The nice thing about the internet is that even if you erase all of the stupid, hateful, idiotic things you say on your forums, someone out there has hung onto it.

No compromise;

At Solid we realize that 13.5 million of the 18.5 million skateboarders world wide comes from the United States, so we would expect that about 75% of skateboarding companies would be from the States. Supporting local skateboarders and skateboarding companies is a lofty goal but here at Solid we have from the start. By getting our shop decks sourced from a local skateboarder, Olive Manufacturing. There is no need to have our shop decks shipped from eastern Canada or China.

At Solid we have created a location based around skateboarding and snowboarding. Since skateboarding and snowboarding has always been about being unique why would we want to be like anyone else or like something from the past? Come to Solid and compare us to any shop out there now. We are one of a few, an experience that you would not expect at your average skateboard shop. Why? Because that is what we love to do, be original. Yeah we got headphones, we listen to our ipods when we shred. We have watches and sunglasses, its sunny out and we can tell time. We inventory all brands based on feedback from you, the customer. Check us out we have the most complete selection in Sherwood Park. No compromise.

We encourage our customers to visit the competition; we know you will be surprised. We have had years of experience and training, Solid has been a dream of the two owners for years and it show by how we choose our staff, and how involved they are in the local scene. Weather that be skateboarding or snowboarding you know our staff are 100% committed to it. So yeah, go to the competition check them out and then come back to Solid to get what you want, service and selection, with a genuine smile.

Solid believes that skateboarding has always been about the now and what is next, pay homage to our idols of the past but it truly is a youth movement. It always has been. No sense in living in the past you sound like an old man at the park “back in my day… D3’s were the sickest” Don’t like shopping at the mall shops don’t. No one is forcing you to give you money to the evil corporations or fake mall skate shops. Just stop whining.

Corporate involvement has been present since the beginning and skaters who are in the know will abandon these companies to companies that have core values.

Example;

In 1964, The Super Surfer Skateboard was licensed from RideMaster before Vita-Pakt Juice Company bought the license from them. Surf legend Hobie Alter worked with Robert Goodman of RideMaster originally using the Chicago wheels and trucks and later patenting the contained bearing wheels and triple cushion trucks. RideMaster also made a private label line for Sears, Wards and a few others.

Were not about to give you a complete history of the skateboard this is meant to serve as an example of corporate involvement for the past 45+ years.

At Solid our team riders, employees, shop locals, and owners ride and test all the equipment in the shop. No compromise, if it is garbage it doesn’t get shelf placement. We believe that a race to be the least expensive leads to poor quality, and Solid will not sacrifice ride for low-cost. Even our competitively priced products meet Solid’s high standards.
