Up and running.


The exhibition is up and running.



We have a new kind of visitors in this building for sure.

The kids are dragging their parents to the hall where the skateboards are on display......in some cases the parents are dragging their kids.

I have met a lot of old skater-friends from the 70:s who think this is great and several of them are planning to buy a board and start again...like I did.

Some of our visitors think they are to old to try but hey....you can never be to old to skate.

There are so many different kinds of boards and ways to ride them so this is not a problem.

If you choose to very gently cruise in the park or throw yourself down a fast hill, drop in a pool or grind some rails, it will be a great experience and will make you feel like a happy kid again. Please try it.

I´ve said it before and I will say it again........

SKATE OR DIE!

Building in progress


We have started the building phase at the museum.

Steelpipes will be shaped into a gigant spiral that runs through the room.

There will be boards attached to that spiral.


The plan is also to construct some odd shapes that puts the gravity aside and gives us some interresting possibilitys.

Of course you will be able to sit down ( or stand up ) on the brand new skatebenches.

Skateboards
Röhsska Museum 18 June – 2 November 2008
With design, fashion and handicraft as the point of departure we focus on the rolling board


The exhibition will describe skating as a lifestyle, the board as a design object and to it the fashion. The Röhsska Museum will dive deep into this world phenomenon, with the board as a passion, a must and a life philosophy for many. After 50 years of product development, this apparently simple concept which has become a million dollar industry and an elite-athletic is examined. The exhibition can be considered as a warm-up before the World Championship in slalom skateboard which will take
place in Göteborg on the 1st – 3rd of August 2008.
