Colony BMX: Australia’s Trailblazer in Freestyle Riding 

In the world of BMX, few brands have carved out a legacy as bold and authentic as Colony BMX. Born from the streets and fueled by a passion for progression, Colony has become a cornerstone of the Australian BMX scene—and a respected name worldwide.

Origins: Where It All Began

Colony BMX was founded in 2005 by Clint Millar, a seasoned BMX rider and visionary based in Queensland, Australia. His mission was simple yet ambitious: to create a brand that truly represented Australian BMX culture while delivering high-quality, rider-approved products. Colony quickly became Australia’s first major BMX brand, setting the stage for a new era of homegrown innovation.

What They're Known For

Colony is celebrated for its complete BMX bikes, frames, and parts—everything from cranks and hubs to pedals and pegs. Their gear is designed with riders in mind, blending durability with sleek design. Over the years, they’ve expanded their offerings to include Flatland-specific components, thanks to collaborations with riders like Shane Badman, a globetrotting Flatland legend.

Signature frames like the Sweet Tooth (Alex Hiam), Burna (Mick Bayzand), and Miner (Zac Miner) have become staples in the BMX community, each reflecting the unique style and needs of their namesake riders.

Sponsorships and Team Riders

Colony has built a strong reputation for supporting talent across the globe. Their Pro Team has included standout riders such as:

  • Alex Hiam

  • Chris Courtenay

  • Jourdan Barba

  • Brandon Van Dulken

  • Tom Stretton

  • Mike Brennan

  • Cooper Brownlee

They also maintain a Flow Team, featuring up-and-coming riders like Justin Care, Peta Shepherd, Bruno Faucon, and Michal Mycek, among others. This commitment to nurturing talent has helped Colony stay connected to the grassroots of BMX while pushing the sport forward.

What They’re Up To Now

Today, Colony continues to thrive as a rider-driven brand. They regularly release new edits, sponsor events, and drop fresh gear that reflects the evolving needs of BMX riders. Whether it's a new line of frames or a behind-the-scenes video from a road trip, Colony keeps the BMX spirit alive and well.

Their headquarters in Loganholme, Queensland remains a hub of creativity and innovation, and their products are shipped worldwide—bringing a slice of Aussie BMX to riders everywhere.
