Yesterday was the Connections birthday jam which we helped support with a bunch of product. Myself, Liam and Mick along with a bunch of crew headed up to Bendigo for the day. There was a boat load of riders there which was great to see. Ash who is doing the bars over the channel in the deep and steep bowl below owns Connections and is a tough dude, no more then 10 minutes before we shot this photo he was carving around the over vert (in the background) at high speeds when his front wheel went over the top, it was a gnarly crash which gave him a deep cut n his chin (look closely at his face in the photo) but it didn’t stop him shredding!


Mick put together a new setup recently, repping as always the gold parts! His Colony parts list goes a little like this…
Frame: Teddy 20.85
Forks: Official
Bars: Teddy
Headset: Colony
Hubs: Clone
Rims: Clone
Seat: Focalpoint X Colony
Seat post: Colony pivotal
Cranks: Colonial
Pedals: Fantastic Plastic
Sprocket: Official
Pegs: Oneway Alloy

Got plastic? If you’re like 99% of riders today, you would. Our Fantastic Plastic pedals have been out for a while now & are tried & true. Excellent grip, low profile, light weight & affordable, what more do you need in a pedal? Check them out in more colours than you poke a stick at… (not sure what that Aussie saying means but we all say it down here?)

Don’t forget the Connections BMX jam is on tomorrow… get yourself there if you’re in the area for some good times on your bike.

It’s always sad when a team rider leaves the family here at Colony but we would like to wish Justin Burns all the best for the future. Justin will no longer be riding for us & has been offered a position on the Verde team along with his good mate, Kevin Kiraly. I would like to thank Justin for his time with us & this change has come about under the best of circumstances. Here is his most recent web video again just for good measure. All the best mate !!

Oleg Alexandrov our flow rider in Russia, sent me this video a few weeks ago but I have been really busy & didn’t get around to watching it till now. Really glad that I found the time to check it out. It’s got some really good stuff in there & Oleg has the skills for sure… wow. It’s taken from the DVD called, ‘Stress’ from over there. You can click here now to see the full length video.

When you are on the road a lot you see some random stuff all the time, like the other day when we were heading out of Sydney we parked to hit a spot and Mick spotted this goat along with a cow in a front lawn of a suburban house. Every house was packed in like normal suburbs these days yet this one place had a little extra land so Mick fed it some McDonalds chips and the goat was stoked!

The King of Dirt for 2010 is on a couple of weeks in Brisbane, Australia. We are getting behind the event & it should be a fun one as always. Check the flyer for more details & see you there.

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.
