How devo would you be?

So your out in town and you meet this nice girl, you spend the best part of six hours keeping her enthralled in conversation, you have used up every bit of charisma, charm and wit you have, you have spent a small countrys budget buying her and her friends drinks so you get their nod of approval, you finally get her home and semi undressed and you find her wearing one of these. Or worse still, you get home and your missus has a nice little strip tease suprise for you, yay! and you find her with one of these on after she has taken off all her lingerie. Why Lord? Why?! Bmx is gay enough these days without having to think about your bike while your attempting to "get jiggy with it". Nothing could possibly be more unappealing! Surely!


A colony G-string, oh and your boyfriend can have not one but two colony shirts as well, what a deal, dont all ring strictly at once ladies!

Whoops...our bad!

Nightfall has been up to no good! We got an email from a photgrapher the other day. And No! we are not going to tell you who, we told you we dont name names. It stated that we were illegally using a photo of Levi. So thats the reason it has been removed if anyone has noticed. We sincerely apologise for our fuckup. We dont know whether this constitutes bad form or not, but if so then we apologise for that to....in advance. He was real nice about it, but we found it kind of amusing, so here is the correspondance if anyone could be fucked reading it. Oh and its pasted so it will make more sense if you start at the bottom.

To Nightfall:
"Commercial use" does not mean the sale a picture, but rather the use of a person's likeness to endorse some product or service. Fundamentally MySpace is a social networking website. Personal use of the image by Levi for social networking purposes does not constitute endorsment of a product or service. If (name ommitted) decides to use them he did so with my consent. I have nothing against you and fully support homegrown businesses. I acknowledge your support of the local BMX stars like the Levi's and David. You have other images on your site which are excellent stylistically and technically. The small low resolution image in question can be removed without any impact to your site.

Thanks for your consideration.

From Nightfall:
whoa, this taking photos stuff sounds like pretty serious business huh?, didnt know we had to ask anyone for permission to use photos on levis myspace except levi, who said it was sweet, so in theory it should be sweet because you told him he could use the photos, and now he has and now they are on nightfall cause he rides for nightfall, make sense? and what exactly constitutes a commercial website anyhow? myspace seems pretty commercial to me, anyway, whatever, well take em down, we dont want to upset budding photographers, cheers

To Nightfall:
The photo of black Levi doing the flair. I told him he could use the photos. (I have also given verbal permission to (name ommitted) to use the photos). Reuse of the photos for a commercial website without permission is a different story. I am happy to provide authorised use of that photo or others by myself if it is requested.

From Nightfall:
what ? are you fucking joking ? or are you serious ? which photo ? please do tell ! we got them off his myspace , which is public property bascily, any tom dick and harry can get on there and save them , maybe you should be telling levi that that you own photos of him, oh wait, you mean white levi ? if so, then he emailed them to us and told us to put em up, if thats a problem then you are going to have to talk to levi or tell us what we need to do to resolve this situation, like removing them or putting your name under them or something, i dunno, let us know what ya wanna do
nightfall

To Nightfall:
"Sole rights to the photos are retained by the me with regard to one of Levi's photos. Permission has not been provided to use the photo taken from a "Rotorburn" forum linked to my Flikr web page. The disputed use of one of these photos is not authorised by the copyright or myself, the intellectual property owner, or the law. This information is accurate and that I am the copyright owner of this photograph."

Check it....this is absolute gold!

So I was surfing the world wide web and happened to stumble across this site. It's a bmx co. that has some sort of ties to Australia. Now I am not plugging something here, so I am not gonna name names. Not because we are scared of a defamation lawsuit, just because it isn't nice slagging people, well actually sometimes it is. But you know what they say, "loose lips sink ships". These guys look like they make some cool little bits and pieces. But this is what they state in their about page. It's probably still way better than ours mind you, but fuck it, we don't care anyway, so that's irrelevant. And I quote:


"The way we seen it, our company is run in a very different way to most other BMX or bike companies out there. Therefore they are (removed so as to not give away to much info)."
"The (insert name here) Bike Co. was founded in 2009 to provide riders in the BMX scene with a larger variety of options. In this case high end components for a lower price, which would appeal to most. We design our components around 5 key adjectives. These adjectives are light, trendy, stylish, rad and awesome, so don't expect any less from us.The (insert name here) Bike Co. is proudly a rider run and owned company!"


Must just be my stale sense of humour, but I was in stitches. Mmmm...different indeed. Sounds kinda of like a contradiction to me, considering most bike companies survive by giving the customer what is hot at the time. It's called supply and demand. Anyway after I'd stopped rolling around on the ground, and my guts stopped hurting, I had an epiphany. These guys are actually onto it! Because they obviously know that the vast majority of "sheeple" just want the lightest, trendiest, in style shit going. Why? Oh, that's easy, because so and so has it and it's fucking cool! As a result of this epiphany, and after digesting this information we have concluded that Nightfall is a sinking ship. Therefore we are cutting our losses, cashing our chips and fucking off to Thailand for a well deserved extended break. Whilst there we will attempt to hit on numerous backpackers (hopefully Swedish ones, cause they all look heaps better once they leave Sweden for some strange reason), watch strippers perform all kind of weird and wonderful circus acts with their private parts and drink cheap cocktails. Wish you were coming! Peace out fools.

