Fisheye Collection and Photo/Video Shoot
For the launch of our all-new Fisheye Collection, we tapped long time Nixon team rider @zakramiller and skateboarding’s current king of the fisheye lens, @priceyhot, to shoot their version of @jgrantbrittain’s iconic 1986 pole cam photo of @zakramiller’s dad, @owlcat.
Since the original pool in Upland, CA is long gone, we headed out to the desert where an almost exact replica sits at @laquintaxpark. Don’t worry, we invited @jgrantbrittain to the session to make sure we had his blessing. It also helped for some great banter as @priceyhot was once @jgrantbrittain’s intern years ago.
Watch the full video. And check out the Fisheye Collection.

Interview with Damin Lujan
Back in 2022, we were looking for a talented painter to take on the monumental task of painting The Rolling Stones logo on the infamous Nude Bowl for the launch of our collaboration. Little did we know that we weren’t just being introduced to a painter, but to someone who would become a true friend of the brand.
Damin Lujan has since worked on numerous Nixon projects with us, including the life-size Ripper box that Dylan Jaeb skated for our ad in Thrasher magazine.
Recently, we sat down with Damin to catch up, get some behind-the-scenes insight into his painting process, and hear about what’s coming next.
