Alex Hiam update
Hey guys,
I just got back from a week in Phuket – Thailand with my sister. My sister & her Boyfriend originally planned to goto one of our close friends wedding in Thailand but unfortunately my sisters boyfriend couldn’t make it.. So like a boss he offered to pay for my flights to thailand to spend with my sister and celebrate our friends wedding. I couldn’t believe it & when I first got to Phuket it was mind blowing. All the scenery and beaches were just like I have seen on postcards.
The people are so nice and genuine there and really make you feel special. It was a crazy experience for me to see how 3rd world countries live. It really makes you grateful for what you have back home. It was cool how cheap everything is over there, for example $5 aud a day to hire mopeds :O !! I loved the food also, so cheap but so tasty and amazing.
The week went so fast because everyday we had something cool planned. One day we got to go out on a Private boat and party and cruise around all the islands around Phuket.
I have attatched Loads of pics of my trip – I hope you get to goto thailand one day, it’s beautiful ..
I am back in Brisbane now and my wrist is all healed up and can’t wait to ride again….

Zac Miner update
Hey guys, I just recently went over on a weeks trip to New Zealand with some girlfriends of mine for their birthday. The trip was pretty good, NZ is amazing! Traveling around with three girls, not so amazing! After one forgot her current passport, losing one of their phones and keys to the apartment and crashing the campervan we had, it really put a downer on the trip. Mind you the country is sick, the people are lovely, I’m definitely going back some time soon and having a proper ride.
My biggest advice I can give anyone, make sure you get travel insurance if your traveling anywhere with women ha.
Ryan Guettler update
Last update was from Woodward camp that I was riding at to be ready for the big ramps at dew tour in Ocean City over the past weekend. The course was amazing and it flowed well. I planned out a good run for qualifying but 1st run I crashed a double flip, 2nd run I did a whole 45 secs to just get my confidence up again but knew it would not be enough to get in, last run I cased right before the box and changed up my run and didn’t make finals. I happy with how I rode and now I’m back in Cali so time to move on and get ready for the next comps. This month I have vans bowl jam on the beach, recon tour and Ryan’s boot camp at Ohio dreams and the Vans block comp. Also having Andy buckworth staying with me so we are going to do a split monster edit.

Product update – Tom Stretton Leopard print Contour Rims
Tom Stretton looks at most things in riding a little differently to the rest of us. His riding is rather unique & refreshing, he always has something cool to offer no matter what the session is going down on. This will be Tom’s second official signature colour way for our Contour Rims & we are very stoked on how they came out. Using the very tough water transfer hydro graphics process these rims look so good.
You will be able to add a little Tom Stretton flavour to your bike come late August / early September through all good Colony dealers worldwide.

Hey guys, last week Cooper came out and filmed a lot for my next Colony edit !! Had a really good time catching up with Cooper and stoked with the clips I got.

These were a few left over clips we filmed whilst I was up in Brisbane…

Product highlight – Contour Rims in Chrome
It’s been a while since I have ran chrome rims but I am so stoked to be doing so again. For me with front & back brakes, it makes the whole braking experience so much better. Plus it gives my Prody frame that little bit of mid school feel. You can now grab our Contour Rims in chrome plate at all good Colony dealers worldwide.
Yo yo !!

Tom Stretton update
Recently I have been working quite a bit. Along with being sick for a week or so it has made it quite difficult to ride my bike.
I’m still so pumped on how my bike feels everytime I jump on it lately. I built a new Miner frame up and it’s just amazing. Also stoked on my wheels that I think will be out later in the year so keep an eye out for those.
Anyway go ride your bike this weekend and have some fun! I know I’m going to. Until
Nex time errrebody.
