Kelly Dunn’s Journal Entry
Posted by: nikitaclothing on: March 27, 2009
heyhey
I have been wearing all my band shirts out, and my nikita tshirts from last year because it has been warming up. I went out to a st patty’s day parade this weekend and street skated there the entire time on one gap KILLING my legs! I had to walk up to my car up a 3 mile city road that slants up at like a 70 degree angle, so my thighs feel like I ran a marathon, still… my legs haven’t hurt this bad since I was really young lol! However, I have a few pictures from that day street skating, none with the parade sadly. We are working on a video for me, but the last weekend I went out street skating I somehow erased all my footage, so I was angry I have to go back and re do it all!
(the first pic is me pre smacking my lip onto that rail, it was the first try and the last try, i was attempting to manual ollie out and it idn’t work, luckily my lip ring took the blow lol then there are some from when i got back to the park)

Surf babe, Addie Gibson, gives us an update about life on the beach:
“We were on a trip down to cocoa for a contest, and after a long day of surfing our heats, me, and my friends decided to go spend the last 20 minutes of sunshine on the beach. While me and my other surf buddy were heading to the water, my friend that loves taking pictures decided to take some pictures of us while running to the water….and BAM! She got this perfect shot of me!Also my mom and other friends took the other pictures of me..free surfing the waves were really fun and I had a blast!”
Nikita Photoshoot Contest #3
Posted by: nikitaclothing on: March 26, 2009
Three is the magic number and this is the third opportunity of its kind from Nikita offering a couple of lucky ladies the chance to shine among some of our best team riders, in our Spring/Summer 2010 photoshoot that will take place in Miami this spring. Two lucky girls will be picked to join the Nikita team for the photoshoot, earning a spot in all our Spring/Summer 2010 catalogues, websites and perhaps some full page ads in international magazines! Will one of them be …you?!
Last year's winners, Laura Austin & Pia Anette Brandvik, travelled to the Fall/Winter photoshoot in Berlin.
Pia
All you have to do to take part is send in some pictures of yourself as the new Nikita girl! Photos can be as entertaining, wild and creative as you want to make them but most importantly, we want to see what you look like and hear in your own words what you enjoy doing. At the very least we need one full body shot, one portrait shot (of the face!) and details of how tall you are.
Make sure to understand that we will be shooting some bikinis as well as our full streetwear line!

Teale’s journal entry
Posted by: nikitaclothing on: March 23, 2009
I was down in Cocoa Beach, Fl for the weekend, and had my first heat for Open Women’s on Sunday around 10 which was a quarterfinal, I made it through that with some pretty tough competition, and had to go into the semifinal/ death heat to determine who from the second and third positions would continue on to the final. I had a very good heat for the semi final. Some awesome waves, perfect hight, breaking quite nicely.
I had two nice rights, and a beautiful left with three solid hits off the top, they just felt so smooth and awesome. This put me through to a stacked final, which I surfed with only a 15 minute break after the semi final. The final was a good heat, and I was definitely pleased with getting third, and winning some money. Valerie a women who I stayed with in Cocoa was the one taking pictures. All photos are from her photography skills.
Nikita Outerwear Shoot on YOBEAT
Posted by: nikitaclothing on: March 23, 2009
YOBEAT reporter Brooke Geery tagged along the ‘09 Nikita outwear shoot in Salt Lake City. Brooke wrote about her adventures with the crew and took a bunch of video clips of the girls snowboarding at various resorts. Out of all the video footage Brooke took, the sushi night that entailed everyone in the house dancing to Beyonce’s ‘All the single ladies’ has to be our favorite!
Check out the shenanigans:

Nikita ‘Sideway Sistas’ book!
Posted by: nikitaclothing on: March 23, 2009
‘SIDEWAY SISTAS’
The story of girls who ride
Not only will Nikita be celebrating a special 10 year anniversary in 2010, we will also be producing and publishing a 200 page coffee table book made largely from material sent in by Nikita girls from all over the world.
The project begins now and it begins here! The book will celebrate and portray the lifestyle of the Nikita girl; in photos, words, poems, graphics and art, or in any other creative way possible. The scrapbook style will be raw and graphic based, edited by an Icelandic local, Thordis Claessen. She has been a lifetime Nikita customer, snowboarder, skater, graphic designer and has already produced her own book, Icepick, about the Icelandic street art scene, that Nikita helped publish nearly two years ago.
Along with stories, people and pictures from the depths of Nikita’s archives, Nikita would like to dedicate the rest of the content to all girls who ride. Grab the opportunity to tell your own story, what you love, what you do and what Nikita means to you. Any form of entry is acceptable – this will be a coffee table book to truly represent the Nikita girl, a book about her life and something hopefully all will want to be a part of.
The story of how Nikita came about and the brains behind it, Heida Birgisdottir, the founder and head designer of the company will also be included. “Nikita has a huge fan base and really values the comments, support and input we have received from girls spanning the globe who love what we do. This will be a chance for us to say thanks and celebrate the last 10 amazing years with them too.” - Heida
All Nikita related photos, stories, art, designs, poems, drawings, recipes or anything you have and think might be good for the book, please either e-mail to sidewaysistas@nikitaclothing.com or send material to:

Clair’s Cortisone Injection
Posted by: nikitaclothing on: March 23, 2009
I’m riding again! Not 100% but thanks to Dr Hackett, this cortisone injection straight to the ankle (see below) should get me there! Although I have to say, being “grounded” has never been so fun when taking groomers with my mom and following the Nikita Team around Brighton and Park City.
The second week of March was the Nikita Outerwear Action shoot and unfortunately I couldn’t contribute my riding skills. Instead I hung out, carried a tripod around and was thoroughly impressed by the level of riding from the girls. Yeah Nikita!

This year marks the 3rd Buckle Up Big Air to tribute team rider Greg Smith and spread seatbelt awareness. All the proceeds gained from this contest (registration, raffle tickets sales, food sales) go to a fund to build a custom feature in memory of Greg Smith. About 200 competitors are expected, tons of more spectators, and a high level of competition all for a good cause!
