Haimona Ngata, our man in Auckland, New Zealand is shown below repping Colony as always. Ho, as we all know him, is a living legend in the NZ riding scene, whether he likes it or not.

I remember the first time I ever met him was in Brisbane in 1999. He was there with a good selection of my favourite New Zealand riders for the Planet X Gaymes. I remember him & Shoe-G from Japan getting on top of the wall ride on the street course after the finals swinging their male apendages around. I also kinda recall drinking a bottle of Black Sambucca on my back porch while talking about mowing the lawn in my Hoffman Boks shoes, haha. Priceless. Ho rules.

Thanks to Mike from Zombie BMX for the photo. Check out his website HERE.

Yo yo !!

Ryan sent me a pic of the upgrades he is doing on his already cool backyard set-up in Greenville, NC. Can’t wait too see the finished product. Should make for some really fun backyard sessions. Check back in the next weeks for pics of the finished ramp. 

Yo yo ! 

Yo… Mick Bayzand is in Brisbane for the first time in almost ten years. He is staying at my place & we will be hitting up what B-town has to offer in the way of street, parks & what not. Should be a good week. Look out for a possible web video from the weeks adventures. In fact, were off to start filming this afternoon.

Yo yo !! 

There is a cool BMX store called 20Twenty located in Aberdeen, Scotland ran by a rider by the name of Mike Ellington. Mike carries an extensive range of Colony products & we appreciate his support. Mike also hooks up local rider Lewis Watson with Colony with the help of Shindig Distributions.

I visited the store back in 2004 & Mike let myself & James Hitchcox stay at his place for the night. If you’re ever in the area drop in and say G’Day (or what ever they say up there? Maybe I should’ve asked Scottish John for what they say up there?)

An upcoming advert in DIG Mag for Mikes store.

Yeah Lewis is pretty good on his bike.

Yo yo !!

I have known Kenny for around 12 years now & he can still manage to impress me with his riding abilities. Take this 360 table for instance… I love this shot. Thanks to Steve Morrisey for the pic by the way.

This is our latest advert that you will see in the latest issue of Ride as well as future issues of DIG, 2020 BMX & Focalpoint magazines. So go out now & buy an Endeavor complete bike & reward yourself with one of the best value complete bikes out there today.

James Steele, our flow team rider from Canada, sent me an email recently about what he has been up to of late dealing with the Canadian winter. Read on…  

I’ve just been working and riding as much as I can. The weather here is pretty bad right now. We’ve got about 2 and a half feet of snow on the ground right now and it’s not looking like it’s going anywhere fast.

So I’ve been riding the few indoor parks that we’ve got around here, which has been OK. Not the most fun thing to do that’s for sure. Can’t wait for some nice weather. I did get a photo shot that is OK. It’s indoors so its nothing I’m too stoked on, either way I’ll send it along with this email.

Other then that, not to much new happening over here. I just got some flights booked up for May. I’m gonna be going to Vancouver for a month and a bit to chill and ride. So I’ve got something to look forward too! – James. 

Yo yo !! 

… Others say just well designed BMX parts that meet & exceed todays riders demands.Like our Transformer Levers for instance.

Or perhaps the Official Stem.

What about the Official Forks? 

Even our Headsets are considered a desirable part to any bike. 

Ryan’s sprocket has been refered to as one of the best looking sprockets out today.

Yo yo !!

Steve just sent me some cools pics of him riding his new Bloody Oath he has just put together. Looks pretty good & as always Steve can certainly ride it rather well. Steve fucking rules.
