Ryan & Valvoline are off to Cali for a week or so & then up to Salt Lake for Dew Tour. It’s Valvoline’s first time to both Cali & a Dew Tour so should be a fun trip. I am pretty sure Ryan has been to both a couple times before… haha. Thanks to Ryan for the pics.

Yo yo !!

There is a little background info on where the graphics for Nick’s new Gnarkill frame came from over on the new Helensvale BMX site. Click here to check it out & while you’re there check out their all new online store.

Thought I would let you all know of some of the travel plans the team have going on now or very soon…

Tim Wood was in Singapore last weekend for some demos at a brand new concrete park there, it was amazing park according to Tim. He took a bit of a spill on the vert bowl there but is OK.

Nick Richardson is off to the USA for 2 months to stay at Ryan’s house in Greenville. Expect some good things to come from Nick while over there. Nick also recently put together a nice new 2010 Gnarkill Frame.

Zac Miner & Liam Fahy-Hampton are off to China at the end of the month for an invitational comp over there in Beijing. Should be interesting.

Shane Badman is due back to Australia soon after a few years in Europe.

Mick Bayzand is also coming home in October after 18 months in Canada. It will be good to have him back in Australia.

I am off to the US in a couple weeks for Interbike. So looking forward to the Nora Cup party once again, just not the day after.

Yo yo !!

Zac & I dropped in to see Mitch & the guys at Helensvale BMX yesterday as they have just moved into an amazing new location on the weekend. Their new store looks amazing & once they are fully set up, there will be some ramps on site. They will also have an all new online store very soon.

Helensvale BMX will have our entire 2010 range in stock in the next 2 weeks.

Yo yo !!

These few pics here pretty much sum up the weekend just gone up here. Zac killed the Botanical Gardens rail in the city with this over ice. Then smashed his face on a messed up gap to second stage tooth hanger on another rail. Everyone got pretty loose at Spinal Disorder. Way too much alcohol was drank over the weekend. Oh, and a little riding went down too. Good times.

Yo yo !!

Attila Godi our flow team rider from Hungary has been busy it seems. He just got back from a contest called The Pannonian Challenge. He said it was a blast & he had fun. Check the pics. Attila also met up with Shane Badman whilst there & we will have a little mini video interview with Attila in the coming weeks. Check back soon.

Yo yo !!

The guys at Ride On BMX put together Tom’s new bike this week & it looks shit hot. Teddy frame, Teddy Bars, Official Forks & Colonial Cranks all in our Silver Storm colour way with Black Colony parts. Check it out below. All these & the rest of our 2010 ranges will be available in Australia & the USA in 3 weeks & the rest of the world shortly after.

Tom is starting work on his first web edit for Colony this weekend, expect it to drop over the next few weeks.

Thanks to Steve at Ride On for the pics.

Yo yo !!

On my way back from Melbourne last week I dropped into Sydney for a few days & hit up the Carhartt store there. I love going there… so much good stuff & Andrew always hooks me up big time. Thanks again to the guys at Carhartt for the hook up.

Yo yo !!

Tom Stretton dropped by the office yesterday to do some shopping in the warehouse for his new bike. Tom chose a new 2010 Teddy frame in Silver Storm with all Silver Storm & Black parts to suit. We will have a full bike check once Tom has it all built up in the next few days.

Once again, welcome to the team mate & I am stoked to have you as a part of the Colony family.

Yo yo !!

Liam & Marnold went for a roll with Cooper Brownlee on the weekend & got a few clips & some pics. Both Liam & Marnold were killing it according to Cooper & good times were had. Exactly what BMX is all about, having fun.

Yo yo !!

Over on the Backbone BMX site there are some sneak shots of our 2010 frames from when I dropped in to say hi on my way back from Melbourne. Check them out by clicking here now.

Zac & I dropped by Connections BMX in Bendigo on our way back from Melbourne. It’s a really cool little store with pretty much anything a BMXer could ever want. We also had a roll with the store owner Ash at the local park. It’s a really fun set up & the locals were super cool as well. Good times. Ash even fired out some flip fakies !! You don’t see too many bike shop owners doing them on a regular basis.

Yo yo !!

The guys over at ParBMX have opened up a real BMX shop in Lithuania & of course they carry Colony. Click here to check out more pics of the shop & some riding from an opening jam they had to celebrate.

As promised here are a bunch of pics of our full 2010 ranges from our stand at Ausbike. Available in September/October around the world. Hope you like them !!

Yo yo !!

We’re in Melbourne right now for the Ausbike trade show which starts today. Sorry, but it’s open to bike shops only, not the general public. 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.

Yo yo !!

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.

Yo yo !!

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.

Yo yo !!

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.

Yo yo !!
