Old Alex Hiam video…
Not too sure when this was made but must be at least 3 years old now back when Alex was around 11-12 years old. Enjoy. Spotted over on the Crossley Cycles website.

We are pretty stoked on how these came out. These will be shipping to Australian stores next week. Check with your favourite BMX store for them then.
Henrique Castro sent us over this edit from his local park, it is well filmed and edited. I wish we had an undercover park like that down here in Melbourne right now. You can also check out a nice bike check of his new Colony setup here.
Got a quick update from Guettler…
I just got back from Australia. Had such a cool time while I was home spent a lot of time with the family. I’m in Phoenix right now doing a Vans road trip to get photos and video but we started the trip at a BMX race. I ended up getting 3rd in the Vans team race and Nasty won, it was such a cool time. I’ll keep you updated on how this trip goes… Ryan.

Chris Courtenay !! I have been watching his riding progress the past 18 months or so & always wanted to offer him a spot on the team. Well that time has finally come & Chris will now join the flow team for starters & I am sure it won’t be long before Chris is rewarded for his efforts. Welcome aboard mate & I look forward to the years ahead.
Chris is shown below picking up his new ride… Teddy frame packed full of our 2010 parts ranges. Can’t wait to see him skying aboard a Colony.

Shintaro Misawa won the Flatland Unlimited 6 comp in Toronto on the weekend, so stoked to hear that news. He really has been doing so well on the flatland circuit of late & I am sure the successes will keep coming. Congrats once again mate, you rule !! Thanks to Newcircle for the heads up.

Alex Hiam dropped by the office the other day & looked right at home in the bosses chair. Who know’s one day hey?

Cooper Brownlee is one of the most busiest men in BMX in this country. Between his team managerial, art director & photographic duties with Colony & running Focalpoint magazine/website how does he find time to ride still? Somehow he does & here is some proof if you needed more. Thanks to James Patterson for the photo.

As the post below states, some of the team is in Melbourne this weekend. We had a fun ride yesterday and while we were at it we shot this sequence of Zac, he went to over ice back down the rail after it aswell. Goodtimes!
Riders from Colony are confirmed as Alex Hiam, Zac Miner, Mick Bayzand & myself. See you there !!

We now offer our Clone Cassette hubs in a female bolt style version. Our design is a little different than some others out there. They feature a 3mm section of the 14mm axle that protrudes into the drop outs. This creates a much cleaner & stronger design we feel. If you run pegs you just use 10mm versions on the rear to suit the 10mm hardened CrMo bolts supplied.
You can also get these female hubs laced up in our complete Clone wheels sets as well. These are available in Australia now & worldwide very soon.

I picked Mick up from the airport today as he is staying in Melbourne for a week to ride and he is also apart of the Us vs Them Comp on Saturday.
I wanted to shoot a photo of my bike and lately I have been messing around with coloured flash gels. It didn’t work perfect but it was good practice.

Late last month we had the entire Australian team in Brisbane to celebrate our one year anniversary of the brands independence. This chilled edit is from the little get together we had. It was a very fun, super chilled day & one that I had been looking forward to for a long time. Filmed & edited by Stewart Munro, enjoy !!
