Prototype hub guard

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

I have been working on this one here for a little while & finally got the first samples the other day. I am very happy with how this first sample came out. Once I get a few of the guys riding it we will see if it works as well as it looks.

Basically, the guard will only fit our hubs & you take off the non-drive side cone nut & replace it with the guard. It acts as your cone nut & a hub guard all in one. This design takes away the need to spread your rear end to fit it all in. Nice & simple.

It’s CNC machined from 7075T6 alloy & will come in all our colours. Expect it out no earlier than August this year. We will let you know how they test over the coming months.

Wanna buy a vert ramp?

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

Then hit up Tim Wood for his smaller one. It’s for sale & 24 ft wide, 12 ft high, 10.5 ft tranny with 16 ft of flat. It’s metal construction & can be yours for $8,000 cash if you take it way yourself or for $15,000 Tim will deliver & set it up for you if you live near Brisbane. Quite the bargain. Hit Tim up on 0403 325 433 if you are serious & want to get it before it’s gone.

Tim Wood sent me this photo at the infamous fullpipe down south. He wrote this quick note with the pic…

Hi Clint….this was me last week!!! Messed me up in the end though. I tried to flair it 3x times with not much success, ha ha. Cheers, Tim.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately but have been flat out setting up the new distribution centre for Colony in Australia the last week. Shops across Australia can expect their backorders for Colony gear to be shipped next week. So riders around the country can rejoice soon. Thanks for everyone’s support with this new era for Colony, I appreciate it.

The Vans/Colony Whip 2 Ryan Guettler signature shoe is available now at major BMX shops in Australia. We are so very stoked to have teamed up with Vans on this project & are very happy with the final product. Make sure you go check these limited edition bad boys out soon & get yourself a piece of BMX history.

Ed note: For shops out there that want to stock these shoes you will need to contact Vans directly in your country, sorry we do not sell these shoes here at Colony.

Rampfest tour video

Friday, February 6th, 2009

On the last official night of our tour we were all pretty much wrecked form the weeks travelling & riding. So our Rampfest night turned into a bit of a chill time for us. All good though as Alex kept the flag flying & rode like a champion. Check out this little video that Bloodshed Productions made for Channel 31 in Melbourne. Enjoy.

We have a winner !!

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

For those that were down at the BMX Games the other week some of you may have noticed the Hell Stallion frame giveaway we had in the official BMX Games program booklet.

Basically you had to send in a pic of yourself with one of the Colony team members present at the games. We had many entries & some really cool emails to go along with them.

But the winner is… Chloe from the Gold Coast. She won not only because of her photo but also because of the cool email she sent along with it. Read on below…

“Hi, My names Chloe from the Gold Coast.

I want to win the frame because I love BMX, my partner rides, my brother rides and I want to start !!! All the boys at Helensvale skate park have been teaching me on their bikes !!!

I was going to ask Ryan to paper, scissors, rock me for a Colony Poker Set !! But we already one of those.”

Congrats Chloe & enjoy your new frame.
