Ramp It Up: Skateboard Culture in Native America (2010)

The National Museum of the American Indian (NYC) is currently exhibiting "Ramp It Up: Skateboard Culture in Native America". Ramp it Up celebrates the vibrancy, creativity, and controversy of American Indian skate culture. Skateboarding combines demanding physical exertion with design, graphic art, filmmaking, and music to produce a unique and dynamic culture. One of the most popular sports on Indian reservations, skateboarding has inspired American Indian and Native Hawaiian communities to host skateboard competitions and build skate parks to encourage their youth. Native entrepreneurs own skateboard companies and sponsor community-based skate teams. Native artists and filmmakers, inspired by their skating experiences, credit the sport with teaching them a successful work ethic. The exhibition features rare and archival photographs and film of Native skaters as well as skatedecks from Native companies and contemporary artists. For a glimpse, checkout this little YouTube clip.

Try to visit before the exhibition leaves New York on June 27, 2010.
