These few pics here pretty much sum up the weekend just gone up here. Zac killed the Botanical Gardens rail in the city with this over ice. Then smashed his face on a messed up gap to second stage tooth hanger on another rail. Everyone got pretty loose at Spinal Disorder. Way too much alcohol was drank over the weekend. Oh, and a little riding went down too. Good times.
Yo yo !!
See you there !!

Attila Godi our flow team rider from Hungary has been busy it seems. He just got back from a contest called The Pannonian Challenge. He said it was a blast & he had fun. Check the pics. Attila also met up with Shane Badman whilst there & we will have a little mini video interview with Attila in the coming weeks. Check back soon.

The guys at Ride On BMX put together Tom’s new bike this week & it looks shit hot. Teddy frame, Teddy Bars, Official Forks & Colonial Cranks all in our Silver Storm colour way with Black Colony parts. Check it out below. All these & the rest of our 2010 ranges will be available in Australia & the USA in 3 weeks & the rest of the world shortly after.
Tom is starting work on his first web edit for Colony this weekend, expect it to drop over the next few weeks.
Thanks to Steve at Ride On for the pics.

Henrique Castro, otherwise known by many as Valvoline, had some pics taken recently by Colin Mackay & we will be creating his team page in the next few days. Valvoline is our team member for Brazil & lives with Guettler in Greenville when in the US. Check back in the next few days for his team bio.

Tom Stretton dropped by the office yesterday to do some shopping in the warehouse for his new bike. Tom chose a new 2010 Teddy frame in Silver Storm with all Silver Storm & Black parts to suit. We will have a full bike check once Tom has it all built up in the next few days.
Once again, welcome to the team mate & I am stoked to have you as a part of the Colony family.

Shane sent in an email on what’s been going on with him. Read on below…
After spending nearly a year in Sweden it was time to get moving. It’s been well over 3 years now since i’ve been living in Europe & i’m starting to lose track of the countries that i’ve visited & lived in. Never forget the riders that i’ve met, nor the riding sessions that i’ve had though… funny how some things stick in your mind?!
I’m in Hungary at the moment just chilling & riding as much as I can. Living in Sweden was great, but winters that last 6 months & very few riders make it tough for any nomadic BMXer. Hungary is awesome for riding. The weather rocks 9 months of the year & all the riders are super motivated – probably a reason I’ve been here every year since 2005. I’ve been staying with one of my good mates, Andras Pentek, who co-owns OG Bike Company. In between him running the business & their shop, we’ve been hitting up spots all over the country including the OG Summer Camp & Contest in Szombathely & visiting riders in a bunch of different cities.
I’ve got another week of riding here & then off to the sunny UK for more riding… stay tuned!

Available in the next 4 weeks is our first range of fitted caps. Shown here is the Liam Fahy-Hampton signature ‘LFH’ version & we will release pics of the ‘Logo’ version soon.
Yo yo !!
