Tom just shot over an update which made my day because we always talk about this photo and how it was the first time I saw him ride, I was blown away by all his cross footed moves. As Tom mentions, we are now good friends, travelled the world together and spent countless hours filming clips, all of which I hope continue to happen for years to come.

“Just found this old photo of me in an early FocalPoint magazine deep in my cupboard haha.

This was my first ever photo in a magazine. It’s pretty funny to think that Cooper Brownlee took this photo years before I even met him and now I get to call him a good friend and our team manager haha. Thanks for putting me in the magazine and not knowing my name, Coops haha.

Also the photo down the bottom is from out filming for an edit I’m working on. Been having a lot of fun. Thanks Kyle for the photo.

Now go ride your bike!!

Back in the day, way before Colony ever existed, Clint Millar had a few frames made under the name of Prody. This was back in 1993/1994 when it was pretty much impossible to get a frame that would not break in a few weeks. So him & another friend, Michael Canfield, enlisted the help of a local Brisbane based frame builder called G&J Cycles to make them the ideal frame. Hence the Prody Frame was born.

Built to withstand any punishment that could be thrown at them back then, they were robust. Till this day, not one ever cracked or broke. Only 4 frames were ever made so they were very limited.

Fast forward 20 or so years & we have here the all new Prody frame. It features that classic early ’90’s look but with all of today’s finer features like modern geometry, Mid BB & Integrated headset. These new frames are only about 200 grams heavier than our current frames now, not bad at all.

Both Clint Millar & Bobbie Altiser are amongst a select few riding these frames right now & so far feedback has been very favourable.

These limited frames will be made available come late April in the USA, Australia & the UK. They will be offered in Gloss Black, Chrome Plated & ED Red in sizes 19.0″ & 20.6″

Only 100 will be made & each will be numbered. Contact your favourite Colony Dealer now to pre-book yourself a piece of Australian BMX history.

Click here now for all info & spec details on these limited edition, soon to be collector’s edition frames.

Our New Zealand friend Liam Marshall visited Brisbane, Australia for weeks and Bevan Cowan was on hand to film a bunch of nice clips for us. Here is the video from his summer vacation.

We’ve got Ricky’s team page up, click here to read all about the young South Australian rider and Check the video below if you missed it last week when we posted it, you won’t be disappointed.

As with every year we are supporting the comp going down at city park in Melbourne over the Moomba festival this weekend. Head down on Sunday and hit it up.

From everyone at Colony we would like to extend our love to Jourdan and Katherine for there recent news…

“I just recently got married with my lovely wife Katherine Barba we had a amazing wedding and reception with family and friends. It rained a little bit on our big day but everything worked out perfect and I wouldn’t have it any other way! We’re also expecting Twins so I’m really excited for that !”

Focalpoint just dropped the 2nd instalment of the Into the City series which Cooper, Jack and Marnold all have some good footage in.

Yo yo !!

Mike Davies hooked us up with a few dialled shots from the Lynfield Jam over in New Zealand, it seems like it was a good time and that place looks real fun. You can check out more photos here.

Jourdan comes through with a fresh new video for his clothing hookup Index Ink. As you would expect there are some amazing spots in this and Jourdan treats them right.

We’re one of the few brands who still make forks with brake mounts these days, always have, always will.

To celebrate this fact we compiled a bunch of front brake clips from Clint, Polly & Bobbie. Some new, some older but all showing good use of the front brake. It’s something we feel very strongly about & will always offer within our product range. Forks with brake mounts are here to stay & we’re helping that one bike at a time. #colonybmxbrand #frontbrakebrethren

A few photos of the team guys that we’ve had sitting around of late.

Large railhop photo of Marnold that never got used for anything but I was hyped on it. The landing was so shitty for this hop with it being soft dirt in between plants and tree’s. The run up also had issues being such a tight cut in but Marnold got it sorted 2nd shot. You can download the image here to freshen up your desktop background.

Brazilian rider Andre Jesus just sent through a mid trip update…

I just came back from Simpel Session , I Got to nervous and almost made finals , I finished in 25th and only 24th qualified for the finals. I did my first Double backflip at a ramp and which made me really happy.

I am at Finland right now and these pictures that my friend Scott Conner were taken here before Simpel . Now I will try to hit up 3 more contests, two FISE’s and one a couple days before FISE in Montpellier.

Last year some of us headed over to Perth for the annual Mandurah Action Sports Games. Unfortunately Alex got hurt the day before but Dean still shredded the comp along with all the locals and other crew from out of town. It was a pretty wild comp that got crazier as the night went on. Here is the official video from the event.

The 2014 Games is actually on this month over March 15-16 and there is a solid amount of $$ up for grabs so grab some crew and get over to the west. Thanks to Jarvis and Freestyle Now for hooking it up.

Alex Hiam was the youngest ever pro rider to have his own signature frame back when the Sweet Tooth first came out. Now years later, he has turned 18 & is killing it on the bike more than ever. Alex is one of the most dialled riders I know out there pulling the hardest tech stuff first try usually, all while making it look so good.

