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.

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 !!

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.

Coops recently released his own portfolio site showcasing the work he does. He tells me it’s in the early stages of content but it’s already looking great and has plenty of images of the team in the mix. You can see it all here.

Yo yo !!

Over winter last year Jack spent some time hitting up his local indoor park, each week we would film a few clips until we had enough solids for this video. Besides this place being super slippery it’s real fun, I just wish they would fix the floor.

Some of the crew will be in Adelaide this weekend. Friday evening we will be sessioning the city park from around 7.30pm. Due to unforeseen circumstances we weren’t able to do the BBQ at Little Black Bike before hand but still come down for a shred!

Hay guys, just wanted to fill you in on what’s been going on.

Big things are happening with Colony working with the talented Cooper Brownlee sorting out 2015 color ways and new stickers, big changes on my frame in 2015!!! This week I have Cartoon Network’s HALL OF GAME AWARDS by SHAQ were I’ll be presenting an award. It’s the first kid certified, adrenaline filled celebration of all things sports also I’ve been working a lot with Hookit and their amateur comp series, last year I followed the tour in my RV announcing some of the stops and this year I’ll be doing all the stops announcing Am’s again and have helped set up the pro contest which will be on the Sundays. I’m also looking into Ryan’s Boot camp, which will be a 2 day event all over the USA teaching kids tricks with other pro. More on that later..

Last week I got the chance to ride in the Nitro Circus demo in Anaheim Stadium it was so much fun and im so amazed on the riders in that show it blow my mind. The first comp of 2014 for me will be Maddogs comp in the Kitchen March 22nd so I have some time to get ready. The cool thing about getting ready for comps is pushing yourself so I’ve been filming the tricks along the way so keep your eyes open for edits to start dropping very soon just waiting to find a good song. Tabesforthebabes is still happening this year in the RV. Just waiting for the weather to pick up as it’s winter right now.

If you want to follow every thing ill be doing FOLLOW @ryanguettler on IG.

We would like to officially welcome Chris Bracamonte to the Colony family. Chris is an amazing rider and an equally good person from San Fernando valley north of LA. When the opportunity came up to help out Chris we knew we had to take it. We will be working with Chris over the coming months filming for a web video and no doubt some more projects! Thanks to Tyler Fujii for the shot.

Our boy Shuhei from Japan came through with a cool 10 clips filmed at one of his local parks. Thanks to for the footage.

Hey guys, the other weekend I made the trip over to Sydney for the first stop of the DownUnderGround Flatland Series for 2014. The series has been going for a few years now and it was awesome to see the turnout with so many riders throwing down in all 3 classes. I managed to get second place in Pro which I was super stoked on!

There’s a full writeup on the DownUnderGround weekend over at BMX Flatland Australia and a few pics and whatnot on my instagram @shanebadman.

Clint, Alex, Tom and Zac are in Melbourne right now for a special filming project but today we spent the afternoon riding Luke Parker‘s local of Lilydale. Luke killed it along with all the locals even though it was super hot.

This Sunday, hit up Camberwell park in Melbourne for a jam along with other entertainment. We’ve got behind the event and it will no doubt be a good day.

Our main man from Hungary Attila Godi shot through and update with this photo of him ice grinding a long ledge at his local park. Dealing with the winters as good as he can. Attila will be in Barcelona in May so that will be a treat no doubt.

Our Fantastic Plastic Pedals have been around a good number of years now & have proven the test of time. Offering excellent grip, great feel & a good strong body, are just some of the reasons you will find them on many riders bikes today. They also come with a variety of coloured spindles to offer that little something different. Check them out at a Colony Dealer near you now.

Yo yo !!

We just got Andre Jesus‘s team page sorted, you can read more about the Brazilian rider right here.

Thanks to Raenshop for the hook up of this Andrew Ayukhaev video from over in Russia. Kills it.

Hey Guys, Andre Jesus from Brazil here, want to say a little about what’s popping with me. I went to ride at Ceu Aricanduva- São Paulo, Brazil few days before I travel, it’s a small and fun park with spine, volcano…

Right now I changed the Hot summer from Brazil and I’m living at Tallinn,Estonia, just got here few days ago, my Girlfriend lives here and I will stay here for few months, riding Baltic Games in Poland in few days and later this month riding on the amazing Simple Session, and also checking out some others contests here in Europe.

Jack has been going in real hard of late filming for his next Colony video. Here are a few photos from last week whilst we were out.

Jack’s video from last year…

Ryan recently set up a fresh new bike and came through with some solid photos to document it all.

Alex put together this video of footage filmed last year that hasn’t made the cut for his next full length but trust me there is some really good stuff in there…

Our lovely friends Killemall (and distro for Colony over in Canada) put on a trails jam under a brisge as it’s the middle of winter and if you’ve ever been to Canada you know its cold and wet so it’s pretty awesome that this was able to happen. Brandon features all the way through the video.

Mick has some good lines throughout this video Kym Grosser put together of them riding their local park.

Larry Alverado came through with a bangin’ mixtape of crew from the West Coast in the USA and Jourdan stacked a few nice clips in the mix…

California Capers Street Mix – More BMX Videos

My main man, Cooper Brownlee has an in-depth interview over on TCU which is well worth a read.

I for one always find it amazing how Cooper finds the time to punch out solid video sections when it counts with the work load he takes on. I tip my hat off to you Coops, you’re the man. Thanks for all your hard work & dedication to all that we do.

Click here now to read his interview.

For anyone in Melbourne, we are getting behind the showing of the iconic BMX movie which no doubt introduced many people into riding including myself so to see it being played at the Rooftop Cinema in Melbourne will be a treat! Head over to our Instragram to see how you could possibly score a double pass to the event.

Spotted this great photo of Jourdan in a photo gallery from Wes McGrath over on the Albion website. Check all the photos right here.

Simon O’Brien sent in a quick update on what he has been up too of late…

Been riding a bit and filming…have a new edit out soon. Recently started a facebook athlete page for a bit of fun. My holidays are nearly up and then back to work. Here is bit of an old pic but I like it. Thanks – Simon.

Simon will also be at today’s DownUnderGround as well, so if you can, get yourself along for a good day with the countries best flatlanders.
