Polly shot through an update from the holiday season…

“Christmas was a crazy one at the bike shop last year (Sealy’s Cycles) so over that period of time I didn’t get much riding in, but with the new year that just rolled in and the good weather kicking off down in Melbourne I’ve been back on it a heap after work which has been really, really good!! Here’s a couple snaps from my after work sessions!! ……Also last year big time, big money pro rockstar bmx pro, Dave Dillewaard started following me on instagram which is one of the best things that has happened to me in my life.”

Michal Mycek our rider in Poland, teamed up with the guys at Ave BMX to bring you this cool take on a bike check. Some good moves in there with a chilled vibe, check it out. Filmed & edited by Mateusz Kanownik

Next Saturday, on the 18th of January is the first round of the DownUnderGround Flatland Series for 2014. Being held in Sydney it should be a good central event. Word has it that our Shane Badman & Simon O’Brien will be attending.

The organisers would like to make a point of letting everyone know, that all riders are welcome, especially those that are not actual “flat landers” themselves. It will be a great day to hone in those bike controls skills, like hang fives & nose wheelies that are all so integral to modern day BMX riding.

So get yourself along for an awesome day with some of the best flatland riders in the country, should be good times for sure. We are once again proud to support these events & must thank Freestyle Now for organising them as always & for 2020 Magazine for their continued support for series as well.

Luke Parker shot through an update from his time off work…

“Hey guys, I did plenty of riding over Christmas at the skateparks just working on a few new little things. I went back to work Monday so I’ve been getting them late night sessions in and destroying myself trying to learn grind combos on a flat rail!”

We recently changed up the rubber compound that we use on our Much Room Grips making them more durable yet still soft to touch. So far everyone seems really happy with the new compound. They are available in a wide variety of colours as well. Check them out at a Colony dealer near you now.

A few months ago Tom and Bobbie spent some time in the USA and during that time they came up with the idea of shooting a doubles video together. As you can see their riding styles gel well together so we knew it was going to be a treat! This was a lot of fun to shoot so hopefully that shines through in the video.

Make sure you are following us on Instagram, all the team has the login so you will see plenty of different posts including sneak peek new products and giveaways @colonybmxbrand

Perth based show team, Freestyle Now are over on the east coast in QLD doing some demos for this week in Morayfield. You will be able to watch our team riders, Alex Hiam, Chris Courtenay & David Pinelli shred it up on a 6 foot mini ramp inside the Morayfield shopping centre. Click here for more details.

Marnold and I just got back from a quick 2 day trip up in north Victoria in searched for fresh spots. We came up on a few good things so it was worth the trip. Thanks to our buddy Tenna for the accommodation and Daniel Johnson for slinging us this first shot.

Looking for a more affordable rim that can still withstand today’s riding? Then perhaps take a closer look at our Pinnacle Rims & Pintour Rims. Both are more affordable rims using pinned technology rather than the more labour intensive welded join. Check them out in the aero style Pinnacle Rim or the Pintour Rim which mimics our Contour Rims. Available now worldwide.

Spotted this amazing nac photo of Luke Parker over on the Focalpoint website from a jam we supported late last year in Melbourne. More photos can be seen here.

Thanks to everyone out there for your awesome support during 2013. It’s been a great year for Colony & we look forward to what 2014 will bring us all. So from all of us here at Colony, thanks & may 2014 be a great one for you all.

Yo yo !!

For any crew in the QLD/NSW area set aside the 26th of January for a good days riding down at Kempsey for a great cause which we are getting behind as per every year.

Our friends at Ave BMX in Poland do really good things for the BMX scene there & they compiled this video of their highlights for 2013. Enjoy !!

Yo yo !!

Incase you missed it, we posted the 2014 parts catalogue a few weeks back which is stacked full of some sold riding shots aswell.

Millar and Glen teamed up a few months ago to film a session in his backyard on his 39th birthday. Being 39 and still progressing is pretty damn impressive and motivational in my eyes.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone out there a very merry christmas & a great start to the new year ahead. Thanks for all your support through out the past year & all our past years. 2014 is set to be a great one & looking forward to what is ahead for us all.

We helped support the Hill n Dale jam that went down in Melbourne 2 weeks ago and Focalpoint just posted some great shots from the day. Luke Parker and Pete Radivo get in the mix. You can view all the images right here.

Yo yo !!

Our buddy Shawn Duffield over in Canada who shoots photos and footage of Brandon for us just had a photo feature over on The Northern Embassy which has a bunch of great photos including a few of Brandon, check it out.

This pool Jourdan took us was seriously in the best location ever! As you can see from the photo’s it was a sunset chasers dream. Oh yeah the pool was amazing also.

We are having a little giveaway over the weekend via our Instagram. Make sure you are following us (@colonybmxbrand) then just repost this image and the #colonyfreebies and we will pick 4 winners on Monday and post them out.

We helped support this TCU trip that Jourdan went on recently up to Arizona. All the guys killed it and the vibe of this edit is real cool. Put together by Nate Richter.

Pottstown, Pennsylvania resident Justin Care is the newest addition to the family over in the USA. Justin has been doing good things for a few years now with his parts sponsor Merritt and we wanted to help him out with a few things aswell to keep his bike rolling nice and smooth.

I can’t wait to work with Justin on some more projects in the future so been on the lookout for things to come from this kid. His team page will be up very soon. Thanks to @ryanscottphoto for the photo.

Brand new Chris Courtenay video to start your day off! The majority of this was filmed on a trip between Sydney and North Queensland over 3 weeks along with some footage from Chris’s recent time in the USA.

Zac recently set up a fresh new bike so we spent some time with him in Canberra and shot this feature showcasing his ride.

A couple weeks ago we announced that we were helping out Perth based rider David Pineli. Well today Bret Trigg was cool enough to shoot over this video he made of David for Enough Threads. David kills it with some crazy dipped 3 style and a deep bag of tricks.

Yesterday afternoon in Melbourne we helped put on a jam at the Hill n Dale box jumps. It was a great turnout and the weather was pretty perfect. Seeing so many crew come out and have a good time together was a treat. Thanks to everyone that came out along with Riding Way and Input BMX for doing their bit.

Here are a few photos from the day.

For anyone in Melbourne today, from 4pm we are helping out with the jam at Hill n Dale with the free BBQ for all the crew. Head down for a shred and goodtimes with everyone.

I just spotted this over on the Vital BMX website where it looks like Sacramento rider Mike Donnelly picked up the 1 off fluro The Living frame kits that Dans Comp had over there. There is still a Teddy, Sweet Tooth and Miner frame up for grabs all of which only 1 of each went to the USA (only 4 in the world of each). If you are in the USA hit here for more info.
