Well, since it seems to be the week of making up new bikes, here is another very new set up… courtesy of Cooper Brownlee & Scott Greentree of Focalpoint Check over on the Focalpoint site for a better quality image of my new bike.

Something very different for me that’s for certain… perhaps even some kind of mid-life crisis? Either way… it’s going to be a challenge that I welcome.

Yo yo !!

Seems like it’s that time of the year for everyone to be getting new bikes. Here is Andy Kent’s new MVP, enjoy.

I hooked her up a few new parts like our Mid Pivotal Seat & Official Sprocket as well as some Unlucky13 Tall bars. Peta is a light weight freak so you know it’s a light bike… that’s how we roll at Colony.

Yo yo !!

Check back in the next few days to see more pics of these 3 parts here… built-up.

Yo yo !!

Richo just sent me a quick email to say that he is having a blast hanging at Ryan’s place in Greenville & has extended his trip now another few weeks. So we wont be seeing Nick at Beenleigh anytime soon just yet.

Richo also sent me a pic of himself getting tattooed… pretty crazy sleeve work.

Long time Colony supporter, Epic BMX, held ‘A Month In The Life Of’ DVD premiere on December 1st. They also had a jam with cool little comps like a bunny hop comp & a game of foot down.

Check out their site for a little news report on the day at www.epicbmx.com

Many thanks go out to Epic BMX & Tip Plus for organising such a cool day.

I just spent the weekend in Tasmania chilling with family without my bike. For those that don’t know where Tasmania is check a map of Australia & see that little Island at the bottom? Well, that’s Tassie as us Aussies affectionately know it as.

It was great to relax without my bike for once & just do the tourist things that ‘normal’ people do. I checked out a few cool spots like Brady’s Lookout where we saw an Echidna going about his daily routine. Pretty cool to see. While driving back from there I saw this cool little park in a small town called, Beaconsfield.

I also checked out Tassie’s only BMX shop in Launceston called, Highroller BMX. It’s ran by a local rider named Brad & was really cool to see. If your ever there you HAVE to drop in & buy something or die. haha.

All in all it was a nice relaxed weekend & now I head home to turn around & go to Taiwan tomorrow… my travel never ends it seems !!

Even bushrangers need to have rails to ride.

Highroller BMX carry Colony & wethepeople as well as many other cool brands.

Yo yo !!

There is a short video interview with myself about Colony on Ryan’s website at ryanguettler.com

The last few days I have been hanging out with Jerry Badders the BMX team manager for Vans. Today he showed me around the Vans offices in California & I gotta say it’s a pretty cool set up. It’s a huge place with so much cool stuff to check out. They even have a nice mini ramp set-up as well. Definately BMX friendly too. I also got to check out Guettler’s new Whip 2 shoe in the flesh & it looks pretty damn cool to say the least.

We have been working with Vans now for a few months on a collaboration Whip 2 shoe with Colony & Vans. Expect to see it available Spring 2009 which means available January 2009. So yeah you will have to wait a while but it will be worth the wait.

I will post more info here once it becomes available.

Last week we visted the Orchid / Littledevil offices in Philly. Liam & Nick wanted to go ‘shopping’ & get some new clothes & shoes. So we all tagged along & checked out the place. We got to see the infamous bowl & yes it looks just as good as you can imagine. Pitty we didn’t have time to ride it at all but was a good tease for sure.

It was cool to see a copy of Focalpoint in the front office on the coffee table. Focalpoint rules & good to see it on the other side of the planet.

Yeah yeah, FP in the house !!

Strictly BMX have done a cool thing with some of their 2008 Endeavor complete bikes & swapped the forks & bars from each colourway to make some cool customs. Check their website for full details… they also have some Sect frame custom builds available as well.

Yo yo !!

Bruno Faucon from France sent me a pic of his new ride. His nice new 2008 Bloody Oath Frame with Full Post Heat Treatment technology in 21 inch with Bloody Oath bars, MVP Forks with Official Stem & Sprocket. Looks like a pretty sweet ride to me… I am sure Bruno will be killing it as always on his new beast.

For all your Colony needs in France contact Unleaded BMX they will sort you with the best Colony has to offer at a price you cannot beat in France.

Yo yo !!

ahhh, the weekend just gone was the zombie hop comp, triple six gallery show, and wazman’s halloween party. I’m not really one to enter a hop comp, I’m confident enough in my hop to get up or over anything that may be in my way street, so I was down to take it easy and chill and have a laugh n stuff. A quick early morning stop at the bottle shop on route to the jam and the day got off to a good start!

