Split Enz were right when they sang that song back in the ’80′s. Check here for proof. Thanks to Christian for the fine edit. haha.

Oh yeah… we also make some damn fine (if I don’t say so myself) parts available now in Red all over the planet.

Cooper Brownlee does an amazing job with his baby, Focalpoint Magazine & now it’s available online for all to enjoy all over the world. Click here for your online fix. 

For those those don’t know Coop’s work it’s an underground magazine that covers all aspects of BMX in Australia & we here at Colony support it 110%. We have the back page advert for life & am very proud of this fact. Focalpoint is limited to just 2,500 copies per issue & the fact that they are totally FREE is a credit to Cooper’s passion for BMX. Cooper rules.

Our backpage advert in Focalpoint. Fuck yeah Kenny.

I just got done putting together a new frame, and I gotta say that it looks pretty amazing. I get helped out by this awesome burger chain over called burgerfuel, they’re totally into the sweet shit in life, like muscle cars, hot chicks, and huge feeds, and since I’m vegetarian they make the best fuckin vege bugers ever! suits me to a tee pretty much.

Anyways, a while ago we came up with a sweet idea to get an Oath frame, and do something a little bit different, a few weeks later and this bad ass colour job is the result. They have a fleet of classic cars over here which they use for promo vehicles all over the country, and they all have the same paintjob, so we thought why not get a frame done up as well. add in a couple of new parts from shadow and Colony, and she’s good to go, if my frame was a brand new guitar, thats what I’d look like playing it, bbrreeee wheeee eeeee, skkeerrreeee!!!! get all Jimi Hendrix on that shit!. Also, our friend Justin from redbull rounded a few of us up the other day and hit the road with the hummer, he has a sweet blog going and there’s a couple of pics from our lil adventure on it, peep it here.

Peta Shepherd just put together a 2008 MVP frame in 20.75. She wanted something a little longer than her Sect 20.5 which was actually one of the original prototypes that we ever had made.

Soon this frame along with all our 2008 frames will be available worldwide. 

Thanks for everyones support out there & waiting patiently, we appreciate it.

We received the final version of the Hell Stallion forks yesterday & we’re totally happy with how they came out. Liam will soon be smashing the shit out of these proving that they will indeed live up to their lifetime warranty.  

Liam’s forks have a 30mm offset making it that little bit easier for nose wheelies. They also feature tapered legs with straight guage tubing for strength. You will also find street ready 6mm drop outs with weight saving CNC detail. Add all this up with an impressive weight of only 870grams (1.91lbs) & you have a pair of forks capable of standing up to Liam’s abuse.

They will be available firstly in kit form, along with the Hell Stallion frame, Official stem & our own headset in June/July or you can get them seperately in August/September. Liam Fahy-Hampton fans everywhere rejoice!

Check this press release taken from the Alans BMX blogspot.

At a time when there are so many similar products out there, we really like Colony because a/ the stuff works and b/ Clint has tried hard to do things differently. We previously had a lot of success with Colony when Shindig did it and it would of been a real shame if it wasn’t represented in the UK. We are stoked with this partnership with Colony and plan on supporting it fully with a team and promotion. While we plan on primarily supplying Colony thru our alansbmx.com website, subject to costs and margins we would be happy to supply a small number of similar-minded dealers, interested parties can call or email us at sales@alansbmx.com

So anyways, over on Zombie Mike’s site, there’s a whole bunch of pics from what is probably one of NZ’s most best kept secrets…Just this big alleyway of giant walls, myself, Mr Mike and The Wazman went up there the other weekend and buzzed out like crazy for a few hours, then we went and got as drunk as skunks. We like drinking Heineken mini kegs and Jim Beam’s on the beach in front of the womens public toilets. ha, fun friggin times! Got some more funny and/or interesting news in the next few days, ha! and it will involve drinking booze and bikes.

After many months of having no source for Colony in the UK we have hooked up a deal with Alans BMX to become the main place to get Colony from in the future.

For all you riders out there hanging for some Colony products you will soon be able to get direct from Alans. They will receive their first 2008 order including our long awaited frames in about 6-8 weeks.

We would like to thank everyone for their patience & appreciate your support for Colony.

I’m heading to Melbourne this weekend to ride with Liam and film with Dan Gascoine, should be fun. Got invited to the Redbull downhill dirt halfpipe comp in Mount Beauty at the end of May…. That’s goin to be a massive event so I’m really keen on that. Also to everyone keen on having a rad time… on the 7th of June I’m holding a jam at Weston Creek to celebrate my birthday. There’s going to be subs, rails, boxjumps etc. It’s gunna be awesome and it would be sweet to see some northern shredders come down. Anyways, I’m goin for a ride, talk soon. Zac.

Pete recently went over to China for a comp over there held in Shenzen, in the south of China. It’s held at a theme park every few years where they have a park set up all year for demos.
I was there a few years ago & it’s plenty of fun. Pete rode well enough for 7th with Mark Webb from the UK winning the comp. Seems Pete got up to his favourite past time & got in some serious drinking time while there. 

  
Yo yo !!
