Cooper Brownlee laid this out a few months ago now but I just love the magazine style layout. I just had to post again in case anyone missed it back then. Click on the image to see it full screen.

This is Tom’s welcome to the team edit filmed & edited by John Young. Here is what he had to say about it…

Filmed in Brisbane on Australia Day of 2010. All but 3 of the clips from this video were filmed in the space of an hour and a half before my plane left for Sydney. It was about 35 degrees and it was painful to just be standing in the sun filming, let alone riding. Lucky, Tom is mega dialled!

Liam Fahy-Hampton has been making noises ever since his infamous ‘Run At Me Slut’ web video a few years back & we’re stoked to have him on Colony. It was just a natural progression that he would have his own line of signature products with us. His LFH grips, seats & caps as well as his Phantom frames & forks are available now all over the planet. The Phantom frame is a modern day street frame with it’s own unique look. Plus, if it stand up to Liam’s brand of riding, then you know it’s gotta be tough. Check one out along with all his signature lines at a store near you now.

Mr Radivo was in his element when we rode this park up in Brisbane last week. Good luck with the knee reco next week Pete!

Mick Bayzand is a champion. Plain & simple. I can’t get enough of his riding & he always has a smile on his face. He also always brings a smile to anyone who is around him. You too will share that same smile while riding his signature frame, the Teddy. Check one out at a store near you now or click here for more info if you can’t wait that long.

Check out his recent web vid with his good mate, Kym Grosser. Words cannot describe.

Cooper Brownlee & the entire Australian team were up in Brisbane recently for various celebrations & just to kick it for a while. We did a little day trip up to Gympie last weekend while dodging the rain. It was a good day full of fun times, BMX how it’s meant to be. Mick Bayzand took this photo of Cooper doing his thing. Both Mick & Cooper are on their way back to Melbourne via Sydney & Canberra right now. Keep an eye out for them at a town near you. Word is that Mick already slid a rail in Port Macquarie that eluded me a few years back.

Pete Radivo was up here in Brisbane recently to hang out with the entire team. While riding here he had an innocent looking crash & once again found out he has to go in for surgery on his knee. This makes it the 5th knee surgery he has had but there is some goods news at least. He will be getting a new synthetic ACL replacement & should be back on the bike in as little as 2 months. Pete’s surgery is scheduled for February 10th. Good luck mate.

Paddy Gross sent us over some photos of a recent demo he did at a car yard the other week. Definately one of the most random demo’s I have seen.

Jonny sent over some photos from a session he had over at his grandad’s barn where they have a few ramps set up, no doubt it’s crazy cold over there at the moment so riding inside must help keep the guys sane over there in England.

Broc Raiford put some work in for this edit put together by Andrew Sanford. Enjoy.

It gets stupid hot up here in Brisbane during summer, yesterday some of the boys went down to a dive spot and got pretty loose off the bridge.

Last night was Clint and Niki’s wedding party, it was a pretty fun night with a bunch of crew in town.

We have been working on this for a little while now & finally got the first samples the other day. It’s our top load version of the Official Stem. It weighs in at the same weight of the front load version & is made of the same 7075T6 alloy.

It won’t be available until August/September this year & we will release more details as they become available.

Today is exactly one year to the day, that I made it official & Colony became an independent company. It has been an amazing past year & we have come a long way. All this could not have been made possible without everyone’s support out there.

So, I would like to thank all our team riders, our employees, our distributors, our loyal shops all over the planet, our agent & suppliers in Taiwan, the websites & magazines that gave us coverage & last but not least, every single rider out there that has supported Colony in some way. Thanks to anyone that has ever bought one of our products, come riding with us or was just down with what were about. Thank you.

2010 is gonna be a banger of a year for us & I can’t wait to show the world what Colony is capable of. Word.

It just happened to work out that I was going through the small town of Kempsey (NSW) when their jam was on yesterday so I stopped in for a bit and had a roll and watched everyone shred. It was good to see a small town putting on a cool day with a bunch of riders making a fair trip out to be there. Thanks to Brodie for the photos.

Shintaro Misawa sent in a new video he did recently… enjoy.
