ART BASEL RAMP IN MIAMI
Our wood crew just returned from Miami, Florida where they built a ramp as an Art installation for the Art Basel art show. Art Basel is one of the biggest art gatherings in the world each year. This year at Art Basel they had a themed area on the beach called "Concrete Waves: Homage to Skate Culture" and features art revolving around skate culture. Our ramp was placed directly in the center of this themed area. Jason Ranft from our crew was asked to skate in a demo on the ramp alongside Tony Alva!
