GET WELL SHOUT OUTS….
Thursday, August 26th, 2010News has filtered down from Queensland that Colony shredder Alex Hiam has broken his ankle. He’s been in hospital yesterday for an operation that seems to have gone well. Expect him back on his 2011 Sweet tooth built up with the new Red Storm color parts around November or December. Click here to check it out.
All the best for a good recovery Alex.

In other Colony rider news, Chris Courtenay is well and truly on the road to recovery after his knee reconstruction surgery - and expects to be back on his bike around the same time as Alex.

MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE ON SAFETY
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010One of our youngest customers - Bobbie - was having a great session during the holidays getting some tips from Colony pro rider Chris Courtenay.

A few minutes after Chris left Bob had a bad crash. Scary for a 9yo to have concussion and have his session (and holidays) end in an ambulance and emergency at hospital…

Thankfully he had a Protec Classic EPS helmet on. They are fully Australian standards approved and built to be comfortable and take the heavy hits you hope you never have. But if you do, it’s a great feeling when you know you made the right choice on safety.
Fingers crossed Bob is back shredding on his bike this weekend.

Saturday, July 10th, 2010PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: COLONY SWEET TOOTH FRAME
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010Not so long ago - if you were a young BMXer - you pretty much had to ride a frame way too big and heavy. But times have changed!
The Colony Sweet Tooth frame is especially made for little shredders. It’s Alex Hiam’s signature frame and available in 19.8″ and 20.25″ top tube lengths and features a shorter 13.5″ chain stay. And it’s light and strong.
We’ve build a few custom Sweet Tooth’s for some of our younger customers - including this one for Bobbie Saunders from Orange.
Bobbie boosting from the 7.5′ bowl at Caloundra Skatepark earlier this week.
To find out more about custom builds or frames for younger riders, drop into the shop or give us a call on (02) 9520 1818.
ESCAPING THE WINTER CHILL
Friday, July 2nd, 2010Above All customer and young Orange shredder Bobbie is on holidays in Queensland.
Got to Caloundra today and it’s a must visit park if you’re up this way.
Great park to ride and super friendly locals who shred their local. One of the guys - Jackson - has a camera and runs a BMX blog.
The locals tell me the stickers on the pole are at 5′ and 6′ - and Bob’s blasting a 7′ quarter.

Check the new Focalpoint Magazine for some more of Jackson’s pix which will be instore soon and his blog http://www.squeedspot.blogspot.com for a story he wrote on today’s session and some more good BMX pix.
For more of Bobbie check his Facebook page here.