 I had my money on Simon Palmer and he ended up winning, check the awesome trophy that redbull got done for the winner!! there was an in and out comp and a big game of footdown, All in all it was an awesome time, with a bunch of out of towners making the trip up. The drinks kept flowing into the afternoon so it was time to put the peddle to the metal and get hammered a bit more! A bit later on was the triple 666 gallery show, aha,  there was a keg of ice cold beer as well as lots of new products from a bunch of companies that 666 do, they just picked up Fremont clothing so it was cool to see all that stuff, and of course, a bunch of buzzy stuff from Colony!! Lester from Quitechoas had a bunch of cool clothing there as well. Big ups to Justin from Redbull, 666 mike, Zombie Mike and Lester for an awesome time!

Whew, still, the drinking kept going and it was time to head shore side to Wazman’s halloween party. Can’t really remember much from the party hay, lots of people laughing and getting RAD on the loose juice! The one pic that I got was this one of the wazman looking bloody scary as shit!! aha, his outfit actually looked normal on him, guess it went pretty well with his Misfit’s Tattoo!

Lastly, was at the beach the other day and there was a family of ducks swimming along the shoreline, ducks at the beach?? whats next!!?? topless girls sunbathing!!?? ahaha, bring on suuummmeerrrrr!!!….

The BMX lifestyle in Greenville is pretty damn good.

Colin Mackay said it well by saying, ‘Everyday is a Saturday here.’ Which you couldn’t describe it better I think. Every night is a party night since no one has to ‘work’ the next day as such. They party & hang out till late at night, get up late, then go ride all afternoon & into the night then do it all over again. Pretty good way to live I say.

It can also afford you some cool toys & a nice place to live as well. Guettler’s place is amazing to say the least. You couldn’t ask for more I think. Check out Ryan’s house and a few of his toys. Not bad for riding a little kid’s bike.

The Greenville I have experienced so far is nothing like what most people assume it is. Definately a chilled relaxed vibe that is so much fun to be amoungst than some crazy BMX training ground.

Ryan’s dog, Dagger.

Last night we experienced our first Halloween dressing up for the occasion. It was plenty of fun & I can see why it’s a popular thing over here. Check out our costumes… we had 4 hunters, a pimp, an airline pilot, a halloween monster & a true blue aussie. Good times for sure.

We finally made it to Greenville, NC yesterday. We are experiencing pro-town USA first hand & I gotta say it’s lives up to it’s name. We rode Jaycee park yesterday which was awesome to do. I only wish I wasn’t so tired from driving all day so I could’ve had a better ride.

Today we were lucky enough to check out Ryan Nyquist’s The Unit. This place rules, period. So many good lines & such a relaxed session. I was stoked to be there for sure. Liam even learnt flairs on the box jump take off. So good to see.

Colin Mackay with THE key to The Unit.

Tonight as I write this I just lost at poker in Guettler’s personal poker room in his attic. Good times for sure.

Tomorrow hopefully we get to ride Mirra’s warehouse which will be an experience.

Yo yo !!

A couple days ago we rode the most amazing street any of us have ever experienced. The college in Athens, GA is totally amazing. Words cannot describe it. Liam & Mick totally killed it. Massive icepick grinds, 17 stair round rail psi rides to name a few. Even Richo & myself slid a bunch of rails. I haven’t any pics right now to post but there will be heaps to see in Ride BMX magazine & also in the web videos we will edit up from the trip. Stay tuned.

We were at the Baco Jam yesterday which was awesome to see as well. So much good riding & so much eye candy for all. The halloween party after was totally amazing. We gotta start doing halloween like that back home.

Tonight we start the drive to Greenville, NC & will be riding there for the next 3 days before heading to Woodward East. But not before the real halloween party on Wednesday night. Yeah yeah !!

Crap photo I know but you get the idea.

Yo yo !!

Here are a few random pics that Guettler took so far on our trip over here in the US. Ryan himself had to leave for a few days but will meet back up with us soon in Greenville, NC.

The title says it all, Richo in full effect.

I finally got to ride one of these set-ups & loved it.

Today we had an amazing day exploring the street spots here in Athens, GA. Tomorrow we will go back & hit them all up. Should be an amazing day. We will then head back to Orlando for Baco Jam.

Yo yo !!

We are now in Athens, GA. Yesterday we rode the No Name Park in Greenville, SC for a session to hide from the rain. The day before that we rode The Factory Skatepark to get away from the rain. At The Factory we rode for like 8 hours which was pretty good to do so. I will post some pics once Guettler emails them to me.

Now its finally good weather, so we’re going to check out the concrete park here in Athens & then go ride some street. Should be fun. More pics & posts soon.

Yo yo !!

