The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
Next up, I stopped by the Sidewall Distribution booth to check out what they had going on. This booth had a little bit of product from the different brands they carry like Hoffman, Colony, Division Brand, Urband Kreation, 43 Hardware, TSG helmets and Grindz. Check it out.
Colony‘s newest flow dude putting in some work! Check this out!
“Our youngest team rider and one of the newest to be added. Hailing from Brisbane Nuke kills it his local park of Kuruby. In a first for the 10 clips we were rained out mid filming so we had to come back and film the last half the next afternoon

Peta Shepherd recently built up a fresh new bike that you can get a closer look at over on the Colony website. Looks like a sturdy unit to me!
I’m always so stoked when Colony‘s Alex Hiam drops new clips. The little ripper keeps getting more and more insane! Here’s a few raw clips of him getting some riding time in at the Gold Coast Compound. So many variations and technical tricks on lock. You know you want to see this.

It looks like Colony has decided to discontinue its flatland program. Here’s some words about it from Clint Millar about the decision.
“Way back in 1988 when I started riding, I primarily rode flatland. I was however one of the few riders that rode flatland & also did ramp, street & dirt back then. Given my links to flatland back in the day, it was natural that I wanted to do a flatland range within Colony as a company. Especially when good friends of mine Shane Badman & Simon O’Brien were without support at the time it made perfect sense to help them out.
Over the years we have supported flatland as much as we can. It’s no secret that the flatland market is a small one indeed. Through our strong position within BMX as a whole we have been able to support this for some time but at some point we needed the flatland program to support itself. Unfortunately this has not been the case & after much deliberation & sadness we have had to pull the plug on our flatland program.
We will still support Shane, Simon & Shintaro as much as possible with our products but we will no longer be making any new flatland products moving forward.
The guys at Flatland Fuel still have some stocks while they last so if there is something you want before it’s all gone, I would at fast.
I would like to take this time to thank everyone for their support throughout the years, we’ve had some of the best riders on the planet ride some of our products & that is amazing to think about. So thanks for the good times & may the they continue into the future. You never know… we may bring out some very, very limited edition flatland products from time to time.” – Colony
Strictly BMX put together this quick video bike check with Mick Bayzand where he talks a little bit about the changes he made on his signature 2013 Teddy frame from Colony. There’s also some rad riding clips at the end that are worth a look!
