Thursday, August 26th, 2010

News 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.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: COLONY SWEET TOOTH FRAME

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Not 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.

ESCAPING THE WINTER CHILL

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Above 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.

Bobbie

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.

ROOF RIDING WITH SEAN BURNS

Friday, June 4th, 2010

OK… this has nothing really to do with Above All BMX - but saw this amazing pic sequence and read the story behind the pic.

Sean Burns massive roofdrop.

Story goes the rest of the sequence shows him run into a fence. The fence got broke as well as Sean’s ankle. Gets out of hospital and gets the bill to fix the fence. Ouch.

Get mum and dad’s permission before trying this at home kids…
