FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

The newest stuff we have that we really need to let people know about is the new safety gear. Might not seem very exciting until you actually see and wear these things. We put a substantial amount of work into each piece. The idea behind the stuff was that we needed to combat complete bikes that are coming with great parts for $250. Equipped as well as they are from the factory, riders don't need as many upgrades as they used to. So, while we are working on the evolution of wearable items like tires and grips, we decided to make some pads (Something that doesn't come on that new $299 MirraCo bike already). The pads are super slim and have removable hard cups. The sock-like material was lifted from a Nike volleyball or soccer knee pad.

Birmingham, August, 2006  NASS 2006: Britain’s biggest freesports event of the year took place last weekend at the Birmingham NEC, with shows and contests in BMX, Skateboard, Inline and Freestyle Motocross. The Braun cruZer Spine returned to NASS for the second year running in order to host the second round of the Braun cruZer Tour, fresh from the first round held at the Suzuki BMX Masters one week earlier.  The 12 competitors impressed everyone during Saturday’s qualifying, laying down huge runs of massive and technically difficult tricks. 

-The first range of products are in production now & will be available worldwide in September. Colony have also struck up a deal with Mirraco where Ryan Guettler's signature Unlucky13 Bars & Official Forks will be spec'd on Ryan's Limited complete bike as well as Colony's Oneway crmo pegs that weigh the same as titanium pegs!

-Colony BMX is proud to announce that Colony will be distributed in the following countries by some of the best BMX distribution companies out there:

The tenth anniversary of the KoNY was a good time and lots of good riding went down . Steve McCann takes home the bragging rights as the new King of New York! Many thanks to Danny Parks and the old school Mullaly crew and NYC parks department for hooking up this action packed competition. The pro class was a blast with the likes of Steve McCann who was totally killing the Mullaly park. Adrian Henderson from Colorado battled his way into second place and Jorge the "EAGLE" Jovel local Bronx native took third.

It is with great pleasure to announce that SE’s Javier Colombo is the 2007 U.C.I. Elite Men’s Pro BMX World Champion. The race took place this past weekend in Sao Paulo, Brazil on one of the best World Championship tracks to date. Javier rode strong throughout the day and qualified to the 8-man main event, beating out over 90 of the world’s best riders from over 20 different countries.

In the final, Javier had a great start on his PK Ripper Team bike and went into the first turn in 2nd place, just behind former National Champion, Randy Stumpfhauser (GT Bikes). Javier rode a strong lap and stayed within striking distance of Randy throughout the two pro sections and five turns. Coming out of the final turn, Javier charged hard and pulled up along side of Randy. With approximately 25 ft to the finish, Javier rode the final jumps with more aggression and passed Randy by a half of a bike length for the U.C.I. World Championships win!
