Alex Hiam is a little ripper & it made perfect sense for us to give him his own signature frame that was suited to someone smaller like himself. The Sweet Tooth is a scaled down kids sized frame that is perfect for the younger riders out there, it seems to work for Alex rather well.

Today we stopped in at Backbone and checked out the new store. We then had a fun session at Woden park, hopefully it doesn’t rain tomorrow!
We’re on the road again heading our way down from Brisbane to Sydney then Canberra & some of guys making their way back down to Melbourne. On the road we have Liam Fahy-Hampton, Mick Bayzand, Alex Hiam, Nick Richardson, Tom Stretton, Chris Courtenay, Cooper Brownlee & myself. We have also got Stewart Munro along to capture the video moments.
Come along to the Above All grand opening on Saturday too… should be a blast. Click here for all the details.

We went out the other night and hit up the new indoor park up here in Brisbane, Ramp Attak which was a bit of fun, Alex Hiam and Chris Courtenay seemed to enjoy it…
Alex has been clocking some footage whilst out on usual shred missions over the past couple of months, with thanks to his mates that he rides with they filmed up this this edit we got going on…
Not too sure when this was made but must be at least 3 years old now back when Alex was around 11-12 years old. Enjoy. Spotted over on the Crossley Cycles website.

Alex Hiam dropped by the office the other day & looked right at home in the bosses chair. Who know’s one day hey?
Yo yo !!
Riders from Colony are confirmed as Alex Hiam, Zac Miner, Mick Bayzand & myself. See you there !!

One week from today is the Stephan Dark memorial jam in Orange, make sure you get yourself there for some fun times. Rumour has it that both Ryan Guettler & Nick Richardson may now also be attending… so make sure you say what’s up to them both & don’t forget Alex Hiam will be there as well.
It’s also good to see heaps of industry support on this one too. Make sure you support those that support the local scenes around the country. Without them, events like this could not be as good as they are.

Bought to you by Strictly BMX with support from ourselves, is a new approach to a BMX comp. The Us vs Them format puts two teams of 8 riders going head to head for a winner takes all prize pool. This invite only comp is set for March 6th in Melbourne & will be an interesting one to watch no doubt. Riders from Colony that will be competing will be Alex Hiam, Ryan Guettler, Mick Bayzand & Zac Miner. See you there.

Alex Hiam scored the cover of a local newspaper, the Wynnum Herald. You can click here to read the story which talks about his riding & the King Of Dirt comp coming up on the 21st February. You can also get the latest news for the KOD on their myspace & Facebook.

Alex Hiam sent over some photos of his Sweet Tooth infront of a rad wall!
Wow, this is the 1001st news post since our site has been live since July 2007, crazy. Alex, Zac & Ryan all have a few clips in a mix section put together by Stewart up on Vital. Check it out & celebrate this little mile stone of our site. Word. By the way, Zac is in town at the moment as well. Hopefully it clears up so we can get some riding in.

Alex Hiam, Nick Richardson, Tom Stretton & myself all went down to Shane Conlon’s comp at his local on the weekend & it was a really fun time. Shane organised the event to raise awareness of the fact that Coffs Harbour needs it’s own ramp park, as it is well behind other regions in the area.
Alex ended up killing it & got 2nd place & $500 for his efforts while Shane ended up winning, showing he really is unbeatable on his home turf. A big shout out must go to Shane for all his efforts in organising the weekend.
We also rode a local full pipe which was a bit of fun & got up to plenty of party antics during the night. Good times in general.
Yo yo !!
Alex dropped by the office yesterday & picked up a new bike. Silver Storm Sweet Tooth frame, Phantom forks, Bloody Oath V2 bars & a Focalpoint seat plus heaps more. Expect to see him shredding his new set up at the Toormina comp this weekend.
Yo yo !!
Richard at Crossley Cycles was the first ever bike shop I went to when I got into this thing we call BMX. That was way back in 1988 & I have shopped there ever since.
Richard has helped me out beyond comprehension & I could never really pay him back for his support over the years. Thanks Richard !! It’s good to see him continuing this support towards riders like Alex Hiam these days.
Richard has always done things a little old school, so Cooper Brownlee (from Focalpoint BMX) & us here at Colony got together to get him a simple website going. Crossley’s are now in the 21st century, hooray !! Click here now to check out the website from one of the original BMX shops in Australia.

Alex Hiam is off to Mackay this weekend for the X Kings dirt jump comp going down up there. Organised by the guys at Corry Cycles & Pure BS it is set to be a pretty fun event with some good prize money up for grabs. We have helped out with the event by supplying prizes & sending Alex up there to shred. Click here for more info.
The set up for the comp on the weekend.
