Deckades Skateboard Exhibition

This is simply to awesome not to post,  the collection of original decks available for this show is just obscene. England's Shiner Distribution is opening up their vaults and having a putting together a show, featuring some 200 classic boards. The rumor is that they kept at least one of every deck that ever went through there building. That seems almost unheard of, but for guys like me it's amazing that someone had the forethought to do it. The video posted is a walk down memory lane and a warm glimpse back at my childhood.

The show is running for a month at Howies in Bristol. Opening day is Saturday, April 17th.This is a sneak preview trailer for a one off exhibition of 3 deckades of skateboard art that howies and Shiners Distribution are curating at howies 62 Queens Road store in Bristol running from April 17th. Chris Allen of Shiner has kindly agreed to let us have access to their whole archive of decks. We’ve chosen over 200 favorites which will be on show for a month. With boards from every deckade that Shiners have been distributing the biggest names in skateboarding to the british public it will be a treat for any skateboard fan and graphic freak .
