Today we hit up a session at Ben Snowden’s backyard spot which was a blast, a chilled session that turned into a heated one for some. Thanks to Ben and the other locals who were welcoming. Here Ryan whips the street spine mid run and clipping up.
Today we headed to the Riverside area and hit up a few parks and sessioned with local crew. We snapped a few photos during the day…
The latest 2020 dropped a couple weeks back, this is the advert we rocked up front for the issue. Chris Courtenay was in his element at Woodgate park in north Quensland which you can also see and read more about in the issue.
More info about the Premise complete right here!
I arrived into California yesterday and straight up we headed out on a mission. We hit up a very special backyard spot and had a blast. Thanks to the Enarson family for the good times.

Attlia Godi from Hungary sent through this mixtape he put together recently of crew during the years of 2008-2010. I love video’s like this because it gives you a good insight into other scene’s from across the world. Some pretty rough crashes in the intro aswell.
Mycek always comes through with some great footage in his web video’s and this one is no exception. Filmed by Filip “Piastun” Malina. Aditional by Bartek Checinski , Mateusz “Usz” Kanownik , Mike Miller & Mack Back. Put together by Mycek himself. Poland has some spots!
From all reports Alex rode really well at the Vans US Open. Here are a few photos I grabbed from his Instagram that @brandonmeans shot.
Mick has some real solid footage in this mix with a bunch of the team guys from Strictly Bmx which is just located around the corner from this park, really enjoyed this.
As you may know Cooper also runs Focalpointbmx and prints our Colony t-shirts. Well he recently released a limited FP tee that are all one of a kinds because of the print process he uses to make them. While he was printing them he printed up one of each size with a Colony print so we teamed up to do this easy giveaway!
All you have to do is like the Focalpointbmx and Colony Facebook pages. That’s it! We will pick a winner for a tee next week sometime and come up with some other ways for you to win one of these very special t-shirts.

Hey Guys !!!
Just got back from “Tabes for the Babes” Tour to Tuscon, Arizona With a bunch of rad dudes. We broke down on the first night of the tour because the brakes failed, So we had to stay in a small town can san tee for two nights until the brakes were fixed on the RV… We were super lucky to find a nice enough mechanics to lend us a car for those two days for us to get around town.. After the brakes were fixed we were back on the road and made it safely to Arizona..
It was over 40+ Degree heat in Tucson and we were riding concrete parks all day everyday, It was exsaugthing but so fun.. Ian took us to shoot all his guns one day as-well which was so much fun !!!
The last day I rode Recon Tour At premise park, And ended up Placing 2nd in Open.. The comp was soo crazy there were over 30 riders in Open And everyone was riding so good !!! Finals was getting so intense and every one was throwing down bangers…
I Had the best time ever !!! Massive thanks to Ryan Guettler for taking all of us on this tour and a massive thanks to Premise Park and Ian !!!!
Also I shot a bunch of photos with the photographer from RIDEbmx and he is doing a 8 page story about the trip and the web video will be out soon!! I also just got invited to ride the Vans US open HB invitational comp on the 27th of this month!! Sooo happy and stoked.
Holding things down in Greece for us is Dark Riders. They have our full 2013 product ranges in stock & also throw support to the local riding scene. Here is a cool sequence of one of their riders that they flow Colony too, Vasilis Antoniou with a nice Luc-E to tooth grind. Hit up Dark Riders now for all your Colony needs in Greece.

So out of nowhere I got an email from Bobbie telling me he had filmed a ten clips. The next day I have a file ready for download and I just knew there would be some treats in it. Bobbie didn’t disappoint and continues his ever progressing and creative riding. Thanks to Dylan Crane for filming this.
I am pleased to announce to the BMX world some big news regarding us here at Colony BMX.
Starting from the 2014 season, so meaning from approx. September 1st this year, we will be switching up our distribution outlet in the USA. Sidewall will no longer be our distributor.
We will be doing something not yet done by any BMX brand in the industry & we will be opening our own distribution company in another country. Based in California, we will be handling exclusive distribution duties to all US based dealers. We are very excited about this progressive move forward.
What will this mean for the average rider out there? It will mean finally you will be able to get Colony products in all good US dealers country wide. No longer will our products be very hard to locate & purchase. It also means our products will be more affordable then ever before, something all riders will appreciate.
What will this mean for the US dealers out there? It will mean you will have good continuous supply, great service & strong back up support for all our products. Something we feel very strongly about.
We have none other than, legend Keith Treanor coming into the family to run things for us in the USA. Keith’s managing role will be handling all the duties associated with this new venture. To have someone like Keith involved is an amazing honour & we are really excited about it all.
Being that we will have an office in California, will also mean marketing wise you will see a much stronger presence of Colony out there. Finally we will be able to support our riders in the USA how we want too.
Full details will be released in the weeks ahead but expect to see a lot more of Colony in the months & years ahead in the USA. Thing’s are about to get real.
You can also read a short interview about it all over on The Come Up by clicking here now.

Out in late September in Canada, the USA & Australia, with other countries to follow in November, are our brand new Wasp Hubs. These have been in development for over a year now & we are really happy with the result.
These are designed to be extra fast rolling along with a louder cassette mechanism. Chris Courtenay & others have been testing them & are in love. Only available in female axle these are still great for peg use.

So pretty much as soon as Stu finished the 2011 Colony DVD he put everything he had into filming the Coppin’ it Sweet DVD which is now very close to being finished. Here is the trailer for the DVD which definitely has a good vibe to it and both Clint and Marnold have full sections so keep an eye out for it.
Chris Courtenay just placed 3rd in pro park at the Worlds in Cologne, Germany. Congrats mate !! Chris has been killing it of late & it’s great to see him do so well over there. He will soon jet back to Australia for a comp organised down in Melbourne. Then it’s off to the USA for the Colony week at Woodward West for the 2013 shootout video contest. Good times ahead !!

Well for me this trip has been a solid 4 weeks of filming and driving and although the past week has been from home it has still felt like a trip. In the very early hours of tomorrow morning both Brandon and Jourdan will be heading back home overseas and Tom headed back to Brisbane this evening. It’s been a blast and we got some really solid footage. Here are a couple photos from just before of the guys packing up and chilling watching all the footage from the past weeks.
