Marnold out in it.
With Troy Charlesworth in Melbourne, Marnold came out to film a few clips with him for the 2020 dvd. We came up on this spot which was such an amazing rail setup, for anyone that searches schools you would most likely come across dream rails at the end of school buildings with no run up, well on this occasion we just got lucky.
Product Highlight – Colony Freecoaster
Our very popular freecoaster has been out for a few months now and they are seriously dope! I am still running the original prototype from 18 months ago and it’s going strong. We made this how-to video a couple months back on how to adjust the slack of the hubs so we hope it helps anyone out there wondering how to do so.
Filming with JK
Jack Kelly spent the evening filming with Troy Charlesworth for his soon to be released 2020 dvd. I can tell you first hand this is going to be a great watch!
Shuhei Max Azuma video
This was a nice treat this morning as I opened my emails. Shuhei who rides for us in Japan just dropped this web video via the local Addiction crew. Shuhei has alot of creativity when he rides and it’s web videos like this that make me want to get off the computer and out there for a session.
Valvo is the man…
Valvo is the man in Brazil. He is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet & a gun on a bike. Check out his latest edit filmed in Brazil by Felipe Correa. Stoked on this one.
Dream BMX in Brazil hold things down for us down there & are BMX through & through. Much love as always to Marcelo & Andre.
Yo yo !!
A day with Chris Courtenay
Whilst in California Chris hooked up with JC Pieri for the day and came through with a stupid amount of good footage.
Out with Dean Anderson
Yesterday afternoon I met up with Dean to film some clips for his next web video. Things were going good up until he crashed hard on a flip tuck to bars and got knocked out. So glad Dean wears a helmet, no doubt he will be back in no time but damn it was rough at the time.
Product highlight – 2014 Inception
The 2014 Inception has been freshened up & made more affordable than ever now. Designed for the smaller riders out there or for those that prefer a responsive & agile geometry, it is ready to shred right out of the box.
Featuring a 20.3″ top tube length with a 13.5″ rear end it shares similar geometry to Alex Hiam’s Sweet Tooth frames. It features Alex’s signature seat/post combo as well & only comes in the same Dark Red colour as per Alex’s 2014 Sweet Tooth frame (out in October).
Check out the 2014 Inception at your local dealer in Australia now. Other countries will receive their’s from October onwards.
Yo yo !!
Peta Shepherd update
From Peta‘s Instagram I knew she was up to something…
I haven’t been getting out on the bike as much as I’d like, because right now I’m training for a triathlon at the end of September. But managed to get a rad ride in at Millar’s backyard on the weekend. Best mini ramp ever by the way. Thanks to Jesse for the photos.
Canadian Concrete
We got behind this years Canadian Concrete and from all reports it was a dope series with a great turnout of riders and supporters. Looking forward to more!
Marnold update
I met up with Marnold yesterday afternoon (as you would know if you are following Colony on Insta) at a local spot we’ve been building at over the past year or so and grabbed a few photos while we were at it. Spring is here so the goodtimes are rolling.
Tom Stretton – Colony DVD
One of my personal favourite sections from the 2011 Colony DVD. I’m sure many out there have the same opinion, enjoy.
Guettler has been busy…
Ryan Guettler shot through an update on what he has been up too of late…
I’ve been very busy the last 2 months and have a huge month ahead of me. Over August I’ve done the Vans HB bowl comp, Colony Woodward week, Mongoose Woodward east comp and now just finished the Vans ECSC comp. I’ve been progressing and getting better results as the events have been going on. The Mongoose comp was really cool & we got good results in dirt with our team ending up getting 2nd place.
Then this past weekend I went to Norfolk VB to compete in the Vans ECSC comp and came home with 3rd place. Really happy how the comp went and against that field of riders I can’t complain.
Now I have a week off so I’ll be working on new tricks and filming a lot for upcoming videos. Then of to Mexico City for a big comp Sept 6th.
Yo yo !!
Attila Godi’s setup
Attila sent through this photo of his fresh new setup from over in Hungary. Looks the goods.
Tom Stretton update
Tom just shot through an update from the latest happenings…
“I went on a trip up down through Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne not long ago and it was unbelievable. Met the most amazing people and had the best time riding with the crew. Thanks so much to everyone we met and as always thanks to Cooper for constantly putting his neck out for us.
For the last month or so I have been staying in Brisbane city solo and just trying to ride as much as I can and definitely partying haha. Pretty much each weekend my best mate Shane Batchler has been staying with me and we have been running a muck haha. For those of you who don’t know who Shane is, he is pretty much the godfather of the tailwhip and all things liquor based. Learn yo shit hahah.
I’m currently working on an edit and a few other things which I hope everyone will enjoy. I don’t get the chance to film much so we will see what happens. Keep an eye out.
Until next time, peace!
Oh and follow me on instagram hahaaaaa @tom_stretton it’s just basically photos of my dog, the sun or stupid situations I get myself into.”
Brandon Van Dulken checks in
It seems Brandon has really got the travel bug as all this year he has been trekking all over the country and world. Here is the latest on his most recent trip.
“Hope all is well guys, I just got back from an awesome little roady in the states for a bmx/skate festival. Back home now and all healed up, time to clock some clips! Real psyched on what’s going on right now.”
Thanks so much to Shawn Duffied for the photo. Do yourself a favour and follow both Brandon (@brandonvandulken) and Shawn on Instagram.
2014 Colony Premise video
With the 2014 Premise complete being out for a couple of weeks here in Australia and it landing across the globe in the coming weeks we thought it was a good time to drop this video showcasing everything about the bikes along with riding footage of Alex Hiam, Marnold, Chris Courtenay, Jourdan Barba, Brandon Van Dulken, Peta Shepherd, Jack Kelly, Paddy Gross, Tom Stretton and Mick Bayzand killing it! You can get more info about the Premise here.
Stas Shatilo
Over in Russia we flow Stas some product and the guys just sent over this video of him smashing out some solid moves. Bars to nose to manual bars in was real cool.
