Just for fun…

While Alex & I were staying at Ryan’s house a couple weeks back we put together this fun little edit riding Ryan’s new backyard mini ramp. It was crazy hot this day & so humid but was great fun doing it. I haven’t sweated that much in ages !! We even did a bunch of synchro stuff just for fun. Enjoy.

Chris Courtenay video…

A new edit from Chris Courtenay using a bit of scrap left over footage taken before he went in for knee surgery. I only wish my scrap footage was this good! Chris dropped by the office yesterday with his girl Mel & seems in great spirits. He also got himself a Subaru Impreza recently too which looks sweet. Chris will be back on the bike in November this year, it will be good to see him riding again for sure. Thanks to Salad for the edit as well, word.

Shintaro update…

Colony & Newcircle team rider, Shintaro Misawa earned himself a very respectable 5th place at the BMX Masters in Germany on the weekend. So good to see him consistently placing in the top 5 at almost every event around the world. Well done mate !! I love the fact that Shintaro rides no rear pegs & even a cassette wheel to produce a very original style.

Core Series final…

The Core Series final was on Sunday & was a good day for sure. A good turn out & the riding level was really high with a few first’s done at the park. Decade airs, flip whips, front flips, smith to whips were a few stand outs from the day. So good to watch. Our own Peta Shepherd did well enough to get 7th on the day & 5th overall for the year in expert. Well done Peta !! Alex Hiam also rode well yesterday & took out 3rd place in the pro class. Thanks to Ange for the pics.

I am definately looking forward to riding this setup once we are done! In this photo you can see a cheeky in and out on its side which is pretty fun, the pad on the ground will have something super fun on it at the end of the ledge, should be interesting when its done.

Jonny Devine update…

Jonny Devine spent the last month here in Brisbane & enjoyed every single minute of it. He just arrived back into the UK & is already making plans to get back here ASAP. This photo (Jonny is on the right) here was taken minutes before they all decided to ride down Mt. Cootha here doing 80 kmh in the dark !! Crazy. Even though I didn’t get to hang out with Jonny much while he was here, I can say that he fits into the Colony family very well. It’s good to have you aboard mate.

Straight jibbin’…

… Is a phrase Mick Bayzand coined a fair bit on our recent France trip. This epic rail here is anything but jibbin’. This is one the most craziest rails I have seen Mick do & it’s not even the biggest he has done. Mick is reported to be the first & only one to get this beast done. Hell yeah.

Oh by the way… this is the cover of the new Focalpoint magazine… due out any day now. Mick scores his first FP cover & maybe it’s his 2nd or 3rd ever photo in FP period. Be on the look out for coverage on our recent Euro trip too. Word.

Changes in the UK…

There have been some recent positive changes in the way Colony will be distributed in the UK. Alan Woods from Alans BMX, has started his own distribution house called, Tabletop Distribution. Colony will be one of it’s first brands & what this means is that BMX shops all over the UK will now be able to stock Colony much easier now. Interested BMX shops out there can contact Tabletop by emailing sales@tabletopdistribution.com with any of your enquires. Of course riders can still buy their Colony products from Alans or you will also now have many more stores to choose from as well.
