Crossley Cycles are online !!
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.

Six Four…
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.

Mini interview with Richo
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!
