Kenny Anderson – Artist Reel
August 18th, 2010 | LyleArt and fashion…… useful? irrelevant? It has been subjected to debate for years and will be for many more to come. One thing can not be denied; the influence of skateboarding on the subject and vise versa. Can you remember your favorite skateboard deck? Did you purchase it and mount it on your wall as ART? It hard to deny the impact skateboarding shoes have made on the FASHION world.
At Solid we appreciate ALL aspects of art and fashion, hesh to fresh, 501′s and Skate Hi’s, Art school graduate? We respect you all because we have common interests. Skateboarding, snowboarding, sneakers, fashion, the list goes on. This debate will carry on and if you care to keep an open mind and understand all sides we need to keep the debate alive. Want to shoot the Sh@t about it come to Solid we love to here what you have to say about it.
“When the artist is alive in any person… he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and he opens ways for better understanding.” (Robert Henri)
All that aside we also really love skateboarding so enjoy this video, Kenny Anderson Artist Reel.

La Cliche
August 14th, 2010 | LyleGrab your baguette and a bottle of wine cause French Fred has put together a new teaser for Cliché’s latest offering La Cliché. If you are unfamiliar with French Fred and his work, he is truly an innovator when it comes to filming techniques. The film promises to be not only stimulating for its talent on the board but also for the artistic way in which it is shot and edited. Featuring all the usual European suspects as well as Brophy from Oz and Brezinski from the U.S., it’s going to be one to watch out for.

Self Portrait
Steve is part of Solid’s skate team but he’s about way more than just skateboarding. He just recently moved back home after spending several months in China and Vietnam. Steve has a super creative eye,and the best natural style.
Photography is something that is pretty important to him and something he is very passionate about.We’re posting a few of his pictures on to give you a little insight into one of the most talented up and coming rippers(and photographer).If you want to see more of Steve’s work check out his flickr.

Old Chinese man,Guilin,China.
If you put your finger in front of this man’s face dividing the left side from the right side its almost as if he is expressing two differant emotions at once.
Travel Belongings, Mui Ne, Vietnam
I came all the way from the north tip to almost as far south as you can go in Vietnam.I stayed in Mui Ne for a week and this is just a photo of what I took with me.The sunblock was probably used more than my skateboard
Ben stewart – melon
Ben “Spirit Fingers” Stewart.If anyone has skated Millenium in Sherwood Park you know there is hardly any run up for this.He ran threw his board down pumped over the bank and grabbed melon over Ryan Fyfe Brown.The raddest thing about ben is he skates for himself not for anyone else.He would of done that without anyone taking a photo,just because he loves skateboarding.

New Nixon Watches
July 9th, 2010 | LyleWe just got these fresh new Nixon watches dropped off the other day. Four new Rubber Players (real diamonds YO!) and a selection from the limited Drab Collection. The Drab Collection offers a military green paint on the bezel and metal wrist bands. The Drab finish is meant to take a beating like the paint on military vehicals. A very original idea from Nixon.

A little about Nixon
We make the little shit better. The stuff you have that isn’t noticed first, but can’t be ignored. We pay attention to it. We argue about it. We work day and night to make the little shit as good as it can be, so when you wear it, you feel like you’ve got a leg up on the rest of the world. We believe that you deserve a lot of respect. When you choose to wear a watch, or select a wallet to hold your hard earned cash, or want to put the final touch on your steez, you deserve to have something that reflects your entire package. You may not know how to say it, but you’ve got something to say. Dammit brothers and sisters, you can’t slap on an off-the-shelf piece and consider yourself you. Can you? That’s why we started Nixon and that’s why, twelve years later, we’re still here.
Nestled comfortably out of the way up against the pacific ocean in southern California, and tucked neatly next to the best surf in Europe, you’ll find Nixon people doing what we do. What started as a frustration at a lack of quality watches that simultaneously do the talking for you and deliver what you need in various high stress work and play environments has grown into a network of athletes, rock stars, retailers, and dedicated loyalists that bring Nixon products to market.
Some people look at professional skateboarders, surfers, and snowboarders and mistakenly think they know what they’re looking at. Stereotyping can get you in trouble. Their skills are ridiculous, yes, but their experiences reach far beyond that handrail on the corner. Their actions are focused on perfecting their sports, but their interests and style are anything but focused. Their perspectives are unique, yes, but their needs are universal. It is our job to reconcile the former with the latter. Nixon hand picks those riders that are leaders in their sports and works with this elite group to make sure their perspectives contribute to a single unified expression: team designed, custom built.
