Our flow team rider in the UK, Jonny Devine, sent over some pics of his current bike. A Bloody Oath with all our goodies on it. The weather over there is -2 degrees C at the moment so not much riding happening, just playing with the ice. A little bit different to here of late with 38 degrees C on new years day which was spent on the beach, perfect.

A long time friend of mine, Michael Canfield, had his bike stolen on New Years night from his back porch. Such a low act to steal anyone’s property, especially someone’s bike. If you’re in the Brisbane area keep an eye out for the bike shown below. It’s a Colony Sect loaded with heaps of Colony parts as listed below… If anyone has information please contact us here at info@colonybmx.com.au

Check this out from 1991, top left is myself while top right is Ryan Guettler.

This was at the FlatAmp Comp Series held at Nunawading & featured in the August/September issue of BMX National. I ended up winning 16 years flatland & Masters flatland while getting 3rd in 16 years ramp while Ryan won the 14 & under ramp class at a mere age of 8 years old.

Thanks to Matt Holmes from 2020 BMX magazine for the bringing back the cool memories that seem so long ago.

The other day I picked myself up a copy of Epic Invasion while I was at Ride On BMX. I forgot that I even bought it after the Corona’s at Steve’s shop & today I got around to watching it for the first time. I was rather impressed & gotta say it lived up to the hype around it. Troy did a great job on the overall DVD & was stoked to see Zac Miner’s killer section & even an appearance from Alex Hiam. Stoked. Do yourself a favour & pick yourself up a copy now, you wont be disappointed.

Mark Mathews-Frederick is the guy who does all my CAD drawings for Colony & recently put together a swag of new parts on his Sect. Mark loves to play around with different paint jobs & colour schemes & I think this is one of his best yet. Check it out below. Plus we got an action pic of him putting his bike to good use… Yo yo !!

In bike shops all across Australia our 2009 Endeavor has finally hit. For those that have waited patiently, the wait is finally over. Check one out soon at a shop near you before they’re all gone again. If you end picking one up don’t forget to ask for your FREE Colony Web Videos DVD, while stocks last of course.

The other night we had a poker night at Toby Mathews’ house with one of the new poker sets we have out now. Toby even had a cool table made with felt complete with a Colony logo. It was a fun night except that I was the second to be out in the game & then had to watch all night, I suck at poker. In the end, it came down to Matt King & Toby Mathews, with Toby taking the win & the $400 pot. Matt scored himself the poker kit we played on. Good times.

Jonny sent me a little update from over in the UK today & it seems he had a little mishap with his ankle… see the pic below. He will be back on the bike in no time but still looks rather painful. The weather has gone to shit over there as Jonny put it & said that it’s all just indoor park riding right now. All good though as he has a few to choose from which he will be back riding soon enough. Jonny also just put our new Colonial Cranks & Teddy Bars on his bike from Alans BMX & loves them. Thanks Jonny!

Yo yo !!

Yes… we have done a very limited edition Colony Poker Set which will be only available in Australia for the time being.

Last night we went to an awesome little Japanese BBQ restaurant called Kanpai. It had a really fun atmosphere & you cooked your food yourself on a little BBQ on your table. At 8pm everyone in the restaurant has to Kanpai !! Meaning, everyone has to cheer & drink all of your drink & you get a free one in return. Fun times for sure. Thanks go out to Allen, the manager for showing us such a good evening.

Yo yo !!

Zac Miner has scored the cover of the new 2020 BMX magazine.

A huge congrats goes out to Zac Miner who has been killing it of late. Thanks for all your hard work Zac !!

It’s Kenny Raggett’s 30th birthday today & we wish him the best day possible. Have a great BBQ today mate & sorry I couldn’t get down for it. How time flies hey? I remember when I first started seeing Kenny around the BMX scene here in Australia & he impressed us all with his skills on the bike. One thing that we all either love or hate (sometimes both) is his ability to always criticize anything you say that isn’t in perfect grammar. He’s always got something to say! haha. Have a good one mate & have a Pepsi or two for me.

Yo yo !!