Whats up Internet! wowsers, we just got back fromn the annual T.O.A.S.T ( Too Old After Sixteen!) Jam in Wellington, it was it’s tenth year anniversary, so it was a bit of a doozy! Myself,  zombie mike, Lester from quietchaos and Sir Smokealot himself The Wazman all went down, we stopped in at my Bach on our way down, and chilled, did some quality reading, wazman found this picture of an ‘ASS’ that he wants to get tattooed on him, and zombie mike caught up on some ideas for his garden, we chilled in the hotpools hard as well, bye bye aches and pains! we arrived at toast jam on friday evening, thanks mike lips for letting us stay at your house!! Basically riders from around the country come together to hangout, do a bit of riding, quite a bit of eating, and a whole lot of partying! lookout for a full rundown and some pics in an upcoming issue of 20/20 bmx magazine sometime soon! Also attached is a pic of our drink of choice! ahaha, it has the word ‘RAD’ in it, friggin sweet shit!

Oh yeah, had a visitor the other day as well, Taj came to stay all the way from Austin, he came over to hangout, ride his road bike, chill at the beach and basically re-charge his batteries. I haven’t seen him in ages so it was really good to have him stay and catch up. thats all for now, peace homies!

We left Orlando today but not before dropping in to check out Chad DeGroot’s Mesh Skatepark & Pro shop. This place is amazing !! Definately one of the best parks we have ever seen & an amazing shop as well. Pitty it was too hot & we were on a time schedule to ride but we will be back on the weekend for Baco.

While we were there a UPS truck arrived & in the back was a Colony Sect frame box… it ended up being the prizes from Colony for Baco on the weekend. It was awesome to see a Colony box being delivered in the US. Stoked. Big thanks to Tip Plus for getting out the prizes so fast.

Tomorrow we will hit the streets of Atlanta & some parks as well. Looking forward to finally riding our bikes. Check back for more updates tomorrow.

Mick & Liam bought themselves some blinging watches today at the mall. That how we roll. Yeah yeah !!

Yo yo !!

Last night was a huge night for all of us. So much random stuff happened, like this guy that pulled up beside us in his blinging car & showed off his Lamborgini style doors to us for no reason at the lights. Crazy.

We all felt it today that’s for sure. All good though & totally a really fun time. The finals for street were cool to see. The level of rding was amazing. We are expecting more party time tonight with the official Dew Tour after party.

Tomorrow we head to Atlanta & will actually start to do some riding !! We’re all looking forward to it as we haven’t ridden since leaving Australia 5 days ago.

Yesterday we went to the Dew Tour in Orlando & saw some crazy riding go down. It was cool to finally see one of these big comps in person. So many people there & so many friends from around the world. It’s always good to catch up with everyone & talk the shit.

Ryan had some bad luck in dirt though. We arrived just in time to see his first run & he killed it. Then for his second run he went for a double backie off the first set & ended up getting knocked out. He was OK though but unable to finish or ride in street later in the day. I was bummed for him but Ryan being the champ that he is smiled all the while. Ryan rules, period.

Yo yo !!

After one of the worst travel ventures I have ever experienced, we finally made it Orlando. What could go wrong, did go wrong, from delayed or cancelled flights to messed up car rentals to messed up hotel bookings, we got it all.

We even experienced American food at it’s worst. We all made good use (or was that bad use?) of the airline food vouchers for our cancelled flights & made pigs of ourselves. Richo & Liam had double western cheese burgers & paid for it later that night. We all felt rather ill today & I swear to never eat that much or that bad again. Richo & Liam couldn’t help themselves & are right back into it. Brave kids.

Tomorrow we head to the Dew Tour to watch, which should be cool. We will hook up with Steve Woodward & Ryan Guettler tomorrow. Ryan qualified 1st in Dirt today with a history making 1080. Can’t wait to see the that in the finals in person.

Yo yo !!

Yeah, we’re bringing our first night in the states with a bang here… $4.00 bottles of Jim Beam are quite the ticket. Bwrahahahaha.

Yo yo !!

Well we finally made it to the states but we’re not in Orlando yet. We had plenty of flight delays & now are spending the night in LA. We went for a walk from our hotel for about 5 mins & saw so much good stuff to ride right by our hotel. Pitty we’re all too jet lagged to ride but it was a good welcome sign to the states.

We dropped into a servo, oh I mean ‘gas station’ & picked up some 40’s, yeah! Cold chillen’ in the court yard of the hotel. We also saw a Dave Mirra poster in the servo… so bigtime, it’s awsome. Yo, Dan if you’re reading this… Schapel.

Tomorrow we head to Orlando to hang out at the last Dew Tour.

Yo yo !!
