Jonny Devine video…

Prototype hub guard

I have been working on this one here for a little while & finally got the first samples the other day. I am very happy with how this first sample came out. Once I get a few of the guys riding it we will see if it works as well as it looks.

Basically, the guard will only fit our hubs & you take off the non-drive side cone nut & replace it with the guard. It acts as your cone nut & a hub guard all in one. This design takes away the need to spread your rear end to fit it all in. Nice & simple.

It’s CNC machined from 7075T6 alloy & will come in all our colours. Expect it out no earlier than August this year. We will let you know how they test over the coming months.

Rampfest tour video

On the last official night of our tour we were all pretty much wrecked form the weeks travelling & riding. So our Rampfest night turned into a bit of a chill time for us. All good though as Alex kept the flag flying & rode like a champion. Check out this little video that Bloodshed Productions made for Channel 31 in Melbourne. Enjoy.

We have a winner !!

For those that were down at the BMX Games the other week some of you may have noticed the Hell Stallion frame giveaway we had in the official BMX Games program booklet.

Basically you had to send in a pic of yourself with one of the Colony team members present at the games. We had many entries & some really cool emails to go along with them.

But the winner is… Chloe from the Gold Coast. She won not only because of her photo but also because of the cool email she sent along with it. Read on below…

“Hi, My names Chloe from the Gold Coast.

I want to win the frame because I love BMX, my partner rides, my brother rides and I want to start !!! All the boys at Helensvale skate park have been teaching me on their bikes !!!

I was going to ask Ryan to paper, scissors, rock me for a Colony Poker Set !! But we already one of those.”

Congrats Chloe & enjoy your new frame.

Shane Badman checks in…

Shane Badman sent in an email with a few pics of what he has bene up to of late. Read on below…

The harsh northern winters of Europe arn’t great for riding. Living in Sweden is awesome but with snow becoming an all too familiar sight & the temperature currently around -12C during the day sometimes you gotta make the big call. So 4 airports, 3 flights & 22 hours in the air later I landed back in Australia to warm summer weather & white sandy beaches. Word.

It was a great being back in Aus. Coming back to visit never leaves you with as much time as you’d like, but we were still able to get to Melbourne for a Jam that was put on by a bunch of the locals – big thanks goes out to Paul Chamberlain & crew for putting it all together. While in Melbs I also managed to hook up with world renowned photographer Chris Polack for a shoot. Getting the job done at Imax & down at St Kilda was great with an impromptu demo going down for the locals at the beach – look for upcoming shots in future issues of Rebelyell!

So I’m back in Sweden now riding in my warehouse that I have for the winter. I’m taking care of a few projects & also planning for some of this years trips – stay tuned for further updates!

Colony HQ, 2009… it begins.

Today Guettler, Ross D, Jasmine, Niki & myself started cleaning up the new warehouse/office. It was a pretty cool feeling to know that this place will be the hub for all things Colony over the years ahead. I am really excited about the changes ahead & I am looking forward to getting stuck into working on it all. Thanks to everyone that helped out today, really appreciated.

Home sweet home

Finally made it back last night into Brisbane. It really is a long drive from Melbourne to Brisbane no matter how many times I have done it before. It’s good to be back though & now all the hard work begins setting up the warehouse & moving forward with all things Colony.

To all the stores out there in Australia needing & waiting on product, it will be ready for despatch the week of February 9th. Many thanks for your patience & support in these new & exciting times for us.

On the road again…

Alex & myself are making our way back home to Brisbane after leaving Canberra this morning. It’s been a long day of driving & we stopped off at Forster to ride the park there. It was a chilled session & a great chance to stretch our legs. The park has a cool section made out of wooden logs which is a challenge to ride. Tomorrow we will hit up a couple more parks before arriving back home finally.
