worms!

What spot/park have you been stoked on riding lately?

Flemington banks when it’s street and Kuraby and Beenleigh with skatepark!

In this photo below are two of my five most favourite things in my life… my wife & my beloved VW Type 3. If you can name the other three most favourite things in my life you will win a pair of LFH grips in every colour that we make them. That’s five pairs of grips in total. Email your answers to info@colonybmx.com.au

Entries close Friday the 12th of March, 2010. Australian eastern standard time. The winner will be chosen at random. Good luck !!

Yo yo !!

We are pretty stoked on how these came out. These will be shipping to Australian stores next week. Check with your favourite BMX store for them then.

Henrique Castro sent us over this edit from his local park, it is well filmed and edited. I wish we had an undercover park like that down here in Melbourne right now. You can also check out a nice bike check of his new Colony setup here.

Got a quick update from Guettler…

I just got back from Australia. Had such a cool time while I was home spent a lot of time with the family. I’m in Phoenix right now doing a Vans road trip to get photos and video but we started the trip at a BMX race. I ended up getting 3rd in the Vans team race and Nasty won, it was such a cool time. I’ll keep you updated on how this trip goes… Ryan.

Yo yo !!

Chris Courtenay !! I have been watching his riding progress the past 18 months or so & always wanted to offer him a spot on the team. Well that time has finally come & Chris will now join the flow team for starters & I am sure it won’t be long before Chris is rewarded for his efforts. Welcome aboard mate & I look forward to the years ahead.

Chris is shown below picking up his new ride… Teddy frame packed full of our 2010 parts ranges. Can’t wait to see him skying aboard a Colony.

Yo yo !!

As the post below states, some of the team is in Melbourne this weekend. We had a fun ride yesterday and while we were at it we shot this sequence of Zac, he went to over ice back down the rail after it aswell. Goodtimes!

Dave Montoya has been going through some serious life threatening situations recently & he needs your help. A bunch of his close mates have gotten together to organise this inaugural event. Come one, come all to this 100% charity event to support Dave & his numerous life saving operations he needs. Check our site for some really special ways to support Dave, more on those soon.

Yo yo !!

Random pic of Tom Stretton, his bike & a friend… note sure on the story behind this but looks like fun.

Yo yo !!

Paddy sent through some photos recently, I really like this photo alot, awesome colours! Paddy has been getting out and about doing shows and travelling to a bunch of jams lately so expect to see more of him soon.

Both Ryan & Nick are on the road to Sydney doing some filming & getting some photos. Troy Charlesworth has gone along to capture the action & Josh Mette is along for the ride as well. They will be hitting up the Orange jam on the weekend as well. Look out for a story in a future issue of 2020 magazine on their travels.
