Hey guys, so happy to be riding again. Steadily getting the knee stronger and stronger and putting more trust in it. Full summer mode over here! Beautiful weather, ton of babes and the amazing Vancouver spots. Good times.
Here’s a shot from Vanier bike park today I’m pretty stoked on. Shot by Amos Franke with my gear.
Alex Hiam’s latest version of his ever popular Sweet Tooth Frame is the most refined version yet. It has the exact geometry that Alex’s demands for his high level riding these days.
Available in an array of sizes including 19.8″, 20.4″, 20.7″ & also 21″ we offer a size that is sure to suit you as well. The 19.8″ version especially is perfect for smaller riders out there who want a high performance frame but in a size that’s easy to ride & great to progress with.
In fact, many riders out there are choosing Alex’s frame of late. You would also be surprised to know of the high profile riders out there, with other frame sponsors, that also ride a Sweet Tooth disguised as something else.
Check them out at a Colony dealer near you worldwide now.
Yo yo !!
When Jourdan visited Australia for a few weeks last year he went in on a bunch of spots then we finished up the video with clips from the USA. Thanks to Larry Alvarado for filming a few of the clips. Enjoy…
Earlier in the week we were looking into parks to ride in the San Diego area and this park popped up via Google which caught our eye. It happened to be a bike only night that night so we hit it up and there was only 2 other people there. The Esondido park was super fun and no doubt we will be heading back many more times. Here are a few quick shots from the session.
A huge thank you to all those that came out to the East County BMX jam yesterday, it was an awesome day. It’s great to see BMX thriving in the San Diego area with everyone having a great time with an awesome vibe.
A huge thanks to Henry at East County, you are the man. Big thanks to Sean Yarroll for organising the grind boxes, thanks to the East County staff for holding down the BBQ duties & running the shop for everyone. Thanks to Keith Treanor for his his hard work & dedication to all that we do. Thanks to all my team guys that took the time to come down, you guys rule.
But most of all, thanks to all the riders that turned up to ride & hang with the team, we appreciate your support. Long live BMX !!
Yo yo !!
From everyone at Colony we would like to extend our love to Jourdan and Katherine for there recent news…
“I just recently got married with my lovely wife Katherine Barba we had a amazing wedding and reception with family and friends. It rained a little bit on our big day but everything worked out perfect and I wouldn’t have it any other way! We’re also expecting Twins so I’m really excited for that !”
Large railhop photo of Marnold that never got used for anything but I was hyped on it. The landing was so shitty for this hop with it being soft dirt in between plants and tree’s. The run up also had issues being such a tight cut in but Marnold got it sorted 2nd shot. You can download the image here to freshen up your desktop background.
Ryan recently set up a fresh new bike and came through with some solid photos to document it all.
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.
Yo yo !!
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 !!
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.
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.
Our buddy Polly just dropped this dialed video of him riding a few of his local parks, reppin’ Sealy’s Cycles which is where he works out in Frankston, Victoria. Props to Aidan Rice for filming and editing this.
We are so happy with how these Official Stems, Square Back Stems and CC Sprockets came out. They are available in the USA right now, Australia next week and the rest of the world early January. These are limited edition so get in quick for a treat.
Pretty sure Tom pulled this off camera and we thought we were going to cop the deadly camera curse but it actually didn’t take that long to get. Some local guy just chillin’ in his car was so hyped on it, as if he’d never seen anyone coast on the front wheel before. I guess that would be pretty amazing to an outsider.
If you are anywhere near Tampa, Florida in the USA next weekend be sure to get down to the Skatepark of Tampa for the 5th annual Spot Roast Jam which we are helping support.
We’ve been sitting on this video for a little while now and I am stoked to finally have it out. Brandon really went hard when he visited Australia for a month which is where a good chunk of these clips came from. Dude hits anything that is put in front of him. Thanks to Shawn Duffield for the Canada footage. This video and 17 others just like it are available on our free dvd that is available through all Colony stockists worldwide.
As we posted the other day, Ricky is getting some flow from us for killing it on a bike over in Adelaide. Then the next day he drops a random web video he filmed over the past month or so, killing it.
We’ve got all the parts goodness packed into one catalogue right here! Everything from Colony in the range that is available right now across the world. We’ve also included some solid riding images from the team so make sure you hit the flipbook below for a good read.
A while ago Matt from Little Black Bike was telling me about this new kid down in Adelaide who was showing some good promise of being a possible rider for us here at Colony. We started to flow Ricky Catanzariti some product through the shop & now he has progressed into an official flow team member. We are stoked to have him on board & the fact Little Black Bike are down with him speaks words for us. Look out for more from Ricky in the new year, the kid is going to make some noise. We are stoked to have him in the family.

I can’t wait for Chris Courtenay‘s next web video to drop in a couple weeks (which is also in our free dvd). This invert is a good example of what to expect from it.
So we’ve been hard at work putting together a DVD maxed out with our favourite web videos form the past year. The DVD includes 4 videos that have not yet made it online from Chris Courtenay, Clint Millar, Brandon Van Dulken and something special from Tom and Bobbie. The DVD is free and will be available from all Colony stockists in the coming days/weeks depending on where you live so hit up your local shop or mailorder while stocks last!
Check the trailer we put together for the DVD below…
We are getting behind the jam that Riding Way are putting on down at the HillnDale box jump park in Melbourne on the 15th of December. Get down there for some good times and a free feed.
Grimaldo over in new Jersey at Legends Bike shop just dropped this nice video of his son Georgie who is rocking a Colony Sweet Tooth and killing it.
Thanks to Tristan Montagu we have a fresh new Peta Shepherd video to show. Peta is currently recovering from a broken collarbone but was able to finish up her latest edit. Also a special shoutout to Primary Threads for helping Peta out with some freshness
A few of us headed to the Dane Searls trails jam in Canberra yesterday. It was a dialed session with everyone getting crazy on the jumps. A few people came un stuck including Bayzand but I think all that did would still be stoked that they were apart of the day. I know Luke Parker was doing these cannonball’s.
Through Local BMX in Fremantle, WA we have started to help out David Pinelli with some Colony flow. David is also helped by the guys at Freestyle Now in WA who perform demos all over the country & basically do good things for BMX in this country. Check out his new 2014 Sweet Tooth below along with some action shots.
Thanks to both Local BMX & Freestyle Now for helping out David. We’re stoked to be able to do so as well.
Yo yo !!
So stoked to have this out, Ryan put in some solid work for this and it was a real pleasure to work with him on this. So much diversity.
