Later next month, almost the entire team will be meeting up in Brisbane to ride for a few days then head back down south making our way to the BMX Games scheduled for February 25th, 26th & 27th in Canberra.
Along the way we will be dropping into some select Colony dealers with a bunch of giveaways, signings & a bunny hop comp open for all to enter. So come along & meet the guys at your favourite shop shown below.

Right now here in Brisbane, Australia there is a looming flood crisis at levels that have not been since the disastrous floods of 1974. Over the coming days, it is set to surpass those records set 36 years ago. My thoughts go to all those effected by this natural disaster. Already, lives have been tragically lost & let’s hope there are no more. I wish everyone the best in the days ahead.

This is the most recent advert for us in the current 2020. Monster whip drop to the grass bank by Chris Courtenay.
I came across this edit today featuring Tom Stretton riding his local park with Justy Bumpstead. Tom does some really cool stuff in this.

I would like to officially welcome to the team, young Brisbane shredder, Brock Olive. I had been hearing stories of Brock’s riding of late & once Cooper Brownlee met him while up here a few weeks ago it became apparent that Brock needed to be a part of the team.
Brock picked up his package today with everything we make to build up his new bike. Expect a bike check in the days ahead. Brock is also working on a welcome edit… so keep an eye out for that too.
Welcome to the team mate, it’s good to have you a part of the family.

Liam Vance is hooked up with Colony through our UK distributor, Table Top Distribution. Here is a quick edit on some riding he did in an hour at his local park, Rampworx. Liam is 13 years old & shows some good skills for his age. Keen to see how he progresses over the years to come.

Mick Bayzand’s signature frame & bars are the choice of many of our team & for good reason. They have all the right dimensions plus Mick is a badass. Plain & simple. Check them out by clicking here & here now.

Mick has been chilling out in holiday mode like most of us this time of the year. Here are a few snaps of him hanging out with some other fellow Aussies mates.

If you are into flatland & you have been looking for an excuse to travel to Tasmania, then you will want to make sure you are down there for this on February 19th. Check out the video the guys put together for where the event is to be held. Looks really sweet.
The series is presented by Newcircle & supported by many other good folks including us here at Colony. In fact, we’re giving away an Apprentice complete bike for the year end prize for the beginner/advanced class. So get your flatland moves on & get on down to it.

Broc Raiford puts some work in over two days for this park edit from Baton Rouge. As always Broc delivers with some solid riding with his own style. Filming & editing by Andrew Sanford.

Spotted over on the Focalpoint site was Cooper Brownlee’s One clip as seen below. Enjoy.

Once again we are proud to support the Blake Butterfield Memorial Jam in Kempsey on January 15th. Should be a fun one as always, so get yourself there for the good times & raise some funds for the Starlight Foundation.

I have been off the bike due to my ankle injury since last September & will be off the bike for another few months yet. I needed something to keep myself active so I got a fixed gear bike to get my ankle stronger. With the help of Mike Daly from Kickass & Med who owns Focale 44 I now have myself a 2010 model Relax fixed gear bike. Thanks also to Crossley Cycles for setting it up for me too. Thanks guys !!

I’m also going with bigger bars, these Dagger bars are bigger then my old Official bars but I’m digging them. The stem is still my fav Colony part.
Thanks to Helensvale BMX for putting it together for me.

My original idea was pick my top five favourite web videos from the team in 2010. But once I started going through them all, I soon realised five was going to be hard, so I made it my top ten instead. Enjoy.
1. Chris Courtenay blew minds with this edit & it fast tracked his promotion to the pro team.
2. Pete Radivo has always been one of my favourite riders & still is to this day. You rule Pete.
3. Zac Miner has got the skills in pretty much any terrain you can throw at him. Look out for more of Zac in 2011.
4. Tom Stretton is the front wheel king as far as I am concerned. I wish I could nose wheelie like Tom.
5. Simon O’Brien rules at flatland but also showed his ramp skills in this edit. Always a treat.
6. Chris Courtenay once again comes through with the goods. Looks like taking 8 months off didn’t hold him back one bit.
7. Cooper collected this footage for his welcome edit & showed his skills in front of the camera.
8. Alex had his friends film this one for this bro cam edit. Get well soon Alex !!
9. Broc Raiford is our USA flow rider & for good reason. He rules. Another guy to look out for more of in 2011.
10. Marnold rules straight up.

We are having a little comp over on our facebook page where you can possibly win yourself some grips and stickers.
All you have to do is become a fan of the Colony page then leave a comment there about what colour you like the most in the current 2011 product range and you will be in the draw.
Five riders will be picked at random and sorry for this one it is for Australian residents only.
Make sure you check out the latest 2020, it’s the biggest issue yet and it also has a solid article on the USA trip we did a couple months ago. It also features a story on Alex Hiam’s US trip this year & your chance to win $3,000 worth of Colony product. Check the preview below…
