With many thanks to our distributor in Poland, BMX Forever, we would like to welcome to the flow team Michal Mycek. Check out some pics of his new Bloody Oath below & the quick video of him riding an indoor park in his city, Wroclaw. It’s raining all the time over there right now so not much chance to ride outside.
Mick sent me a cool email with a bunch of random pics. It’s snowing over there in Vancouver right now & he seems to be enjoying it as well. He also sent me the first pics of his prototype Teddy frame as well, looking good. Mick also moved into a new house complete with a resident cat named, Millar. Awesome.

Another amazing web edit from Liam Fahy-Hampton, this time with his long time supporter, Backbone BMX. The last clip is a banger for sure.

Check this out from 1991, top left is myself while top right is Ryan Guettler.
This was at the FlatAmp Comp Series held at Nunawading & featured in the August/September issue of BMX National. I ended up winning 16 years flatland & Masters flatland while getting 3rd in 16 years ramp while Ryan won the 14 & under ramp class at a mere age of 8 years old.
Thanks to Matt Holmes from 2020 BMX magazine for the bringing back the cool memories that seem so long ago.

The other day I picked myself up a copy of Epic Invasion while I was at Ride On BMX. I forgot that I even bought it after the Corona’s at Steve’s shop & today I got around to watching it for the first time. I was rather impressed & gotta say it lived up to the hype around it. Troy did a great job on the overall DVD & was stoked to see Zac Miner’s killer section & even an appearance from Alex Hiam. Stoked. Do yourself a favour & pick yourself up a copy now, you wont be disappointed.

Our 2009 model Bloody Oath frame has been out for a few months now & it’s much improved over the 2008 model. It’s lighter, stronger & refined.

The other night we had a poker night at Toby Mathews’ house with one of the new poker sets we have out now. Toby even had a cool table made with felt complete with a Colony logo. It was a fun night except that I was the second to be out in the game & then had to watch all night, I suck at poker. In the end, it came down to Matt King & Toby Mathews, with Toby taking the win & the $400 pot. Matt scored himself the poker kit we played on. Good times.

Jonny sent me a little update from over in the UK today & it seems he had a little mishap with his ankle… see the pic below. He will be back on the bike in no time but still looks rather painful. The weather has gone to shit over there as Jonny put it & said that it’s all just indoor park riding right now. All good though as he has a few to choose from which he will be back riding soon enough. Jonny also just put our new Colonial Cranks & Teddy Bars on his bike from Alans BMX & loves them. Thanks Jonny!
