Just got word from Alex that he broke his leg last night while riding. He is in hospital right now about to go into surgery. We wish him the best recovery & no doubt he will be back in no time. We will report more news once we have it.
Don’t forget someone will win a 2011 Teddy frame in our new colour Wasabi for eating the most wasabi tomorrow night. Make sure you’re there to witness this crazyness… who will step up to the plate? See you at LUX BMX at 7pm along with some of our team & a small range of 2011 teaser parts for sale.
Simon O’Brien put together this edit from left over footage from his feature film, DejaVu. Some bangers in here for sure & Simon also does some mini ramp trickery as well. A very good watch indeed. Look out for another edit in the next few weeks ahead.
Our flow rider from Sweden, Jens Kahstrom recently got himself a new truck in the way of a Chevy S10 & thought it would be cool to jump it in full ’80′s style. Check it out.
Broc Raiford scored his first photo in the latest Ride BMX magazine that just came out. Pretty awesome photo & we’re stoked for Broc. Broc will be attending our West Coast Cali roadtrip coming up after Interbike in a few weeks. Should be good times for sure.
We were approached by the people at Flick Trix last September about them wanting to do some Colony Flick Trix bikes. We were pretty stoked & work started right away to get them out there. Well almost a year later you can now get your own Colony Descendent as a Flick Trix toy. There will also be an Endeavour, a Cube & later on a Sweet Tooth bike available. Check them out at your nearest Flick Trix retailer now.
Note: These are not available through us here at Colony, sorry.
Well today went off without a hitch, everyone seemed to have a good time and the crew you see below were the top three after all was said and done! New flow rider Liam Zingbergs came in first along with Daniel Johnson (right) second and Macca (left) in third. Daniel Johnson also won best trick. Thanks to everyone who came out for the event and to everyone who made it possible. The next King of the Jibs will be in Brisbane on the 9th-10th of October later this year.