Here is some "light", its defying physics, and is stuck to this dudes heads and that chicks shoulder while they are trying to get their mosh on . Copenhagen . Circa 06 .
This guy from South Africa whose name escapes me knew what was "trendy" way before his time, check out those jeans, yeh boy! Leading the pack! Epsom . Circa 06 .
Bas Keep, going scarily high whilst being incredibly "stylish". London . Circa 06 .
Farkis. End result of the first ever Nightfall BBQ. "Rad". Nuf said. Cairns . Circa 08 .
Weed is bad kids, true story. But this was "awesome". Weed growing in plain sight, and no one batting an eyelid. Mind you it may well have been hemp. Christiania . Circa 06 .

Righto....

Shit is gonna get real wierd around here shortly. Firstly, on rare occasions, we are gonna be chucking some videos/info up that is not exactly what your going to see in the mainstream. You dont have to believe it, we dont even believe it ALL, its just another way of looking at things. The world is a fucked up place sometimes, so people should be asking why?
And secondly, on a much lighter note, local skater/videographer/closet freestyle rapper extraordinaire Kennaz will be loading some shit from time to time. Most of it will be Cairns skate related stuff. Unlike some places in the country, the skaters and the bandits all get along round here. Nuf said. Laters.

Purple Monkey Dishwasher?

So here is a bit of stupid stuff we got up to a few weeks ago. I had this good idea to climb the new power line towers out Gvale way! We got lost and ended up in the back streets of Yarri Yo just chillin' with the offspring ha. Dave was a bit low on fuel so he filled up at ole Alfreds servo and on our way checked out a bit of the talent at back beach. Fuck that shit we got out of there bailed it straight outta there, child support was catching up with Dylan!!!

News, I guess?

So its getting kinda cold, like 16 degrees or something at night in Cairns......Brrrrrr. And we all know what that means? Cause we are all a bunch cold blooded pussies that live in FNQ that means hoodie weather right? So we will have hoodies done this week, if anyone is keen, drop us an email, send us a text, give us a ring, or send us a smoke signal. But be quick, cause I ordered fuck all, cause business is slow. Also finished finalizing the new frames, so they will be here in five to six weeks, give or take. So if your not one of those weight conscious ladyboys, not that they are heavy anyway! And you want a sweet frame that's actually had some thought put into it, whose head tube wont snap off and impale you when things go pear shaped, has more attention to detail than a hand built Ferrari and rides like Anna Kornikovas arse would if you were ever lucky enough to give it a hit. Then pull your fucking heads out of the sand and support an Australian company. Ooops....are we being to blunt? Well stiff shit! We highly doubt its really gonna effect the way things are anyway. Now for six or so people that arnt Levis friend on MySpace here are some photos we stole. Laters.
Keepin it simple.....but still stylin like only Levi can. Nice one brruvvaaa!

Turndown...obviously.

PS: Word on the street is there is comp on down at the sweet little park that is Bushland Beach just north of Townsville on Sunday. Head down (or up) if you can make it. And make sure you texta "Nightfall sucks!" and "Levi likes boys!" on your shirt, he will love it. Seriously!

The first celebrity swine flu fatality!

And we all know who he got it from eh...

MOGLI BOY

Sorry about the lack of updates, usual bullshit - laziness. So Levi's been ridin like a squirrel on steroids and he's definitely got some steeze on his bike like no other, word has it he's actually Michael Jackson and Gordon Ramsey's love child.

De La Soul said it, we second it. If ya not feeling it, get the fuck out!
Townsville ended up being pretty fun times. We went over to maggie island and stayed there friday night. Rode the park sat for a bit, but it was hot, and most of us were not in the best state. But it didnt stop us riding from horseshoe back to the ferry, just so we could go as fast as humanely possible down the other side of the range. We then got on the ferry and headed back to the mainland and went to the festival thing they had in town, it was ok. But at 90 bucks a pop, probably not worth it in hindsight. We all crashed in the van sat after a brief appearance in town. Sunday we rode Murray, the uni banks , Bushland Beach, and quickly stopped at Ingham on the way home.
Highlight of the weekend? Doing the touristy thing and going up Castle Hill, then bombing back down it. The most fun you could ever have on a small bike, full stop! If you live in Townsville and dont do this at least once a week, you got issues.
Ps Some other photos will be posted at some stage (along with a sequence hopefully), probably when i get some other internet connection, that isnt camel pace. Oh, and im off to the sticks again, so dylan and steve will be doing some posting soon. Get amongst it!
