So two things – I was envisioning the Daggers Rule! at Exhibit A Gallery to be an art show that celebrates all things heavy metal skating. Secondly, the whole SoCal skate movement was a part of history I just wasn’t mentally present for. So when I got in, it was evident that I had stepped into [...]
