2009… what a year

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Looking back it’s been a huge year for Colony. Firstly, we went independent which was a huge move but one that had to be done. We had a full brand re-vamp with an all new logo & overall look. Cooper Brownlee came on board as the art director & then more recently as our team manager, photographer & as a pro team rider. We launched many new products like our LFH grip, Clone rims & wheel sets & all new frames just to name a few. Mick Bayzand came back home from a few years in Canada. I got married. Tim Wood had a baby boy. Matt King had a baby girl. Alex Hiam became the world’s youngest pro rider with his own signature frame. The team punched out a good amount of web videos & we did a huge tour around south eastern Australia.

None of this would have been possible without all your support out there. So to everyone that has bought one of our products, came out to ride with us, watched a web video or was just simply down for what we’re about – thank you.

Wishing everyone out there the best 2010 possible !!

Memorial Jam…

On January 20th there will be a memorial jam for Blake Butterfield in Kempsey, NSW. If you’re in the area or looking for an excuse for a roadtrip, make yourself to it for some fun. It’s all for a good cause too with all proceeds raised going to the Weastmead Children’s Hospital.

Product highlight – Focalpoint X Colony seat

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

It’s fitting that our first collaboration with an Australian brand would be with Focalpoint BMX. I am stoked that Cooper was down with the idea & even more stoked on what he came up with design wise. Get them while they last as there were only 250 seats made & they are going fast. Click here now for more info.
