60’s & 70’s VINTAGE SKATEBOARD COLLECTION I am interested in the item not only as a historical piece, but particularly in the emotional relationship established with the object at two stages: past and present. Be it the nostalgic memory of freedom and rebellion associated with our youth, or how a skateboard awakens the child within us even today. The other aspect I'm interested in is the history of the sport, not only because of how it reflects the cultural, social and technological context of the time but I'm especially fascinated with the phenome� non of massification. The way a marginal activity becomes a universal sport. And this transformation took place mainly between the 60s and the 70s. You’ve gotta love the pioneers! Basically what fascinates me is how the "new" transforms, while the "old" soothes the soul. I hope you'll have as much fun on this ride as I have.