His Sweet Tooth frame is exactly what he wants in a frame with the precise geometry he demands. If anyone knows Alex, he is very particular on how his bike runs & feels. His frame is offered in a range of sizes – 19.8″, 20.4″ (what Alex rides), 20.7″ & also 21.0″. They are offered in Matte Black & Dark Red along with a few selected limited edition frame, fork, stem & headset kits. The latest colour offered on these kits is Purple Storm, as shown below. Be fast though, as only 5 were made for the planet on these. Check them out at a Colony dealer near you now.

Zac has some great footage in this Bondi mix from the NYRM crew and John Young.

Ryan has been making the most of the cooler weather in California over the past few months. He has come through with a great video put together by Dylan Pfohl . Defintely hit the play button on this.

Hey guys, I just got back from Salton Sea 7 a festival of arts, music and destruction. Had a great time swimming in the aqueduct, off roading, visiting salvation mountain, setting stuff on fire and blowing things up daily. On the last day I had a badass session at the local “skatepark”. It was actually an old pool with DIY spots built in it. When I showed up there was a Hesher Band rocking out in the shallow while myself and a ton of awesome people had a great session. Nothing but good vibes from the locals.

Jack comes through with some more solid footage. This time in the form of a Dishonour Brand video. Check it out.

Chris has been running one of the 2015 Sweet Tooth frames for a couple months now so we thought it was time to put a bike check together.

In both the USA & Australia as of this week, you will see another batch of our ever popular Rainbow colour way CC Sprockets, Squareback Stems, Official Stems & our ever popular Wasp Hubs arrive. Act fast though, as these sold out in less than 24 hours last time.

Our Free Coaster Hubs will land in April worldwide as well as our very limited edition Contour Rims, which will only land in the USA, Australia, Canada, the UK, Germany & China. So jump on these early if you want some of them.

The Rainbow colour way will extend to a few more products come May, with Pivotal Seat Posts & our Gyro Plates being added to the mix.

Yo yo !!

A new plaza park opened up near Mycek‘s place in Poland so some of the crew went to work on it and came out with this video.

I just got back from a trip we took over to Adelaide with Mick, Tom, Chris and Luke. We were over there filming for a video in conjunction with the Elizabeth Riders committee which will be used for helping teach kids in school about BMX.

The trip was a blast and all the crew we hung with were real cool. Thanks to Dave Rubinich for hooking us up with these dialed photos.

Chris had a bunch of clips stacked from his travels over in the USA late last year. Packed full of good moves from California. Filmed by Ryan Guettler and put together by Chris.

Young gun Ricky Catanzariti out of Adelaide came through with this treat a few nights ago…

Our new Wasp Cassette Hubs are getting some serious attention & good reports from around the globe. Much can be attributed to their superior fast rolling & direct engagement system making for a great rear hub on any bike. We also have a Wasp Front Hub to match & will soon have a male axle version upgrade kit available.

You can get our Wasp Hubs in Black or our Rainbow finish for now with possible more colours to come later in the year. You can also get them laced up into a complete wheel with our Pinnacle Rims for the front & our Pintour Rims for the rear.

Check them out now here on our site or at a Colony dealer near you or your favourite mail order.

Yo yo !!

Hello everyone, hope all is well and you’re all healthy and having fun. I’ve been busy working 2 jobs, pick-pack-ship bike parts in a warehouse and taking care of the bmx section at our bike shop (The Outer Rim) trying my best to get Colony out there. Next to working I am riding as much as I can and also will start filming soon for another edit which will be a bit back in time because I recently put my front brakes back on and started doing tricks which I haven’t done for 15 years, sooo much fun and 95% of the people I ride with have no clue what I am doing haha.

The photo below is from a few months ago and I finally got the photo. I decided to flair the deep bowl at the Burnside park here in Portland at 8am and it’s been one of the gnarliest things I’ve ever done because the whole Burnside park is far away from being smooth and dialed since it was all shaped by hand.

Well that’s all for now. Thanks for reading, have fun riding, be original and take care of yourselves. -Paddy-

Thanks to Shad Johnson for the photo.

We have some 4 piece bars coming out later this year called Hardy Bars. They will compliment the Prody frames we have coming out soon but more on those later.

The Hardy Bars will feature a multi-butted post heat treated CrMo construction. They will have an 8.65″ ride with a 28″ width. 10.5 degrees back sweep with 2 degrees up sweep. A few guys on the team are running them now including Tom Stretton who is loving them.

Here are a few teaser shots of the bars for now. They will be out mid this year. By the way, it’s Hardy the puppy’s one year birthday today. Happy birthday little fella !!

Yo yo !!

Bruno has some good footage in this feature video from Soul BMX which is entirely filmed at night.

Stewart Munro, who filmed & edited our 2011 team DVD release, dropped his own full length DVD late last year called, Coppin’ It Sweet. It’s been out since October & he has started to drop some of the sections online for all to enjoy. The first one up is our own Clint Millar’s & here it is below.

I know Clint put in a lot of effort on this section & it has to feature some of the best riding he has ever done. Not bad for someone pushing 40 years old. It also has a cool intro with old footage & photos along with words from some legends like Ryan Nyquist, Dave Osato & Chad Degroot.

Sit back & enjoy some good old technical front brake ramp riding with a few world firsts thrown in the mix.
