Last week I was lucky enough to go to Ohio Dreams camp and enjoy 4 days out there. The reason I went out was for the 3rd stop of the Recon tour, I’m a huge supporter of Recon because it’s one of the only good organized AM comps going on around America. These top AM are amazing and the future of bmx so I want to keep my eyes on things and help them when I can. I did two Guettler boot camps to help riders with runs and tricks and just have a good time, plus I announced the event on Saturday. While I was at the comp it was my Birthday so I rode the race track and trails all day and was one of the best days this year. If you want to check out the video of the event hit this link
Thanks guys, check out more of what I’m up to via ryanguettler.com
Stewart Munro just posted up Millar’s section from his Coppin’ It Sweet DVD online for all to check out again.
Another great event put on by the guys at Kill Em Distro who kill it for us up in Canada. It’s great to see a distro give back to BMX like they do.
Look out for a couple clips from our man, Brandon Van Dulken in the mix. Check it out !!

Hey Guys !!
The last week has flown by. Unfortunately I lost my licence, and have worked close to 40 hours this week at the Cafe. The bright side of the 10km ride to work is In 6 degrees early in the morning it really warms you up like nothing else. I am saving all my work money towards a huge next year to goto all the contests like Fise in france, Nass in england etc, It’s going to be bananas !!
It’s awesome to be back home riding close to everyday again. I have riden a bunch this week in-between work and feeling amazing on my bike. There’s a few videos over on my instagram @alexhiam
When Keith Treanor told me that Fuzzy Hall wanted to ride a Colony a few weeks back I was pretty stoked to say the least. We recently fired up a package with a The Living Frame & a Dagger Fork with some other goodies for Fuzzy through the great guys at 50/50 BMX. It’s pretty awesome to have a such a BMX legend riding a Colony. Thanks to Fuzzy himself, 50/50 BMX & Keith for making it all happen. Stoked !!

Hey guys, I just wrapped up the Killemall trip all around Alberta and northern B.C. Some of the spots and scenery we hit were mind blowing! 10 days on the road flew by and we managed a nice balance between riding/driving/chilling. Every time awesome trips like these happen it really reminds you how rad the BMX community is. New friends and memories. That’s what this shit’s all about!
Just like back in the day, there will be a relaxed session planned at Beenleigh for all to enjoy. Come along & have a great afternoon at Australia’s most iconic BMX park. So much history has gone down on this park. It should be a great day of riding & talking about BMX now & in the past.
So come along next Saturday from midday, the 26th of July, for a great day in the QLD sunshine.

DIY is something I am passionate about so when I see Nathan doing good things with Locals Only and then find out how much of it he is doing himself it only gets you more stoked on the brand. Dylan Pfohl put together this insight video into Locals Only which is a real good watch for all…
Our main man running the show for us in the states Keith Treanor, has been killing it in the office & on the bike of late. Somehow he finds time to get in plenty of sessions on a regular basis, including this backyard vert one with some legends. Here are a few words from the man himself…
Here’s a couple pics of Nathan Sykes riding Xavier Mendez’s vert ramp today shot by Randy Lawrence, the kid has some vert skills. Also attached is a sweet group pic mixing old & new school dudes like Brian Blyther, Nathan, Xavier Mendez, Andy Shohara, Randy Lawrence, Ben Snowden, Austin Coleman, Paul Nolan & Robert Castillo. Nathan also snapped a pic of my old ass! – Keith

A few words from Ryan Guettler for you all…
Today was really cool I was invited to go into Vans Warehouse and do some demos for the Kids who parents work at Vans. I really enjoy doing theses because I know how hard the guys and girls at Vans work, I bet their kids go home today thinking there Mum or Dad have the best job in the world.
I got to ride the demo on the Vans ramp in the back with Dak Roach and Caio De Oliveira Sousa who is staying at my house, Amazing kid from Brazil. Demos went amazing, every kid loves backflips and being bunny hopped over.
Every kid got some Vans shirts, pizza, ice cream, some hi fives and even a hand full of Colony stickers each…Good times.
On side note… Happy birthday to Ryan today who turns 31 years young today !! Hope you have a good one mate !!

Our Pinnacle (front) & Pintour (rear) wheel sets have been rolling out the door faster than we can build them since they’ve been launched.
Featuring our front specific Pinnacle Rim laced to our Wasp Front hub & our Pintour Rim in the rear laced to our very popular (& for good reason, they roll so fast & sound so good) Wasp Cassette Hub. They are available in either all Black or with Rainbow hubs.
Of course, you can also buy the rims & hubs seperately & build up your own custom wheel set.
Check them all out at Colony dealers around the planet right now.

The first half of Simon‘s Deja Vu dvd is now online which is great to see. flatland wizard with some crazy tech park moves. More to come…
Last update was from Woodward camp that I was riding at to be ready for the big ramps at dew tour in Ocean City over the past weekend. The course was amazing and it flowed well. I planned out a good run for qualifying but 1st run I crashed a double flip, 2nd run I did a whole 45 secs to just get my confidence up again but knew it would not be enough to get in, last run I cased right before the box and changed up my run and didn’t make finals. I happy with how I rode and now I’m back in Cali so time to move on and get ready for the next comps. This month I have vans bowl jam on the beach, recon tour and Ryan’s boot camp at Ohio dreams and the Vans block comp. Also having Andy buckworth staying with me so we are going to do a split monster edit.

Hey guys I’ve been spending a lot of time visiting my new born twin boys Stefan and Abel at the hospital they will be in for a few more weeks they are doing very good and getting healthier! I’ve also been riding and filming whenever I get a chance I have a new edit complete and ready to drop soon that I’ve been filming since the beginning of the year with Larry Alvarado so keep your eyes peeled for that!
After dropping Nathan‘s welcome video last week we thought it would be cool to make up a fresh desktop background for you guys. Thanks to Matt Cordova for this dialled shot of Mr Sykes. You can download the image right here and watch is latest video just below…
We wanted to start a video project featuring as much of the team as possible and with as much diversity possible. Here is the first of many Collective’s.
This one features Zac Miner, Paddy Gross, Dean Anderson, Ryan Guettler, Nathan Sykes, Jack Kelly, Mick Bayzand, Luke Parker, Justin Care, Clint Millar, Bobbie Altiser, Keith Treanor, Mike Brennan, Pete Radivo, Brandon Van Dulken and Ryan Winterbotham.
Marnold‘s section from Stu Munro’s video has found itself online and a good reminder of how good Marnold was/is.
Tom Stretton looks at most things in riding a little differently to the rest of us. His riding is rather unique & refreshing, he always has something cool to offer no matter what the session is going down on. This will be Tom’s second official signature colour way for our Contour Rims & we are very stoked on how they came out. Using the very tough water transfer hydro graphics process these rims look so good.
You will be able to add a little Tom Stretton flavour to your bike come late August / early September through all good Colony dealers worldwide.

Hey guys, last week Cooper came out and filmed a lot for my next Colony edit !! Had a really good time catching up with Cooper and stoked with the clips I got.
unfortunately I sprained my wrist when we were filming so I haven’t been able to ride this week!! Lucky I have a nice little Cafe to work at and save $ for when my wrist is better to ride again!!!!
These were a few left over clips we filmed whilst I was up in Brisbane…
