Open May 2004 through April 2005, Skateboarding Vancouver was a look at the colorful and controversial history of what has become a major cultural force. Shown were skateboards and equipment from all eras of the sport from the surf-inspired sixties to the electric eighties to the fine-arts inspired nineties. The exhibit revealed how skateboarding has been shaped by the city of Vancouver and how skateboarding has shaped the city itself.
