Skaters Shut Down Peachtree for Museum of Design Atlanta Exhibit

Skate ramps and grind rails were set up in the middle of Peachtree St. in between the High Museum and the Museum of Design Atlanta. It was in celebration of MODA’s new exhibit featuring skate deck art from the 70s through today. Skate decks are the actual wooden boards themselves, minus the wheels and axles. 34 year old Wes Pitts was there with his daughter. Both of whom made sure to bring their skateboards along.

“There are a couple in there that I’m really excited to see. Like there’s one of left in existence. Because these were ridden by 11 and 12 year olds back in the 70s and 80s, so they were left out in the rain, thrown in the pool, broken in half, things like that.”

Over 150 skate decks will be lining the walls of MODA through September 16^th
