Exhibit: Riding Concrete @ California Museum
Legendary Z-Boy Nathan Pratt, who co-starred in the 2002 documentary "Dogtown and Z- Boys", curated the "Riding Concrete: Skateboarding in California" exhibit. The exhibit explores the California-created sport of skateboarding featuring a range of skateboarding history from the earliest 1950s wood plank and metal roller skate wheel prototypes to the modern engineered marvels of today.
Highlights include many of the sports' firsts, including the first pro model skateboard, the first board with urethane wheels and the first Zephyr board. Over 200 unique items, many from The Sidewalk Shop, Skatelab and Z-BOY® Archive collections, are on display including Tony Hawk's autographed personal board, an extremely rare Willie Mays board and gear from over 30 California pros. The exhibit will continue through March 25th, 2012.
