I am over in Taipei right now for the trade show here & thought I would share a couple random pics with you all.
In a parking lot full of scooters & the worlds tallest building, the Taipei 101.
Rhysty, myself, Niki, Ashoal & his girl friend. Also saw this sign warning not to pull cows horns or they may fart? haha.

Guettler took a bunch of product pics for me a few weeks ago. This is one of my favourites of them, it’s so very tempting to put a new bike together with all these new colours. All these parts & more are available at a store near you now.

13 year old Alex Hiam has been promoted up to the rankings of our pro team & is being graced with his very first international Colony advert. Expect to see this in magazines such as Ride BMX, 2020, Dig & Focalpoint. In the months ahead expect some more big news about Colony & Alex… more on that one later.
Oh, by the way. We will finally have our team section of the website over hauled real soon too… been way over due on this one.

These days with the many Pivotal seats available on the market it’s kinda hard to come out with anything new or different. Well, we have done our bit to try to do something a little different & have come out with a coloured plastic base seat using the Pivotal patented technology. Check one out at a store near you now. Available in both Slim & Mid styles.

Ryan Guettler’s Official stem is still one of my favourite products we have put out since we started as a company a few years ago. I guess it’s just the mixture of it’s unique look, clean design, light weight & overall finish of the stem that I like so much. Many other riders out there must feel the same since our stem is one of the most popular stems on the market. Check one out at a store near you now & see what you think yourself.

The guys at Unleaded have hooked up another rider in France with Colony recently, his name is Libellule. Check out the cool bike check video below with some really good riding on his Bloody Oath frame with Official forks & our Colonial cranks. Many thanks go out to Unleaded for hooking him up.

Ryan just sent me a cool email about him going racing… what? Read on below.
I just got done with the ’09 Winter Nationals in Phoenix, AZ. I arrived back from Australia on Monday and Jerry Badders (Vans team manager) asked if I wanted to watch him race in Phoenix on the weekend and then fly to Greenville after.
I was down but as soon as I heard Nasty was going to race I wanted too also. Jerry got me a bike and full face and even went to Vans and got all matching long sleeves Tees. Jerry drove the Vans bus on Thursday and I stayed behind in Cali and rode Sheephills and got my berm and race sprints on then got a flight that night. On Friday we got to the race track, did a few starts but I soon realised I suck at gate starts. I was getting waxed by every man and his dog, even a little girl on a pink bike smoked me off the line!
Once I got going it was smooth racing though. Saturday might of been the funniest and fun day I’ve ever had. I never knew Nasty used to race and he is fast as, jumping the triples and easy won his class. My class was harder for me too win but I came through with a win and I’m pumped as.
Racing is super fun and I’m going to try and go to a lot more races. Thanks to every one who gave me pointers about gate starts and to Jerry, Vans shoes, Monster Energy and Mirra co for getting me a bike, helmet and loads of fun. Dig deep and pedal like you stole it hahahahha.
Yo yo !!
