Yawo 2009....

We are having a BBQ this Sunday the 27th of Dec to say Yawo to 2009, and we will be anti premiering a couple DVDs (namely the new Fit and Two wheels and pub meals). All invited, so if your in Cairns and you ride, get some fucking christmas spirit and turn up. If you dont know where then ask someone whos in the know.

Thanks to anyone whos put a smile on our face, let us sleep on their couch/floor, had a ride or drink with us, came to a jam, lent a hand, and generally supported Nightfall in 2009....its very much appreciated. Dunno whats happeneing in the New Year, either Nightfall is gonna start kicking some ass, or we are gonna die a slow agonising death. Either way, 2009 has been an awesome year. Thanks again. Hope everyone has a merry christmas, and a happy new year!

No news...old random shots.

Turndown amongst an Atherton sunset.

Some fucking clown...up some stairs.

The Fonz...maybe reincarnated.

Hopefully we will be having a BBQ to say goodbye to 2009 and anti premiere a couple of newish DVDs real soon, when i get back from the sticks. Youll know when i know. Later.

Mondays suck...

...so heres a couple things to put a smile on ya face...

Anti Tank Bomb

Something worth a look...



Ahh, technology!

Anchor bmx...

is the shit! Wish i was in Melbourne for this. One, cause it would be an awesome day. Two, because the TOTE is fucking awsome. If your in the genarl vicinity of Collingwood on the 29th...get your arse there!

Mulesy...

...found this photo of our long lost cousin brother from another mother, Josh (having a rough trott) Mules, in the centre page of focalpoint. Shit yeah! Probably taken some time before he got his neck broke, healed up, and then broke his foot.....get well soon. In other Mulesy news. Word on th street is, he is moving to the Goldie to reside with Cairns expat shredder extraordinaire Soco, sometime real soon. Oooooh shit!

Even though everyone in the whole world knows about it, go check out http://www.focalpointbmx.com/ or http://oneloveonelife.net/, cause it is loaded with good photos(like the one i taxed above), and they are doing good shit for OZ bmx.....thats news, im out.

Stripper Jam Vid!!!

Here it is ladies...sorry about the wait, but these things take time.
Rediculously cheap/free liquor, a ramp, a DJ, a free BBQ, entertainment (in the form of two best mates fighting each other after a big day on the turkey), three lovelie ladies with their bossoms out all night, and a stripper.... I dunno what you gotta do to get people physced on a party anymore, but i could have counted all the BMX riders there on the fingers of three hands....pretty dismal really. Oh well. If you werent there.......your loss!


Thanks heaps to Kennaz for taking time out and making this edit. Look him up on youtube or somewhere, cause hes dropping a Cairns skateboarding vid (lovestick) real soon...cant wait.

Levi...

He doesnt drink bugger all, he doesnt do drugs, he doesnt talk smack about people, he doesnt bitch an complain about shit, hes always smiling, an in the ten or so years hes been riding i dont think i have ever seen him REALLY angry about anything. And although he has been known to sleep more than the average sloth on occasion, hes still always keen to go digging, building and genearlly lend a hand.
The Cairns riding scene would probably be alot better if there were more kids like Levi willing to contribute, and less kids rolling around trying to look the part.
Levi deserves everything he gets. Oh, and he also kicks ass on a bike.

Home sweet home....

....thank fuck! So i guess its official, i am now on the world wide FBI database after entering the U.S. of A and letting them scan my retinas and take my fingerprints. Hopefully they dont find em anywhere cause we got up to a fair ammount of mischief whilst there, anyone up for an extradition? Haha As usual me other favourite passtime took front seat....drinking an having a sick ass time. Thanks heaps to all the fucking awesome people we met, especially Colby an J in San Fran an all the dudes at Solid, they know where its at! Its raining in Cairns, so i can only assume there will be some digging happening soon, if anyones keen...see ya up there.

Grand canyon...yep its a rather fucking large hole in the ground.

Arizona.

