Gift Of Gab

Art for wear

LAKE FOREST, Calif. (October 23, 2009) – One way to show art to those who will never go to a gallery or flip through skate magazines is to wear it! etnies is proud to debut the Holiday 09 Artist Tees featuring the artwork of world renowned artist Dave Kinsey and brilliant photographer Oliver Barton on tee shirts. Wear these moving art shows wherever you go and expose Kinsey and Barton’s work to cops chasing you, liquor store clerks, commuters on the subway and bus, bartenders, teachers, friends and anybody else who crosses your path.



Left to right: Kinsey’s “Jimmy” and “Elephant” art tees.

Dave Kinsey said his goal is “to expose as many people to art as possible and to honor the power art has when it’s created and accepted.” HERE is some video footy of Kinsey explaining how through a range of mediums, he constructs multi-layered, textured environments easily likened to the complexities of contemporary life.


Left to right: A photo montage of skate spot photos titled “Spots.” Oliver Barton’s photo of Sean Malto and Mikey Taylor titled “Horseplay.”

If you follow skateboarding, chances are you have looked at many Oliver Barton photos. He views the world from a unique perspective which can be seen through the moments he captures in photographs.

etnies hates breast cancer

etnies Special-Edition Clothing and Shoes Will Benefit B4BC to Spread Breast Cancer Awareness:

Hate is a strong word, but etnies means it when it comes to the fight against breast cancer. Together etnies and Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC), a non-profit, youth-based breast cancer awareness organization, have teamed up for the fourth year to release a special-edition girl’s collection during October, National Breast Cancer Awareness month. In stores now, for each item sold, a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to fund breast cancer awareness and educational programs.

“As a brand that encourages a healthy and active lifestyle for all girls, it is essential for us to take part in organizations that advocate the importance of breast cancer awareness, education, prevention and fun all at the same time,” said Jeff Taylor, etnies brand marketing manager.

AKAMP

32 and etnies were proud to sponsor the opening of the AKAMP, a snowboard/ski/skate summer camp in Mont St-Sauveur. Two set-ups were made for the campers : one (first picture) consisted of a jibbing park with ledges and rails and the second had a jump and two rails. A big thumbs up to Max Brochu for this growing event. More than 60 campers were able to shred for a couple of days in the middle of summer, when snow usually is only in our best dreams. This gave the kids an opportunity to push some more in their bag of tricks. Thanks and big props to the AKAMP!

This past weekend etnies preented the Maloof Money Cup. Check the results HERE and see Sheckler and Malto’s final runs HERE.

Cdn Cnrt Kirkstone

Huge amount of shouts to Blaise for putting this down every single year. Always amazing and this Kirkstone edition was no different. The proof was over 60 people turning up to enter and ride, as well as tricks getting done in this park that have never been done, huge transfers, massive fly-outs to the grass field over the ridiculous height fence, as well as the young riders throwing down bigger than they should be able to. 3 Ride, TSG, etnies, LRG, Haro, Premium and Dragon all helped out the cause. Next one is Lafarge Park in Poco on July 26!

etnies Rap the reincarnation of a skateboarding classic

Coming from the first skateboarder-owned footwear company, the etnies Rap was ahead of its time, a classic skate shoe like nothing else on the market at the time. Originally produced in three colorways, the kicks were some of the hottest joints within the skate culture. With the scene now as technologically sound as ever, etnies looks to bring back the Rap model in 2009 with the addition of several technical upgrades including vulcanized soles alongside mid/low cut models.
Always insightful, this latest video from etnies showcases key inflencers including Sal Barbier, Natas Kaupas, founder Pierre Andre Senizergues and the always pleasurable VP Don Brown. Check it out HERE.

Blue Tile Lounge - Newmarket Ontario's Finest

Great job guys!

Weekend at Birnie's

It started with OMB (David Birnie) seeing all these lame events for kids that cost money for really...nothing. So, with the help of the Seymour park crew and friends in the industry (32, etnies, Dragon, Dinosaurswilldie, Union, Airblaster, LRG, Da Kine, Capita), we came up with a free event with an overkill of product and no charge for the kids to enter. Kind of a thank you to the kids that are in the know. Three years and four events later, we are at the Weekend at Birnies 2-day parks event. We did day one at the lodge chair park. About 70 kids hung around and rode and were rewarded for trying tricks and just having fun. Fratboy BBQ'd up hot dogs and the sun was out all day. Day two was at the mystery chair lower jib park - the park was perfect for easy hikes and lots of fun things to hit. We even had reps hiking all day long. Lots of kids returned as did the sun and a lot of fun was had. Thanks to everyone that helped me out it's not like I do this by myself. See you next year for the return of Smitty and Hoppy at the Sanford Halfpipe.

Real simple, we will pick obstacles and tricks to be done on them for the swago. " - Birnie
