The Solitary Arts is a small, new, creative-driven skateboard company that exists quietly on the fringe of the industry. Headed up by one of my personal favorite artists, Geoff Mcfetridge, in his own words:

“The Solitary Arts is about triggering the paradigm shift, about looking beyond the definitions of what skateboarding is, and what a skateboard is. Skateboarding is moments between tricks, its different boards for different skate spots, sometimes it’s trick-less, it’s about sometimes riding wheels that are not so hard and loud that you can’t hear yourself think. It can be silent no-tap ollies and carving in a way you can only do with soft wheels. It’s about a quiver… We have no intention of creating boards for “getting beers” – these boards are for skating. These boards are aperitif’s, digestif’s and palette cleansers. They are in your carry on bag, under your table at Cafe de Flore and shredding Bronson ditch…”

That pretty much sums it up. If you're unfamiliar with Geoff and his work, have a look at the video below to gain some insight, then dig around the web if you want to find out more. If you're already familiar, then just get really fucking stoked that this company exists.
