Toormina comp…
Alex Hiam, Nick Richardson, Tom Stretton & myself all went down to Shane Conlon’s comp at his local on the weekend & it was a really fun time. Shane organised the event to raise awareness of the fact that Coffs Harbour needs it’s own ramp park, as it is well behind other regions in the area.
Alex ended up killing it & got 2nd place & $500 for his efforts while Shane ended up winning, showing he really is unbeatable on his home turf. A big shout out must go to Shane for all his efforts in organising the weekend.
We also rode a local full pipe which was a bit of fun & got up to plenty of party antics during the night. Good times in general.

Product highlight – LFH Grips
Liam’s long awaited signature LFH grips have arrived in the country & will be available in stores across Australia this week. If you live outside Australia then expect them in your country in the weeks ahead.
The LFH grips are longer than the average grip to accommodate Liam’s massive hands & to be more in proportion to today’s wider bars. Made from a very soft, yet durable compound, these bad boys will serve you well. They also come with Colony push-in style plastic bar ends to finish off the package.

Flem Banks…
Myself, Mick Bayzand, Zac Miner, Marnold & Liam Fahy-Hampton (although injured) will be there flying the flag for Colony. Should be a fun day. See you there !!

Brian Blyther… legend
I was so stoked to have met Brian Blyther in Vegas earlier this year. He is one of my earliest favourite riders ever. It was so cool to find him as a cool person as well to boot. So much so, that I told him I would honoured if he were to ride some Colony parts. With the help of Joel Gurga from Tip Plus, we hooked Brian up with a huge Colony package. He is now rocking almost every Colony part we make, stoked.
Yo yo !!
