Crossley Cycles in Manly, QLD are one of the OG BMX shops of Australia. They have been strong in BMX since 1988 & have not slowed down at all. In fact, recently they have launched their own online store where you can see all their products & purchase them online. They can send your orders to anywhere in Australia & even overseas as well.

Of course you can always visit them in person as well for expert advise & service. Plus they sponsor Alex Hiam so you know they know what’s up in BMX.

Check them out on their website for more details.

This Saturday there is a BMX comp in Muswellbrook & we have supported the event with a bunch of Colony prizes. Should be a good day for all involved.

Yo yo !!

The Frankston area is not only fortunate enough to have some really good parks but they are also very lucky to have the one and only Polly, he is one hell of a character. He works hard at one of the local shops, Peninsula Star Cycles. Polly is now also riding a Colony set up which we are pretty stoked about.

The guys have a great stock of our complete bikes and parts, so if you’re ever out in that area of Victoria make sure to pop in and say hi.

We are supporting The Last Jam to go down at the East Shore park in Lansing, NY. It’s unfortunately closing down after 4 years at the end of April though. But they are going out with a bang with one last jam on this Saturday the 21st of April.

Yo yo !!

There is a jam set for this Sunday at the awesome Woden park down in Canberra. It’s pretty much Zac Miner’s local park & he will be there having a roll around. He will also have a few goodies for giveaway’s with him to give out to anyone who he see shredding the park. So get yourself there for a great day on the bike & for a chance to grab some Colony goodies for your troubles.

Yo yo !!

Ryan Guettler’s signature complete bike, The Living is ready to shred almost anything right out of the box. Featuring some great parts including Ryan’s own pro model signature frame & our Contour rims for starters it’s a bike you know will handle what ever you (or Ryan) can throw at it. Check one out at a Colony dealer near you now.

After a month off his bike from destroying his hand in Canberra Mick is back on it, although his hand is not 100% we took a day trip to Geelong yesterday to film and Mick seem to get straight back into the swing of things. He will have a web video coming out over the next couple of months which I am excited about!

Border Bikes are down in Tweed Heads South on the NSW/QLD border & they carry a good range of our products. Go check them out & if Darren doesn’t have what you need he can certainly order it on for you no worries.

Yo yo !!

Cooper features in the new advert that we placed in the current issue of 2020. Cooper has a web video coming out next week which he has been filming for the past few months so keep an eye out for that one.

You can check out Cooper’s signature Twenty Four Seven Bars at a dealer near you now.

How cool is this? The guys at Backbone BMX did an online easter egg hunt, where you had to find easter eggs hidden in amongst their product photos on their website. The lucky winner was not sure what they would win for doing so but hey presto! Brain Nguyen is now the very proud owner of a limited edition 2012 Colony Miner Frame, Fork & Stem kit. Now that’s pretty damn cool if you ask me. Well done to the guys at Backbone BMX & thanks for the support as always. Enjoy the new ride Brian !!

Simon O’Brien is always keeping busy. Here are some quick words from the man himself…

Recently I did a demo for cancer charity, ‘relay for life’. It was good to see a lot of people doing their part for the charity.
I did a demo and donated DejaVu DVD’s for sale with fund going to the cause and gave out some stickers.

In other Simon news, we recently made him a very special one off DejaVu frame, fork & bars in GOLD ED plated. We did it just a thank you for his hard work with us over the years. Expect to see Simon flaunting this new bling in the months ahead.

You can buy Simon’s DejaVu ranges & all our flatland ranges from fine flatland retailers like Flatland Fuel & Newcircle right now.

Yo yo !!

On the 22nd of April is the 1st round of the 2012 Core Series & we have once again got behind the event. This first one is set for Morayfield & should be a good one as always.

Yo yo !!

Our 2012 Descendant complete bikes along with our entire 2012 complete ranges are available now in dealers around the world.

So I spent the Easter long weekend up in Canberra filming Zac. Like I said in a previous post things were going well and overall we got some good stuff filmed. Zac took it hard on a hanger down a serious rail and I got taken out on a feeble on the last day but none the less the trip was super fun and we got a few clips. I did forget to bring the outside layer of my tent though but thanks to Zac and Amber we got a tarp setup going on and it worked out well! See you next time Canberra!

Focalpoint #26 is now online for all to enjoy. Check out the feature story on our trip to Adelaide in December of you have not had a chance to do so yet. Below is the video from that same trip if you missed it or feel like watching it again.

I am pretty stoked myself to have another fellow front brake rider on the team. Bobbie always have a fresh approach with his riding which is always welcome. He is moving to Long Beach in the next few weeks so there should be a lot more of his riding getting seen very soon. We will also have a full bike check in the next few days, so check back for that soon.
