The upcoming exhibit, 'Recording the Ride: The Rise of Street-Style Skate Videos,' showcases the DIY filmmaking and cultural significance of 1980s and 1990s skate videos.
Skaters recorded tricks on low-budget equipment, creating grainy VHS videos that served as inspiration and instruction within the skate community, forming a proto social media.
Filmmaker Jacob Rosenberg emphasizes that 1990s skate videos established an aesthetic that is still foundational today, highlighting the need for museum recognition of this cultural documentation.
The exhibit features important skate video releases and artifacts, including productions from renowned brands like Powell Peralta and Plan B, celebrating a significant period in skate history.
