Hey guys just a little update to let y’all know I’ve been out an about lately.. Despite it being around the 5 to 10 degree mark at best for the last few weeks we’ve been out riding some spots. I’ve got a new bike to which I’m over the moon about and it’s made me stoked to ride.
Besides that me the mrs have been busy traveling a bit, been up to the Blue Mountains abseiling and stuff. Just been trying to keep motivated in this weather. But better then being stuck in the house. Can’t wait for some warmer weather!

Jourdan really came through on this video. Unique spots and creative lines had me wanting more the entire time. Shoutout to Larry Alvarado for putting this together it was a banger…

Hey guys. Just checking in to say what’s up. Lately I have been trying to be busy with work and just ride when I can. We are still filming when we can but it’s not that easy. Still, things are coming along. Cooper Brownlee is coming up so visit with two more of my favorite people next week, Zac Miner and Mick Bayzand, so I’ll be riding and clipping with them hopefully.

If you see any of us out, make sure you come say hello. They are always down for a chat and a roll. Also, my leopard rims should be coming out real soon. Here is a photo to drool over haha. So stoked on how these came out.

Jourdan and Larry have some clips in this promo for Stacked BMX Shop which is Larry’s project in Riverside CA. The guys stock Colony so get down there and give them some love.

Hey guys!

I have some bad news & some good news. Bad news is My MRI results have come back & its confirmed I need surgery on my wrist. It has cartilage damage, so there doing keyhole and fixing it all up! I have a appointment on the 14th with a surgeon on the 14th of August to set a date for surgery. So until then it’s a waiting game !

The good news is my dad has me covered under private health! That means I save $5000 on hospital/surgeon costs for my wrist. When I turned 18 he told me he stopped paying my private so I got my own normal health and the doctor said my insurance wouldn’t cover anything. So he defiantly saved my ass! Thanks dad, very lucky! Lesson learnt – always have private health, it can save ya loads $ !!

I have been loosing my mind not being able to ride, but I have had a lot of hours at the cafe I work at, loving the barista life!! I also have been out exploring a lot spending some time with my canon 600D getting into photography. It’s super fun. I’m at the gym everyday keeping active.

Keep up to date with me over on Instagram @alexhiam. Thanks a lot !!! Can not wait to be back on my bike.

We were stoked to be apart of the CDN CNCRT over in Canada again this year. Brandon actually ended up winning the comp side of things but from the looks of this video everyone got down and shredded the fun looking park. Shoutout to KEA for putting on great events in Canada.

Hey guys, I am making the move back to my hometown for the winter. Vancouver has helped me out so much with riding/growing as a human, along with meeting sooo many awesome people. I will surely be back next spring!

For the last little bit I’ve just been trying to sneak in as much riding as I can before I leave, hitting the Killemall Canadian Concrete jams and venturing around the city. Here’s a shot from Shawn Duffield in a 2 foot ditch the other day. Spot is real fun and hard to ride.

We have been flowing Victor some parts for a little while now through Epic Bmx and he was good enough to send over some real nice shots that Bryan Decker took. Those trails look amazing…

Last week I was lucky enough to go to Ohio Dreams camp and enjoy 4 days out there. The reason I went out was for the 3rd stop of the Recon tour, I’m a huge supporter of Recon because it’s one of the only good organized AM comps going on around America. These top AM are amazing and the future of bmx so I want to keep my eyes on things and help them when I can. I did two Guettler boot camps to help riders with runs and tricks and just have a good time, plus I announced the event on Saturday. While I was at the comp it was my Birthday so I rode the race track and trails all day and was one of the best days this year. If you want to check out the video of the event hit this link

Thanks guys, check out more of what I’m up to via ryanguettler.com

The Back In The Day BMX Jam is on tomorrow from midday at Beenleigh. See you there !!

Yo yo !!

I spent the day hanging out with Polly and Liam earlier this week as Liam was over from New Zealand on a riding holiday. We hit up a few parks and spots in freezing conditions but the rain stayed away so all in all it was a good day…

Quick video showcasing Ryan Guettler‘s signature Official Stem, You can get more info about the stem here. The Official Stem is available worldwide in a variety of colours.

Thanks to B0NNAZ for the track.

Stewart Munro just posted up Millar’s section from his Coppin’ It Sweet DVD online for all to check out again.

Just thought I would check in quickly and let you know what’s been going on with me. I have been out filming for a new edit as much as I can (weather permitting) which has been very on and off here in Melbs. Also keep an eye out for a little plaza video in the works.

Another great event put on by the guys at Kill Em Distro who kill it for us up in Canada. It’s great to see a distro give back to BMX like they do.

Look out for a couple clips from our man, Brandon Van Dulken in the mix. Check it out !!

Yo yo !!

Hey Guys !!

The last week has flown by. Unfortunately I lost my licence, and have worked close to 40 hours this week at the Cafe. The bright side of the 10km ride to work is In 6 degrees early in the morning it really warms you up like nothing else. I am saving all my work money towards a huge next year to goto all the contests like Fise in france, Nass in england etc, It’s going to be bananas !!

It’s awesome to be back home riding close to everyday again. I have riden a bunch this week in-between work and feeling amazing on my bike. There’s a few videos over on my instagram @alexhiam

We are supporting the Flatland Fracas happening this week over in Massachusetts on July 20th so be sure to hit it up if you are in the area.

When Keith Treanor told me that Fuzzy Hall wanted to ride a Colony a few weeks back I was pretty stoked to say the least. We recently fired up a package with a The Living Frame & a Dagger Fork with some other goodies for Fuzzy through the great guys at 50/50 BMX. It’s pretty awesome to have a such a BMX legend riding a Colony. Thanks to Fuzzy himself, 50/50 BMX & Keith for making it all happen. Stoked !!

Yo yo !!

Hey guys, I just wrapped up the Killemall trip all around Alberta and northern B.C. Some of the spots and scenery we hit were mind blowing! 10 days on the road flew by and we managed a nice balance between riding/driving/chilling. Every time awesome trips like these happen it really reminds you how rad the BMX community is. New friends and memories. That’s what this shit’s all about!

Just like back in the day, there will be a relaxed session planned at Beenleigh for all to enjoy. Come along & have a great afternoon at Australia’s most iconic BMX park. So much history has gone down on this park. It should be a great day of riding & talking about BMX now & in the past.

So come along next Saturday from midday, the 26th of July, for a great day in the QLD sunshine.

Yo yo !!
