Since Cooper Brownlee has become an integral part of Colony this year with him being in charge of our much improved art direction, we thought it was time we did a collaboration.
I am pleased to reveal the Colony/Focalpoint pivotal seat. Available only in Australia & limited to 250 seats only. Get them while they last. Available from early December, just in time for Xmas. More info soon.
Can’t wait for this one… have always missed them in the past due to other commitments but will not miss this one no mater what !! Quite a few of the team will be there as well so see you all there !!
Richard at Crossley Cycles was the first ever bike shop I went to when I got into this thing we call BMX. That was way back in 1988 & I have shopped there ever since.
Richard has helped me out beyond comprehension & I could never really pay him back for his support over the years. Thanks Richard !! It’s good to see him continuing this support towards riders like Alex Hiam these days.
Richard has always done things a little old school, so Cooper Brownlee (from Focalpoint BMX) & us here at Colony got together to get him a simple website going. Crossley’s are now in the 21st century, hooray !! Click here now to check out the website from one of the original BMX shops in Australia.
Richo & Ryan decided to show their alliance to Beenleigh on a more permanent basis with some new tatts… check them out below. Ink done by Brian Lee as always. Brian also penned the girl used on Ryan’s Official forks & bars.
Attila Godi recently put together a new bike & sent in these pics for us all to check out. Gnarkill frame decked out with all our 2010 parts. The White & Tangerine combo looking the goods for sure. Thanks go out to Harlee Shop for helping him out & repping Colony for us in Hungary.
Earlier this year a store opened up in Perth called, Six Four Skate & Ride. Out of all the BMX brands out there they chose Colony as their one & only brand to carry, something we’re rather stoked on. Their store has a really neat boutique look about it which we’re really into. If you’re in the area make sure you drop in & check out our entire 2010 ranges including our complete bikes.
Toby told me he was filming for a new web edit & he sure did put some work in for this one. Some really good riding in there with some tough stunts to boot. Check out Toby’s latest riding below, enjoy.
Liam Fahy-Hampton’s signature LFH grips are shipping soon & will be available this side of christmas. Check with your favourite BMX shop from early December.
Focalpoint have done a cool desktop calendar for the month of November featuring our very own Marnold. Click here now to download various sizes to suit your screen.
Our entire 2010 range is available in a wide array of colours including Matt Black. You just can’t go past a good classic Matt Black, it just looks so good. Shown here are our Gnarkill frame, Bloody Oath V2 bars & Official V4 forks. Check them out for yourself at your favourite BMX store now.
Alex Hiam is off to Mackay this weekend for the X Kings dirt jump comp going down up there. Organised by the guys at Corry Cycles & Pure BS it is set to be a pretty fun event with some good prize money up for grabs. We have helped out with the event by supplying prizes & sending Alex up there to shred. Click here for more info.
A long time friend of mine, Scott Greentree has been running a cool website for a while now & you all should check it out. Natural BMX explains it all by it’s title. Click here now to check it out.
Check out this mini interview with Nick Richardson, enjoy. Thanks to Guettler for the pics.
1. You have been in America for around 2 months now, you still having fun?
Hell yeah, its so much fun here, I already can’t wait to come back!
2. 5 favourites you have seen in America.
1. Sorority houses
2. Zaxby’s
3. Campus street
4. Cheap beer
5. 5th street distillery
3. What are some of the places you have been riding here?
I usually go ride street at the campus or Guettler’s back yard, that shit is so fun!
4. What was the idea behind the ‘Day in the Life’ teaser?
haha, Guettler & I were sitting around the newly made fire pit one arvo, drinking a beer or ten, and he was like “yo, we should film a funny day in the life of you” I was like “fo sure son” then we just started coming up with some ideas and it just went from there I guess!
5. Are you filming for anything else right now?
Yeah gotta start filming a real day in the life so everyone doesn’t think I’m training for the Tour de France. Other then that, I have just been getting clips here and there for Colony!
6. Are you looking forward to going home the Australia?
Yeah I guess, can’t wait to go to the beach, ride my local trails and see my friends, but I kinda wish I stayed longer too!
7. Talk about some of the night life or what you have been doing off the bike?
Well the nightlife is pretty rad except everything shuts around 2am, but its still fun. I got out around 5 nights a week, haha. Other then that I try and help Valvoline build the back yard ramps, that kid is out of control I’d let him build my house for sure!
Our own flatland superstar world traveller, Shintaro Misawa is off to the Philippines early December for a comp over there. I am sure as usual he will do very well in the comp. Shintaro has been on a roll this year. Click here for more details now.
Mick Bayzand is back home after his 18 month stint in Canada. Welcome home mate !! Here are a few pics that George Bolter from NZ got while he was there. Thanks for the pics !!
This Saturday night at the usual venue is another DVD premiere put on by Stu Munro. Any excuse to go have a few drinks & have a good time is fine by me. See you there !!