Austin...at 5 in the morning. Unfortunately this and the highway was about all i saw. Because about 25 minutes after this shot was taken i realized i had lost my wallet an backtracked 300 mile to attempt to find it. I failed, therefore i stayed awake for two nights and two days, didnt ride a single thing, felt like death, and lost 800 bucks. America:1 Daniel:Nil

Yosemite National Park, you gotta go here for 2 reasons. One is, its fucking beautiful. Two is, you can bomb down a hill at warp speed for fifteen miles in some places, think about it, thats a long time to be gliding....shit yeah!

Overhanging rock, Yosemite. 1 mile....straight down. Only thing missing in this photo is a base jumping shute, unfortunately!

San Fransisco.

Everything is big in America, freeways, peoples asses, cars, beers, and even bossoms on manequins. Awesome.

Customs siezed my two pine cones i brought home from Yosemite i was gonna plant. But for some reason they didnt have a problem with all this stuff. And yes,that hat is signed by Ron Jeremy, who we happened to run into in a bar in LA, we think he was off his head on heroin, cause he was definately on the nod.

Note: Do not do Salvia if you ever go to America, its seriously bad shit.

Oh an go check out this link ( i cant get it to embed cause im fucking hopeless) for the Hell on Wheels jam that was on in San Fran while i was there, it was pretty awesome cruising the streets with about 150 BMXers stopping traffic. http://espn.go.com/action/bmx/blog/_/post/4626079

Well shoppers its now only 8 weeks till the mighty Xmas and you all know brats all over the show are going to be wanting nightfall merchandise off their hard working (ever slaving to their every whim ever wondering are we doing it right?) parents. Well if you end up with some nightfall shirt wearing kid at the very least you must be doing something right. I wonder if Eli's boys will be getting night fall shirts this xmas?

Halloween!

Happy All Hallows Eve.....get dressed up and get bent outta shape, cause thats what we'll be doing.

some jumps i built with some dudes i know and an old sprocket. cute knox, not so cute dylan.

Dan Becomes Famous!

Well I haven't really been keeping track of any of the vids, but I did notice that this little number I uploaded last year has just hit 10 000 views today, finally making Dan famous!



It's been a long, hard road for Dan, glad to see all his work has finally paid off.

Cairns News.

Just chucking up a new post, don't really have any news though so I am not sure why I called it that.

Um, Besil went for a ride yesterday, haven't seen Ash for a few weeks and Levi sent me a message with his new number - so ladies if you want it contact me. I won't post it on the blog 'cause of his pending lawsuits and I'm sure there are a few people that are still chasing him for child support...

Hope your trip is going well, Dan. Please don't come back with a strange half breed accent though like some other "Aussies" do. (Not mentioning any names.. cough cough Chad Reed cough...)

I am not exactly sure who runs this blog, but it really well layed out, informative, and whoever is in charge seems to have a fairly good technical background. Therefore, he is entitled to his opinions, unlike alot of people who know fuck all about jack shit, and still think they can have an educated discussion/viewpoint on a subject they know little to nothing of. Oh, and we somehow got a mention, which is good. Check it out at http://bmx-tec.blogspot.com/

Ps If someone back home with a password could post something, that would be sweet.

Mogli...

...busting a few moves out at Trinty beach park last night. You can do the maths.

Summer...

...its a coming. And if you've experienced a summer in the tropics, you'll know its kind of like hell, but with rediculous humidity. The best shit ever is when your sweating so much, you get that salty shit running off your brow and into your eye....love that feeling! But whats worse is drinking hot beer, luckily for you though we got ya covered, so if your chasing a cooler hit us up!

Night falls on the outback....again!

Nightfall!











Its amazing what you find down the local dump.
Barspin.












Disaster.












A terrible terrible photo of a terrible railhop!

The pandanus grove by night (somewhere in the Gulf)















Another day, another dollar, another two week stint in the middle of nowhere....how nice. More space filler. Sorry about some of the photos, it was hard getting the apprentice to sort some o these out. If anyone has got any local news, photos, or general random shit, send it in. Cause i got nothing!
