It’s so good to see BMX alive & well in all corners of the globe. Our distributor in Colombia, Community BMX, has just hooked up Ricardo Rodriguez with flow on Colony. Here is little video of what the BMX scene is like over there & what they have to ride. Ricardo does some good stuff & I welcome him to Colony with the help of Community BMX.

I am over in Taipei right now for the trade show here & thought I would share a couple random pics with you all.
In a parking lot full of scooters & the worlds tallest building, the Taipei 101.
Rhysty, myself, Niki, Ashoal & his girl friend. Also saw this sign warning not to pull cows horns or they may fart? haha.

13 year old Alex Hiam has been promoted up to the rankings of our pro team & is being graced with his very first international Colony advert.

Oh, by the way. We will finally have our team section of the website over hauled real soon too… been way over due on this one.

These days with the many Pivotal seats available on the market it’s kinda hard to come out with anything new or different. Well, we have done our bit to try to do something a little different & have come out with a coloured plastic base seat using the Pivotal patented technology. Check one out at a store near you now. Available in both Slim & Mid styles.

Ryan Guettler’s Official stem is still one of my favourite products we have put out since we started as a company a few years ago. I guess it’s just the mixture of it’s unique look, clean design, light weight & overall finish of the stem that I like so much. Many other riders out there must feel the same since our stem is one of the most popular stems on the market. Check one out at a store near you now & see what you think yourself.

Ryan just sent me a cool email about him going racing… what? Read on below.
I just got done with the ’09 Winter Nationals in Phoenix, AZ. I arrived back from Australia on Monday and Jerry Badders (Vans team manager) asked if I wanted to watch him race in Phoenix on the weekend and then fly to Greenville after.
I was down but as soon as I heard Nasty was going to race I wanted too also. Jerry got me a bike and full face and even went to Vans and got all matching long sleeves Tees. Jerry drove the Vans bus on Thursday and I stayed behind in Cali and rode Sheephills and got my berm and race sprints on then got a flight that night. On Friday we got to the race track, did a few starts but I soon realised I suck at gate starts. I was getting waxed by every man and his dog, even a little girl on a pink bike smoked me off the line!
Once I got going it was smooth racing though. Saturday might of been the funniest and fun day I’ve ever had. I never knew Nasty used to race and he is fast as, jumping the triples and easy won his class. My class was harder for me too win but I came through with a win and I’m pumped as.
Racing is super fun and I’m going to try and go to a lot more races. Thanks to every one who gave me pointers about gate starts and to Jerry, Vans shoes, Monster Energy and Mirra co for getting me a bike, helmet and loads of fun. Dig deep and pedal like you stole it hahahahha.

Our Russian team rider Oleg, (Bibu is his nickname) just sent me this cool web edit he put out recently. It has an artistic feel to it which is refreshing to see. Pretty cool stuff in there & good to see BMX is alive & well over there. Oleg also runs a really cool Russian BMX website, so if you can read Russian check it out here.

The guys over at NYRM have posted a cool promo video up on their blog. A pain the ass format to download but worth the hassle for sure.

Well worth checking it out by clicking here now.

Mick Bayzand is a street killer, there is no denying that fact. He takes more hard slams than almost anyone & still gets back up for more.
Mick rules & that one of the reasons we gave him his own signature bars late last year. Check them out in the new Bloody Black limited colour way below. These are available now while stocks last all over the planet.

Our Fantastic Plastic pedals are available now in all good BMX stores near you & have already started to be on many bike shops best sellers lists. We wanted to make a pedal that was light weight, inexpensive & have a good grip. I think we achieved it but make your own decision on that fact. Check them out at a store near you now.

Our Colonial cranks have been out for a while now & have been getting a bit of a following out there, partly due to their simple light weight design. Our cranks feature a 2.5 piece design utilising one bolt to hold them all together. Check out our products section for full details by clicking here.

Zac sent me a quick email to say he has been riding a bit of late but also his foot is still giving him troubles & he may go see a doctor about it, yes please do Zac !! He also sent me this cool little edit of him riding with some mates down in & around around Canberra. BMX how it should always be, fun. Worth a little look I say.
Also here are a couple of older pics of Zac from nahyouritemate courtesy of Nick Gascoine.

On the weekend we had the bush fire benefit jam at Beenleigh & it was a huge day. There were about 800 people hanging out & riding having a good time. Just over $2,500 was raised as well for the benefit which was amazing. Thanks to everyone that came out & supported the cause.
Here are some pics taken by a visiting bmxer from Italy, Fede. Thanks for the pics !!
