User:DanMurphy919/Fallacy Sk8 Kru

Fallacy Sk8 Kru is a local skateboarding crew located in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The name of the group "Fallacy" means an unspoken truth. Fallacy was started on December 23rd, 2008 by skateboarders Michael "McStan" Stanley, Nathan Belch and the teams leader Donovan Way. The group formed from the break up of a larger skate team known as "CuM", the members of CuM who did not join fallacy stuck with Dan Murphy and changed the from CuM to KSK (kronic skate kr3w).

MEMBERS

December 2008 - March 2009

Dan Murphy Era
Dan Murphy era After the collapse of KSK in late February and an injury sidelining Dan Murphy (a local filmer and occasional skater), FALLACY invited Dan to assume the role of filmer as the current filmer, Ethan Fogleman, had to many other commitments to keep up with the group. Dan happily accepted to offer. Dan Murphy and Donovan Way were the two who had the falling out in December that lead to the separation of CuM SK8. Prior to joining FALLACY Dan Murphy had produced one skate and two short dvds. Since joining FALLACY Dan Murphy has created the filming label "NC919" which references to Hillsborough area. Dan Murphy has now made/ produced 11 total, 10 with FALLACY and is currently working on 4 more set to release late this summer.

March 2009 - May 2009

APRIL 20th, 2009
On Friday April 20th, 2009 Fallacy members Nate Koester and Donovan Way got into a heated discussion as to who was the better skater on the team. Nate aware of Donovan's role on the team instantly quit the team along with close friend, and at the time second best skater, Brian Clark. Tension between Nathan/Donovan and Michael had also started arising as Nathan and Donovan felt that Michael was boosting about being the best skater (which by far the best skater has been Donovan). Michael secretly told filmer Dan Murphy that he was quitting once his part was done and his part had been through production. Johnny Allseitz was torn between the sides however a decision was made by remaining member Brad Clark, Nathan Belch, Donovan Way and Dan Murphy to ask him to leave to "improve and get better". Landon Rigsbee already inactive left the group on good terms with no tension with anyone on or off the team. The spring montage was released April 26th, 2009 well before its May 12th, 2009 planned release date.

SUMMER 2009
With only three members left on the team the team looked to expand and did so immediately when once thought-to-be member Aaron Cannada requested to Dan that he be apart of the next video. Dan also talked to close friend Matt Wright into joining the group. The new skill ranking were as followed:

W/O Aaron Cannada and Matt Wright 1. Donovan Way 2. Nathan Belch 3. Brad Clark

WITH Aaron and Matt W. 1. Donovan Way 2. Matt Wright 3. Aaron Cannada 4.  Nathan Belch  5. Brad Clark

Another close friend of Dan and Donovan's who also spent some time in the now defunct KSK, Nakula Goodine joined along with a friend of Nakula's, Donovan's and Matt Wright's; Matt Jones joined the team. New rankings:

It was decided on May 18th, 2009 that no additional members would be added to the summer video as production and filming had already begun prior to the arrival of Matt Jones and Nakula Goodine causing a whole new summer team trailer to be made. 1. Donovan Way 2. Nakula Goodine/Matt Wright 3. Matt Jones 4. Aaron Cannada 5. Brad Clark/ Nathan Belch 

It was decided on July 13th, 2009 that both Matt Wright (inactive with a busy schedule) and Matt Jones (who had recently suffered an ankle injury) would be taken out of the summer montage and placed in a separate video along with also released member Nathan Belch's part; "Those that were cut"; that would come out days prior to the summer montage.

Nathan Belch
Very early into the summer filming Donovan began to expression his displeasure towards Nathan's ego which he, and many others, felt that sometimes got in the way of Nathan's attitude around the guys. An external conflict between Landon and Nathan also fueled to this heat on Nathan as everyone seemingly was siding with Landon on this issue. On June 7th, Donovan made it clear to the group that either he and filmer Dan Murphy were out (leaving the team without a filmer) or Nathan was out. On June 9th, 2009 Nathan was officially contacted by Dan (who often plays the role of the gofer) that he had been kicked off of Fallacy.

The End of Fallacy

On August 24th, 2009 Dan Murphy and Donovan Way officially decided to end Fallacy Sk8. All the skaters continue to skate and the filmers have continued to film. DanMurphy919 went on to great fame with the release of "HYPE" a DanMurphy-ewfman style skate video that featured Donovan Way, Nakula Goodine, Aaron Cannada, Nathan Belch and Jon Zurowski- a new skater from Virginia who is now the best skater in the 27278 area.
