Posted 12/06/2011 06:51:11 by Kelly
The “Pave The Way” photo show opened to a packed house last Thursday at the Vans DQM General in NYC with skaters, friends and family gathering to view the legendary work of Mofo, C.R. Stecyk III, Lance Dawes and Tobin Yelland. Chronicling their lives and careers behind the camera, "Pave the Way" featured early pages, covers and out-takes from iconic skate magazines including Thrasher, Slap and Skateboarder as well some of the most pivotal photographs in skateboard history.
“'Pave The Way' transported guests back to a different time, before 100k purses and endorsement deals were motivators, when people like Mofo, Stecyk, Dawes and Yelland were out there giving us images and making our imaginations work overtime, pushing us to progress not only as skaters but as people," said DQM owner Chris Keeffe. "It was a true tribute to the presence, support, history and relevance of skateboarding in New York."
A special thanks to Mofo, Stecyk, Dawes, Yelland and everyone that came out to support the event.
“Pave The Way” is on display now through January 4, 2012 at the Vans DQM General at 93 Grand St. New York, NY 10013. All of the artwork is for sale and there are still prints available!
