Tom is such a delight to film with, sure his clips may sometimes take forever to get but standing out in the freezing cold late at night is well worth it when he comes through with something special. We collected some great footage for this video, most of which was on roadtrips throughout Australia enjoying the sunshine and the places we came across along the way.
Have a watch then watch again!
Valvo sent in an update from Brazil…
This week I’m out of São Paulo (my city). I decided going to Belo Horizonte-MG, for a little trip and make a visit to my friend André Delgado, He’s local and know’s all the spots. So good because after recovering from a hand injury he’s back in the game again.
Our Freecoaster Hubs are proving to be quite popular right now & will be back in full supply around the planet in the coming weeks ahead.
Available in RHD & LHD version with a male axle we also have our own specific hub guard to suit for the non-drive side as well. You will also be able to buy them in a pre-built wheel laced to our Contour Rims in the weeks ahead.
Check them out at a Colony dealer near you.

We’ve cooked up a couple nice photos for you to download for your desktop background. Brandon Van Dulken with a dialed 1 hand no foot can at Hill n Dale in Melbourne. Then we have Chris Courtenay 1 hand table at Woodgate park up in north Queensland. Download Brandon’s here and Chris’s here.
The current online advert that we are running via Focalpoint online. This photo of Brandon is from his Australian trip he came on recently at the Snakewoods trails in north Queensland. More info about the plastic pedals here.
Paddy shot through an update of the latest happenings over in portland…
G’Day everyone, hope you all are happy and healthy. Here’s a little something of what I’ve been up to in the last few months. I’ve recovered very well from my broken ankle and got the official OK from my surgeon to go ahead and do my thing with riding. I’ve had a good chance to do that on our Colony trip to Woodward and thanks again for having me there. So now back in Portland I am working in a bike shop, running the BMX section. I’ll be going to California in a few days to visit Clint, check out the new Colony distro and have a riding sesh with the guys down there. That’s pretty much it, thanks for reading, enjoy yourselves and stay healthy. Much love, Paddy.
Cooper is a man of many jobs within Colony & I would be lost without him. I am amazed at how he can do so much & do it all so well. On point with everything he does, this new Focalpoint video is no exception. Check it out & look out for clips from Marnold, Jack & even Coops himself.

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.
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.
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!
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.

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.
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!
One of my personal favourite sections from the 2011 Colony DVD. I’m sure many out there have the same opinion, enjoy.
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.
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.
Left over riding clips and crashes from the filming of
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!
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.

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.

We are off to Woodward West again for the video shootout. We will be there week 10 from the 4th to the 10th of August. If you are hitting it up that week make sure to come say hi to all the guys and grab some stickers off of us. Below is our video from last year which was an amazing week!
Marnold is a boss and went in hard for this web video. Enjoy the video then check out his signature Talon bars here.
Yesterday was another good day. We started out in Maryborough & hit up some local street spots which turned out well. Then made the drive to Woodgate but stopped off in Childers on the way to hit some rails.
I was really wanting to show the guys Woodgate though, one for the awesome ramp & also to see the kangaroos that are always hanging right by the ramp. The local wildlife did not let us down & both Jourdan & Brandon got to see their first ever kangaroos. Some good riding went down from Chris as well with some solid stuff going down in the last specks of day light.
Today we are in Gladstone & will be at M1 Cycles at 11am then the park in town at midday. Come & say g’day !!

Polly has been a big supported of Colony for a few years now and after flowing him some goods he came through with a creative 10 clips at one of his local parks, Mt Eliza.
For myself and Mick Bayzand, the trip starts tomorrow so look out in between Melbourne and Brisbane but for the shop stops and everything else this time next week will be hectic!
We shot this with Tom a couple of months ago but never ended up using it as the plan was to run it as a poster for his signature rims but we ended up using another shot when he had the rims on which made sense. The trick to me is unbelievable! Even the pedestrians were intrigued.
